Though the instruction seemed strange, I followed his directions and lay on the yoga mat with my legs extended.

Liam Ray pressed down on my knees gradually, his face getting closer.

Although this position made me uncomfortable, as my legs stretched further apart, the increasing pain from the stretch left me unable to resist.

Finally, with my legs pressed flat against the floor, Liam Ray's face was inches from between my legs, close enough that I could feel the warmth of his breath.

Looking down, I realized my thin leotard was stretched so tight it had become almost see-through.

Mortified, I instinctively covered myself with my hands.

"Stay still, arms out. Stop fidgeting - dancers shouldn't have these unnecessary movements!"

Hearing Liam Ray's instruction, I could only bite my lip and extend my arms.

But my mind was racing - why couldn't it be a female instructor?

Even if Liam Ray was professional, this close contact didn't seem appropriate.

Especially in such an uncomfortable position!

Then Liam Ray changed position, using his knees to hold my legs, his arms pressing mine down, leaning over me as he moved slightly, "Chest up, deep breaths, follow my rhythm, 1-2-3-4..."

I couldn’t take it anymore! This position kept pressing against my sensitive spot, it felt almost like having sex.

Plus I couldn’t wear undergarments beneath my practice outfit, so every time I took a deep breath, my body briefly made a close contact with his.

But, after being scolded earlier, I didn't dare to complain and just tried my best to continue.

“Mr-Mr. Ray... can we change position? I can't hold it anymore...”

“How long has it been? Other girls can hold it for half an hour," Liam Ray moved off me, "Your back muscles are too tight. Let me stretch them for you.”

Without giving me a chance to refuse, he flipped me over, grabbed my waist with both hands and pulled upward in quick motions, making every muscle and joint in my body feel sore and numb.

With my dancer's flexibility from years of practice, he pressed down on my lower back to position me into the form he wanted.

“Keep your chest up, tighten your core, and lift,” Liam Ray pressed his lower abdomen against my rear, grabbing both my arms and pulling them back forcefully.

“Ouch! Please be gentle...” I said.
