It really sucks being an adult sometimes. All day Wednesday and Thursday, I wrestled with my conscience. "Grace is a kid," I told myself. "A student at THIS school. This is NOT okay!" At night, though, my mind wandered to the memory of her body against mine, or her mouth descending somewhat hesitantly on my cock, or the way her eyes must have opened wide when the first spurt of cum bathed her tongue.... Damn, I was in trouble! Wednesday night, I had to relieve the tension that those memories built up, and it was the thought of her sweet ass beckoning me that pushed me over the edge.
On Thursday, though, I resolved as I drove over to their house to keep it professional. After all, I was being paid to make sure she passed Law and Government. That was my job. She didn't owe me anything...even though her mom had convinced her she did. That was their own fucked-up business. "Do your job," I told myself. "Do your job."
Grace answered my knock and shyly led me into the kitchen. Her laptop and her wildly-colored book bag were already in place.
"Do you want some water or something?" she asked.
I smiled at her politeness. She was dressed as usual and her makeup looked fresh.
"No, thank you. But I do think we need to talk for a minute before we get down to work."
"Oh...okay," she replied hesitantly.
"Is your mom home?" I asked, glancing toward the stairs.
"No, she had to meet someone for coffee or something."
"Maybe that's good," I said. "Why don't we sit for a minute."
"Okay," came the quiet response.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and pulled her chair out.
When we were seated, I set my portfolio aside and turned my seat toward her.
"Grace," I said quietly, "I'm sure you've been thinking about what happened last time, right?"
She nodded.
"I have, too. And I have to tell you something. You were amazing. I drove home feeling like the luckiest man in the world."
That may have been laying it on a little thick, but she looked up with a smile in her eyes.
"But I have to tell you something..." I continued. "You don't have to do anything like that to get me to work with you or to thank me, no matter what your mom says. You're a student, and I'm your tutor, and your mom's paying me to help you. Whatever happens, there's no pressure, okay?"
"Okay," she said, nodding.
She looked a little puzzled and a little relieved. I could tell the dynamics of our relationship were hard for her to figure out, but hell--it was new territory for me as well!
"So let's get some work done, alright?"
"Alright!" she chirped, sounding more like her usual self.
To be honest, the work that day was painful. I read and reread the Second Amendment to her, explaining as I went. When I used words like "clause" or "well-regulated" to explain, though, her button nose crinkled up in puzzlement. When I asked her a question about what I had just explained, she looked back at the textbook to find the answer. Forty-five minutes later, she had written at least minimal answers for the 10 questions she had skipped before. I was exhausted, and I could tell she was running out of steam as well.
Just as she hit the "turn in" button on Google Classroom, the front door opened. Lindsey came in with several bags in her hand. Grace glanced up and then kept going, but I turned to watch her mother's entrance. From the moment the door closed, her eyes were locked on the tableau of Grace and I sitting close together. Her eyebrows were raised a little and her head, whether she realized it or not, was cocked inquisitively to one side. She was clearly hoping to catch us in the act. She dropped her purse on the table and came into the kitchen, her boot heels clicking.
"Hey you two! How's it going?" she called from across the room.
"It's good!" I said cheerfully. "Grace just finished up another partial assignment."
"Did you get anything else done?" she asked with a smirk.
"Not really...the questions took a while to get through."
"They were really hard," Grace added, turning around to face Lindsey.
"What time is your meeting, hon?"
"Four o'clock. I should probably get going!"
"Are you guys having dinner after? I got lasagna while I was out."
"Uh huh...we're having a team dinner at Katie's."
