Jessie gave herself a final once-over in the full length mirror; it was vital that she looked her best. Today was the day she was going to go all out for Martin, she knew he would be at the fete, and this time she wasn't going to stop until he came home with her. It seemed like years that she had been flirting with him, and getting nowhere. And every time he turned her down she wanted him more. She fantasised about him, and no-one else. Just imagining sliding her hands under his shirt was enough to get her wet, and if she imagined him reciprocating, freeing her breasts from blouse and bra, flicking her nipples with his tongue...well, once she started thinking like that it didn't take long before her own fingers were pushing into her pussy, as she imagined they were his finger, or his tongue, or his cock. She had had some great orgasms that way. There was no denying it. But she wanted the real thing too. Even if it was almost bound to be disappointing. She just had to have him.
Strictly ordering herself not to drift into fantasy land she twirled in front of her reflection. Black denim skirt, reaching to mid-thigh. Not too slutty, not too prudish. Green sleeveless blouse, unbuttoned at the throat, with a hint of cleavage...her hair was bouncy and shiny, her legs were shaved, her nails were polished. She looked as good as she was ever going too. And she had new underwear on, a matching set in deep pink satin, with black lace. She felt good too. He would want this, dammit. Grabbing her purse, she swung out of the house. She had timed it carefully, everything would be in full swing by now. Plenty of people around, but not so crowded that she couldn't get close to him. She was ready!
She edged into the beer tent carefully, she didn't want anyone else to button-hole her before she got to Martin. She had done several wander-casually-past-glancing-through-the-door moves, hoping irrationally that he would make this easy by happening to come out as she did it; but obviously there had been no luck with that. So it was time for the more direct approach. In spite of her confidence in front of the mirror she felt her heart pounding as she sashayed to the bar, a couple of feet from him. She could see him out of the corner of her eye, turning, registering it was her. She was turning towards him crying 'Hi, fancy meeting you here!' almost before he had finished recognising her. She was more eager than she had planned to be, but that was the effect he had on her. He was smiling now, it was a devastating smile – at least to Jessie. She had never been able to adequately explain how this man, who was after all more than 20 years older than her (but in really, really good shape!) managed to press all of her buttons so intensely. She loved his self-confidence, which was immense. The impression of always knowing the right thing to do that oozed out of him. He could have been arrogant, but he wasn't. His muscles were like wood, she knew from various hugs and whatnot. He was strong, and fit and just...just Martin. She had given up trying to explain it, even to herself, he was just Martin and he made her hot, and wet and dizzy.
He bought her drink, she had known he would; they flirted, as they always did. He knew that she really wanted to get him into bed, she knew that he fancied her too. He was married, but she had never seen his wife, and by all accounts they weren't really close. He didn't sleep with her; she couldn't remember how she knew that, but she was perfectly certain of it. Not that it would have stopped her. The wife was just an excuse, when they got too close. This time she was determined not to accept it.
They bantered for a while, she admitted that she had come there expecting to see him; he said that he had kind of expected to see her. They laughed. OK girl, she told herself, time to go for it! Wishing she wasn't quite so nervous about it she reached out, slid her hand down his chest to his belt, paused for a moment, holding his eyes with hers. Then, slowly, slowly, let her hand drift downwards, cupping his balls through his jeans. 'Coming home with me?' she said, smiling.
'No.' It was still good-humoured, they had been here before. But she was changing the rules now. She began to rub, through his jeans, pressing hard and then soft. Feeling him stiffen beneath her hand. 'You know you want too.'
'I do.' He smiled, it was obvious he wanted too he seemed to be saying. There was a distinct bulge in his jeans when she took her hand away, his body couldn't lie. 'But I'm not going too.'
She shifted closer, pressing against him; another button on her shirt drifted open and the curve of her breasts was visible if he chose to look down. She tilted her head up towards his, her lips glistened where she had licked them. She kept rubbing, her other hand creeping up his chest to hs neck, meaning to pull him down into a kiss but he grasped her wrist. Reached down between them to take hold of the other one. Firmly, putting her away from him.
'You're lovely,' he breathed, his voice was a little ragged, 'and I'm sure i would enjoy it very much. But I told you no. I'm a married man.' It was what he always said, although she had never pushed so hard before, never been quite so brazen. He was still turning her down.
'You don't mean it,' she pouted. Twisting one hand free she groped for his belt-buckle.
For one moment she thought she had him, as the leather began to slide through the belt loops that pinned it but then he had hold of her wrist again; far tighter this time. 'Now that really is enough.' His voice was tight, with lust she was sure, but also, possibly, with anger. She tried to pull free again, but found that she could not. He had her secure. 'I have told you again and again. And while flirting is harmless you have gone way beyond that young lady.' He was telling her off she realised, like a naughty girl who had snuck out when she was grounded or something.
'Let go!' she demanded, intending to sound in-control, like the adult she was. But actually it sounded petulant, and almost like a challenge.
'I don't think so,' his voice was smooth, controlled. The bulge in his trousers had not gone away. 'I think I need to teach you a lesson, about what happens when you go too far.'
'I...I don't know what you mean.' This had gone in a direction she was not familiar with, and she didn't really understand what was happening. He was aroused, unquestionably. But that should have led to his leaving the beer tent with her, for an afternoon of delights in her bed. Instead he was still here, standing now, holding both of her wrists in one hand. He pulled her arms up above her head, his grip was still too firm for her to escape but she was frozen anyway. He looked her up and down, and smiled. To himself rather than her.
'A lesson,' he murmured, 'you know what that is. You have behaved in appropriately. And inappropriate behaviour gets punished, so that you learn not to do it again.'
