Mr. Steele gazed hungrily at me. He licked his lips and swallowed hard, suppressing a growl behind his Adam's apple. His wide starry eyes traced the outline of my teenage body as I hesitantly took another step forward.
"Come closer," he instructed, extending an index finger and curling it upwards. I obediently complied as I held my breath and bit my lower lip before taking the final steps towards his mahogany desk.
"Care to explain?" Mr. Steele asked firmly, tapping a piece of notebook paper on his desk that was thoroughly crumpled yet laid out flat. I winched my eyes and averted my gaze, all too aware of the obscenities adorning that page.
"Well... what do you have to say for yourself?"
"I'm... sorry?" I finally replied; of course it was a total lie, but what else was I supposed to say? Was I supposed to tell Mr. Steele the truth? That I've had a crush on him since I started high school—since the 9th grade? Was I supposed to confess my undying love—and devilish fantasies—for this handsome, well-toned, and, according to my artistic depictions, well-hung biology teacher who was not only happily married but also had a son in my graduating class?!?
I started to blush as I stared intently into Mr. Steele's scowl, noticing how he looked even more handsome when he was slightly pissed off. The salt and pepper in his neatly trimmed scruff outlined Mr. Steele's sexy lips, which have distracted me in class far too many times to remember. My eyes slowly made their way up his defined cheekbones to his piercing blue eyes, which were staring back into my own, unblinking and burning with fiery emotion.
Uh-oh... Mr. Steele looks REALLY pissed off...
"Do you know how many times this was passed around the faculty lounge?!" Mr. Steele growled, grabbing the paper and wrapping his meaty fist around it. I jumped back a bit as a yelp escaped my throat. Oh crap—I didn't know other teachers saw my drawing too!
"At least 30 faculty members saw this THING before it was brought to me!" he exclaimed loudly, crumpling the paper into a tight ball before pitching it quickly into a trashcan below.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm soooo sorry," I sputtered and sobbed, bringing a hand to my trembling pout. Mr. Steele closed his eyes and turned away. Tears began to swell as I continued my plea:
"It was never supposed to get out of hand like this... it was just a stupid drawing I did for Jenny... we were just joking around Mr. Steele... I was kidding and said you sent me a dick pic and Jenny didn't believe me so OF COURSE I had to show her your dick pic and the only way to do that was if I drew a picture of you sending me a dick pic—"
"Alright that's enough," Mr. Steele sternly interrupted, cutting me off from continuing my run-on stories that I am kind of notorious for.
"Are... are you mad, Mr. Steele?"
He looked back over at me and narrowed his eyes before taking a deep sigh and confessing:
"No, I'm not mad... just, disappointed."
Ouch.
His words burned my ears and heated my heaving chest. I swallowed the lump in my throat and brought both hands to my eyes, gingerly wiping away beading tears atop my fingertips.
"You're a very talented student," Mr. Steele said above my slight sobs, "and you wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize that science scholarship, am I right?"
Oh crap—my scholarship?! Mr. Steele has that kind of pull? Oh shit—did I just seriously fuck things up beyond repair? More tears flowed as I furrowed my brow and shook my response, hiding behind my hands and not daring to look at Mr. Steele directly.
"Shhh, shhh," he started to console, sitting up a bit before leaning back in his chair, "don't worry; I'm not going to take that away from you. You really are... my most favorite... student..."
I snuck a peek between my fingers and could see that he looked sincere. I started to relax a little when Mr. Steele flashed a smile and my sobs automatically turned into giggles.
My god, I love his smile.
"How... how old are you again?" he suddenly asked, bringing his hand to his chin while looking me up and down a bit more intently than he had done before.
I was taken aback but instantly answered, "I'm eighteen, Mr. Steele."
He glanced towards the classroom door before brining his attention back to me. As I watched him look me up and down again, I observed him fiddling with the wedding band on his left hand. Mr. Steele noticed, and with eyes now locked onto mine, he slowly removed the golden ring and let it fall to the tabletop with a sharp metallic clank.
"Take your clothes... off... slowly."
I... I didn't even hesitate! I followed Mr. Steele's instructions like the obedient honors student that I am. I shimmied my shoulders and allowed my backpack to plummet to the floor without regard. I grabbed the hem of my t-shirt and lifted it up and over my head, tossing it aside with ease, smiling and blushing as I watched his eager reaction.
Mr. Steele growled his apparent approval. "Now, remove your skirt."
