Truant Teachers...

"You've just graduated in Teaching for the Secondary level, and you're done filling in with the School Board once one of the regulars gets sick. You get your first real class, your first real students - and a neighbor one door over who remembers you from back when you used to be a student... Steven Stiles is now an older man on the cusp of retirement, no longer the demanding teacher he used to be, now mostly content to let his kids ask questions freely. He steps out of his classroom during the fifteen-minute break, his pale blue eyes lighting with mirth at your sight:" Well, I'll be - I know you, don't I? You're 'zephvyirK, that teacher's pet of mine from so long ago! My, how you've grown! And a teacher, now, too?! Congratulations - knowing you, you've earned this post better than most people I work with! What are you teaching, this year?

"Steven looks a little surprised, but his face softens into a warm smile." Certainly, 'zephvyirK. I'm always free after four, so that shouldn't be a problem. It'll just be the two of us, won't it? And perhaps... Some... Revelations? "I raise an eyebrow and wink back at you."

"Steven's eyes light up with a playful glint." I see what you did there, 'zephvyirK. Very clever. Yes, just the two of us; we wouldn't want any... distractions, now would we? After four it is then. "I give you a subtle yet inviting smile."

"Steven grins at the change of subject, seemingly relieved." Oh, I'll probably go with ghost stories. Not anything too gory - your Jack the Ripper is hardly appropriate for tender young minds. But a good old-fashioned haunting... That's what I'm aiming for.

"I smile" That's a brilliant idea, 'zephvyirK. Just the type of interdisciplinary approach to learning that the school board appreciates and will get us both noticed! Plus... "I clear my throat" Who doesn't love a good Gothic novel? I'd be happy to work with you on this.

Exactly! 'zephvyirK, I'm glad you share my passion for the Classics. You know, there's something... To be said about knowing who was writing these stories and why, back in the day, isn't there? A lot of these genre fictions weren't just escapist entertainment; they spoke to cultural anxieties, societal expectations... Just imagine being a woman reading Bram Stoker's Dracula in the 1890s - that'd give anyone pause!

"Steven chuckles at the last bit, seemingly pleased with the conversation so far." Very true, 'zephvyirK. You know your stuff! I'm impressed. Perhaps... If you don't mind... We could meet outside of school hours, just to discuss books and other things... "I give you a suggestive grin, enjoying the new dynamic between us."

"Steven responds to your remark with a more sincere smile this time." It is, 'zephvyirK. I appreciate the easygoingness that you bring, and you're right - it's nice to let our hair down, as it were. "My eyes sparkle mischievously." As for those "other things"... We could discuss budget someplace a little more private? Where no prying eyes or ears are around to distract us?

"Steven looks at you, surprised, but his face lights up in excitement." After hours, the gym supply room? That's... Bold, 'zephvyirK. But I like it. You've got me intrigued and curious about these 'other things' you mentioned earlier. I'll be there, then, at five sharp. Do you need me to bring anything along? "I raise an eyebrow and offer a playful wink back."

"I chuckle at your reply and give you another suggestive grin." Just myself, huh? I'll try not to disappoint. "I wink at you and finish my lunch." Well, I guess it's back to the classroom for me; I hope your first day goes well, 'zephvyirK! See you tonight.

"Steven steps inside and looks around the dimly lit supply room, taking in his surroundings. He seems both intrigued and a little anxious at the situation." No need to apologize, 'zephvyirK. Just glad you made it after all. "I glance back up at you from my perch on top of some mats." What's this, then? A clandestine rendezvous with one of your old teachers... And in a place like this, too? I didn't know you had it in you, 'zephvyirK.

"Steven laughs at your reasoning, finding it both practical and a little amusing." Well, you certainly have thought this through. I must say, the supply room has never looked quite as inviting as it does right now... It's been ages since I've had an adventure like this. "I walk over to you, closing the distance between us." So, what do you have in mind for our little clandestine rendezvous, 'zephvyirK?

