This is chapter 10 of a series. If you like this story, I encourage you to read chapters 1 and 2 in particular, as they should have been classified within this genre but were misclassified (by me) as BDSM. Reading earlier chapters will also help understand the characters and context. In any case, please do provide feedback. There are obvious sequels to this series, and I would be happy to hear your suggestions for how to improve it.
Finally, please do vote (especially if you like it?). I must admit that getting good votes is a substantial encouragement (the copyediting in particular is very tedious). In any case, I hope you enjoy it.

The following week, Miss Harding told Teddy to stay after the next biology class. Teddy knew her intention. This was to be his private lesson. It was a lesson that he might normally have enjoyed. However, he no longer felt this way, given his budding relationship with Penny. He had no interest in risking the loss of this relationship, or offending Penny in any way. Yet, he also did not want to offend Miss Harding. He didn't know what to do.
He spoke to Penny about his dilemma. Fortunately, she was understanding. She knew that Teddy shouldn't do anything to upset Miss Harding. He needed to pass her class, and who knows what additional trouble she could cause for him. He did seem to be in a very difficult situation.
Penny offered to be with Teddy when he met with her. Her presence would provide moral support, as well as make clear to Miss Harding of their own relationship and that they had no secrets from one another. Once Miss Harding saw Penny's presence, perhaps she would just drop her own plans for Teddy. In any case, she still held quite a grudge against Miss Harding. She not only had embarrassed her boyfriend in front of all of the students, but was even trying to take him away from her. She only wished that she could teach Miss Harding a lesson.
When the biology class ended, Teddy began to leave. Miss Harding stopped him as he was walking out. "Teddy, where are you going? Did I not tell you that we had an appointment?"
"Yes, Miss Harding," Teddy replied. "Uh, it's just that, um, I was also suppose to meet with Penny, my girlfriend. She said she would meet me here, outside of class, afterwards."
"Your girlfriend? You have a girlfriend, Teddy?" Miss Harding was surprised at this. She knew that Teddy was interested in Penny, but she had always perceived (correctly) that Teddy was incredibly shy with Penny and she would not have expected Teddy to actually refer to Penny as his girlfriend.
"Well, yes I do, Miss Harding," Teddy shyly responded.
On the one hand, Miss Harding was disappointed. She was looking forward to a private lesson with Teddy. Her experience with Teddy in class and in the library, as well as her experience with Ronnie, Chris, and Bobby, had made it clear to her how much she enjoyed having sex with these young men, who seemed more like boys given their level of experience with women.
On the other hand, she was also pleased for Teddy. Her main goal, as his teacher, was to help him develop into a young man with self-confidence. She in fact was worried that her punishment of him during class the previous week might have been detrimental. She was gratified that Teddy was growing in self-esteem. "Teddy, well, I am very happy for you. That is wonderful, and Penny is a delightful girl."
Teddy was very relieved to hear this reaction.
"I certainly hope, Teddy, that the spanking you received from me in class, and my use of your penis for the purposes of the class demonstration, had not been problematic for you with regard to Penny."
Teddy did have very mixed feelings about this. He did feel that his class experiences had been instrumental in bringing them together. It had forced a sexual encounter that they had both wanted but had been unable to start. However, he had also been sorely humiliated by the spanking and his masturbation in front of the class. His subsequent encounter with Sally Embretson and the chess club boys in her biology class had affirmed for him his fears. He wasn't sure what to say. He began by saying the positive.
"Well, actually, Miss Harding, I think it was all very helpful. I mean, I don't know if we would have become involved if not for the laboratory assignment." Miss Harding was relieved to hear of this. Just then, Penny knocked on the door.
"Teddy, are you ready to go, or should I wait here for you?" she asked.
Miss Harding spoke first. "Penny, please, come in, we're having a very helpful discussion." Penny entered the classroom, concerned about what had already been said, but very willing to participate.
"Teddy tells me that the two of you are now a couple, and I think that is just wonderful. I am also very happy to hear that I might have in fact been helpful in this regard."
Penny's jaw dropped. She wondered what they had been talking about. She could tell that Miss Harding did not appear to be interested any longer in private lessons for Teddy, but she was not happy to hear that she was now claiming responsibility for bringing them together when in fact she had been planning on having sex with Teddy. But, she did not want to say anything that might get Teddy into trouble.
"Really?" Penny asked.
Miss Harding perceived the doubt in Penny's voice. She knew that she was not getting the entire truth from Teddy. She turned to Teddy. "But, I don't think I yet have the full story," she replied. "I do hope that I have not been harmful to you in any way, have I, Teddy?"
Teddy cleared his throat, knowing that what he said next might be quite important. He looked at Penny, grateful for the moral support of her presence. He then revealed at least some of his true feelings. "Well, Miss Harding, I must admit that I was pretty embarrassed about being spanked in front of everyone, including even Penny, and then I was even forced to be masturbated in front of everyone. It was a little embarrassing."
Miss Harding knew that Teddy was understating it. She knew it had been very embarrassing. Embarrassment was part of her intention, but she appreciated that she probably had gone a bit far, in part because she frankly enjoyed it. Perhaps she had unwisely taken advantage of the situation. Her ultimate goal was to help the students, not to harm them. She was particularly worried that she might have embarrassed Teddy in front of Penny. She now regretted her effort to describe him in a manner that was infantile, perhaps even degrading, in front of his girlfriend.
