They were alone together one night, Shari and Velma, laughing and enjoying each other's company. They shared kisses and secrets, growing the bond between student and her former teacher. Safe in the shroud of diffuse light from the nightstand, shadows cast against the wall melded together, undulating and swaying hypnotically while they stood there beside the bed in the room they shared since their "marriage" was, at long last, consummated a few months earlier. The wordless language of love was spoken freely here, though in bursts. An errant gasp told Velma she was on the right track when her mouth made contact with Shari's graceful neck. She tenderly brushed aside the torrent of light blond locks, kissing her sweet young wife, this girl who was once her student.
Velma Blount's thin lips stretched wide in a conspiratorial smile as she watched the luster of Shari's satin robe part like the shimmering waves of a wine colored sea. In a quiet swish, the garment slipped away and disappeared in the darkness somewhere. Shari stared back at the tall butch woman. The thick eyebrows, hollow cheeks and lines etched deeply in the weathered face staring back at her looked alarming to most people. But Shari wasn't fazed. She was lost in her lover's hoary blue eyes. College classes, her part-time job, and her friends all faded away in that frosty gaze. All that remained, and all that mattered now, were the secrets she and Velma were about to share.
In this moment, between heartfelt kisses and solemn vows of love, Shari Keefer felt like she's known Velma forever. It wasn't so long ago when the now 21 year old Blake College student was cowed by the formidable presence of Miss Velma Blount. She attended, and graduated, from Talcott High School. Miss Blount was her gym teacher. The formidable woman towered over her students at an intimidating 6'2". She was arguably one of the most respected teachers, not just in the building, but the entire district. Miss Blount had a presence about her that commanded respect in most and instilled fear in others.
And Shari Keefer was drawn to her, although she wasn't at first. The locker rooms, gym, playing fields and tennis courts were little fiefdoms. Miss Blount was the tyrant, ruling these spaces with an iron fist. Like calisthenics, every gym class was conducted with militaristic precision. Old Miss Blount stood, grim sentinel that she was, clipboard in hand, watching Shari and her classmates file into the gym from the locker room. The towering gym teacher blew the whistle that always dangled from the lanyard around her neck (besides a wristwatch, it was the only jewelry she ever wore).
Thweeeeeeeet!
"Late again, Keefer!" Miss Blount snarled. "What's your excuse this time?"
The 19 year old senior shrugged and flashed a winsome smile at the dour woman. A ripple of nervous giggles and laughter erupted from a couple girls standing nearby. "Geez, Miss Blount, I--"
"You know what, Keefer, just CAN IT!" Miss Blount snapped. "I don't want to hear it!" The prodigious woman let out an exasperated sigh. The short, blunt locks of her bowl cut shimmied as she furiously scribbled something into her grade book. Her hair, the color of light sand, distracted Shari while she looked on. The style made her look more severe; more butch. Her classmates thought it looked stupid, and would loudly say so from time to time. Usually in the safe chaos of the halls or the cafeteria during lunch, away from the earshot of any nosy teachers.
"What are you writing? I just dropped my bracelet on the stairs and I realized I had to go to the bathroom!" The laughter was contagious. It spread quickly, bouncing off the glazed brick walls and polished wood floor.
Thweeeeeeeet!
"Okay, ladies, that's ENOUGH!" Miss Blount bellowed. "Ten laps, Keefer, and if you give me any more lip, I'll add a couple dozen pushups to get my point across!" Shari's mouth fell open. She was about to say something when the whistle pierced her eardrums again. "HUSTLE!"
"Ol' Miss Blount had about enough of you to last a lifetime, girl!" Adele Hopson shouted. The slender, sable-skinned senior laughed and held up her middle finger to Miss Blount's back, provoking another outburst of laughter. "What--I didn't do anything!" She protested before muttering: "You ol' ugly white bulldyke bitch!" More howls of laughter echoed through the gym, but Shari wasn't paying any attention. She'd already started her laps.
It was during times like these when Shari found herself stealing glimpses of her gym teacher. Sometimes those glimpses were brief. Other times, the glimpses developed into outright stares provoked by an intense mixture of fascination and disgust over her teacher's unusual appearance. Miss Blount wasn't just masculine; she was downright homely! And she was old, although, at the time, Shari wasn't sure of her age. Plenty of her classmates' parents attended Talcott as teenagers and said she was a teacher back then.
