"Pleeeeeeeease?" she begged.
"I really don't know....grrrr, I guess I can but this guy better not be some dog!" I laughed.
"Hey, if anything I'll let him go down on me" I muttered, half laughing.
"Great then! It's all set. I'll tell Gary I'm going with you to The Conduit Lounge on Saturday for drinks. We'll meet up with Steve and Ray over at Chit Chat, like we planned"
What a wonderful night was in store for me. A double date. Instead of being teenagers we're over 30 and married and sneaking around to meet up with BOYS? Well, men, but jeesh.
Sherry was dying to hook up with Ray but she still wanted a buffer. That would be me and Steve...who I hadn't met yet. Those two were married with children as well, professional suit and tie kinda men in their late 30's. Hey, what harm could it do? A night out joking and laughing with a few other adults.
Sherry gave me Steve's phone number at work so I could introduce myself. I called him but his voicemail picked up..."Hi, you have reached the desk of Steve Jones, please leave a message at the beep and I will get back to you as soon as possible"
The voice was deep and soothing and I honestly had to admit that it was just downright sexy. It made me want to know him. I tried back a few minutes later and that same voice picked up...."Steve Jones' office...can I help you?"
"Yes, hi, this is Sherry's friend Tamara....she gave me your number...."
"Well hi...I was wondering if you were going to call...how are things going?"
"Fine...except for this double date we have coming up..." I laughed.
"Why? It will be fun...you'll see. But next Saturday is pretty far away...can I come see you before that?"
"I guess you could...I work over at the hardware store on 31....I'm a cashier there. Come in tomorrow after 6 when it's not so busy"
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it...but how will I know what you look like?"
"I'll be wearing my name tag for one...I have long curly red hair and a nice ass....you'll be able to find me with no problem..." I said almost arrogantly, "but how will I know it's YOU?"
"Aww, I have a client walking in....can you call me back in about an hour?"
"No, sorry I can't...I have to get to work actually...I have to close tonight"
"Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow I guess". He sounded disappointed.
"Yes, come see me tomorrow"
I was pretty interested by this time. His VOICE was amazing. He sounded sexy and confident and...I don't know.
I went into work and started my day in a good mood. I always tried to have fun at work and flirted back with all the blue collar workers with a fierceness that they seemed to jones for. I'd have the same customers come in 3 even 4 or 5 times a day just to come and try to match flirting wits with me. "Oh my! Ya know, you're a GOOD lookin' woman!" the older puerto rican construction worker said.
"Oh GOD! I KNOW!" acting like I was in shock and that I just realized it myself. He smiled a giant smile and paid for his order of sheetrock. "See you tomorrow Tamara!" "Okay hon...see you then!"
Before I could turn to help the next person in line, I heard "Hey, you're looking kinda cute there...are you looking for a date?"
"Maybe" I said and didn't give him the satisfaction of looking in his face while I rang up his batteries. He was looking over the counter trying to get a glimpse of my ass.
"Maybe?...well how about next Saturday?" He smiled and kept his voice low..."Yes, no? Still interested?", he said while lifting his arms to show himself to me. He was tall. Six foot two. Brown skin and full lips. And that smile. I laughed and threw my hand out to shake his and introduced myself "Hi, I'm Tamara...a lil early aren't you?"
"Hi Tamara, I'm Steve...it's very nice to meet you. I'm sorry, after hearing your voice, I couldn't wait til tomorrow"
"Well, I'm glad you came....ack, I already took my lunch break. Too bad, we could have hung out for awhile."
His smile came straight thru his sleepy brown eyes, "It's okay, I have to get going anyway. I just wanted to see your face. Sherry gave me your email address, so maybe I'll email you a bit later. Would that be alright?"
"Of course! Email me tonight. Maybe we can even chat online if you want" I told him.
With that, he was on his way. He gave me a wink as he exited the store. I have to admit I was caught off guard by him just showing up, at first, no matter how well I played it off. I think I kept my cool pretty well. Hmmm. Why was I always so on guard? Besides, I was going on this double date only to be a buffer for Ray and Sherry. NOT to hook up with Steve the way he was obviously thinking.
That night we talked online using instant messenger. He told me he had two sons, a wife, Lauren, who did her own thing too. I asked him if she minded that he cheated. He said that she lived in her own little world and didn't want to mess things up for herself....she loved to shop and travel and he gave her the ability to do so. SHE didn't want to 'fuck up a good thing' is the way he put it. They were together just to raise the boys.
We exchanged stories back and forth and of course the topic of sex came up. I ended up asking him to describe his idea of the perfect sex scenario. He kept it simple and said "Total submission."
"What do you mean?" was the only thing I could reply with.
"For a woman to completely submit herself to me" he clarified. He went on to TELL me that on our date he wanted me to go into the lady's room and take off my panties for him...and then discreetly give them to him while in the bar. I agreed but I knew I'd never do it.
I figured he was full of shit...he was probably living in his tiny online persona. He was used to talking this way online; he thought he was some sort of Dom. I told him he had the wrong woman for that...that I was usually the dominant one in my relationships. I held the whip, so to speak. He laughed at me and told me how it was only social conditioning telling me it was wrong for a woman to submit, and in turn be weak, when it was really the exact opposite. The "dominant" man was really the slave to the game....he just wanted to be pleased. Only a submissive woman who was powerful enough to be THAT submissive could win him over, and in return he'd give her whatever she desired.
Make sense? It made NO sense to me either. I sort of blew him off the rest of the night by not bringing up the topic again. After that we just decided on what time we'd meet and where. We said goodnight to each other and I didn't talk to him again til he walked into the karaoke bar for our date Saturday night.
He was looking good. He wore a tan short sleeved button down shirt and dark khaki pants. Damn.
Ray and Sherry sat at the bar together and whispered and giggled at each other. I was at the end of the bar, at Sherry's right side with Steve not sitting but standing behind me. He barely spoke. I leaned over to Sherry to whisper something to her and I felt Steve's hand cup my left ass cheek, then his hand rose up a bit and he let it dive straight down the back of my jeans...his fingers lazily grazing the soft skin of my butt cheeks. And god only knows why but I let him.
