Clara Krautheimer nipped through the dark chocolate shell and allowed the candy nugget's mocha cream soft center to melt onto her tongue without chewing. The See's Candy clerk saw the obvious joy in her customer's eyes as she relished the free sample and asked, "Can I make up a one-pound box of those for you? Or would you prefer a variety?"
The interrogatory jogged Clara back to reality, but not as much as what she saw through the shop window, across the Quadrangle Mall's wide aisle. There, in Victoria's Secret, she was certain that she was looking at Charles Womack, paying for she couldn't guess what. As she tried to fathom the scene, she turned to the candy clerk and answered, "No, no, Dear. It's delicious, but I'll stick with my usual. Just pack me a half-pound of Scotch Mallows and Bordeauxes, evenly divided. There's a good girl. But do hurry... I have to, umm, meet someone!"
Moments later, Clara rushed from the candy shop and discreetly surveilled the eighteen-year-old high school student she recognized from her American Literature class. Standing hidden behind a large ficus in a cement planter, she was of two minds: Part of her was eager to discover not only what naughty intimate item, or items, the boy had bought, but for whom they were bought. Another, more sensible, part of her urged her to turn around; take her confections, and go home to her calico cat, Fritzy. As she wrestled with her yens, her target left the lingerie shop carrying a large pink-and-black box and headed away from her toward a mall exit.
Until last evening, Clara's sensual devil-may-care alter-ego had been on a hiatus since her affair with young Ernie Post ended with his graduation three years ago. Now, for the second time in less than twenty-four hours, she piped up excitedly, "Carpe Diem, Dearie! Remember how you wondered if that sweet boy from seventh period had a dickhead as smooth, fat and yummy as a Scotch Mallow? Don't miss your chance to set up finding out!"
The stout sixty-four-year-old English teacher's nipples poked up hard, thick and sassy from their wrinkled platforms as she blushed under her make-up at the returning taboo thought. Neither her brassiere's buttressing full lace-and-cotton cups, nor her silky rayon slip restrained the plump pips' impression against her cotton print dress. Her heart was on fire, her brain blazed and she had a familiar, but long absent, queasiness in her tummy. While she moved past the weeping fig and followed her quarry, she chided herself, "You are so bad, Clara Krautheimer!"
"No, you're not," countered the voice. "You're just a woman with natural neglected needs and increasingly few opportunities to meet them. This boy might be your last chance before you retire and are surrounded only by old men with failing prostates. Don't let yourself shrivel into hagdom, Dearie!"
Oblivious to his stalker, Charles drifted through the light Saturday afternoon shopping crowd toward his parked Mazda. He was consumed by thoughts of the best way to present his mother with the sexy purple satin-and-lace bikini panties and matching sheer net nightie that he carried under his arm. "Before dinner will be way too early," he mused. He saw, in his mind's eye, the royal flimsy veil draping her pale voluptuous body and figured, "But actually giving it to her on Mothers' Day will be too late to enjoy tonight. So, after dinner I'll just have to look for an opportunity and hope for the best."
Even though Charles knew for a fact that he had fucked his mom twice, just since breakfast, it was difficult for him to wrap his head around his transition from 'dweeb' to 'stud'. In particular, although she had squealed and clutched him tight as he loaded her up with his cum, he was unsure whether she was serious about continuing their sexual relationship. He questioned himself, "What if she gets all guilty, or is embarrassed, or even angry? What if she doesn't like the outfit that I bought her?"
As he opened his Protégé's driver's side rear door and tossed the package onto the bench seat he was startled to hear his name called. The voice was oddly familiar, but the setting for it was all wrong. Raising his head abruptly, he cracked it sharply on the upper edge of the open door-frame then pulled back. While he straightened up and turned about to see who was nearby, he winced at the throbbing pain.
From three feet away, Clara exclaimed again, as if completely surprised, "Charles Womack! It IS you! Imagine that!" Then, noticing the lad's grimace as he rubbed the back of his towhead brush-cut, she promptly rushed forward. Penning him in between her fireplug body and the flung-open car door, she lowered her voice and consoled, "You poor boy! That was a nasty bang... I'm sorry now that I shouted. I could have waited until you were outside the car..."
