"I'm glad you could join me tonight Ms. McKenzie," said Dr. Elliot charismatically.
She pulled out the chair closest to her at the table for the lovely Kate McKenzie to sit down. It never occurred to Kate to sit that close to her, especially at the four-seater table at this particular bistro. But, if that is what her new boss wanted, far be it from her to turn the offer.
Truth be told, Kate wanted to sit as close to her as possible. While Kate was happily married to her husband Richard for the past eight years, she couldn't deny the fact that there was something spectacularly sultry about the headmistress, her boss, the woman holding the chair out for to sit down (unbelievably close) beside her.
The table candle flickered in the dimly lit, warm and intimate spot Dr. Elliot had selected for a small meal. What was it about candle light that made any situation feel more sexy than it should? What was it about Caroline Elliot that made Kate want to be there, in front of her, more than at home with her doting, affectionate husband?
"Would you like some wine, Ms. McKen—" Kate stopped her question short, with a grin and interrupted with, "please, call me Kate. I feel like I'm in trouble whenever I hear an adult call me Ms."
Kate smiled and proceeded to take off her coat, revealing a black, tight-knit, v-neck sweater that quite obviously had caught Caroline's stare. Let's face it, that's why Kate wore it. She had many choices that would have been far more appropriate for an impromptu meeting with the head of the school she worked at. She and her friends had often joked about this particular shirt. It left men, and so it seemed tonight, women, at the mercy of the seductive cut and snug hug of her curves.
"Does that happen often?" Caroline slowly asked. She caught a long look at her cleavage. Too long perhaps, as she didn't wait for Kate to say she wanted to actually have glass of wine. Instead, she took control and lifted the bottle, filling the glass as full as she could.
"What's that then?" Kate asked, unsure of Caroline's question.
"Are you often 'in trouble'?"
"Oh, it happens from time to time. When I do things I ought not to."
Kate took a small sip from the dark, red wine in front of her. Far too dry for her. Kate preferred a zinfandel or something a bit more fruity. Although tonight, this wine tasted delicious. She took another sip.
"Ought not to?" Caroline grinned. "Well, don't keep me in suspense, Kate. What on earth would someone like you get in trouble for?" Caroline asked, sipping slowly from her glass wondering how she was going to make it through this dinner without staring down at Kate's abundant endowment every chance she had.
God, she was beautiful. Kate McKenzie, perfectly toned, dark skinned, and full lips that begged to be kissed, and that sweater.
"Dr. Elliot, are you flirting with me?" Kate finally got up the courage to ask.
"Was there a reason you asked me to join you this evening? I thought, perhaps, it was about the choir we discussed starting at Sulgrave. I think the children would truly enjoy it. I have lead a few groups in my last position, and I really…"
"Done." Caroline offered, smiling widely. "Kate, you have nothing but impressed me since joining Sulgrave. You are a welcome addition to this faculty. I wanted to let you know that. That was the reason I invited you to join me tonight. That and I wanted to get to know you a little better. I try my best to get acquainted with my entire staff."
"Thank you Caroline. This means a lot to me," Kate responded with a smile.
Kate was warned the first week of her teaching position at Sulgrave, that the Headmistress had a habit of making more than professional relationships with some of the staff. Men and women alike, fell voluntary prey to her magnetism. It was well known within the staff circle that Caroline Elliot was somewhat of a seductress. Falling for her charms was something that took no real effort for men, or for women. She was beautiful, intelligent, well-respected, and witty. Kate was more or less impressed with herself that, out of the three new staff members this term, Caroline had set her sights on her. Had chosen her. How ridiculous and petty, Kate thought, and yet, here she was, sitting across from Dr. Caroline Elliot.
One glass turned into three and, before long, the polite chit chat over school policy, teaching techniques, favorite books and movies, had quieted. The salad and appetizers were nearly finished. Kate found herself looking at Caroline's lips, wondering what they would feel like against her own. Was she a rough, deep kisser? She wondered if Caroline would be one to take control. Or would it be sweet, slow, and sensual? She didn't know which one she would prefer. She only knew that it was not the kind of thing a happily married straight woman like herself should even be contemplating.