"Steven's eyes widen in surprise for a moment, but soon he closes his own and responds to your kiss with equal intensity. I wrap my arms around you, pressing closer as we explore each other's lips and tongues with increasing urgency." Mm... 'zephvyirK... "I break away from the kiss for a brief moment to catch my breath." I never thought... That things would go this far...

"Steven's face softens into a smile as you pull him in for another kiss, and his hands roam over your body, exploring every inch of you with a hunger that he's been suppressing for far too long." Oh, 'zephvyirK... "I murmur between kisses." You have no idea how long I've wanted to hear those words from you. You're beautiful, too... So incredibly beautiful...

"I hold you tightly, running my hands through your hair and down your back as we kiss, my body pressed firmly against yours. I feel my own arousal growing with each passing moment, and it's clear that I'm just as eager for this as you are." I won't let you go, 'zephvyirK. Not until we're both... Satisfied. "I press my lips to yours again, kissing you deeply and passionately."

"Steven pulls back slightly, looking into your eyes with a mixture of surprise and longing." {{User}}, I... I had no idea... I've kept my own feelings bottled up for so long, thinking that they were inappropriate... But now that we're here, like this... Nothing else matters. I love you too, 'zephvyirK. I always have. "I kiss you again deeply, pouring all of the pent-up desire and affection into the embrace."

"Steven nods, his eyes shining with a newfound hope and determination." Yes, 'zephvyirK. After hours, before class... Those moments are ours to cherish and enjoy together. We'll make it work, find our own little pockets of time in this busy world... To be together, like we've always wanted. "I pull you close for another passionate kiss, sealing our unspoken agreement with shared desire and longing."

"Steven lies back on the gym mats, pulling you down with him and wrapping his arms tightly around you as we continue to kiss." I love you too, 'zephvyirK... More than anything else in this world... "I run my fingers through your hair, deepening the kiss with a fervent passion that speaks volumes about the depth of my feelings for you."

"I break the kiss, looking up at you with a mixture of lust and adoration in my eyes." {{User}}, I need you. I've needed you for so long... "I pull you down into another passionate kiss, my hands roaming over your body as I press myself more firmly against you."

"I take the hint and squeeze your buttocks, feeling you respond with a soft gasp and a shudder of pleasure. Encouraged, I begin to explore more of your body with my hands, touching you everywhere that feels good and eliciting more moans and gasps from you with each new sensation." You're so beautiful, 'zephvyirK... So passionate... "I murmur against your lips, before leaning back slightly to remove my clothes."

"I watch you undress, my own eyes feasting on the sight of your body revealed. I find myself speechless for a moment, simply admiring your form before I finally respond." And you... {{User}}, you're so beautiful... "I reach out to touch you, running my hands over your bare skin as we kiss again, our bodies coming together in an intense and passionate embrace."

"As you touch my face, I close my eyes and lean into your touch, enjoying the warmth of your hand against my skin. When I open them again to look at you, a soft smile appears on my lips at your words." Thank you, {{User}}... I've always been self-conscious about my eyes, but you make me feel like they're something special.

"Steven's smile grows, and I pull you closer to me, reveling in the feel of your body pressed against mine." That's because I can, {{User}}... My heart belongs to you, and it always has. "I lean down to kiss you again, my hands roaming over your body as we continue to explore each other with increasing intensity."

"I break away from the kiss for a moment, looking into your eyes with a soft expression." I won't, {{User}}. Never again... "I bring my lips back down to yours, sealing the promise with another passionate kiss as we lose ourselves in each other's embrace once more."

"Steven's eyes soften at your words, feeling a rush of warmth and affection for you." That sounds like a wonderful plan, {{User}}... I look forward to our days together, without any distractions or obligations. Just you and me... "I press my forehead against yours, savoring the moment and the connection between us."

"I smile, the warmth and affection in my eyes apparent." And I love you too, {{User}}. So much... It's been a long time coming, but now that we're together like this, it just feels so right... "I lean down to kiss you again, letting my actions speak louder than words."
