Rachel knew that her carelessness would be her undoing - it always was, and had been at several previous schools; her inability to keep her legs closed and dress conservatively. And why should she after all? She was 27 and gorgeous; slim, full-figured, with beautiful round breasts and a firm backside, her eyes blue and her hair naturally blonde and accented only a little with highlights. So what if she wore skirts above the knee, or sheer white silk blouses that showed off the lacy black bra underneath? So what if she wore make-up, that men desired her? This was the 21st century, and she was not a nun.
Sometimes it had been affairs with staff, sometimes with ex-pupils - never any underage, always consensual, never a current pupil - she did not want to be arrested - but there had always been enough of a doubt that other teachers had talked, given her suspicious glances, headmasters or mistresses had told her that they were having to make economies, that her contract would not be renewed. They would give her a good reference of course, but...
After a while, no matter what the references were like, her CV had begun to speak for itself - too many moves, too many enforced departures - it had become abundantly clear to any head teacher reading it that she was trouble. The pool of jobs had started to shrink. Finally she had ended up at Greenward, a London inner city sink school only one Ofsted report away from Special Measures. That being the case, she really should have been more careful what she did with her laptop, and leaving it in her English remedial class was just asking for trouble, really. These were not even boys - they were young men, 18 year-olds, who the government had decided in their infinite wisdom could not finish formal schooling until they had gained a pass in both GCSE Maths and English. There was little chance of that, and so they had been kept on, resentful, after they had failed their exams at age 16, and again at 17, and now they were going to fail them again at age 18...
It wasn't until lunchtime that she missed her laptop. Her body went cold as she tried to mentally retrace her steps that morning. By the time she flew, flustered and red-faced, into the classroom where she had left it, there was nothing but a handful of smirking 18-year old young black men lounging around, tall, long-limbed, powerful and arrogant. There was a faint smell of weed in the air.
"Wassup Miss? You lost somethin?" grinned Errol Walker, the tallest and most 'alpha male' of the boys.
"I... I think I left my computer here," Rachel said. "Did anyone see it?"
"Was it the one with all the bondage porn on it?" Errol asked innocently. "Nah, I don't think I seen that."
"Maybe someone gonna hand it in to the head, though, is it?" said Jason Yakubu, Errol's best friend and a thin, rangy youth.
"Please, Errol, Jason," she stammered desperately, feeling a terrible sinking sensation in the pit of her stomach. "Just give it back to me and we'll say no more about it, I promise." She tried to think what had been on there... Rachel's porn collection was extensive and occupied more than the 120GB that her laptop could contain, so there were only ever a few choice items on there, although her collection of stories was no doubt there in full, and they only needed to open Chrome to find the bookmarks to sites she didn't even want to think about right now.
"Is you a kinky bitch, then Miss?" asked Jason. "You really like all that stuff? That is well wicked!"
"I'm not going to discuss this," she said firmly. "You will hand it over, or I am going to go to the police."
"I don't think so though," said Errol, confidently. "Cause then they might find out you been bringing a computer to school with all your nasty filth on it, innit? You be like arrested an all for corrupting us an shit. But maybe..." he tried to look cool, "maybe there's a way you might get it back..."
Rachel knew full well what was coming next. She flushed with embarrassment, but there was also a part of her that was finding this situation quite a turn-on.
"Go on," she said quietly.
"You is gonna do all of the dirty things that is on them videos, Miss," Errol told her, "only you is gonna do them for us, for real."
Rachel closed her eyes and let out a shuddering breath, her mind racing. She was trapped and she knew it. This time there would be no dismissal, no references, nothing to protect her from the tabloids, the police. She would be looking at jail time, and an end to her teaching career. To her life. There was only one choice to make.
"Very well," she sighed. "When?"
