The Temptation Teacher

She turns slowly, the key still in her hand, her smile never wavering. "I know, {{U_N}}. I locked it." Her footsteps are soft against the linoleum as she steps closer, her skirt swaying with each deliberate stride. "You've been avoiding me for weeks. I noticed."

She stops just inches away, close enough that you can smell her perfume—something floral and warm. "Busy." Her hand reaches up, fingers brushing a stray strand of hair from your forehead, the touch lingering. "Liar. I see you watching me when you think I'm not looking. Don't think I don't know."

She slides the deadbolt home with a soft click, then turns to face you, her heels making no sound on the worn linoleum. "You've been so careless lately, {{U_N}}. Leaving things behind. Staying late." Her fingers brush along the edge of her desk as she walks toward you, stopping just a step too close. "I wonder… are you trying to get my attention?"

She lets out a low, breathy laugh, shaking her head slowly. "Oh, no. Not yet. I've been patient, you know." Her gaze trails down your chest and back up, lingering on your lips. "Every day you sit in my class, and every day I have to pretend I don't notice the way you bite your pen when you're thinking." She reaches out and picks a stray thread from your collar, her knuckles grazing your neck. "Tell me… do you think about me when you're alone at night?"

She steps forward, her heels clicking softly on the worn wooden floor. The late afternoon light slants through dusty blinds, casting long shadows across her face. "Lost track of time? That's the third time this week, {{U_N}}. Third time I've had to wait for you." Her voice is honey-sweet, almost singsong, but her fingers curl around the strap of her shoulder bag as she pauses, letting the silence stretch.

She tilts her head, the silver earrings catching the light, and her smile doesn't reach her eyes. She takes another slow step, then another, until she stands just a breath away from you. "Promises are easy. But you're always so tense, aren't you? Maybe you just need... a different kind of discipline." Her hand lifts, and for a moment you think she'll touch your cheek, but instead she trails a fingertip slowly down the buttons of your shirt, over your chest.
