Tangled Hearts

by Laurie Ames

  And yet she felt so excited while talking with Tyreesha. She just wanted to be in her company and was disappointed when the time passed so quickly. She couldn’t describe what she was feeling; she only knew she had never felt these emotions before, not even with her husband.

  But it was wrong to feel anything beyond professional courtesy between a teacher and student; even if said student was on her way to becoming a top achiever. That was something she could talk about without feeling nervous. Tyreesha was going to be her top student in this class if she kept up her exemplary work.

  She spoke to her about that in November, right before exams started. She could have sworn her heart sped up when Tyreesha had given such a beautiful, glowing smile in response. The real surprise came when Tyreesha had hugged her professor tightly. Alicia felt those delicious soft curves when she hugged her affectionately back.

  Her emotions had become rattled when she looked into Tyreesha’s eyes and found joy and happiness in them from the compliment. But she also saw… something else, an emotion she couldn’t identify, nor wanted to. Maybe because she was afraid of what she might discover; maybe because she would have to admit to herself that she was feeling something toward her student.

  She had simply shaken her head and gone back to preparing her students’ exam, trying not to dwell on Tyreesha and her soft curves.

  Tyreesha had been thrilled – and a little lucky – to have passed her exam while studying. It had been hard to tear her thoughts away from Professor Wright’s compliments. To hear she was a very special person was a foreign concept to her. Not even her parents ever said anything even remotely positive to her before.

  ‘But what does that mean? She had thought to herself as she left the classroom, giddier than she had ever been. Somehow, though, she had managed to put it all aside while studying and she passed all her exams.

  She celebrated with drinks at her favorite watering hole and kept her personal vow to not take anyone home or go to someone’s place. Instead, she took a cab home and slept it off while dreaming of ways to get her sexy professor all to herself.

  Chapter Four

  ____________

  On Valentine’s Day, Tyreesha decided to heat things up between her and Alicia. She didn’t have any classes that day, but still decided to pop into the building to deliver a gift to Alicia. Since she didn’t have a lot of money to spare, she had bought a simple silver chain with a heart charm, wrapped it in plain paper and placed it in Alicia’s assignment drop off box.

  She did not try to hide the fact that it was from her, writing the note in her own handwriting. She was certain Alicia would be able to identify the gift-giver right away. It was nothing fancy like the things Alicia’s husband could buy for her, but it was the best she could do on a student’s savings. She had immediately left after dropping it off, suddenly feeling too shy to stay and see the professor’s reaction. She had only hoped it would be a step forward and not two steps back.

  ***

  Alicia had been a little surprised upon seeing the gift in her drop off box, but she knew immediately that it was not from Neil. Her husband would have wrapped it in the most expensive wrap that could be found, but this gift was wrapped quite plainly. A jolt of electricity shot through her once she realized who it may be from. The handwriting on the card that read “to my wonderful teacher” confirmed her suspicions.

  Heart racing, she tore through the paper and melted when she saw the gift. She held it in her hands delicately, as though it was made of rare glass. It was simple but so very sweet. She felt wonderful holding it even though she could never actually wear it. Strangely, it meant more to her than anything her husband had ever given her.

  When Tyreesha went to class the next day, she had a crazy plan in mind but then wondered if she should actually go through with it. When Alicia came in, she made no outward indication of whether she had appreciated the gift or not. The lecture had gone on as normal and Tyreesha was on the edge of her seat the entire time.

  At the end of the class, she was deliberately slow in getting her books together, making sure she would be the last to leave. Her nerves were very much frazzled at that point as she thought about carrying out her scheme. Her stomach felt like it had been tied up in a Celtic knot. When she knew they were finally alone, she made her move. That’s when she walked right up to Alicia. She placed an arm around her shoulder and planted a hard kiss on her lips.

  Alicia froze, but that lasted only a second before she melted into the kiss. Tyreesha could sense she had never been kissed like this before and a thrill shot through her. When she finally let go of Alicia’s lips, neither said anything for a long and silent moment.

  “Don’t tell me this is wrong,” Tyreesha whispered huskily to Alicia when the latter began to open her mouth in protest. “Is it wrong to be with someone you have genuine feelings for?” Alicia could only move her mouth open and closed at first.

  “No,” she whispered with trepidation in her voice; “but there are so many reasons why we shouldn’t do this.”

  “I know that,” Tyreesha told her firmly as she adjusted her bag and pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and gave it to her. “Here’s my address, come over tomorrow evening and we can talk some more.” She sashayed her way out of the classroom while hiding the smirk on her face. Alicia would show up, she was sure of it.

  ***

  ‘I can’t believe I’m doing this’, Alicia thought as she stood outside the door that led into Tyreesha’s apartment. She hadn’t been able to stop thinking about that kiss nor able to hide her distraction. Neil had certainly noticed her strange emotions. She had to stave off his suspicions by saying she was tired of having to organize so many classes.

