"The thing about Amy," Jay said over his shoulder, "is there's more to her than meets the eye."
"What do you mean?" I was intrigued by what Jay was telling me about his long-time, female friend.
"Well," continued Jay, "she's a nice looker, for sure, but that's not her real talent. She's a bit kinky."
"Amy? Really?" I was not buying what Jay was trying to sell. We had ordered drinks in our favorite watering hole, and Jay had bought the first round in order to maintain my attention.
"Yeah. Seriously. I'm not kidding." Jay emphasized his words by leaning in closer. "Kind of surprising what lurks under the surface." He paused just a bit too long for effect. "She is obsessed with jacking guys off. And when I say obsessed, I am not exaggerating."
"Bullshit." I was used to Jay and his crazy stories.
"No, really, man. Hand jobs are her 'thing,' and she likes to do it. A lot. And repeatedly. She even has a name for it. She calls herself a 'masturbatrix.'" Jay pronounced the word slowly and with purpose. "The chick is proud of it."
I blinked, shook my head, and leaned forward in my chair. "Come again?"
Jay smiled and slowly pointed his index finger right into my face. "Exactly. Exactly right," he said with a smirk.
"Ha, ha. Very funny." I still thought Jay was feeding me a line of crap. The bartender handed Jay our beers and he began walking to a nearby booth.
As he walked, Jay continued with his sales pitch about Amy's proclivities. "She won't take 'no more' for an answer. She jacks you off, and then she jacks you off again. And maybe even again after that. And you really don't care because she's superbly talented. She makes you want it over and over again anyway."
I truly did not believe what I was hearing. "Let me get this straight," I said. "This friend of yours, this Amy, this, 'good person for me to meet under the circumstances', she's a... what... an easy lay?"
"No. Definitely not. Not at all." Jay shook his head and sat our drinks on the table in the booth, smiling benignly at my confused look. "Sit down. You are not listening. It's not about sex. It's about control. She loves having control over a man. She does it for pure enjoyment, not to have sex or even for money. She's not a professional. In a sense she's an amateur, but that's the wrong word. I'm making her sound inexperienced. In point of fact, she's a fucking expert; a superbly-skilled, refined, expert at jacking off guys, and she's looking forward to meeting you. Here. Tonight."
Fortunately, I didn't have a mouthful of beer or I would have choked. "What the hell, Jay! Just what have you told her about me? What have you arranged?"
Jay sat across from me and took a draw on his bottle. "Don't worry, nothing indiscreet, nothing incriminating. Only your first name, and that you're a friend of mine. I've known Amy a long time, and we hang out sometimes. We drink; we gossip. I've told her how much you've bragged to me over the years about your supposed multiple orgasms. How you say you can cum sometimes two or three times when you fuck. She's really into things like that. And I haven't really 'arranged' anything at all. I just suggested that you two might like to get to know each other, no more than that."
I was annoyed. "If you think that I'm going to just meet up with a total stranger for sex --!"
Jay was quick to cut me off. "No, no, I've told you already; she doesn't fuck, she's a masturbatrix. She positively isn't interested in screwing you. Believe me; I've tried to get in those pants more than once. She's wonderful. I love spending time with her, and she gives off this incredible, sexy, vibe. But she only likes to... no, 'likes' is too much of an understatement; she's totally obsessed with dicks, with playing with them, teasing them, making them stiff as hell, and relentlessly and mercilessly jacking them off. You have to experience it to believe it."
I put my drink down. My knee-jerk protests died away as Jay's description of Amy began to sink in. Thinking of the whole idea was starting to get to me - somewhere in my groin area, actually. The prospect of meeting this person, this Amy, was becoming a whole lot more interesting. "But what does she get out of it?" I persisted, still with some doubts.
"Yeah," continued Jay, "I've wondered that too. It seems to be like a personal mission of hers. She's driven to go on and on until you've really -- and I mean really - had enough. Then she just leaves you and goes home."
I shook my head in disbelief with a look on my face that clearly expressed my distrust in what Jay was saying.
"Yeah, I know, it's weird as hell. She once told me, when I really pressed her, that she re-lives her best experiences as fantasies when she's by herself. Gets off on it, I suppose. Prefers it that way. Go figure." Jay sat back and smiled. "So, what are you gonna do?"
I opened my mouth, but I will never be able to remember what I was about to say to Jay, because at that moment the door to the bar opened and an eye-poppingly attractive woman walked in. After glancing in our direction, she began waving to Jay.
"And there she is -- speak of the devil. Excuse me a moment." As I watched, Jay walked over to the woman and gave her a big hug. Was this Amy? I felt my heart begin to pound. Was I ready for this? I had brief fantasies of retreating to the bathroom and escaping out of the window into the alley. But the two of them stood between me and that route of escape. I was cornered, and I was not going to be able to walk out without being noticed or incredibly rude.
Too late; here they came, their conversation too muffled to make out. Jay said something about having somewhere else to be. I stood up as Jay gave me a wink over the woman's shoulder and said his goodbyes as he sped, maybe a bit to quickly for my comfort, out of the bar. The two of us were alone.
"Hello, I'm Amy. You must be Scott." She was petite, but fit and toned, with her red hair in a loose knot on the top of her head. She looked in her late thirties. Quite pretty in an elfish sort of way with an angled face, nice cheekbones, vividly blue eyes, and strong smile creases outlining her mouth.
"Uh, hello." I stammered awkwardly. "Yes, I'm Scott. Very nice to meet you. Jay's told me a lot about you." My response sounded absurdly and inappropriately formal, given what Jay had just told me. She held out her hand. I almost flinched, imagining she was reaching straight for my cock. But fortunately, I realized she was just responding in kind to my formality. I felt like an total idiot as I reached to clasp her hand. "Would you like something to drink, Amy?"'
We held the handshake for what seemed just a moment too long, then she turned to remove her coat and sit, and I took the opportunity to admire her petite figure and especially her ass as she leaned over to place her coat on the chair. Most any man with a pulse would find her attractive, not just her looks, but also an apparent warmth and directness that immediately spoke to me. But how much were my feelings being influenced by what Jay had just told me about her?
Jay had given me no sense of an agenda beyond meeting for drinks. He had made it clear this was not dinner or a date. I was beginning to panic and expect an awkward and uncomfortable evening between two strangers with little in common, the time filled with stilted silence. I was completely wrong. After a few minutes of conversation, I was relieved to find Amy and I were surprisingly well-matched. Our discussion soon felt oddly familiar, talking together as if it were the most natural thing. I realize now that it wasn't because of me. It was primarily Amy. She had an ease about her and a knack for conversation. It made me incredibly comfortable from the very start. She commanded respect and easily directed our discussion to a variety of topics. She was obviously intelligent and able to speak knowledgably about most any topic. Now, I don't remember any of the details of what we talked about, but I do remember feeling stimulated -- intellectually and not just between my legs. Amy was expertly seducing my brain. She made me forget why Jay had suggested we get together in the first place.
After an hour or more, I was so relaxed I decided to be bold and try to take control of the situation. I abruptly changed the subject and asked, "Would you like to come over to my place for a cup of coffee? I only live a few blocks away."
Amy smiled and did not miss a beat. "I'd love to," she said, "but I will warn you that I expect quite a bit from a cup of coffee. Exactly what type of equipment do you have?" There was a glint in her eye as she paused and looked directly at me with a wry smile.
Her innuendo went right over my head. "Oh, I grind my own beans with an Italian burr grinder. I've got an espresso machine or a French press, take your pick."