Over several months, they developed a rapport. It wasn't intentional, and at first, it started out fairly casual. Shari already had a habit of coming to class late or "forgetting" to put on her gym suit. The waist-hugging one piece suit with elastic leg shorts was made for modesty; the bane of every teenage girl trying to catch the eye of any cute guys passing by. She was supposed to keep it in her locker and take it home to wash it at the end of each week. But she'd forget and plead for lenience and this would always end up with Shari having to complete a make-up session running laps in the gym during lunch or after school to avoid turning a B- or C+ into a D or E.
Back in the present, Shari felt a sudden bloom of heat in her cheeks when she felt Velma's hand against her face. "You've been awful quiet since dinner." The older woman observed. "Still a little shy too. Something on your mind?" The bedroom was dark, but the light cast from the hallway that shone in a long thin ribbon was enough to see the bashful little grin on the girl's face. It was faint, but it was there. Shari shook her head and said: "Just thinking."
"Hmm, I can just imagine..." Velma replied. "You'll have to tell me all about it later."
"Nah, it's a secret!" Shari softly teased.
"Then I'll just have to draw it out of you, Keefer!" Velma held Shari, embracing her, and leaned in close for a second or two, before kissing her. Caught off-guard, the girl's lips parted, sucking in a shallow gulp of air. Their lips brushed together and their mouths made contact. The young beauty's eyes widened in shock when Velma slipped her tongue inside. Her eyes slowly closed and she let out a sigh, aware of the vibrant tingling sensation tickling the space between her legs. The sensation grew stronger, spreading with each kiss they shared. Another sensation, like vertigo, took over when she felt the large strong palm of Velma's hand snaking against her thigh and the curve of her shapely little hips.
"What are you doing?"
Velma broke the kiss and firmly nudged the girl a little closer to the bed. "Just admiring the view, honey." She said, eyes flashing with a ravenous glint in the dim light. The slim giantess loomed over Shari. She looked hungry, like she hadn't eaten for days. Velma had a busy week since she'd recently taken on a student teacher from Lake Forest College for the semester. Shari's week was equally hectic. She'd been working on a research paper for her class in Educational Philosophy, and she had a test on Monday in her Principals of Advanced Statistics class. Both agreed they were due for a quiet night in with dinner at home. Shari decided she wanted to surprise Velma tonight; knock her socks off. She knew it would be well received.
After dinner, Velma settled on the sofa in front of the TV. As usual, she had a beer in her hand while she watched Carol Burnett bellowing out her trademark Tarzan call for the nth time. She rolled her eyes and started to get up to change the channel when Shari blocked the screen. "Hoo, boy...I take it that's for me!" She gushed before taking an almost too big gulp of her beer.
Now, in the shroud of darkness, Shari stood there in Velma's arms. The towering slim butch took in the sight of her young wife's elegant negligee. The long lacy and silken gown with its plunging neckline and barely there straps teased the sensuous swell of her breasts and left little to the imagination. Not that Velma minded. The old dyke's salacious gaze was drawn to the little lace panties underneath the gossamer fabric. "Unghh!" The captive girl gasped when she felt the palm of her lover's hands caressing her, stroking her. The tingling bubbled up. A swath of goosebumps prickled Shari's skin. She felt so vulnerable and exposed! And the more she got to know Miss Blount when she was still in high school, it was a feeling she began to crave...
"Hold me..." Shari sighed, realizing her mind and body were back in the present again. "I'll go nice and slow, honey." Velma reassured her young wife. The lovers kissed once more. Their tongues cavorted in a lazy tango as their bodies swayed to the phantom melody of an imagined love song. Shari put her arms around the butch woman's neck and swayed her hips seductively, staring into her eyes. The long, free-flowing skirt of her negligee swung tantalizingly outward from side to side. The old dyke glanced down, eyes fixed on the curves of her young wife's diminutive frame. "Those panties are gonna have to go...now!"
Velma liked to undress Shari slowly. Savor the moment. The girl's panties always came last, sliding effortlessly over her shapely hips and down her slender legs after the negligee had been tossed aside. "God, you're so beautiful!" Velma's voice seethed. There was an overt breathlessness in her voice. Her hoary blue eyes stared through the darkness in silent awe, gliding listlessly along the girl's tight little curves. The enormous palms of her hands did the same, registering youthful nudity and silky smooth skin. She drank it all in; gulping it as greedily as her after dinner beer.