  Twice she had almost fled when she reached the front door of Tyreesha’s apartment and she had almost thrown up on the elevator ride. Her pulse was racing and there was a lump in her very dry throat.

  ‘What am I doing here, this is wrong. Turn back now before it’s too late!’ She said to herself. Now here she was, standing at her student’s door, trying hard to push away her innermost fears. She hesitated before knocking and again felt like running away. She took several deep calming breaths before finally mustering up the courage to knock.

  She delivered a couple of very soft knocks to the door, almost hoping her student would not hear. ‘Please don’t answer, I bet she’s not home,’ she thought as she tried to fool herself.

  The door opened immediately and standing there was Tyreesha. Alicia was not given any time to even say a single word as the curvy student’s warm lips suddenly locked onto her’s. Alicia was totally shocked and stunned, and unable to do anything as Tyreesha pulled her inside. She didn’t regain her senses until she noticed Tyreesha was leading her closer to where she figured was the bedroom.

  “I thought we were going to talk about this?” She’d asked breathlessly after managing to pull away from the kisses.

  “We will,” Tyreesha whispered as she tugged her arm and led her into the bedroom, “but not until I show you what it could be like for the two of us.”

  By now Alicia had thrown all caution to the wind and offered no further resistance. She allowed Tyreesha to almost rip off her clothes and push her onto the bed. Tyreesha then proceeded to do a slow strip tease from the waist up, but very slowly, enough for Alicia to enjoy her ample curves.

  When Tyreesha had pulled her sweater over her head, Alicia was amazed to see that she hadn’t worn a bra for her visit. Her breasts were absolutely exquisite. They were plump with large dark areolas and matched perfectly her similarly large dark-skinned tits. Alicia was fast becoming a little wet as she started thinking about was how good it would feel to suck on those luscious titties.

  Tyreesha had noticed where Alicia’s attention had focused and played with her breasts in response. She squeezed her ripe mounds together, producing a fair amount of cleavage that left Alicia almost drooling. She pinched her nipples hard enough for the older woman to pro
duce pleasurably loud moans.

  She halted when she saw Alicia panting heavily and wanting to get on with it. She was thankful she had decided to simply wear sweatpants because she slid them off easily. Alicia could plainly see the rolls of flesh that padded her stomach, thighs and hips and she was hypnotized, powerless to resist whatever Tyreesha wanted to do to her next.

  Tyreesha slinked over to the bed where Alicia sat watching the show, then, leaned down and kissed her deeply. As their lips moved in unison, Tyreesha gently lowered their bodies so that they were flat on the mattress.

  “Let me be the teacher, right now,” Tyreesha whispered. Alicia could only nod wordlessly, as her finest student moved her lips along her collarbone and took her left breast into her mouth. Alicia could tell she had experience with women as Tyreesha moved her mouth around the nipple in a way that Neil had never done.

  While suckling, Tyreesha moved her hand south, running her fingers through Alicia’s short blonde curls. She probed her gently and was pleased to feel how plump her pussy lips felt. Alicia almost stopped breathing when she felt what Tyreesha was doing. Her nether regions had never been probed so deeply and passionately before. Neil had done his best but she had always felt he was somewhat inadequate when it came to sexual matters. Tyreesha was starting to prove her right.

  Tyreesha had switched her mouth to the other breast and probed even deeper, causing Alicia to scream before shutting her mouth immediately.

  “The walls are quite soundproof,” Tyreesha said after taking her mouth away, “no one will hear us, don’t worry about it.” To punish Alicia for that, she took her fingers out and sucked them clean in full view of her.

  Then, instead of going back to the nipple, she touched her lips to Alicia’s ribs, in a feather-light motion. She very slowly, torturously, moved south until she reached her professor’s pussy. Continuing the torture, she didn’t dive in right away, giving only the barest of touches to the nether lips.

  Alicia gritted her teeth in frustration, refusing to beg or demand anything. She simply rose her head to watch how long Tyreesha was going to take but she had to wait a long, agonizing while before her student made her next move. Tyreesha had felt eyes on her, sensed her teacher’s anger and frustration and inwardly smirked.

  ‘I have her now! Right where I want her.’ She cheered inwardly with glee as the tip of her tongue carefully moved around Alicia’s folds before going slightly past the lips. She felt her lover trying desperately not to squirm and that gave her an enormous feeling of power and satisfaction.

  Slowly, oh so slowly, she inched her tongue inside her teacher’s now-moist pussy walls and began darting around. Alicia begun making sighing noises as if trying to make a hard decision. ‘To beg or not to beg; that is the question,’ Tyreesha guessed was the reasoning behind the frustrated sounds.

  When the back of her tongue was almost buried, she was deep enough to wrench her lips apart and lick everywhere inside. Wanting more, she sank her tongue ever farther into Alicia’s love cave.

  Alicia could no longer keep quiet. She began cooing, “Please don’t stop” over and over again. Suddenly she screamed “Oh baby, God that feels so good, give me more sugar, harder, faster,” as she begged Tyreesha to keep going.

