Winter blew a hard breeze into the foyer as she paused in the open doorway, appraising the men in the room, artfully flaunting her seductiveness. She turned slightly to shut the door, and an usher in a tux appeared at her side. “Let me get the door for you, ma’am, and may I take your coat?” She smiled, removed the wool cloak and handed it to him. This holiday gathering was planned at the last minute, and she wasn’t sure if He would be able to attend – last year, after watching her tantalize other guests with her alluring performance, He escorted her off on a staging of His own creation. It was indeed a memorable occasion.
In the pale chandelier lighting, her soft, round curves were an embracing silhouette in indigo blue silk while generous bell sleeves draped from gentle arms and ruffled layers flounced from waist to ankles, pearly white high heels underneath. Brilliant strands of mocha and cinnamon spiced through dark hair, spilling over shoulders in fluffy waves. A straight, delicate nose centered between defined cheekbones, covered in fair complexion, accented with deep blue eyes. Smooth, perfectly formed lips.
His piercing stare commanded her attention, ignited desire from someplace deep inside and when she glanced up, saw directly into His eyes. There He stood, alone at the bar, politely accepting a cognac from the waiter. She paused, watching, pondering what secrets were concealed beyond the tailored suit and starched white cotton oxford shirt. Unequivocally drawn, she started a sensuous passing through the crowd toward Him.
In the assembly, many others sought something, someone, in this shared invisible space where impassioned souls gathered. Physical absence provoked spiritual interaction that stirred sensation beyond imagination and nurtured emotions otherwise left dormant. Intellectual and exhilarating communiqué carved paths into each unique journey.
He knew the tranquil submissive hidden inside the sultry vixen – she was genuine, unpretentious, and her smile radiated what mere words could not articulate.
Tender, alluring, pleasing – decadent.
He craved her – there was no interest in youthful amateurs whom walked in shallow streams of barren wisdom. She stepped lightly around the room, offering pleasant greetings and genteel kisses. His keen eyes followed every move. She was not the youngest, nor the oldest – her manner serene and natural. She swayed her hips and shoulders in eloquent expression of her interpretation of the music – the way she moved was not unlike a dance of surrender, humble servant whispering appreciation of honorable safe haven. The gift entrusted respectfully, affectionately… if deserved.
He caught scent of warm spicy perfume as she passed by – an earthy blend of patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla musk. He reached out impulsively to caress her silky straight hair; she turned to look, smiled and leaned toward him. “One of my favorite things,” she said quietly, airy and sexy. “Is having a dominant man’s fingers caught in my hair.”
“Good,” He replied without hesitation. “Because I like twisting long tresses around my hands in a moment of passion.”
She smiled, and He gripped a length of fine hair between his fingers and pulled hard. The sudden yank sent tingling pulses from her scalp to her toes… and everywhere in between. He held the lock momentarily before letting it fall haphazardly back to her shoulder. It was as if they stood suddenly alone, amidst the crowd of strangers – in this single moment, He once again possessed her.
“You’ll come dance for me. A gift, for which to be thankful.” It was a calm, measured command – not a request. He glanced quickly at His watch, and continued, “I have an engagement and will return in three hours. Meet me at this address.”
He pressed a folded piece of textured stationary hard into her hand. “I expect you to be punctual,” he paused for about ten seconds, eyes studying the sultry figure before Him. “I trust you have appropriate attire for the occasion – in sheer silk, chiffon, something of the sort. You can be assured of mutual reward.”
She nodded, and He released her hand. “One last thing,” he breathed close to her face. “I like your dress.”
Intrigued, as always, by His imposing demeanor, she looked forward to dancing for Him. “Yes, Sir,” she whispered. “I will be there.”
December, mid-way to New Year’s Eve. Full moon lit up clouds, surrounded by darkness already at six o’clock. She went home, fed her cat, lit an array of candles, put classical piano music on the stereo. His persuasive voice rang in her head, “Come dance for me.”
Unzipped her dress, let it drop around her feet, stepped out of the silk material onto dove-colored carpet. Looking at her naked reflection in the mirror, she randomly danced red-tipped fingers light as feathers up and down… left hip circles, smooth transition of pelvis to right hip, circle… feet curl up and around, leg muscles following… stomach muscles tense as she turns, breasts sway like curved anchors.
Would her choreography please Him? “It is just another dance,” she lied to the reflection… but the seductress looking back would not be fooled. He knew what He wanted: His actions were well considered and deliberate. This was not just a dance.
At the dressing table, subtle nuances applied to flawless complexion. Smooth flesh lightly blushed with soft peach, blue eyes traced in thin black liner, dark lashes curled. Lips glossed in deep velvet red. Long hair swept up, held by a glittering amethyst hairpin.
Ivory breasts, peaked by large rose-hued nipples, set an exquisite stage for the center of her soft belly, to the round, shallow navel. She dabbed cotton inside, smiled upon inspection of the white, fluffy puff. She was especially attentive to her belly button – almost to obsession. She used peach-scented water, astringent toner, fragrant lotion, pure white talc and a spritz of woodsy perfume. Four tiny amethyst and diamond stones adorned the flesh around the circumference, held fast with removable body adhesive.
Crocheted lace bra fitted to enhance already-deep cleavage, and matching crocheted lace panties… string bikini, covering her shaven pubis and little else. White lace stockings fastened to a white lace garter.
She selected the violet-purple silk sarong skirt, twisting triangular layers into ends tied scarf-like at her waist. Black silk swathed creamy bosom and hooked in back, shoulder bare until she draped them in stark black, red and purple chiffon scarves. Black satin ballet slippers. Long strands of freshwater pearls poured into and over firm breasts. Silver bangles in abundance on each wrist – some with turquoise and onyx stones. Two silver ankle chains with monogrammed coins. Shimmering liquid silver earrings rained down to her shoulders – and a single diamond stud sparkled from the outside edge of her left ear.
She blew out the candles with a hint of breath, turned down the stereo, deciding to leave it on for the cat, wrapped her wool cloak around her, and left the studio apartment – locking the door securely behind her.
