Guidance

chapter 3

The professor came home late the following day. Leia had been munching on her favourite bag of chips for dinner. She had taken full liberty of using the flat screen TV in the living room and was currently enjoying a TV series one of her mates had recommended. She didn't hear the professor come in, didn't notice the front door had opened or that the professor was now watching her from the corner of the room.

Leia jumped at the sound of a throat being cleared. She looked to the corner of the room and saw the professor staring at her with hard eyes. She seemed to really enjoy making leia nearly piss her pants in fear. Leia's eyes took in what she saw, the professor was in her work slacks that hugged her in all the right places, her white Oxford shirt was left unbuttoned at the top, giving a wonderful peek onto the professor's delicate collar bones. For leia, the professor was the height of femininity, of elegance.

"I'm assuming you haven't had dinner?"

She stumbled over her reply, as seemed to be the case everytime she was in the presence of the professor.

"Uhh, no ma'am. I'm not hungry. Have you-"

"Oh, you're not hungry? Is that why you were absolutely devouring those chips? I thought the rules were clear to you leia. You are supposed to prioritize your health."

The professor was chastising her like a parent almost. Leia's cheeks burned with the embarrassment.

"I'm sorry Ma'am. I'll eat something proper right now. Would you like something as well?"

"I need to change out of these clothes. I'm in the mood for a red sauce pasta, get the pot and the pasta out and I'll be right down."

Leia hurried to do as the older woman had asked her to. She was ready with the stuff by the time the professor got down.

She had changed out of the pants, into a pair of well fitted grey sweats but the white shirt was still there, the sleeves had been folded up to the elbow and the collar was just as ajar as before. Leia felt dumbstruck by the beauty of the Professor.

"Do you know how to cook little girl?"

Her cheeks burned once again. It seemed the professor knew exactly what to say to push leia into newfound degrees of embarrassment. Her infantilising tone and her little smirk showed leia all she needed to see to know that the professor was completely aware of the affect her words had on the younger girl. It seemed like a game to her.

"No ma'am, not really. I can chop stuff up nicely though. May I help?"

Leia was committed to gaining the upper hand in the situation. She couldnt continue acting like a blubbering idiot everytime the professor looked at her.

The professor put a record on, some unfamiliar composition on the cello, music leia had never  thought to listen to before. It blended nicely with the mood of the room. The two worked in silence, there arms occasionally brushing, it seemed no matter what, leia could not avoid the affect the woman had on her. Being so close to her, taking directions from her, watching her skilled hands and languid motions. Everything about the older woman felt like an aphrodisiac to leia.

With the food plated and devoured, the two now faced each other. The professor quickly broke the silence, it seemed as though something had been waiting to jump out from the tip of her tongue.

"I think it's time we discuss the second part of our agreement." The professor went on leaving no space for leia to get a word in, her quick nods in agreement were barely acknowledged. "You broke a rule today little girl. There has to be punishment. Now that you're fed I think it's time for the punishment to start."

Leia was shocked to say the least. She didn't think such a tiny infraction would warrant a punishment?? What the fuck does she even mean by a punishment. Leia's heart hammered against her chest her breathing felt shallow all of a sudden.
