Marquise Alice

Eliza stayed in front of Caleb the entire way toward the dining hall, her movements kept an exaggerated sway to her hips showing off her legs and ass as she moved. Caleb was wary of the situation but couldn’t help but notice the way her skirt clung to her and the way she moved. It was definitely having an effect on his…faculties but he tried to remember what Amy had told him yesterday.

These sabotages could affect people both mentally and physically so which was this? It would be one thing if the professor had merely changed outfits and now was feeling better about everything but he doubted that. After everything they had discussed, he couldn’t imagine the shift in her demeanor being anything but compelled. The change was too sudden.

Before Caleb knew it, he had stopped walking distracted by his thoughts and the blonde was staring back at him.

“Are you coming or not?” Her voice was playful, “I don’t mind taking the lead but I don’t want you falling too far behind.” She flashed a mischievous smile his way

Caleb tried to smile back if this was her true feelings he didn’t want to offend her, but still, he managed to get out, “Hey professor? After everything we talked about, you don’t have to **** yourself. If you want we can just meet up at 9 as the rules require, then you’re free to do what you want without having to avoid anything.”

Eliza raised a finger to her cheek and thought on it for a moment before leaning in again, Caleb trying desperately not to stare at her massive weapons of destruction being put on full display, “Right, but I got to thinking maybe I’m overthinking it, maybe we should just enjoy the moment after all this is my one opportunity to have you all to myself.” as she spoke she inched her lips closer to his ear before breaking away with a grin and leaving Caleb staring as his pants suddenly felt much too tight.

“So, with that settled…are you coming?” Her smile shining brilliantly as she turned and sashayed towards the dining hall.

“Yeah…I think I’m going to be coming.” Caleb muttered in a daze before shaking his head and moving to catch up with his date.

As they came to the dining hall a Faun saw them approach and rushed in front of them and made a cross with their arms while shaking their head fervently.

Caleb stood next to Eliza and looked at her and the Faun, “What seems to be the problem?”

The Faun gestured at Caleb and then Eliza, then between the two of them, then at the dining hall and then emphatically shook it’s head again.

“God I wish they could just talk it would be so much easier.” the Master sighed

Eliza chuckled, “You really don’t, though. I think she’s trying to say that we’re not supposed to eat here, is that right?”

The Faun pointed excitedly at Eliza and nodded.

Raising an eyebrow Caleb asked, “Is there another place we’re supposed to go to eat if we’re on a date? Lucian never mentioned anything like that”

The Faun clapped its hand to it’s face and then nodded and took Caleb’s hand and began to lead him forcefully back down the path they just came from and back up the stairs to the second floor. The faun then led them down one of the unexplored hallways until they came to a set of golden doors with a decorated red velvet center. In front of the door was another Faun dressed as a maître d' which bowed as they approached. Their guide gave an exasperated sigh and then bowed before leaving.

Caleb waved lamely after it’s departing form, “Thank you?”

The new Faun waved indicating for them to enter and opened the door leading to a rich room lit by a chandelier. Warm wood tones took over the space centered around a small intimate table with red dining cloth in the center already furnished with silverware and wine glasses. The maître d' guided them to their seats and then summoned a menu from seemingly nowhere and took orders from the two. Before departing it filled each of their glasses with wine.

Caleb lifted his wine glass, “I guess this space is reserved for dates only, though I don’t know why they didn’t just tell us about it.”

“Maybe to keep it a surprise? It’s certainly a luxurious intimate place.” The professor reached out and lifted her wine glass, “Perfect for getting to know each other better oh-” Her hand seemed to slip tipping a small amount of wine onto her chest. Caleb watched as the vibrant red liquid danced along her pale skin before she took her napkin from the table, “how clumsy of me…”

Caleb turned his eyes as she dabbed at her chest with the napkin, “honestly professor I’m a little surprised by your change in behavior,” he tried probing, he needed to know how much of this was really her, “Can you explain what brought it on? You said you thought you were overthinking but I thought all your reasons made sense.”

Eliza gave out a sigh and then muttered something under her breath that Caleb couldn’t catch before turning to face him, “Eliza.”

Sipping his wine, Caleb raised an eyebrow, “I’m sorry?”

“While we’re here on this island please call me Eliza. I’m not your professor here, you’re not my student. In fact, if the wording of the transformation is to be taken I believe you are now five years older than me. So let’s dispense of the honorifics…” under the table she ran her foot along his leg, “While we’re here we’re just one man and one woman, getting to know each other better.”

Caleb gulped as Fauns started streaming out the door at the side of the room bringing out their food to them on brass plates polished so fine you could see your reflection out of them. While eating, the mood was tense, Eliza made a few more attempts to catch his eye, at one point leaning down to pick up a dropped work and highlighting her ass to him. But the meal went by with little incident. The food was spectacular and Caleb was again **** to reconcile if not for the demon running the show, this might be an almost idyllic vacation.

Dessert was brought out, a classic Tiramisu prepared beautifully on the plates in front of them. Eliza took a bite and sighed blissfully as the combination of bitter coffee and sweet cream danced across her palette.

Caleb became increasingly aware as he ate the rich dessert that soon they would be retiring and he had no idea what to expect from the current Eliza. He had expected for a simple evening with them each taking a side of the bed and each trying to pretend the other wasn’t there. But watching the performative way that the professor was licking her spoon, Caleb doubted if that was an option at this point.

Their plates finished and collected they sat there, Eliza leaning in and entwining her fingers as she stared into Caleb’s eyes, “Are you ready to show me to the Master’s suite?”

