I taught school for 26 years, various ages at different times, ending up at the high school level. Then my husband of 35 years suffered a heart attack in August, right before the start of the school year. I hurriedly put in for a year's leave of absence. One part of me thought the distraction would be good for me, but I didn't have the energy to go. The next summer, the school board offered me money to take early retirement and I took it gladly.
One Saturday afternoon in early fall; I was walking out of the grocery store when I spied a thin, dirty young man sitting on a bench. He looked like he was waiting for a cab or something, on closer look, I recognized Derek, a former student from some years back.
"Derek, is that you? I haven't seen you in a long time!"
"Mrs. M, how good to see you."
"I'm surprised you remember me, Derek. How many years has it been, 4 or 5?"
"Well, I just turned 21." We stood there smiling at each other. I started to turn and walk away but paused. "Are you waiting for a ride?"
"No, I just talked to the store manager. I'm trying to get a job but I got involved with the wrong crowd awhile back and had to do some time for petty theft. No one wants to hire a kid just out of jail."
By this time, we were walking toward my car. I opened the trunk and he helped me load the groceries into it. I shut the trunk, and was walking around to the car door when I stopped. "I have roast beef in the crock pot at home, and I'm getting pretty tired of eating alone, would you like to come to my house for supper?"
He looked like he was about to cry, but then the defensive look came over his face. "No, I'm all right." I said, "Derek, I'm not asking anything from you, I'm just going to feed you."
"Well, ok." He tried to make a show of being reluctant to get into my car, but I've been around kids too long to take it seriously. I've always trusted Derek, and he's one kid I wouldn't worry about taking to my home.
We drove in silence for a while. "I hope you got away from the kids who were getting into trouble."
"Yeah, I had a lot of time for thinking the past year. I can see it was their influence that got me into that mess."
"How are your mother and your sister?" He bristled at this question, but when I'd known him, I also knew his mother was a raggedly alcoholic who worked in a bar, and stayed there long hours even when not working. Derek had been the one to take care of his little sister, Susan. They were not abused, but in my opinion, sorely neglected. He raised himself and then helped raise Susan as well. I used to watch him waiting at the corner for her bus, and then walk her home. He took care of her in the evenings, made supper, and tucked her into bed at night. He finally said, "I guess they're all right. I haven't seen Mom in quite awhile, and Susan married her old boyfriend. They moved to Ohio where he had a job waiting for him." I said, "Then she's ok now?"
"Yes, she's doing fine."
We were almost to my house. I said, "Were you ever involved in drugs?"
He said, "Mrs. M, I couldn't. I had to take care of Susan." Yes, I would expect that of him.
Once we got to my house, he helped bring the bags into the house. "Man! You sure but a lot of food! I thought you live alone."
"I do, but I hate shopping, so I buy enough for about a month, so I don't have to go back very often."
"Makes sense to me." While I was putting the groceries away, I said, "You can walk around and check out the house while I'm finishing potatoes and the rest of supper. He looked up quietly and said, "Could I take a bath?" I smiled. "I was hoping you'd do that. Put your dirty clothes on the floor right outside the door and I'll find something you can put on."
I peeled potatoes and put vegetables on to boil, then walked down the hall after I heard the water in the tub quit. I found an old Beatles tee shirt that was a man's large. Large tee shirts are my favorite things to sleep in, if I sleep in anything at all. I picked up the pile of dirty clothes he'd put on the floor, and left the clean tee shirt. I was thinking, I'm sorry I don't keep men's underwear in my house. Well, maybe I won't be Too Sorry. Then was kind of ashamed of myself for thinking those thoughts about a former student. I have never really thought sexually about young men. I've always been interested in older men, such as my husband. But then reminded myself I am no longer teaching in the school district, Derek isn't my student, and he is an adult.
I involved myself with mashing potatoes, making gravy, setting the table. He must've slipped into a chair behind my back. The house was quiet except for the washing machine humming in the background. He said quietly, "Thanks for bringing me into your house." I said, "Derek, I have always felt close to you. You are one of the few kids I really trust."
"Gee, thanks!" He seemed amazed, and that's as much a show of appreciation I expected from him.
After supper he helped me clean up, somehow forgetting he had no under shorts on. The tee just barely touched the top of his cock. And for some reason, (though I was trying not to look, I couldn't really help it) it was hard and trying to poke out from under the tee shirt. I was trying to be cool and acted like I didn't notice. He was trying to be cool as well, acting like he didn't notice me noticing him!
Later, I took a bath, and just put on a robe. I joined him in the living room, where he was watching TV. I picked up a book but couldn't really get into it. We were both sitting on the couch, and he suddenly turned to me and said, "It seems so weird to be sitting here with you like this. You are the nicest person I know." I said, "That's nice to hear. You always seemed to be so lonely. I found myself wishing I could do something to help you or get close to you."
"Well, you're close to me now." and he just reached his arm around me, pulled me close and gave me a fantastic kiss. I don't know what I expected, but it sure wasn't this. Somehow, though, it seemed perfectly natural and I found myself really enjoying it.
Of course I only had a robe on, and it was easily falling loosely from my shoulders, my breasts were hanging freely, and in plain view. He touched my nipple gingerly and it felt wonderful. My body hasn't had any kind of attention from another human being in quite some time. I stood up, reached for the remote and clicked the TV off, and the light, and led him down the hall to my bedroom.
I guess I shouldn't sound so surprised, but as a lover, he was amazingly attentive, and respective. But he was also as much in need of the human sexual closeness as I was. We fucked hard and fast the first time, and then slow and more measured another time. Lying in bed in the magical moment afterward, when he was holding me in his arms and asking what are my preferences in sex, and I said, just this, nothing more. I said what's yours? He said he always wanted an older woman to punish him. I said you aren't in need of punishing from what I know of your life, you're very responsible. He said, "Yeah, I know, but sometimes I just wish someone would care enough about me to..".... He left it at that, but suddenly I felt like a mind reader! "You want a spanking."
"Yes."
I said, I think I know just the thing. I got up and used the bathroom, then went to the top shelf in my closet.
I turned back to the bed still naked and holding a long, sturdy wooden paddle that had indeed come from the old school before we had to quit paddling students. "Roll over on your stomach." I thought he'd chicken out or protest, but he just quietly did that, folded his arms under the pillow. I knelt on the bed next to him, grasped the handle of the paddle firmly and without really think much about it except that he'd asked me for it so sincerely: Whack! It was louder than I though it would be. I waited only a second in case he did protest or change his mind; but he didn't. Whack! Still no protest, so I just started beating his ass hard with the paddle.
