Teacher's Affair
"I'll be back home in a few hours," I called out to my husband.
"Where are you headed now," he complained.
"The ladies at church are getting together for a dinner and silent auction," I reminded him.
He just grunted his general indifference as I walked out the front door.
I exhaled deeply as I sat behind the wheel of my car. I felt guilty lying to my husband about my exploits. I still went to church weekly, but he stopped going years ago, and as far as he knew, I had recently become much more involved in church activities.
The dress I wore was blue and knee length with thick shoulder straps. It looked perfectly appropriate for church, so it wouldn't raise any alarms with my husband, although what I wore underneath was decidedly unholy. My stockings were thigh high, not pantyhose, and they were clipped to a garter belt to hold them up.
My should length brown hair was tied back in a simple ponytail, and I pushed my glasses back up to the bridge of my nose. I stopped at a parking lot to fix my make up in the mirror. I had only applied a light touch at home, just enough to erase the lines creeping into my face and not raise any questions why I was dolling myself up for a church function.
But now I applied extra eyeliner, blush, and lipstick before I headed back out on the road. My pulse was racing as I drove to a nearby townhouse community. I parked in one of the visitor spaces and checked myself in the mirror one last time and then stared at the front door of my destination three houses down.
I stepped out of the car and began walking.
"Hi Mrs. Suffolk. What are you doing in this neighborhood? Do you live here?" a young cheerful voice called out.
I froze as I immediately recognized the voice. I slowly turned around and saw one of my students, Francine, looking at me with doe eyes.
I took a second and composed myself, my mind searching for any excuse, before responding.
"Mitchell lives here, right?" I nervously asked, my hand pointing to the townhouse two doors down.
"Yeah, he does. Do you know his parents?" she inquired.
"Yes," I lied. "He's the star quarterback, so he's got to keep up his grades to maintain his athletic eligibility, and they asked me to do some extra tutoring for him."
"Oh yes, our team is on track for the playoffs, and we'd be screwed if he couldn't play," she realized.
"Exactly," I said as I breathed a huge sigh of relief as Francine seemingly bought into my ruse.
"Well, I'll see you in class tomorrow, Mrs. Suffolk," Francine said as she turned around and began walking away.
I felt both exhausted and exhilarated by the close call. Francine was an 18 year old senior in my second period English Literature high school class, just like Mitchell, and seeing her in that moment almost made me turn around and head back home. I wondered if Francine somehow knew that Mitchell's parents weren't home and that I'd be alone in the house with him? Or what if she innocently mentioned to them later on that I stopped by to visit? I couldn't risk my career and life over an affair, but I was already so close to my destination that I couldn't stop now.
I hurried up the front steps to Mitchell's townhouse and rang the doorbell. I snuck a glance behind me, thankful to see that Francine had turned the corner and was out of sight.
A few seconds later, Mitchell opened the door, standing there with a wide grin on his face.
He motioned for me to hurry in, and I was relieved to step out of public view as he closed the door behind me.
I felt a chill as I looked around. I had stepped into a living room, and I noticed the dining room and kitchen farther back on the first floor. To my right was a coat closet and stairs leading up to the bedrooms. A tv played softly in the living room, but otherwise there was an almost eerie silence.
"There's no one else here, right?" I asked cautiously.
"No, my parents are at some charity dinner for their church. They said they wouldn't be back for at least 3 hours." The irony of them being at a church charity dinner, which was my excuse to my husband for being out of the house, wasn't lost on me.
I saw a family picture hanging on the wall, and I remembered meeting them at parent-teacher night at the start of the school year few months ago, although they were just one set in an endless sea of parents who flooded through my classroom that evening. They looked to be about the same age as me, or maybe a few years older than my 41 years.
Then I felt Mitchell's hand on my bare arm, and shivers went up and down my spine.
I felt his breath on the back of my neck as he whispered, "You seem nervous. This is what you wanted, isn't it?"
His hand pushed lightly on my arm, and I turned around to face him. His 6'2" body towered over me and my 5'4" frame, and I had to tilt my head up to look him in the eyes. I felt so diminutive standing next to him. His short blonde hair and blue eyes were mesmerizing, and I fell under his spell, the same spell he seemingly cast over the whole school.
He was the big man on campus, and everyone knew it, an all-city quarterback with several D1 scholarship offers. I saw the girls sneaking glances at him in class, and the boys all either wanted to be his friend or were jealous of him.
"I saw Francine talking to you outside," Mitchell remarked as his large hand cupped my cheek. "She didn't give you any trouble, did she?"
"No, I just told her I was here to tutor you," I meekly replied.
He chuckled, "Tutoring, is that what you call it?"
That seemed to break the ice, and I laughed along with him as I looked down at his strong chest and arms. Then he put a finger on my chin and tilted my head back up as he leaned down and gave me a kiss. My lips parted, and our tongues touched lightly as his hands reached around and felt up my ass.