Caleb’s mind raced internally but all that managed to make it out of his mouth was, “Yeah, sure, let’s go”

The walk to the Elevator was short, but with every step, Caleb was aware of the pounding of his heart in his ears, deafening and filling all is senses. He was aware of how his palms had become slightly clammy the closer they got. Aware of the fact that despite having been transformed by magic, Eliza had some form of perfume on which was rich and floral. He pressed the key to the Elevator and then they boarded together.

Eliza took advantage of the small space, not pressing herself against him but lining her body up so he was keenly aware of their proximity and any small motion that he made would cause them to touch. It was only when the doors opened and they stepped out that Caleb realized he had been holding his breath the entire time.

When they got to the door of the suite, Caleb opened it and Eliza stood looking inside, “It’s smaller than I would have expected.”

Chuckling Caleb took a step inside, “Never something a guy wants to hear when he shows a pretty girl his room.”

Surprising given her attitude over the evening, Eliza blushed, “I just meant given your status as the Master I would have expected you to be living in the lap of luxury but I think your room is actually smaller than ours.” She made her way inside and sat at the corner of the bed.

“Yeah, this was Lucian’s thing. I can only get a bigger room by having you guys earn VP. He said it was a reflection on my capabilities as a Master and my ability to get you all to like me.” Caleb slipped off his shoes.

Eliza moved further onto the bed keeping an even look on Caleb, “It makes a sort of twisted amount of sense. If we like you we want to do things with you. How has that worked as motivation for you?”

Caleb turned away momentarily as he put his shoes up, “I don’t know. Would a bigger living space be nice? Sure. At the same time I’m not going to **** things on you all because I want a bigger bathroom. Ideally I’d want you guys to like me because I like yo-”

As he turned back around he was cut off by what he saw, Eliza had climbed into the bed and was laying down on it. She trailed her hand up her body, lifting her skirt just barely, exposed her black lace panties before reaching up and pulling open her top revealing her matching bra. She was looking at Caleb with a challenging expression as he felt all the air leave his body.

Caleb’s mouth opened and closed several times before he managed to sputter out, “Eliza! What are you doing?” He moved towards the bed

“Presenting myself for you, don’t you want to ravish me?” She grinned his way as a crimson blush began to fill her face.

“I’d be lying if I said it hadn’t crossed my mind but What are you doing? What about all that stuff about me being your student, or what about Lily, what about you being nervous after your divorce?”

Her face was turning crimson and her tone took on a mix of indignancy and embarrassment, “Maybe I’m over all that? Maybe I just want you to look at me, touch me, and feel good? Ever thought about that? Maybe that transformation made me lose my wits and now you have to take advantage of that?”

Caleb came next to her on the bed and his eyes widened, “It’s been you. It’s been you the whole time.”

She batted at his chest with her hands, she didn’t hit hard but her voice came out rough, “No! I’ve been transformed into a teacher slut and now you have to have your way with me”

Caleb grabbed her hands and held them against his chest in front of her and she stopped and looked at him with tears in her eyes, his voice was calm, “It’s been you the whole time, hasn’t it Eliza?”

“Damnit…” She wrested her hands from his grip and he let go as she wiped her eyes. There was a moment of silence as she recovered and then just nodded, “Yeah it’s been…mostly me the whole time.”

Eyebrow raised, Caleb tried to look her in the eyes, “What do you mean mostly?”

“Whatever this transformation is, it wants you to look at me, it’s like a Pavlovian response it feels good when I can tell you’re looking at me…that way.” She grabbed her shirt and began to redo her buttons, “But it’s still me at the steering wheel. But when I felt the transformation starting I thought…I thought maybe I could use it as a get-out-of-jail-free card. Pretend like it had actually turned me into…some woman who was willing to ignore all those things. Then if anyone got upset I could just say it was the card’s fault.”

“So it was an act you were putting on?” Caleb asked gently, the Eliza in front of him shaking as she explained herself stood at such a sharp contrast to the woman he felt he knew or the woman he had spent the majority of the evening with.

“No Caleb? Don’t you understand?” She looked at him pleadingly, “Maybe I showed you my breasts or ass more but this was me. How I wanted to act if I didn’t have to feel guilty about it. To just have a nice date with a handsome boy and just flirt and have a good time. I don’t get to do that though because I have obligations. Not just to other people but myself. If I really disregarded others like that I wouldn’t be able to live with my actions. I don’t expect you to understand”

Caleb exhaled, “No the problem is Eliza is that I do understand. When I cheated on Lily, it…it was me having a moment like that. I was unhappy with our relationship, but instead of communicating that, instead of owning up for myself or her I just sought to stop thinking and have a good time and I can tell you nothing good comes out of tricking yourself that way. Even if I hadn’t gotten caught by Lily…I would still hate myself to this day.”

He locked eyes with Eliza, “Don’t beat yourself up, you didn’t do anything wrong…you stopped before you did something you couldn’t live with.”

Eliza nudged him, “More like you stopped me from doing anything.”

“Yeah well…don’t be too proud of me because a certain part of me is very angrily protesting my actions.” He joked bashfully.

The professor leaned in and gently kissed him on the lips. Unlike Stella who had dominated his mouth, or Noemi who had channeled her aggression into her kiss, this was soft and gentle and sweet as her lips softly formed against his before she broke away.

Eliza - Kissed the Master! +1 VP

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear coyly before opening her mouth, “Maybe just that is fine for now?”

Caleb nodded, “I…yeah That was great”

Eliza giggled, “Should we try to maybe get some sleep?”

Nodding Caleb climbed into the bed next to the professor his back to hers as he turned out the light.

“Good night Caleb,” he heard from behind, “And thank you.”
