The Teacher's Affair

Chapter 5 Be His Mom

She couldn’t avoid it; the man’s imposing figure was right in front of her. From this close distance, his chiseled face was clearly covered with a thin layer of sweat. She couldn’t help but think about the sweaty nights when he had claimed her completely.

Jack held Ruby’s chin, his wet fingertips feeling scorching hot, as if he wanted to melt her. He only needed to be an inch closer to kiss her. He had wanted to kiss her lips several times, but she always avoided him. He had tasted almost every part of her body, except for those red lips. Thus, her lips were the most tempting thing about her to him.

Gently, he caressed her chin, his gaze flickering between her lips.

“If you’re so upset, why don’t you become his mother, huh?” he murmured in his hoarse voice.

“Asshole!” Ruby hissed as her eyes widened.

She tried to push Jack away, but he easily grabbed her wrists and held them behind her back. Her small strength felt like nothing against him. Ruby’s heart raced rapidly at the realization of her helplessness. She couldn’t think of what else to do to escape Jack’s intense grip.

“Let me go, Jack!” Ruby exclaimed, which made Jack smile wickedly.

“So now you’re using my name, huh, Teacher Red?”

His large hands quickly moved around Ruby’s waist, easily slipping under her thin blouse. Ruby tried to avoid his touch, but her strength was insufficient, especially as Jack moved even closer, pressing her against the rope and making her feel as though her body was floating in the air.

“Oh my god!” Ruby cried out, quickly wrapping her arms around Jack’s neck as she feared she was about to fall.

“I still like you to wear skirts, Teacher Red. You look more respectable in skirts than these pants,” Jack uttered in his hoarse voice.

The two of them have only one purpose every time they meet, and this is what they go for. Skirts are indeed more convenient and can add more fun, but Ruby has always kept a clear distinction between personal life and work.

Ruby couldn’t even move or utter any word, especially when Jack’s fingers fell on the zipper of her jeans. Ruby gasped when Jack licked her earlobe slowly and gently.

“Do you want to do it here, Teacher Red?”

“Let me go!” Ruby shouted firmly, raising her left knee to press against Jack’s stomach, but he quickly caught her leg.

Her slippers fell off, and her toes, painted with red nail polish, curled up slightly. Ruby Red is a very contradictory person. She is gentle and kind to her students but cold and distant towards the opposite s*x. Everyone praises her as a teacher.

Ruby noticed Jack's intense gaze at her. She wanted to stab his eyes with her thoughts because she knew what was running through his mind.

Jack was the only one who truly understood how beautiful she looked whenever they were together, in stark contrast to the persona she presented to other teachers and her students. From the moment Jack first saw her, he seemed captivated, eager to know her more deeply. Ruby Red intrigued him to the point where he agreed to her terms without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Ruby felt lost, unsure of what to do. Her back ached from trying to balance herself, so she finally grasped Jack's neck with one hand while holding onto the rope with the other.

“Mr. Beaufort, let me go, please,” she said calmly, but he just grinned at her.

Instead of letting her go, Jack tightened his grip around her waist, causing Ruby to gasp in surprise.

Jack lowered his head and touched the tip of her nose, breathing on her face as he spoke. His voice was filled with a kind of confusion, like a demon gradually eroding her sanity. His rough hands caressed the soft flesh of her waist, and he deliberately lowered his voice.

“My bed is bigger than the one in the hotel. Do you want to try it?”

Ruby’s cheeks flushed red. Although they had flirted back and forth in the past, this was the first time they were flirting like this. But before she could lose her sanity, she shook her head firmly.

“I’m here for a home visit, Mr. Beaufort, not for what you’re thinking.”

Jack's mischievous grin widened even more. It seemed he was genuinely enjoying teasing her.

"Really now? Maybe you want to make me the reason for your visit here," Jack said, his voice laced with a challenging tone.

Ruby’s face turned even redder at his words. It felt like he was deliberately trying to provoke her and test the limits of her resistance.

Her cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were sharp. “I’m here to work, Mr. Beaufort.”

She met Jack’s provocative gaze directly. They stared at each other for a long moment. Jack realized he wasn’t going to tame her today, so he just nodded and smiled at her.

“Fine, Teacher. I’m going to take a shower. Would you like to join me?” he teased her one last time, finally loosening his hold on her.

Ruby just glared at him and let out an exasperated sigh as she finally freed herself from his embrace. She quickly left the boxing ring and headed for the elevator. Before the door could close, Jack jammed his large hand in to stop it and followed her in. He pressed the button for another floor, and the door closed behind them. Inside the confined space, Ruby stood rigidly and stared at the door, avoiding any chance of meeting Jack’s piercing gaze and causing further ambiguity. Before the door opened again, she was already preparing to rush out, but Jack pressed the closing button to prevent it from opening.

Her brow furrowed as she turned to him, clearly irritated.

“Mr. Beaufort, I hope this will be the last time you do something like this while I’m working. I’m afraid others might misunderstand me. Whatever happened between you and your wife is none of my concern. I don’t want to ruin a family,” Ruby said seriously.

Jack clenched his jaw while staring at her. No matter how much Ruby might want to be involved in his life as a casual affair, he still didn’t want to be her affair.

“So, you regret it?” Jack asked.

“Yes,” Ruby answered without hesitation. “If I had known you were married a long time ago, I would never have chosen you.”

Ruby immediately sensed a shift in the atmosphere as Jack’s demeanor darkened. His eyes became cold, and his voice turned icy.

“Then who are you going to choose?”

But Ruby didn’t flinch.

“Anyone, but a married man,” she declared.

Ruby opened the door, letting in a bright light. Jack just watched her leave, dazed, before heading up the elevator to his bedroom. His trusted housekeeper, who watched him with a smile but still maintained respect, observed him quietly.
