A New King for Peggy Hill

Part One: Mrs. Peggy Hill, Full Time Educator
The last few weeks of my life were far more fascinating than I had been promised in my last couple months of college. Studying and volunteering in classrooms was one thing, but I was finally officially an assistant teacher. It would be a lie to say I wasn't intimidated. Especially when I realized I would be working in the classroom of Tom Landry Middle School's Substitute Teacher of the Year, three years in a row, Mrs. Peggy Hill. From the moment I laid eyes on the older married woman, and her astonishingly large feet, I knew it was gonna be a little tough. She was my type, but she was also an amazing woman, teacher, mother, and wife. I came to know and respect Peggy, so I felt a little guilty lusting over her.
It was her first year of a new teaching contract and I knew I wanted to assist her in getting tenure quickly. I worked hard with her in the class full of middle schoolers who either struggled or didn't try to pick up on Spanish at all. It was a shame, but expected when it came to a foreign language. English could be hard enough, even for natives. All the same, I think the students enjoyed class time overall with me and Mrs. Hill there, making it fun and interesting. Peggy was always so creative with her lessons, I wanted to take from her style of teaching and use it as I moved forward. But, the thought of moving on without her was becoming more difficult as time went on.
The time we spent together before, during, and after school would be cherished. We got along so well, like best friends. The days were zooming by when I spent them joking around and
playfully
flirting with my stunning head teacher. Of course, she talked a lot about her family. I knew more about her husband, Hank, than I ever wanted to. He sounded like a great guy, but he didn't deserve this enchantress. I had asked if he did anything for her in the way of foot rubs, but apparently he was lacking in that area as well as many others.
How could any man live with a woman who possessed such big feet and keep his hands off them? If it had been me, I would have rubbed her feet every day, hell multiple times a day! I jokingly offered it to her a few times, but she only laughed it off and never really answered. If only she knew how much I would be honored to even get to so much as
see
what I assumed to be long, pretty toes and soft soles.
I was getting so tired of pretending, seeing no real point in it. She was missing out on too much for way too long. It was a Friday when I decided to actually put myself out there. I would like to say it was spontaneous, but as soon as Peggy told me her husband and son would be gone for the weekend on a camping trip before she even got home, a plan started to form in my head. It was automatic and I couldn't stop myself, even if I knew how wrong it was and how weird things would become if she rejected me.
I literally couldn't resist her anymore. If this were some sort of moral test, I knew I would fail. Selfishly, I hoped Peggy would too.
After school was often relaxing. We had a good week, no real problems with any of the students, and now it was steadily raining outside. The soft taps against the big window in the classroom was enough to calm my nerves just a bit. There was casual chatter between the two of us as we cleaned and prepared the room for Monday. Mrs. Hill started changing out some of the educational posters on the walls. She did that weekly, always making new ones for the new sections in the textbook. Some might have found it extremely tacky, but it was really thoughtful. Not all teachers would take so much time out of their days, especially off the clock like she did.
"Need any help with that?" I asked after finishing my quick clean up of the floors and desks. I came to stand right behind her, possibly a little too close but, I was only making sure she didn't fall off her rickety old step stool. Stretched up on her toes, the heel of one of her black kitten heels slipped off and I saw the pretty arch in her foot. The desire to reach out and touch sinfully soft skin was almost too much. Fuck, I even wanted to press my nose against it and find out what her feet smelled like after a whole day of work, most of it spent walking around,
without
socks. Just imagining the delightful musk made my mouth water.
Such a naughty teacher. It was as if she knew exactly what she was doing to me. As my stare lingered and mind went off to dark and vulgar places, my slacks got tighter. It was kinda normal, I mean being around Mrs. Hill six hours a day and five days a week was enough to do it for me, so I simply adjusted my pants as inconspicuously as possible. Finally, Peggy got the top corner to stick in the "perfect" spot and knowing her, she had probably not even been listening to me.
Her foot was out of sight as she slipped her shoe back on and climbed down the steps. "Ho yea! That's perfect if I do say so myself," Peggy smirked as she looked up at her work with her hands on her hip. "And I do. What about you, Jaxen?" I wouldn't exactly call her work perfect. Messily painted, incorrect Spanish words and grammar, glued on cutouts of Mexican children were sliding down, and not to mention, she didn't even get it on straight.
But, that was one of many things I came to love about Mrs. Hill. Even if she was bad at something, like crafts or even the entirety of the Spanish language, if she is passionate about something, her confidence was what fueled her instead of actual talent or skill. It was both impressive and strangely inspiring. Not that the abnormal in this world had ever deterred me from what I wanted. Hell, it
