I'm just about to call to see if something's happened to you when I hear you at the front door. "Hi, baby," I hear you say, "sorry I'm late." I watch you approach, admiring that beautiful face and body of yours and you put your arms around my neck and lean down and we kiss tenderly, as we always do when we've been apart for any length of time and are reunited. "What kept you?" I ask. "I was beginning to worry."
You roll your eyes. "I had to stop at the Post Office. You know what a pain that is."
"I do. A nightmare. We'll be better off when's it's gone."
You stroke the hair at my temple and look at me mischievously. "So, baby, what game would you like to play this evening? Hmm?"
I think for a moment. There are so many we enjoy playing. Which haven't we played in a while? Of course, it's one of our favorites and it's been a while since we've played it and you love playing it and do so well. I smile up at you. "I'll meet you there." I see you're eyes brighten and you grin and squirm in delight. I know that just the mention of playing this game has thrilled you and that you're probably already wet and your nipples hard.
"I can't wait, baby," you say gleefully.
"I know you can't." You turn and I watch you walk quickly to the bedroom to get dressed, wiggling your ass for me as you do. I don't even try to return to writing. I'm too distracted wondering how you will prepare yourself to look this time. You have so many different outfits and looks, all of them enough to make another man come in his pants just looking at you.

The waterfront bar in Newport Beach isn't crowded and I see a woman sitting by herself at the bar and that the stools on either side of her are unoccupied. Even at a distance she looks straight out of a 1940s noir film and the closer I get, the more she does. She's wearing a skintight black cocktail dress cut low in the back and black nylon stockings with thick seams in the back and black heels. Her outfit is topped off with a beret-like black hat atop her French twist and I see as I near her that the hat has a black fishnet veil attached in front that's covering her face. It's the part of her ensemble that fascinates and excites me the most and I find it hard to take my eyes off it as I arrive at her side and ask politely, "Anyone sitting here?" She turns her head slowly toward me and looks me up and down. I study her as she does. Her face is artfully made up: her arcing eyebrows are carefully defined, her eyelids are brushed just the right shade of light purplish blue to compliment the skin color of her face and her dark brown eyes, her black eyelashes are like upward-curving fans, long and the lashes separated, her blood red lipstick has been applied perfectly and her cheeks are rouged just enough to make her look like she's blushing naturally. Her expression is a mixture of supreme boredom. I see that she has beautiful large breasts and marvelous cleavage and that the bodice of her dress barely covers her nipples. I glance at her fingernails and toenails nestled in the open toes of her shoes and see they're blood red, too. I also notice her wedding band. She has trouble written all over her. I see her right eyebrow rise slightly.
"Do you see anyone?" she asks with a hint of disdain in her voice.
"Mind if I join you?"
"It's a public place," she says, turning her head away and picking up her martini glass. "Do as you please."
As I pull back the stool and sit, I watch the way she slowly raises the veil to sip her drink and then replaces it after she has and puts her glass gently on the bar. She moves gracefully and I can only imagine what that body of hers looks like when she walks. "I'm Dave." She looks at me like she's looking right through me and finally focuses on my eyes.
"Lana," she says, looking away.
"Nice to meet you. If you don't mind my asking, what's an elegant woman like you doing in a bar all by herself." She turns her head slowly toward me again and I can see by her expression that she minds very much my asking. She gazes coolly at me for a moment and I'm not at all sure what she's about to say.
"I've been cooped up in the house all day. I needed a change of scenery."
"Live around here?"
"Balboa Island," she says with a hint of condescension in her voice and her expression.
The bartender arrives and I order a dry vodka martini. "Must be a nice house."
"Very."
"Big?"
"E-norm-ous," she says, drawing out the word and giving all three syllables equal stress to emphasize the point.
I glance at her wedding band again. "What does your husband do?"
"Nothing. He doesn't have to. He's wealthy."
"Good for him, and you. Family money, or did he earn it?"
"He earned it. He was an investor. That was a long time ago."
I'm pretty sure, based on this information, that her husband is much older than she and she's a trophy wife. "Is he an older man?"
"Much. He's 82 and in poor health. He's spends his days in a wheelchair with a cannula in his nose and an oxygen tank at his side. He requires round the clock care. There's always someone with him."
"That doesn't sound like very much fun for you."
"It isn't," she says and lifts her veil and brings her glass slowly to her lips and sips and puts the glass slowly down on the bar and replaces her veil.
I like they way she pursed her lips just before the rim of the glass touched them. There was something very sexy about the way she did it and, of course, I'm imagining her doing the same thing just before the tip of my cock touches her lips and she gives it a kiss, not that it will ever happen. This woman is prickly and barely approachable and it doesn't seem I'm ever going to break the ice with her. Still, those pursed lips of hers kissing the tip of my cock is a nice image. It doesn't sound like she and her husband have sex and I'm curious why such a beautiful young woman is married to an 82-year-old man in poor health. I want to dig deeper into the subject of sex, but have to approach it very carefully with her. "How long have you been married?"
"A year."
"Sounds like it's been a lonely year for you." Until now she's looked at me coolly, but now she looks at me icily and I can see that even the merest hint that I want to discuss her personal life is an affront to her. I study her eyes as she looks at me and, again, have no idea what she's about to say. I see her right eyebrow rise slightly again.
