*Author's note* Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to review or email me their comments. And to the person who recently (30th September) sent an email regarding a mafia leader, I'm glad we were thinking along the same lines! I have a few ideas for more stories involving Angel in the future. Cheers!
All of the shit that Sean had ever been through was worth it just to be able to experience this moment of his life. Lisa Harrison had been a teacher in his school during his final year. He was head over heels in lust with her from the second he first saw her, but they didn't get on. She had only been a little older than his eighteen years, but acted as if she had the right to tell him how to live his life.
She hadn't approved of his extracurricular activities; dealing and getting into fights apparently wasn't on her list of top priorities. She'd done her absolute best to make his life as difficult as possible, to the point where he eventually got expelled from school for the final time and was forced to take a stint in the Marines to avoid extended jail time. So she wasn't his favourite person in the whole wide world.
Which was why this moment was so fucking sweet.
The last time he'd seen her had been in court. She'd stood there looking all fucking demure as she gave her βaccount' of what had happened between them earlier. The anger still burned like it was fresh every time he thought of it. He'd done a lot of things in his life, but he had never raped a girl. And present company excluded of course, he never intended to.
He would have accepted doing time for a crime that he had actually committed; there were sure as hell enough of those. But to be sent to the Marines for attempted rape when the whole thing was bullshit? That he couldn't accept. Watching her stand there turning on the waterworks while she told the jury about how he'd held her up against a wall and finger fucked her until she begged him to stop? He would have gladly done the time for murder instead if he'd been able to run across the room and strangle her.
She'd treated him like she thought he was shit from the day that they met, although that still didn't cool the full-on lust that he felt every time that he even thought about her. The stuck up English accent drove him so crazy that he couldn't tell if he wanted to screw someone or kick the shit out of them. She knew he wanted her; she had to. Everyone else knew it. He tried his best not to make her mad at him, but he had to make a living. The city wasn't an easy place to live for a half Irish punk without a father. Not that he was making any excuses for himself. There were other choices he could have made and didn't.
She caught him one day selling weed on the school grounds. It was small time shit that normally people would just have gotten a warning about, but he'd been there too many times already. He found himself sitting in her classroom after the end of school every day for the rest of the month. Not that he really thought of that as punishment until the last day.
"This is the last time I'm putting up with this from you, Sean," his teacher said, in full-scale Bitch mode. "You're not a child any more and you're certainly capable of knowing right from wrong. If you're caught engaging in any illegal activity on the school grounds again you will be permanently excluded from the school. Is that clear enough for you?"
Sean looked over at his teacher and smiled mischievously. "It is," he agreed. "But I've always wondered. Are you so uptight because your dealer isn't coming up with the goods, or do you just need a good fuck? Either way, I can hook you up, you know?"
Harrison looked unimpressed. "Today is not a good day to try to provoke me, Sean," she replied. "I have a lot of work to do and I can think of better ways of spending my time than this."
"You mean than with me," Sean growled, his sense of humour disappearing as he was suddenly reminded that he would never be good enough for her. He stood up and walked towards the front of the room, agitated. "Why the fuck is it that I'm not even worth the time of day?"
"You can think what you like," she snapped. "Just do it elsewhere, please." That was enough for Sean. He stalked towards her, his eyes smouldering. Lisa backed away quickly, until her back hit the classroom wall and she was trapped. Sean advanced on her until his chest was grazing her nipples and he grabbed her cheek, let his mouth almost touch hers. He stood there for several moments, his breathing heavy with anger and arousal.
She didn't move, or scream, or try to push him away. She simply stood there, waiting for him to do whatever he was going to do. Her breathing was unsteady and she was trembling slightly, but she still didn't fight him. He desperately wanted to turn his head just enough so that he could taste her, but he'd probably already done enough to get himself kicked out of the school.
Sean took a half step backwards. "I'm sorry," he whispered softly, then let his hand slide down off Lisa's cheek. "I'm sorry." He left the room and didn't look back. He'd expected her to have him kicked out for that, but she didn't say a word to anyone. Which made him wonder about whether she had actually enjoyed the whole thing.
And that brought him back to his interpretation of the events so ashamedly described by Miss Innocent during their little courtroom drama. A couple of weeks after their not-quite kiss, she'd followed him into the students' study room to continue an argument that he was trying to escape. He hadn't finished an assignment for her class. Big deal. Like he was ever going to graduate from the fucking school anyway. She was arguing for argument's sake, and she was driving him crazy. And turning him on.
Sean stomped off into the kitchen in the hope that she would leave so that he could wait until his raging hard on had gone. But no. Why would she follow him in there if she didn't want anything to happen?
As soon as she walked through the door to the kitchen, Sean closed it behind her and slammed his body up against hers. He grabbed her arms and held them still with his left hand as he slid his right hand to her chin and held her mouth steady. He didn't hesitate this time; he slid his mouth over hers and kissed her hard. Her mouth tasted like cream and he growled in ecstasy as he thrust up against her, the hand on her jaw moving down and onto her left breast.
He felt her groan softly as he slid his tongue into her mouth and his fingers over her nipple. She writhed against him for a moment, until he made it clear that he didn't want to let her go. His hand slid into her shirt and cupped her bare breast and she turned her head away from Sean and moaned in pleasure, her face red with shame.
