Okay, I had to be alluring, enticing, sensitive, careful and a bit bold. But it wasn't as simple as that. It never is.
I was rooming with L, someone with whom I was having a casual relationship. Um... OK he was a good kisser, I'll give him that. But he didn't make me moist. Which was a shame because he was a good kisser. Life sucks sometimes.
But his best friend, V did. When he was around my panties were soaked. Which I figured meant that I wanted to fuck his brains out. I was only 24 year old, and already Tango was slowly taking over. To the point that I didn't care that I might potentially be breaking up a friendship of several years. But of course I wasn't thinking with my brain...
V was an attractive man, of average height and weight. He had the most beautiful head of silky hair and I could practically feel it running through my fingers. I love a man with a great head of hair. So, looking back, I can acknowledge that his hair was a small part of what drew me to him. But not entirely; not by a long shot.
V and I worked together at the same company, but in different departments. My department was situated hugging the windows of the side of the building facing the employee parking lot. I got in a half hour before he did and thus was able to prepare myself for his arrival. Each day I sat forward in my chair to get a better look. If I could have taken out a pair of binoculars I probably would have. Hell, I could practically taste the popcorn as I watched V walk into the building every morning.
And here's the thing: he always wore this fucking brown leather coat that just did it for me. I don't know why; the coat wasn't stylish at all and it was probably at least a couple of years old. Worn. An after-thought. A lazy-man's coat. But it totally made me want to jump him the minute he got in the door. I wanted him in that stupid brown coat. I wanted him to give it to me HARD on top of that stupid brown coat.
Totally the high-light of my day. Which kind of sucked because who wants the best moment of the day to come at 8:00am? It's all downhill from there.
Every morning for a month I watched V walk down that fucking path from the parking lot to the building, in that coat And each day I wanted him more and more.
In one of those weird coincidences that happen only in Danielle Steele novels, he turned out to be my roommate's best friend. The roommate with whom I was having sporadic sex. Oy vey. This was not going to be easy. But I was up for the challenge. Tango had a plan.
