Katherine walked cautiously, hesitantly to Lee's apartment. She had climbed those stairs so many times in the past that she knew which were a little wobbly, which creaked more than the others, and that no matter how she tried to surprise him Lee would always be at the door before she knocked. She stood at the base of the cement steps this time in blank amazement because an intense fantasy of hers was about to be real, something so completely new to her that she barely could find words for what she felt. Tonight she would be a Domme.
She met Lee through some high school friends who had reunited through an Internet site, so the two of them had emailed a few months before they ever met. Without even knowing what he looked like, Katherine had known from Lee's emails that she wanted him as she had wanted no other. He wrote beautifully, with a rare spark and wit, and he was responsive to her in a fully direct yet appropriate, never presumptive, flirting style that aroused all her senses. Katherine had already fantasized about him, and had concluded that fantasy was all that would ever come of it since she had a husband to whom she was devoted, and Lee had a relationship, too. It didn't help that nearly a thousand miles were between their homes.
Somehow, she managed to drive there for the first gathering of the couple dozen reunited friends, to be held in a cozy downtown pub. Somehow, it happened that Lee would drive her initially to meet some of the friends then on to the pub to see the whole gang. What happened between those two events changed her life.
She had been prepared for Lee to plain looking or even much worse, but he was absolutely handsome and charming. Katherine couldn't hide her admiration of his looks, friendliness, conversational skills, breadth of knowledge, and the twinkle of sexual appetite in his eyes. Nearing forty, she was stunned to realize that when he looked directly at her she had to hide a blush, cover her willingness to be with him. She never once was sure if he found her attractive in "that" way or was just being pleasant. It was maddening, especially since Katherine's interest and excitement had peaked as it hadn't for a very long time.
Lee made some mention of needing to stop by a friend's house to get something, or do something, while the friend was away, so soon Katherine found herself alone with Lee in a small, comfortably romantic room. She wanted him so much but of course couldn't say so and besides felt rather foolish even admitting it to herself. Did she really jump when he offered to give her a back rub -- it felt like it, and did she even hesitate to remove her blouse? Regardless, quickly she was topless, face down on a cozy bed, with his warm, strong, knowing hands massaging her. She couldn't hide her increasing squirming and moans because his touch felt better than anything she could even remember. She didn't want to be "easy" yet here she was, only having met Lee a few hours earlier, and half naked, creaming for him.
The teasing became worse when he asked her to turn over. Lee truly was being extremely polite and respectful of typical boundaries, so much a sincere gentleman that it was maddening -- she wanted him to value her as a person but also to ravish her. Eventually it was painfully apparent to both of them that Katherine was writhing in readiness, yet neither would take the leap across pretending it was "only a friendly backrub" to something much more. Katherine finally whispered a plea she hoped he wouldn't find offensive, "Please kiss me softly."
Never before had a gentle kiss, touching only the far left side of her upper lip, electrify her entire body so much that it almost hurt. It sent her nearly to orgasm, restrained only by her desire not to go crazy from the surprise of the reaction and her all too obvious need for him. How fortunate for her that he had condoms with him because she doubted she would have been able to hold back even without them. That afternoon was terrifyingly delicious, erotically sensuous, and more orgasmic than she had ever been -- to an exponential degree. Thankfully, the pub that night was dimly lit and all her old and new friends were busy talking amongst themselves, too engrossed to notice her radiance from that glorious afternoon.
Whenever they could, whenever Katherine was in town, they were passionate lovers, exploring sex with each other in a truck, a redwood grove, slightly intoxicated, in bed, on a couch, against the kitchen counter, and everywhere possible. For Katherine it was always electrifying, not always as intense as that first kiss, that first afternoon, but usually.
