The conversation in the cab on our way out the highway was sparse and tense. We discussed our projects, trying to joke through the obvious awkwardness, but my typical free-flowing chatter abandoned me as it always does when I'm hopelessly attracted to a person. I kept looking over at James' face as he drove the truck and catching him looking over at me. It should have been a scene from an adolescent romantic comedy. I fell silent, allowing myself to take glimpses of James' long arms and thighs as he deftly shifted gears. I've always been a sucker for a man who drives a standard.
We arrived at the storage facility and James asked me to hop out and direct him to back the truck up to the storage locker. Standing in behind the truck I could see his eyes on me in the side mirror, not just watching my hand waving but hungrily devouring the view. When the truck was in position, he hopped out and walked back towards me, passing within a foot of me as he unlocked the storage garage door and pushed it open. The garage was empty, save for some boxes stacked in the back corner, and a variety of lumber planks leaning against the wall beside them. The dim light didn't reveal much. Opening the back of the truck, I saw more lumber and boxes. I hopped up into the truck and began passing boxes down. Naturally I was aware that every time I leaned over, James got a good glance down my shirt which was damp with sweat.
When we finished unloading the truck, James asked me to come and help him move some boxes around inside the locker. We closed the truck and the locker door to keep in the garage-like cool. An overhead fluorescent light cast a dim glow over the piles of boxes and lumber. James explained that he wanted the boxes stacked up against the side wall to clear the back wall so we got to work. After a while I grew warm from the work and I was acutely aware that my soft sports bra was doing a pathetic job of hiding my nipples, which tend to get a little feisty. The fact wasn't lost on James either from the obvious stares I intercepted as we passed each other.
As I slid the last box into place, I stepped back and stumbled over a loosely curled carpet on the floor. James stepped quickly behind me, instinctively catching me as I lost my balance. He was a good head taller than me and well-toned from summer training. We paused for a moment and then I felt the heat of James' arms around my back and his hand... his hand was cupping my breast! Before I had a chance to register this fully, James pulled me back to my feet and then we were pressed together against the stack of boxes. His hand stayed put, and I looked down at it and then up at his face. He was staring at me, doing a crappy job of hiding his desire. Impulsively I pressed closer to him, tipping my face upwards. That was the death knell of restraint; James' lips seared mine in a mind-clearing kiss.
Our hands explored each other's backs and sides, trying to stay innocent but growing gradually more ardent. Finally my hands slid under his shirt around his waist and the touch of our skin practically lit the storage locker on fire.
James swept an arm under me and lifted me to sitting on the nearest stack of boxes. This positioned me so I could wrap my legs around him, lending me the fortune to feel the rather impressive bulge inside his soft-from-wear jeans. I'd had fantasies of this but the reality was making my heart pound and my pussy throb. He wielded some kind of strange power over me that made it impossible to listen to the rational part of my brain. I just wanted more, but I also felt a compulsion to follow his lead.
His hands slipped down my ribs and then back up as he stood in front of me; back up INSIDE my shirt and up over my head, taking my shirt with them. He looked darkly for a moment at my sports bra and then up into my eyes commandingly. Instinctively I responded, peeling the sports bra off in one quick motion. Breathing hard, staring at him taking in my bare skin with his eyes, I shivered slightly in the cool air. My hard nipples reddened as he watched me. He bent to take one in his warm mouth, licking, tasting and sucking gently. I closed my eyes and let my head fall back, relaxing my back into an arch as he held me close to him. Inside I felt the breaking down of walls so carefully built to protect me from this moment of abandon.
As I arched my back, I pushed my pussy forward, grinding into his hips. I knew what was there and I wanted it. James groaned with his mouth on my nipple, then pushed me further back so I was lying down across the stack of boxes. He lowered his mouth onto my stomach and breathed a soft trail of kisses to the top of my shorts. I closed my eyes and burned inwardly as he deftly unbuttoned the waistband and pushed it aside, revealing the innocently pink cotton briefs that were soaked with sweat and more. His hand rose from my hips to press on my mound for a moment, then in the next moment the charged atmosphere rippled and I felt his hands move again.
This time, he lifted me with surprising strength off the boxes and turned me swiftly over so that I bent forward, my ass in the air against his groin. He leaned over me, his wet t-shirt sending ripples of electricity through my bare back. Right in my ear he growled, "that's enough of the games, my dear" and my eyes shot open. He had one of my hands pressed against my back tightly, just at the edge of pain, and he grasped the other hand and pulled it up over my head.
"What!?" I exclaimed, shocked at the turn of situation but also reeling from the frisson of desire that had sprung from a deep well inside of me. I'd never been treated so roughly like this, the rough cardboard of the boxes pressing against my bare breasts where so recently there had been tender caresses and kisses.
"You've been playing with fire for weeks and now you're going to find out how hot it can get," James murmured again, his chest pressing against my back as I gasped for air. Inside those pink cotton briefs I was alarmed to feel a flood of wetness, while my knees seemed to be about to give up the pretence of standing.
My shorts came whipping off more quickly than I could have imagined possible, and James' feet moved quickly to spread my feet apart as I squealed in protest. James lifted the arm that had been pinned against my back upwards so he was holding both wrists in one of his powerful hands. Then I got the biggest shocker... as I looked to one side trying to catch a glimpse of this happy-go-lucky fellow I'd been harmlessly flirting with, I saw him use his free hand to flip open the lid of a box next to me and quickly pull out a coil of rope. What the FUCK? I thought to myself. It occurred to me that this would be an excellent time to begin panicking, but something about James' chilly calm manner informed me I'd be better off keeping my head about me. Maybe I could still talk my way out of this.
"What is going ON, James? Let me GO! I don't like this!" I pleaded.