Seizing the moment, just as her inner voice had advised, Clara spun Charles in place as neatly as a cop about to frisk a suspect. However, more tenderly than any policeman with a legal reason, she ran her hands up his back and tipped his head forward over the door as she sweetly cooed, "Good, I don't see any obvious bleeding or broken skin in your scalp." Her deft light touch at his temples and behind his ears down to his T-shirt's collar felt weirdly wonderful to him while she soothed, "Still, it's already raised a lump and head injuries can be deceptive."
Clara took full advantage of her teaching experience and maximally exercised the authority she had built up in her classroom. Kindly, but with no nonsense, she walked Charles around the Mazda and parked him in the front passenger seat as she informed him, "You're coming with me. I want to watch you, in case there's a concussion, or worse, developing." Closing the door, she hustled to the driver's side more spryly than he would have guessed possible based on her age and shape. He watched, stunned and speechless, as she used the keys that she had somehow liberated from his hand to start the little sedan's engine.
Clara put the car in gear and aimed it for the street while she spoke conversationally, "As you well, know, Charlie... it's alright if I call you that outside the classroom, isn't it? I mean, I AM your teacher, but we BOTH know who put the chocolates under my door mat yesterday afternoon, don't we?" Turning her head briefly from traffic, she winked at him and smiled conspiratorially. "Oh yes, Charlie," she thought, as she quickly assessed his susceptibility to fall prey to her wiles. "I think you're going to be easy and fun."
"Anyway," Clara continued aloud. "As you know, I live only a half-mile away. On beautiful days, like today, I often walk over here just for the exercise. Some might say it was pure luck that I should be leaving the See's store at the same that you were leaving Victoria's Secret, but I think that just maybe it was Fate." Boldly reaching past the gear shift, she patted Charles' left knee quickly before returning her hand to the steering wheel and inquiring sincerely, "How are you feeling? Woozy? Okay? Well, don't worry, we'll be at my place soon and I'll take a closer look at your hurt."
Charles did feel a little dizzy and was having trouble following Mrs. Krautheimer's patter. What was really strange to him was not the lump on his crown, but the lump developing between his legs. He rolled his eyes to the roof liner and prayed silently, "Please, God! Please, don't let me get a hard-on now!" He couldn't think of any reason for his cock to be thickening in his Wranglers, but he couldn't deny that that seemed to be what it most wanted to do at the moment.
Clara glanced sidelong at the teen as he writhed his butt minutely, but noticeably, on his seat. Spotting his growing concern as well as his concerning growth, she pursed her lips and swallowed around an itching dryness in her throat. Five minutes later, she pulled the silver Mazda into the single-lane driveway beside her duplex. As she set the parking brake, she admonished, "Now just sit tight, Charlie. I'll be right there to help you."
Charles closed his knees together and squeezed, hoping against hope that his incipient erection would instantly shrink. Whether by divine intervention or anxiety-driven biology, he was relieved when he felt his tuber wallow soft against his testes as his chauffeur opened his door and closed her left hand around his right biceps. Swiveling on the seat as he exited, he graciously allowed her to guide him between his little Protégé's nose and her forest green 2010 Ford Crown Victoria's wide trunk. He didn't think he needed the help, but at the same time, the warmth of her closeness and contact were peculiarly comforting.
As usual when his mistress returned home, Fritz, the calico cat, sat like a sentry in the short hall patiently waiting for the front door to open. He was at least confused, if not a little miffed, to see her enter with a stranger, and a male one, at that. Turning his back and lifting his tail, he fluffed out his fur, then sauntered off with disdain. Clara chuckled, double-squeezed Charles' arm and pointed with her right hand to the departing cat as she said, "That's Fritzy. Lord of the manor, but watch his attitude change when you put some kibble in his dish."
Releasing her student, she walked into the kitchenette, saying over her shoulder as she went, "Seriously, Charlie... There's Friskies on the counter beside Fritzy's dish. Pour some in and put it by his water dish, then have a seat at the table. I'll be with you in two shakes of a lamb's tale." Bypassing the small expandable blue Formica-and-tube-steel table, she moved into the living room and on to a location unknown to Charles.
When Clara returned, Fritz was purring over his food and Charles sat at the table as directed, with his hands patiently folded in front of him on the tabletop. She wouldn't have minded if he had selected the opposite chair and saw, as she came in, that she had changed out of her floral print dress into her favorite coral-and-cream quilted satin housecoat. On the other hand, it tickled her that, since he sat with his back to her and the living room, she might surprise him again. Drawing in a deep breath, she inflated her forty-inch bosom within her size 36DD underwired bra as she stepped up close behind his chair.
