This chapter explores a woman's return to partnered intimacy after a long time alone. What begins as a nervous first encounter turns into a raw, vulnerable journey into surrender, craving, and the erotic ache of being wanted -- and denied.
This is a standalone story, but part of a wider theme I'm exploring. If it lands well, there may be more from these two.
She didn't knock straight away. She stood frozen, staring at the 304 like it might vanish if she dared to blink. The hallway buzzed--fluorescent lights flickering overhead, harsh in that cheap, too-real way. Her legs trembled. One more step, and she'd go down. She was sure of it. She was sure the dress had become tighter during the journey here.
Part of her wanted to flee. How could he want her? What if he didn't want her in the end? What if he took one look at her and decided he wasn't up for it? She couldn't face the rejection. He could have anyone he wanted. He had had anyone he wanted. He'd been with women who looked like they belonged on magazine covers. She was not. Why did he want her?
But the other side of her wanted to stay. Ached for his touch--skin against skin, real and electric. Wanted it to be him that broke the spell of time since she had taken a cock in her pussy. 12 years. She had been considering breaking that for a long time. But she hadn't found a man she could trust. Yet, for some reason, this was someone she felt she could rely on.
Her phone vibrated:
No pressure. But if you knock, I won't let you go until you forget your name.
She read it once.
Then reached up and knocked. Her hand hadn't even returned to her side when the door opened. He stood there smiling. Soft, friendly. But there was heat behind it. Hunger barely leashed. He stepped aside, silent, making space for her to cross the threshold.
As she passed him, the scent hit her. Warm. Clean. Sharp at the edges--like soap, skin, and something darker underneath. Not cologne. Not perfume. Just him. Like a man who knew exactly how to touch her. Her knees almost buckled. She took a few steps inside, then stopped and turned.
He pushed the door--it clicked nearly shut behind him--then crossed the space between them in one smooth step. His body met hers--solid, warm, unignorable. He paused, eyes searching hers. Waiting. Her lips parted just slightly. That was all he needed.
He kissed her--slow, sure, claiming.
Breathless, she pulled back just enough to search his face. Looking for doubt. Hesitation.
There was none.
"You made it,"
he said, voice low. Steady.
A shaky breath slipped out of her--half relief, half nerves.
"I almost didn't."
He smiled--small, knowing.
"But you did."
Then he kissed her again--deeper this time. His tongue found hers, slow and deliberate. They moved together like they'd done this a thousand times in dreams. Not rushed. Just... inevitable.
She suddenly realised she hadn't moved--just stood there, letting him kiss her, breath shallow, body locked. Coming back to herself, unsure, she let her hands drift forward, hesitant, until they found his hips. Warm. Solid. Real. She exhaled as her fingers settled there, grounding herself in him.
This time, it was he who pulled away first.
"I'm not going to push you further than you want to go,"
he said, voice low, steady.
"I know,"
she whispered.
"It's not that."
He waited, watching her--patient but focused. She exhaled, and then everything spilled out.
"Remember what I told you a few weeks ago? About not getting why you'd want me? When you could have--"
Her hands fluttered helplessly.
"Women who are confident, stunning, who know how to be sexy and don't flinch every time someone touches them."
Her voice started to break.
"And then there's me--awkward, in my own head, picking apart every inch of myself, hoping the lights are off so I don't have to see the look on your face when--"
He kissed her. Hard. It cut her off mid-sentence. No warning. No lead-in. Just his mouth on hers--demanding, silencing. Telling her enough. She froze for a second. Then, melted--because the kiss wasn't cruel. It was intentional. He kissed her like he was trying to erase every bad thought she'd ever had about herself. As if she were the only thing he wanted.
His hand moved to the front of her dress, fingers brushing the zipper below her collarbone. He paused against her lips, then tugged the zipper down just a little. She sighed into his mouth, her body softening against him, lips parting with a quiet moan.
That sound--needy, unguarded--was enough. He kept going. Slowly, deliberately, he drew the zipper down to her stomach. The fabric parted, falling open to reveal the red lace she'd promised him.
He pulled back just enough to look. To really see her. He kept his hand on her hip so that she felt reassured. The way the red lace clung to her flushed skin hit him like a punch.
She stood there, half undone, breathless.
"You're unreal,"
he murmured, lips brushing hers.
As their mouths moved, he slid the zipper all the way down, his hands pushing the fabric from her shoulders. The dress slipped, pooling at her feet. His lips found her neck warm and open. He kissed along her throat, slow and reverent, while one hand rose to trace the lace over her breasts--fingertips lingering, learning her shape.
She arched into the touch without thinking, breath catching in his mouth.
This time, he stepped back fully, his eyes sweeping over her. Red lace hugged her curves like it had been made just for her--bold against her skin, delicate over the swell of her breasts. The bra framed her perfectly, a whisper of transparency teasing what it didn't quite reveal, and the matching panties clung to her hips like a secret worth keeping.
She looked breathtaking. And completely, undeniably, his.
He stepped back in, close enough that her breath caught. One hand slid around her waist, the other brushing her hair aside as he leaned in, his mouth at her ear.
"Spread your legs for me,"
he murmured--low, steady, not asking.
A shiver ran through her. She obeyed.
