After class, Diane gathered her things, when Mrs. Grace (looking more like a Miss Grace) re-entered the room, looking chastised and contrite. Diane noted that the teacher's outfit was looser on her body, and that she looked very young, perhaps 22 or 23. She was still barefoot, save for her hose, which was also baggy on her legs, and her wedding ring was missing.
Something unusual was going on, but she'd already suspected that. Rather than be disturbed or even upset by it, Diane simply smiled. Finally! Something to allay her boredom!
"...Mistress...I mean..Miss Taylor?" Miss Grace looked up at Diane hesitantly, her hands clasped together in front of her. Diane had been taller than the teacher previously, at least in her heels. And granted, the woman was barefoot now, but she was noticeably shorter than she'd been before.
She didn't miss the slip of the tongue either. How interesting.
"Yes, Mrs. Grace?"
Caroline Grace knew something was off. Wasn't her last name Pierce? When did she get married? She didn't have a ring, but she had vague memories of one. She didn't remember a man in her life- the last relationship had been with Valerie...oh she missed Val, she'd been such an attentive lover...she wondered where she was now...
She forced herself to pay attention to the girl in front of her. Diane Taylor was a tall, beautiful woman. She was so elegant and strong willed. If only she were younger- she'd heard the rumors that Diane was into girls...'wait, what am I thinking, she's a student!?'.
But she couldn't get the thought out of her head- Caroline liked being submissive to a strong woman, and she'd been surprised at how readily she'd submitted to Diane. "Please, Miss Grace...Caroline."
Diane raised an eyebrow, but she couldn't say she wasn't intrigued by this turn of events. "Caroline, such a pretty name. Very well." She then bowed her head to the smaller woman. "I apologize for my actions earlier. I was distracted by your question from my own thoughts, and my behavior was inexcusable. I will submit to any punishment you see fit, of course. However, I am happy to report I was able to finish the day's lesson in your stead."
Caroline just stared at the girl. "I, uh...did you? Oh...thank you...um...punishment...I mean, apology accepted."
Diane couldn't help but seize on the moment of weakness. "I appreciate that, but surely you cannot let this stand? You know, as I recall, you don't have any classes this hour. We would be undisturbed, and this is only my study hall period- so there is ample time to discipline me."
Caroline's eyes widened. "That isn't..I mean...but.." She shook her head. "Miss Taylor, I was wondering if you could help me. I..I lost control of the class today. It hasn't happened in a long time, but you seem to have no problem at all. Do you think you could...assist me in class tomorrow?"
'This is unexpected. But she looks so innocent and pure, how could I deny a maiden's request?' "If that is to be my punishment, then I accept, I would be glad to assist you."
"Oh no, that's not a, I mean, only if you want to. But it would be a huge help if I could learn from your example- I've always wanted to teach, but I'm...not very good at it. You're a natural though, so maybe..." She trailed off.
"There, there, dear Caroline. It would be my pleasure to assist you. Will there be anything else?"
'Yes, kiss me!' Caroline thought. 'Wait, no, this...this isn't right!' 'But it's what we want', responded an inner voice. Her heart seemed to beat faster, and her face flushed. "You could kiss me if you wanted." She blurted out.
Diane's eyes widened a fraction, then she leaned down and brushed her lips against Caroline's. Sensing no resistance, she deepened the kiss, placing her well-manicured hands on either side of the smaller woman's face. When she finally pulled away to draw a breath, she saw that Caroline's face was flushed, and her eyes held a mixture of desire and fear. "Was that to your liking?"
Caroline's voice quavered as she replied. "Y...yes!"
"I should warn you, I have other lovers, but if you want more than a kiss, and that doesn't bother you, I would be happy to continue." Diane purred.
"...not here. You say no one will miss you for awhile?"
"I can guarantee it." Diane smiled.
Without even bothering to put on her shoes, Caroline grabbed her purse and took our her keys. "Then do you feel like taking a ride?"
"I think that would be wonderful."
