The night air was heavy with humidity and the temperature outside was hovering around 8o degrees, much too uncomfortable to be strolling the streets, so I dashed into a nightclub to relieve myself of the thickness of the heat. As I ambled through the doorway I could feel the coolness from the air conditioning inside begin to creep over my body creating a soothing calm over me.
The lounge was brimming with all sorts of people, a good mix , arduous males, dressed for the hunt, and a brood of ladies, smartly dressed and looking very spry. The bar was full, with those who appeared to be drowning their days woes, engaging in brief, sporadic conversations with those sitting next to them. The tables were engulfed by groups, mostly ladies whom appeared caught up in the latest gossip of who did what to whom, while the amorous males roamed from table to table, strutting as if in a mating ritual display, trying to attract a lucky female.
Outlining the perimeter of the lounge were the booths, large enough to encompass a group of four comfortably, and six if need be. Most of them full ,with groups of four, and mostly mixed couples. I'm assuming that these were the newly matched couples, either newly wed or newly met and trying to find a little solitude away from the hustle of the tables and the dance floor.
The booths wrapped from one end of the lounge by the front door to the back of the lounge near the phone booths and the kitchen door area. The lighting at the rear area was weak and dimly lit, casting a shadow over the last remaining two booths. From any where else in the lounge, one wouldn't be able to clearly see the person or persons that were seated at the last two booths, even by squinting the eyes, merely sihlouettes of human life form.
After spotting what I considered to be the prime seats, the last two darkened booths, I began to weave my way through the crowds of people, drinking in each face, each expression as my eyes flashed as I walked through the table area towards my destination.
Listening to the volume of each persons fleeting conversation, gave me insight as to how long each one had been there that evening. It was nearing eleven o'clock, and those who were speaking in high volume of speech, I assumed had been there since around eight or nine o'clock. They had become either deafened by the sounds of the music or had enough bar cheer in them to cause them to relax, becoming more uninhibited to their speech volume, or both.
As I approached the last two booths, I noticed that one booth was empty, and the other had only one person sitting there. I was aiming for the empty booth, when I cleared the brighter lights of the lounge and entered into the dimly lit area and my eyes adjusted, enabling me to see clearer, that the lone figure in the booth was a female. I quickly deduced that this was unusual for such a crowded, well mixed night spot, that a lady was to be sitting alone without even being circled by the male vultures that were searching for their next rendezvous.
Without hesitation, I smiled and asked if this empty seat was taken. She replied "no, have a seat". It was then that I was able to get a clear view of her, and I was astounded. She was smartly dressed, wearing a skirt that I would guess to be a little higher than mid thigh, that I had noticed as I stood asking about the vacant seat, and a blouse that was a soft white in color and the sleeves were arms length. Over the blouse was a vest that matched the skirt in style and color.
She had blonde hair which was cut on the short side and nicely styled, and a true blonde at that. Her eyes were those of dark sapphires that twinkled with a certain spark that was very enticing. Her smile was bright enough to lighten the dimness of our little dark corner with her pearly white teeth shining against the contrast of the creamy deep red lipstick that coated her full lips.
As my eyes trailed down her frame, I gazed briefly at the opening of her ruffled collared blouse seeing her creamy white pinkish chest, speckled with freckles, giving it the appearance of a light even tan as the freckles blended together. The mounds of her breasts pouted teasingly above the constraint of her bra, which sent my mind to estimating her breast size as about a 36 C, as I sat silently drinking each detail of her body.
I gazed as she lifted her glass to sip her drink, looking at her long slender fingers of each hand while she tilted the glass with one hand and situated the drink napkin with the other. I thought, either a sign of nervousness or that of a perfectionist.
All the while I explored her stunning beauty, I noticed her eyes trailing over my body, giving each part of me a once over. She covered every inch of my six feet , five inch frame and guesstimating my weight as she gazed at me. She kept looking at my hands, as if to be searching for a sign that I may be spoken for, so I obliged by placing my hands flat on the table in front of me to give her the answer to her unspoken question, which was only one diamond ring on my right ring finger.
I broke the ice by introducing myself as Viper, and she replied giving her name as Ann, then I asked curiously, why she had seated herself in the depths of the lounge, rather than being more visible at a different area of the lounge.
She replied, "I came here with someone, but he left abruptly".
I sensed from the quivering in her voice that there had been a rift between her and her companion, and that she was doing some soul searching and possibly some mending, as she sat there alone.
I asked her, "Would you prefer to be left alone?"
She replied, "No, some good company would be nice right about now".
So I nestled back against the booth and flagged a waiter to order a beverage to quench my parched throat and ordered another for the lady.
I then quipped, "Do you think I could be good company?", as I flashed a smile at her.
To which she replied, "I guess we'll find out, wont we" as she returned a smile.
Her next remark not only stunned me but sent a wave of excitement trailing down my spine when she asked, "Your place or mine?"
After quickly regaining my composure, I replied, "Mine, I have a very special place I'd like to take you this evening".
She asked "really, and where might this place be?"
"I'll need to show you, rather than tell you, that is, if you trust me?".
Curiosity getting the best of her, she agreed to go with me, only if I promised that she would be safe. Without hesitation, I assured her that she would be, and would not soon forget this special place. That was all it took for her to snap her purse and stand, waiting for me to take her to this place. This place was the Pit. My very own self designed room, with its sole purpose being nothing more than for sexual desires and pleasures to be lived out.
*******************
The Pit was formerly a basement, a rompus room, that had been converted into my own pleasure dome. Its walls were painted black with a mural of a looming thunderstorm, complete with hues of dark blue and gray clouds and streaks of ominous lightning strikes lacing through them. A sound system that would envy a mediocre sized radio station was installed behind the wet bar in the corner of the room.
In the corner of the ceiling behind the bar was a TV that was mounted on a pedestal. The floors were covered with a thick lush dark burgundy colored carpet that swallowed your feet with each step you took. There were assorted pillows on the floor, some soft and fluffy, others firm and flat. In the center of the floor was a huge white bear skin rug, with fur that was long and fluffy. At the end of the rug was the head of the bear that had been expertly stuffed and preserved, complete with eyes as black as night and teeth that shone brightly as the mouth snarled with a vicious look.
There was a bench, resembling a weight bench, sitting to one side of the room. And a trunk sitting on the opposite side. And a couple of leather easy chairs placed along the walls completed the furnishings.
When I opened the door to the Pit, she walked in and stopped, looking intently at the room and its contents and design. I stood directly behind her, close, breathing in her scent of perfume and of her essence itself.
Her golden hair had the scent of a freshly bloomed flowered meadow. Her heigth I guessed to be around six feet tall, in comparison to my six feet five inch frame. I felt a fire begin to burn deep in the depths of my soul as I gazed at this woman's figure and drank in her beauty.
I then encouraged her to enter further into the Pit and flipped the light switch on, which turned on the ceiling lights that were low wattage to give the room a dim warm glow. As she sat her purse down on the bar and finished her inspection of the room, I lit the candles in the room that were on candle stands, located in all four corners of the room, before turning the lights back off. When the lights went off, the flickering candles gave the mural on the walls an erie reality. The candles were all scented with the aroma of cinnamon, and after they burned for several minutes, they filled the room with their sensual scent.
Now that the room had been readied to my satisfaction, I asked her if she cared for something to drink, and she asked for a glass of red wine. I took the bottle from the little fridge from under the bar and poured the glass three quarters full and handed it to her. She seemed to be getting a little more comfortable with her unusual surroundings.
