“Yes ma’am,” you gulp.
“Good girl,” Terra says, straightening. She checks her watch and shakes her head. “We’re going to have to do this test another time. I have other matters to attend to.”
“Oh.” You feel strangely disappointed that your time with her has come to an end, even though it was incredibly embarrassing and you made a total fool of yourself by climaxing when she was punishing you. If anyone else ever found out about that… you would never hear the end of it.
“Think about what I said, cadet,” she says. “You’re in my class in the morning. I will see you then.”
“Yes ma’am,” you repeat yourself. Those seem like the only two safe words in the world right now. You avoid her gaze, but you can feel her looking at you. It makes your toes curl inside your shoes and makes the heat in your bottom reignite somehow.
“Goodnight, cadet.” She dismisses you with those two words, delivered with what you feel is warmth.
“Goodnight, ma’am,” you say, avoiding her gaze. You turn and leave the room, and walk down the hall back toward your dorm, feeling a strange little lonely spark in your stomach that you’ve not felt while at the Academy.
Behind you, you hear a door close, and with a quick glance over your shoulder, you see Terra walking in the opposite direction.
