She waited. Face down, ass up. "The position" as she jokingly called it. They'd been together for a while now, and had developed their own shorthand, vocabulary, a catalogue of JamCat references.
She couldn't remember feeling as sexually compatible with anyone before. Maybe it was because he knew what he was doing, maybe it was because he was unnervingly sexy, maybe it was because she was older and better understood what she liked, maybe it was because of her biological clock. Whatever it was he made her heart ache, her stomach flutter, and she hoped for a future together. In fact, it was hard for her to imagine a future without him now.
He was due home from work any minute. She'd been off that day, and had had plenty of time to prepare for his arrival. Her hair, long and dark, was clean and shiny, tied back so it wouldn't interrupt proceedings. She'd moisturised all over, and was soft, lightly sticky, and smelled girly, feminine. Her pussy was waxed bare and perfectly smooth. Her face was made up, but not too much. She knew he liked her to look natural, so she emphasised only her eyes: a sweep of mascara and a smudge of eyeliner somehow made her eyes look bigger. She knew they sparkled when she was with him. Even her mum, not one for sentimentality, had said that her daughter lit up when she was around him.
Her outfit was new. She still liked to dress up for him, surprise him, make an occasion of their time together. She loved his eyes on her, looking at her like she was good enough to eat. This time she wore black stockings attached to a suspender belt, a black thong so small it could easily be pushed to the side for his mouth, fingers, dick, and the piece de resistance, a black "peek-a-boo" bra which would give easy access to her sensitive breasts and nipples. He'd mentioned liking that type of bra a few times and she was pleased she was able to fulfil his fantasy.
She tingled in anticipation, waiting for the signs he was near, alert to any noise that could indicate his imminent arrival: a car door slam, a voice travelling up to the window if he bumped into a neighbour, the bang of the downstairs door, closing his footsteps on the stairwell, the turn of the key in the lock, the swish of the door as it opened into the apartment, his movements in the hallway as he was seconds away from seeing, smelling, touching her. She'd been practicing the look she would give him over her shoulder when he walked into the room, when he saw her presenting herself to him.
Every second she was waiting felt like an exquisite eternity. She could feel herself moistening, her nipples stiffening, the hairs on her arms standing on end as she thought about what was to come.
There it was. The clunk of the main door. "Please let it be you," she thought desperately, wondering whether she'd have time to dash to the window, check if his car was parked out front, and scramble back on to the bed before he could walk in. She decided against it.
As she strained to tell if the steps on the landing were his, she thought about how she'd got here. For a long time, she'd resisted long term, meaningful connection. She'd been hurt badly before and it had made her wary and furiously independent. She didn't want to need or want anybody; she'd take her pleasure, a ghost of intimacy, and that would be all, enough. The thought of love, of being completed, of letting herself be vulnerable with someone again made her feel a bit sick. And yet, somehow, he'd inched his way under her skin, and wrapped himself around her heart like a hug. She had no idea what he saw in someone like her, monumental screw up that she was; she was just glad that he saw something worth staying for for however long it lasted.
She'd been captivated by him since those early messages on a hook up app of all things, and was thrilled and scared in equal measure that he had been even more attractive than she'd expected when they'd met for the first time. So much so that she'd been especially shy and tongue-tied, almost feverishly warm, blushing furiously, a long stretch from the sexy, confident, cool person she was online. Her heart leapt when he confirmed he'd like to see her again.