  Tyreesha didn’t stop, and she sped up the pace when she sensed Alicia was near orgasm. Finally, Alicia was ready and when she started cumming, it was very intense. Her walls clamped violently down on Tyreesha’s tongue as she rode out the wave. Her hips rocked back and forth over Tyreesha’s face for what seemed like an eternity. She released all her love juices in long and short spasms, as she screamed out in a high-pitched voice. Alicia knew she had found true ecstasy. Tyreesha continued licking and slurping, even after Alicia had stopped breathing heavily. The two lovers were totally infatuated with each other. When she had finished, Tyreesha crawled up beside her and held her a while; neither of them saying anything at first.

  “I have always wondered if I was really attracted to women and not men,” Alicia stated quietly, almost in reflection. Tyreesha said nothing in response and simply waited for her to continue. “Nothing I ever have done was ever for my own benefit, but someone else’s. My parents wanted me to be a lawyer, someone with money and prestige to reflect well on their underprivileged state. They were also thrilled when my husband wanted to date me, another prominent lawyer that had been on the fast track to becoming a judge.”

  “And a man.” Said Tyreesha, not meaning it as a question.

  “And a man,” Alicia confirmed; “the only thing that I have ever done to make myself proud was to not cut off contact with my daughter when she followed my own dream of quitting law school and doing what she wanted.”

  “So, that part of the rumors is actually true?”

  “Yeah, but that’s not the reason that I turned to teaching. I just got so sick and tired of the day after day grind of being in a courtroom and taking meetings with people that I couldn’t stand. Or worse, defending thugs that were guilty as hell. At least with teaching I could have as minimal contact as possible with people who may or may not grow up to be assholes.”

  “Yet you didn’t refute that particular rumor?”

  “I wanted to but then again it was to make someone happy. My husband cut her off and expected me to do the same. It hurts that I must hide every postcard I get from her and every letter I write to her. He just did it to save his own ass and I’m no better! So now, there is so much grief and emptiness in my heart. It’s a heavy feeling that’s like the weight of the world is resting on my shoulders and there is nothing I can do about it. I miss my daughter so very much.”

  Alicia soon descended into sobs and tears started to flow unchecked from her eyes. At this point, she buried her head into Tyreesha’s ample bosom as the curvaceous dark-skinned beauty held her tightly, allowing her to let it all out. She rubbed her teacher’s back as Alicia began to hiccup from her sobbing. They stayed that way until they had both fallen asleep. Alicia did not care at all that Neil would be wondering where she had been all night.

  ***

  When Alicia woke up, her first thought was how thirsty she felt. It took her a moment to remember her crying binge the night before. She shot up, no easy feat considering the size of Tyreesha’s arms. That’s when all the events of the night before started hitting her like a freight train.

  ‘What have I done?! How could I have let this happen, with a student no less? If anyone finds out, I’ll be ruined! Neil will be ruined, Tyreesha will get a reputation’. She nearly collapsed as the weight of her actions rained down on her, crushing her emotions.

  She sighed. What was done was done—there was no going back. But did she really want this connection between her and Tyreesha to stop after this one time? She knew that she must stop but deep down inside she was desiring more.

  ‘I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,’ she sighed and turned around to look at Tyreesha closely. She had thought Tyreesha was gorgeous when she first saw her and loved that she had a very unique and pretty name. She could now admit that she had wanted her since their first meeting, but actually going through with her fantasy was something else entirely. Continuing the affair would be off the scale.

  ‘My head is starting to hurt from all this intense thinking; not even my toughest law cases gave me headaches like this! Turning away from her self examination, she began to put on her clothes as slowly as possible, not wanting to stay for a potentially embarrassing conversation, but also not wanting to seem like a bitch for just getting fucked and running.

  ‘No, it’s better to stay and see what happens next’, she decided as she put her pants on. She had just put on her bra when she heard the moans that signaled Tyreesha was beginning to wake up. She halted and stared directly at the curvy dark-skinned woman on the bed, waiting for her eyes to open.

  When Tyreesha did awaken, her eyes lit up so brightly that Alicia’s heart began to melt. She gasped, slightly catching her breath. Alicia immediately knew that she c
ouldn’t stop this connection, she could not break the heart of someone who looked at her that way. That needy look that said Alicia was the one who filled a big hole in Tyreesha’s life.

  “You have classes today,” Tyreesha stated. “We have classes today.” She got up as Alicia finished dressing.

  “I’ll see you later?” Tyreesha asked hopefully. Alicia could not help but smile at her with reassurance.

  “Definitely,” and with that Alicia walked out of the room, temporarily going back to her somewhat “normal” life.

  Tyreesha continued getting ready for her own day. ‘I hope that smile was a good sign’ she prayed, ‘because I don’t think I’d be able to survive having my heart broken by the first person I’ve ever had feelings for.’

  When she finished, she grabbed her bag, thankful she had no urgent assignments due for a little while. As she left the house, she shaded her eyes when the sun hit her in the face, tired and drained from the night before.
