A grunt escaped Brie's lips, before she clamped them shut, breathing hard through her nose instead. Her eyes darted between the doorway across the room and the laptop in front of her. Her body was rigid, back straight, neck held high. The only part of her hinting at the sensations she was feeling was her hand, stuffed down the front of her pants, and the pant of her breath.
With each prolonged look at her screen, the puff of her breath grew quicker and the flush in her cheeks grew redder. With every sound from outside the room, her hand froze, her eyes darted up, and she let out a ragged breath. Brie was not attempting to edge herself, but given the natural sounds of the suburb intruding on her rapidly darkening living room, that was the natural effect.
Her brown eyes fixated on the screen, just long enough to grow glazed, the thrusting of her hand inside her jeans reaching a frenetic pace. She felt the flush reach down from her cheeks to her chest, and was nearly there when there came the crash of a door in the house. To Brie, it was loud as a gun. With a gasp and a squeak her hand was free, her fingers flashing to the track pad, and as her husband strolled into the room she was once again poised behind the laptop screen, posture perfect, a welcoming smile plastered on her face. Beneath the desk, her fingers wiped against her jean pants.
"Hey, what are you up to?" Martin asked, barely glancing at his wife.
"Prepping for tomorrow," Brie answered. And that was the end of it.

You would be correct to think that Brie Madison was a lustful but repressed suburban wife. Though you might be mistaken about some of the particulars. I imagine you suspect the uptight wife had opened a porn video on her laptop, and her husband had caught her bringing herself off to some explicit video unlike anything she had ever experienced, or dreamt of. Would it surprise you to know that in fact Brie had been telling her husband the truth? What she had open on her laptop, as she rubbed her clit and swollen lips, was in fact work. It was work that had nearly gotten the woman off, in a way her husband never had.
Let me explain her situation. When we join her story, Brie Madison is 34 years old, married for 12 years already, and working as a high school guidance counselor. Those facts can tell you a lot. Yes, she was married directly after college, to her college sweetheart. It won't shock you to hear they went to a Christian college. Yes, she believes in setting students on the right path. Yes, she has a big place in her heart for them all.
And yes, she just made herself cum (nearly!) while looking over her notes from work.
________________________________________
Jason Pollard was a senior student assigned to Ms. Madison. He shouldn't have been - she covered students with last names E through K - but Ms. Madison was respected by the administration and her colleagues for being able to connect with the difficult students. Jason was not only difficult behaviorally, he also was not going to graduate. And none of the counselors who had worked with him in the first three years had been able to get through his flat facade. Brie had hoped she could.
Jason simply did not care. He did not care about school. Did not seem to care about anything out of school. Did not care to share his thoughts and feelings when he was signed up for weekly counseling with Ms. Madison. Did not care what his peers thought of him. Did not care about his parents. Did not care to attend to his dress or his hygiene or how he presented to others. Did not care.
Brie Madison did. The more Jason refused to give her anything, the more she needed him to. As senior year crept on, and Jason's chances of graduating grew ever slimmer, Brie only increased her attempts at engagement, connection, and encouragement.
None of what happened next would have happened if not for this perfect storm: Brie's dogged devotion to the most recalcitrant students, a lifetime of sheltered naivete, Jason's utter indifference to the efforts of caring adults in his life, and last but not least, his truly, utterly, filthy mind.
________________________________________
Jason was an odd kid. And not really interested in counseling. Brie quickly abandoned the usual tactics and tools. He wasn't going to talk about his anxieties, and he certainly wasn't going to play Jenga. In the end she had to rely on the basics: exhibiting care, interest, and unconditional regard. He might not know what use he could make of their meetings, school, or life. But she'd give him a place to talk.
Jason would sit in the cheap wooden armchair the school supplied her with, and Brie come out from behind her desk and sit in the matching chair opposite from him. He was so against the authority figures at school and at home, she knew she had to connect more as a peer, an equal, despite their ages. And it began to work. He relaxed, grew less wary. He talked.
The trouble began with what he wanted to talk about. Their first breakthrough, the first sign that he would reveal anything to Ms. Madison came with the subject of porn. She finally got him to describe what he spent his time doing, and she immediately regretted it. Brie carefully trained her face to remain nonjudgmental. She couldn't afford to scare the boy off when he was finally talking for the first time. But it took almost everything in her.
He described it eagerly, at length, the porn he liked to watch. Brie didn't even understand the terms he would use, but she stopped asking for clarification after he explained to her in lurid detail what a DP was. He had her scent though, Jason could smell her naivete, and soon he was offering detailed explanations even as she tried to pretend she didn't need them.
She tried to change the subject, of course. Brie was a professional, an adult, an accomplished counselor. But Jason was not like any of her other students.
It was the only thing he would talk about. If she insisted on asking about something else, or gave him no response to work with, he clammed up. If the session ended with that stony silence, he would not show up the next meeting. Her supervisor would ask about him, Brie would awkwardly talk about the difficulty of engagement, and she would be encouraged to reach out again.
And when she did, he would smile and tell her about his sexual fantasies.
Brie pressed on, carefully controlling her reaction, giving him space to talk, affirming that it was normal to have sexual interests, constantly suggesting other topics, but not resisting where he steered. But the conversations began to build up inside of her. Session after session of shocking, provocative, disturbing content she couldn't share with anyone. She tried to hint at the problem with her supervisor, but between her own embarrassment and Marjorie's impatience with the "Jason problem" she gave up.
