=====================
The woman walked down the hall with a confident, easy stride despite the high heels. The sundress was short enough to show off her long, toned legs as she came down the hall. Cinderblocks of white surrounded her, broken only by a single wide stripe of green down the middle that did nothing to break up the harshness of the fluorescent lights. Her heels echoed as she looked at the room numbers trying to locate the one she needed.
Ms. Jensen had gotten up to stretch her legs before her last parent conference and casually stepped into the doorway hearing the approaching woman and deciding to greet her. The young teacher took one look at the woman and ducked back into her room.
No, no, no, this couldn't be happening, the teacher thought. Please just let her walk by. She might not be coming here. Her fears were realized, however, when the woman stepped through the door and stopped suddenly, her eyes locking onto the shorter blonde woman with her hair up in a bun.
The two just looked at each other for a long few seconds. The new arrival was tall, almost six feet, with a perfect figure that spoke of long hours at the gym. Her dark brown hair with blonde highlights fell loosely over her shoulders to curl in at the ends like arrows pointing at the ample cleavage on display there. She took off her sunglasses and smiled devilishly down at the smaller woman.
Ms. Ashleigh Jensen had stopped breathing, her mouth falling open. She stood there in her loose white buttondown and gray slacks no longer able to form words.
The taller woman broke the ice.
"Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise," she said. "So you are Erica's French teacher?"
Ashleigh's mind struggled. That was a question. To her. The young teacher's two worlds collided in her head and warred with how to respond.
"Y..yes...," then a long pause. "Mistress."
In the end, she fell back onto what would be the easiest, back on her training that this very woman had instilled. Her head bowed and she looked down at her feet.
Her Mistress was right here in her classroom. Ms. Jensen's emotions were all over the place and jumping from being mortified to being aroused. She had fantasized about being dominated at school but had always relegated that to the category of 'never going to happen.' It was way too risky and would require an incredible circumstance to even be possible. Now, her Mistress, the woman who had fulfilled so many of her darkest, secret desires, was standing in front of her in Ashleigh's classroom.
"P..please close the door and lock it, m...ma'am," Ms. Jensen requested meekly.
The dark-haired woman looked back at the open door and then returned her gaze to the teacher. Her head cocked to the side and she put her hands on her hips.
"Really?" she asked, incredulous. She stepped closer and lifted the teacher's chin to look up at her. "You greedy little slut."
Ashleigh felt the warmth between her legs increase at the woman's touch and humiliating words.
"I'm here to talk about my daughter and you're expecting a session?"
Her words stung and Ashleigh suddenly realized how presumptuous she was acting.
"No, ma'am, I mean, yes, I'm sorry,... Mistress," she fumbled.
The hand holding her chin flung it to the side in disgust as the woman walked past the small blonde and took a seat facing the teacher's desk that had clearly been put there for these conferences. She crossed her legs and arms.
"Today I am Ms. Peters, understand? And I'm here to find out what is going on with my daughter," the woman announced to Ashleigh's back.
The young teacher did her best to reset her mental role and turned around. Seeing her Mistress sitting in the parent's chair, made her feel uneasy. The chairs were situated in front of the desk partially to put the teacher into the dominant spot behind the desk. That dynamic just felt wrong right now, so she pulled the second chair over and sat, not behind her desk, but beside and slightly facing the older woman. She put her shoulders back, folded her hands in her lap, and reminded herself that this was just one of her student's parents.
"Ms. Peters, th..thank you for coming to speak with me," Ms. Jensen began, attempting to get into her usual routine. "I know your time is valuable so I will be as brief as possible."
Ashleigh tried to look her Mistress in the eyes but it only lasted a second. Instead, she looked at the woman's lips and just barreled on.
"Erica has been getting consistent fours and fives on assessments all year but in this last semester she has stopped turning in work and her test scores are suffering as a result."
Ashleigh paused expecting Ms. Peters to ask some question or make a comment at this revelation. She just sat there.
"It...could be just a lack of motivation that happens in their Upper 6th. Once kids get this close to finishing and are legally adults they often start slacking off on their work," the teacher continued. "If she doesn't get back on track, it could jeopardize her grade and could even result in her failing the class."
"I see," Ms. Peters replied looking pensive.
She uncrossed her legs and arms, folding her hands on her lap matching the teacher's posture.
"When I spoke to her about this," Ashleigh went on, "she was...dismissive." In truth, the headstrong eighteen-year-old had loudly said something about no one caring about French and that she would never need it.
"Of course she was," the woman said derisively. Apparently, her daughter's attitude was not a surprise. "What do you suggest I do to correct the problem?"
"Well, uh, you could start by trying to impress on her the importance of finishing the year strong in order to pass her final examination. Beyond that," Ashleigh continued, "I'm afraid that she is getting far enough behind that she may need tutoring to catch up."
The parent got a thoughtful look and smirked.
"Brilliant," the brunette smiled. "I will talk with her and you will tutor her."
The teacher's eyes went wide and she blinked several times.
"Uh, n...," she almost said 'no' then switched gears. "I don't do tutoring, M..Ms. Peters but I can find a good set of possible ones for Erica."
"How much?" The Mistress asked crossing her legs again.
"Excuse me?"
"How much would it cost for you to tutor my daughter?" the woman clarified.
That was not something she wanted to do regardless of the money so she decided to inflate the sum to an amount she felt would be rejected.
"Oh, um, a certified teacher in the subject area can ask seventy-five to a hundred pounds per hour," she replied.
It was not quite a lie. She might could ask that but it was stretching the sixty to seventy-pound average. The older woman's smile broadened.
"How about this?" she began. "I will trade you one-for-one. One hour of tutoring for one hour of my...services."
Ashleigh's eyes went wide and her mouth opened briefly before she regained control and closed it. She wasn't sure what a professional dominatrix could ask per hour but she was certain it was in the hundreds. As far as she knew, Ms. Peters wasn't a professional but she probably could be if it was something she wanted. In that moment, memories of her interactions with this woman came flooding back.
Ashleigh had been nineteen at the time and just beginning to come to grips with her desire for women and her need to be controlled. She had gone onto a website that catered to connecting people with similar fetishes and found a kindred spirit in Elizabeth, Liz, Peters. They met at a coffee shop in London and began a year-long relationship.
In that time, Ashleigh learned all about what it meant to be a submissive to a conscientious but demanding Mistress. The older woman took her from being a naive, questioning university student to a well-trained sex slave.
The student teacher would have gladly continued that relationship but Mistress Liz had ended it. The older woman had said that it was for personal family reasons but Ashleigh never knew what those were or if that was even the truth.
Three years had passed since their parting and Ashleigh had failed to find anyone else to take Liz's place. Even though she missed that relationship desperately, she hadn't searched that hard. As a teacher, there was some risk in having a kink that polite society deemed objectionable even if it was completely private between consenting adults. If it ever got out, no matter what people said about protecting personal privacy, it could mean her career.
But she missed it so, so much! The offer to rekindle that relationship was too much to pass up. She would be careful and she trusted Liz without question. She had never done anything to put Ashleigh in any danger that she had not agreed to.
"Well, pet?" the brunette's voice brought Ms. Jensen out of her musings abruptly. "Is it a deal?"
The look on the woman's face said that she already knew what the answer would be and just needed Ashleigh to make it official.
