The first time Alex tasted James there was nothing sexual about it at all.
"No, no, no! That phrase is supposed to flow through the notes. Make the line sing. Look, like this."
At that, James took the clarinet from Alex and began to play the principal theme from the slow movement. She could hear the difference clearly. As he played, the notes stopped being individual sounds, but took their proper places in a song of exquisite beauty. The phrase lifted, held, and then dived down the register. She felt herself hold her breath on the long penultimate note, and then sigh with regret as the passage ended.
He was her clarinet teacher, and he made the instrument come alive as he played. He wasn't playing music; he was working magic, playing on her emotions through the medium of a work composed nearly a hundred years previously.
He handed back the instrument, and as she slipped the mouthpiece between her lips – tasted him as if for the first time. Just before she attempted to recreate the soaring lines of melody she thought to herself;
"I wonder what it would be like to be kissed by him."
Alex was in the sixth form of a girls' grammar school. She had turned 18 on October 12th, two weeks previously, and was working hard at her A'levels along with clarinet, guitar and piano.
She was very bright, hard working and liked by everyone. She was expressive in her manner, her brown eyes dancing with delight as she teased one of her friends; her dark shoulder length hair glistening when she threw back her head to laugh. When she smiled, her white teeth peeped shyly through her full lips.
She didn't make any effort to show off her figure, (unlike some of the girls in her school), but it would have been hard to hide the lush curves of her full breasts or her slim waist over her swelling hips. At 5 foot 4', though, she didn't have the stunning looks of her more glamorous class mates, and so she just thought of herself as ok, rather than sexy.
She was so focused on work and activities that boyfriends had largely been a non event. One or too had managed to persuade her to go out with them to the cinema or a drink at the pub. At close quarters, though, she found the boys of her own age rather shallow and boring.
That wasn't to say she didn't have a sex life in her head. There had been the teenage crush on a hunky teacher only two years previously, but she had kept that very much to herself. Lately, however, she had begun to realize that although all the boys of her own age, (and quite a lot of the adults), had a tendency to look at her chest and talk nonsense to her, there were some who treated her like an intelligent person with a mind of her own. In her fantasies, it was these men, even though somewhat older, who she was starting to associate with her growing feelings of sexual desire.
She imagined scenes of romantic dinners where they talked about themselves and the world. They went for walks in the country, and watched plays at the theatre. And she imagined kissing them, caressing them, and being opened and possessed by them. And it was here that she was discovering a darker more thrilling side to herself. These men were all gentlemen, and treated her with courtesy and respect, but sometimes she found herself seeing them become more aggressive, more dominant, more demanding.
As she lay in bed at night, gently toying with the sensitive folds of her moistening sex, she would imagine them tying her up, spanking her as she wept and pleaded (but not enough to make them stop), and then feeling their hard cocks slide into her open mouth or her very wet cunt. She was their bad girl, their sex slave, their slut who wanted and needed be used and filled by them. She wanted them to teach her how to please them in every way they wanted. As she fantasized being made to kneel on the bed like a dog so that this older man could fuck her and spunk in her clenching pussy, she would grit her teeth to hold back her moans as she climaxed on her busy fingers.
And then, she would lock away the images like a secret diary, buried in the recesses of her mind, and resume the role of the bright, intelligent, innocent school girl.
James had only been her clarinet teacher for a couple of months. He was in his late 40s. Always a musician, he had nearly become a professional performer. When that had proved an impossible dream, he had opted for teaching instead, and deputizing for orchestras in the provinces. He had a reputation for being a bit of a perfectionist, someone who would work at a piece of music until it wasn't just played right, but until it couldn't be played wrong.
And yet, despite his focus and his commitment to the playing, he always seemed to remain friends with his pupils. His energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and for him they would work that bit harder, even being known to practice at home. He had been married once, but as for so many musicians, the marriage had foundered on the reefs of long absences and late nights playing concerts in out of the way locations. She had moved in with a work colleague and was last seen happily pregnant and settled.
Not that James had remained celibate by any means. There had been flings with a couple orchestral musicians – both string players. Andrea, the double bass player had been quiet and gentle until that first night in bed. Then she had exhibited a wild and frantic side to sex that was a revelation to James. With her he had learned about bondage, role play and all the wonderful ways of the Dominant/Submissive relationship. Between them they had quickly established that Andrea was most definitely happier being a submissive, and James had a talent for devising scenes that played perfectly to her desires. As for him, he was at first concerned, and then delighted to discover the extra charge that there was in being the master of a willing sex slave.
That had all come to an end about five years previously when she had left to take a very lucrative position at a city orchestra in Austria. And yet, even now, when he was feeling down, he would remember various erotic scenes. His favorite was of her, clad only in stockings, suspenders and high heels, lying face down, spread eagled on the bed. Her arms and ankles were tied to the bed posts with silk scarves. Her incredibly tight arse was raised in the air by three pillows stuffed under her, and he had spent nearly an hour spanking her and masturbating her until she was hoarse from screaming in pain and pleasure, and begging him to
"shove your fucking thick cock up my virgin ass and fill me with your spunk."
He had done just that, having prepared the tight entrance before hand with liberal amounts of baby oil, and she had cum three more times before he had finally unloaded himself into her bowels.
