To Hawthorne Manor

Author note: Hey, I am back :D Chapters will be coming out weekly again until my next short break in December.

John walked through the corridors towards the gym but stopped. “Know what? Fuck that,” he muttered. “Not a chance I’m gonna be a jock punching bag today and it’s not gonna be the first time I’m in trouble for skipping gym.”

He turned on his heels and made a B-line for the exit of the school. His journey was luckily unhindered; he rushed through the halls, out of the school gates, and made it to the bus stop. Looking around there wasn’t anyone paying any attention to him, so he tapped on the bus stop to open the fast travel menu.

Fast Travel Locations:

Scratchwood
Springfield Mall

Lower East Side

John looked at the list. ’If I head to Vanessa’s place now, I’ll get to talk to Alison and probably have like over an hour before Vanessa shows up.’

Nodding, he tapped on Scratchwood causing another pop-up to appear.

Travel from your location to Scratchwood will remove $32 per person
Do you wish to fast travel to this location? Yes | No

John tapped Yes, and $32 lighter, he appeared behind a short hedge behind the bus stop. Checking the coast he paused, allowing a couple to pass before he walked the short distance from the hedge to the large gates to the private community, which were shut tightly.

Passing the gate he approached the smaller pedestrian entrance. He looked up and down the list of resident names before pushing the buzzer for the Hawthorne Estate.

“Hawthorne residence, how may I help you?” an older man’s voice came through the speaker.

“Uh, yeah. I’m John Newman, I’m supposed to be tutoring Vanessa in Spanish. I’m a little early but I was hoping it would be okay if I waited for her in the study, where we did our session last time,” John said, crossing his fingers.

“Ah yes, the young miss mentioned that you would be visiting. I will unlock the gate for you now, and the pedestrian entrance to the house will be unlocked upon your arrival,” the voice replied.

A mechanical thunk rang out as the lock disengaged. “Thanks,” John called, as he passed through the gate and made his way towards the Hawthorne's mansion. Halfway down the street, John stopped and stared at a large ornate wooden and metal gate. Smiling as he remembered the art session he’d had with June and Alison just beyond.

He sighed, shook his head and sped off, arriving at his destination in no time. He passed through the gate and approached the large wooden doors at the front of the building. As he reached up to knock, the doors opened, and standing on the other side was an older man wearing a suit, gesturing inside. “Good afternoon, young sir. Would you need an escort to the study?”

John smiled at the guy. “Oh, thanks but I remember my way. I should be fine making my own way there, I wouldn’t want to be a bother to you.”

The man nodded his head, closed the door behind John and then walked away through an archway and out of sight. John looked around the very empty foyer, it was like the entrance of a fancy theatre or hotel and any small noise seemed to echo slightly. Quickly he headed up the staircase and followed the hallway towards Alison’s room.

He approached her door, but his smile fell as he heard voices. “- feeling well. If you told me, I could have stayed home to take care of you.” John heard the muffled voice of Vanessa.

“Because I knew you’d try exactly that. I’m fine. It's just a bit of a headache, nothing to worry about,” Alison assured. Her voice was a little clearer, as he pressed his ear against the door.

“You said you’ve been feeling tired and haven’t left the bed, how is that fine? Can I at least do something to help? I could run you a bath? I could go make you something to eat? I could get you a cold or warm damp cloth? Anything?” Vanessa was almost pleading.

“Vanessa, really. It's just some sore muscles and a headache, I’m fine. If I need anything, I promise I will call or text you. I just really wish you hadn’t skipped classes, you are going to get yourself into trouble.” Alison scolded.

John heard a sigh, much closer to the door than he expected before Vanessa replied, “Okay, fine. Make sure you-”

Not wanting to get caught spying, John quickly and quietly rushed off in the direction of the study. After sitting in one of the chairs at the desk, John pulled out his phone.

< J: I got out of school early, I thought it wouldn’t be too much trouble to come to your house so I wouldn’t be late. Your butler guy let me in so I’m waiting in the study >

The reply was a minute or so later.

< V: What? You’re here already? Why? Don’t you have Gym with Frank? >

< V: Actually, I don’t care. Just get to my room >

John rolled his eyes, then stood and walked to Vanessa’s room. He knocked on the door and waited, with no answer. He knocked harder but still got no answer. Assuming she must be in the bathroom, not there yet or something else, John opened the door and began to enter but froze.

Vanessa was through the archway to her bedroom, bent over at the waist, her skirt flipped up allowing John to see everything from her twitching asshole to her glistening pussy, before she slowly, almost sensually pulled a pair of panties up, which hitched for a moment on her underbun.

John heard a noise coming from the hallway and almost slammed the door, causing Vanessa to scowl and scoff as her head snapped around.

“You know you’ve seen me naked, right? You don’t need to sneak into my room to peek at me. Unless you’re into that or something? I wouldn’t be surprised, you’re such a virgin pervert,” she said, laughing as she turned around.

John gritted his teeth at the virgin comment, but a smirk grew on his face. “You know, you don’t need to pretend not to hear me knocking, so I’d walk in for you to flash me, right?”

Vanessa froze momentarily like a deer caught in the headlights, then straightened herself out. “As if! Why would I want to flash you? You’re just some nerd I’ve been toying with.”