"Are you staring at me, Ms. McKenzie?"
This latest question shocked Kate from her in-depth scrutiny of Caroline's gorgeous mouth.
"No, I… sorry…I was just thinking," Kate fumbled.
Caroline, leaned over the table looked deliberately down at Kate's cleavage, moving up towards her lips her lips, and then finally her eyes, and with all the sexuality that could possibly fill a sentence leaned in to say:
"I was just thinking too," her voice slow and tempting. "I was thinking how I would very much like to take you home with me tonight."
"If that is something you would be interested in?"
Caroline took another sip from her glass, put it down, and started to slide her fingers up the stem as she continued.
"I know you're married, and I know you might not be interested, but if I didn't ask you after this wonderful evening I would kick myself."
"I haven't been able to keep my eyes off of you all night. Well, if I am to be completely honest, since you started here two weeks ago. You are a gorgeous, intelligent woman Kate. And I would very much like to," her voice quieted and she whispered, "bed you".
Kate felt her stomach flip, in the best of ways. Her breath deepened, she was speechless.
"Although Kate... I should warn you..." she said, leaning in as close as she could, placing her mouth up to Kate's ear she whispered, "I am somewhat of a bedroom bully."
A bedroom bully? Kate felt her knees give way, felt a deep throb between her legs, felt the blood rush from her face the second she felt Caroline's warm breath against her ear. And those words, what they possibly could mean? She didn't know, but my God she wanted to find out. Caroline was someone Kate felt she would completely submit to.
Kate sat there, feeling more than tipsy and way more out of her element than she had ever felt in her entire life. Nothing she had ever experienced with Richard, or her other boyfriends, came remotely close to what those words, and that exquisite breath in her ear, did to her.
"Caroline," Kate swallowed hard, "What do you mean a "bedroom bully?"
There it was. The door was opened. Instead of saying "No thank you. I'm married, but flattered," Kate had decided to go further. Maybe it was the wine, maybe it was the idea that before her sat, a woman who was quite possibly the sexiest creature she had ever encountered.
"Well," Caroline leaned in again and whispered, "I'm in charge."
Caroline reached out and touched Kate's hand with her fingertips.
"I tell you when you can take your clothes off." Caroline took her hand into hers, "I decide when I want you to have each orgasm…"
She lifted Kate's hand and brought it up to her mouth.
"I tell you when you have had enough," Caroline gently kissed the back of Kate's hand, her tongue seductively whispering across it.
"When you can dress again, and when you can leave. Among other things, that you will find out. If you like. Does that sound like something you might be interested in Kate? Letting me take you?"
Kate sat in the flickering candle light, transfixed with desire and Caroline knew it.
"Have you ever been with a woman before?" She continued, as she slid her hand under the table and upon Kate's knee.
The table was completely private. There wasn't a chance anyone could see what Caroline was up to. Her hand sliding from the top of her knee, to underneath it. Squeezing with just enough pressure to make Kate squirm with pleasure.
"No," Kate offered sheepishly. Kate hadn't. Now it was all she could think of; being at the complete mercy of Dr. Elliot.
Caroline took another look at Kate's cleavage, lifted her glass, and seductively said, "Well, then. I think this might qualify as one of those times you might do something you ought not to."
"Shall we?" Caroline asked. Removing her hand from Kate's leg, she motioned for their server to get the bill.
Kate managed to stand, managed to keep her breath in check, but couldn't manage to keep her eyes off of Caroline.
"There you are!" A familiar voice boomed over the tables.
"Richard?" Kate fumbled.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, feeling a bit annoyed and embarrassed.
Richard walked towards the women, smiling and exasperated. "I've been looking all over for you. I was just down the road, trying to text you to see if you needed a lift home."
His eyes crossed from Caroline to Kate, "What are you doing back here in the dark?"
