He'd dared her, and he shouldn't have.
For months they'd chatted, trading stories and making each other hot and bothered (and much more) dozens of times. Finally, one afternoon, Dee had opened her mail to find a message from Jas. Expecting an opening gambit for that night's chat session, she'd instead read:
"Four Seasons. Room 1124. I dare you."
The only Four Seasons was in Charlotte, an hour or more drive away. From any of her other online lovers she would have dismissed this challenge and sent him a barely polite reply, but this one was different. She'd sensed a hunger in him over the months, and knew that she was the only one who could satisfy it. He'd made her hunger, too, with inventive stories and an ever-present passion that seemed to only burn brighter the longer they stayed in touch.
She got herself ready, packed a little bag of goodies and set out. If he was going to issue a dare, he'd better be ready to follow through. The hunter was soon to be the hunted.
After a remarkably quick drive, she pulled into the Four Seasons garage and took the elevator to the 11th floor. She quickly located the room and rapped on the door. There was a sense of motion on the other side of the door, then it opened. And there he stood. Well over six feet, bearded, with broad shoulders and eyes that widened when he realized his dare had been taken.
Before he could react, she stepped through the door, her right hand on his chest pushing him back while her left hand shut the door. She pushed him back until his knees hit the king-size bed and he was forced to sit. He'd been wearing a shirt and slacks, and as he sat, the material in the slacks outlined his already awakening cock.
"So, you came." he said, "I wasn't expecting you to. I figured I'd end up eating room service and going to sleep."
Dee smiled down at him as he sat, hands at his sides. "I'm full of surprises, but you already knew that."
He reached forward and encircled her with his arms. She was surprised at his strength as he pulled her to him, tumbling her onto the bed. He rolled her to the center, laying himself full-length beside her and resting his hand on her stomach. After all the months, all the teasing, all the heat ... to finally be close to each other was almost more than either of them could stand.
If asked later, neither of them would remember stripping. It was frenzied, with buttons being popped and zippers yanked in a rush neither had felt since their ages were counted in teens. Flesh against flesh was needed and, at last, found. They held each other for several minutes, as if confirming that they were each real and not fantasy.