John sighed and rolled his eyes before walking towards the couch on the lounge side of her room, sitting down facing away from the cheerleader. “Okay, sure, if you say so. Honestly, I don’t really care. Mind if we start this lesson early? The sooner we get done, the better. I’ve got some other stuff to do today.”

John couldn’t see Vanessa, but while he pulled out his Spanish books, he could hear her click her tongue. “You know, most guys would kill to be in my room or to get a peek under my skirt, and here you are getting both, and all you can think about is doing a Spanish lesson. Unless you’re trying to play out some teacher-student roleplay shit with all this?”

John looked over his shoulder at Vanessa, who’d moved closer to him. “I’m meeting Ellie after this and we were planning on spending the day together. The sooner I finish here, the sooner I get to meet up with her.”

Vanessa stretched her arms behind her back, forcing her chest out, and let out a yawn. “Fine, fine… Hey, so I’m kinda stressed… How about instead of doing this bullshit, we just say we did but don’t… and maybe you wanna help a girl out? I’ve got plenty of toys that I could use, but this way I could just lay on my bed and have you make use of your tongue.”

“Can you only think of sex or something? It seems that you went from hating my guts and setting your lapdog on me, to wanting to make things sexual any opportunity you can,” John faux complained. He’d have to be an idiot to actually be upset about getting sex over being bullied.

“Why are you bitching about it? It’s a win-win for both of us. You get to fuck the hottest girl in school, and I get to deny Frank, teaching him a lesson for trying to humiliate me.” Vanessa scowled.

John was about to argue back but realised it was stupid and this worked in favour of the idea he’d had earlier on. “You know what, fine. Sit on the coffee table,” he ordered.

Vanessa moved over to the coffee table and tossed the Spanish books and his folder on the couch, before sitting where they previously were, facing John. The almost predatory grin she had dropped into confusion as she watched him tip his bag upside down and empty it out onto the couch next to him.

Raising an eyebrow Vanessa asked, “What are you doing?”

“I needed space in my bag to grab some supplies. Stay sitting there until I come back,” John demanded, as he stood. He walked around the couch and through the archway to Vanessa’s room. Before Vanessa could get her wits back and ask more questions, John had vanished into her walk-in closet.

Knowing where to look for Vanessa’s toys, he opened up his backpack, storing a pink set of leather hand restraints, rope and a remote control vibrator. He then pulled the UI Collar from his inventory. As soon as it appeared, the chime of the bell rang out; it wasn’t too loud but the sound wasn’t bell-like at all. It reminded him of wind chimes, a tuning fork, or most like the singing bowls he’d seen online. The tone of the bell was lower than he’d expected but still high enough that it wasn’t completely unnatural from a bell that size. He made sure that the resonating chime rang out loud enough for Vanessa to hear, but cut it short as he tossed the collar into his bag.

He made his way back into the lounge area of Vanessa’s room, where he found her sitting on the table, but she’d moved to allow her legs to face the opening of the U-shaped couch. Her legs were slightly parted and John assumed it was because she wanted to expedite getting off.

Without speaking, John placed the bag on the floor and pulled out the rope. Vanessa’s eyes widened slightly upon seeing it. “You don’t expect to put that stuff on me again, do you? It’s like you’re obsessed with it!”

Smiling, John began tying the rope around Vanessa’s mid-thighs, with a small amount of wiggle room. He grabbed one of the small pillows on the couch and placed it in front of the table. “Do me a favour, kneel down on the pillow facing the table.”

“Why should I? And how the hell are you going to eat me out or anything while my legs are tied together?” Vanessa questioned.

John let out a sigh. “Do you want me to continue or do you want to just get on with a normal Spanish lesson?”

Vanessa let out a huff and did as John asked. John pulled the rope under the coffee table, forcing Vanessa to shuffle a little closer to it. Then he went back into the backpack and pulled out the restraints. Without having to say anything, Vanessa held her hands out, while she rolled her eyes in an exaggerated way.

John secured them around Vanessa’s wrists before taking the rope and treading it under the restraints and pulling it tight. This caused Vanessa to stretch her arms out over the table, forcing her into a position where she was essentially lying on the table with her ass sticking out.

Finally, he pulled out the collar. Opening the clasp, he knelt in front of Vanessa, putting it around her neck and fastening it.

“Wow, getting a little into it, aren’t you? Did you go out and buy this especially for me?” Vanessa asked in a condescending tone.

John looked at her in feigned confusion, tilting his head slightly. “What are you talking about? It was in your toy collection. If anything, I should be asking you that question.”

Vanessa’s smug expression dropped into confusion and slight worry. “No, it isn’t mine. I have plenty of toys and stuff, but I definitely haven’t ever had a collar like this.”

John shrugged. “Okay, sure. Well, it isn’t mine and I found it in your collection so… Actually, it doesn’t matter anyway. It’s time to start the fun, don’t you think?” As he said that he pulled out the last thing in the bag, the vibrator, and set it on the right edge of the table.

The worry and confusion left Vanessa’s face as a pleased smirk appeared. “Okay, I’ll pretend your collar is mine then. And this might not be exactly what I was hoping for but it will do… I suppose.”
