I can't stop myself. I admit it. I love chocolate and I want it, all the time. That's how I wound up at the truffle shop, even after a great dinner at one of the top restaurants in town. And that's where I met him.
It started out simply. I was staring at the truffles, trying to decide which one, or ones, I wanted. Not easy, because I wanted them all.
"They all look so good, don't they?" a man's voice said.
I looked up and saw a pleasant smile lighting up a boyish male face. He wasn't young, but he wasn't old, either. Medium height, broad shoulders, brown hair, blue eyes. Nice. Of an age with me, I'd say. Dressed in a suit and tie, every inch the businessman. Very nice, indeed.
"Yes," I cleverly replied. "I just can't decide. Which is your favorite?"
"Redheads, definitely redheads," he said, his smile broadening.
"You don't waste time, do you?"
"Not often. Do you? I mean, you don't look as if you do."
Well, yes. Look at me. Dressed for a night on the town. Boots, suede mini skirt, silk blouse, leather jacket. Topped off with the aforementioned red hair and complemented by blue eyes. I had the goods, if I do say so myself. And he seemed to think so, too. But I was not going to make it easy for him. Where's the fun in that?
"Pretty cheeky, aren't you?" I said.
"I meant no offense, believe me. I just figured you as a woman secure with herself. I'm just . . . Can I make it up to you by buying you an assortment of truffles?"
He looked so cute, standing there looking concerned that he'd moved a little too fast. And I did want the truffles, so . . . .
"Sure, that'd be nice". I gave him my best smile. "I really love truffles. How many can I get? You'd have to tie me up to keep me from having them all."
"No problem. I could do that," he grinned.
"You mean you'd get them all for me?" I said sweetly.
"Nope. I meant I'd tie you up to keep you from having them all. I would, however, buy you a nice assortment of your choosing. I would tease you with them and then feed them to you, if it pleased me to do so."
I stared at him. His smile now looked devilish, and challenging. He arched an eyebrow, and I felt weak in the knees. He's bluffing, I thought. Well, we would just see about that.
"Oh, you would, would you? Well, talk is cheap, buster." Do NOT mess with me when it comes to chocolate!
"Steve. My name is Steve. And you are . . .?"
I ignored him and signaled to the sales girl. I selected a dozen truffles and asked for them to be put in a gift box. Might as well go all-out.
I took the box, glanced at Steve, told the girl he was paying, and headed for the door. He reached out and gently took my arm.
"Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself? Can you walk the walk?"
I smiled at him. "Oh, yeah. But do finish up here quickly. You were right - I don't like to waste time. By the way, my name is Mimi."
"Good to know you, Mimi. Please wait for me by the door. I won't be long." He turned and casually handed the sales girl a fifty dollar bill, told her to keep the change and walked towards me. Gently taking my arm once again, he opened the shop door and escorted me into the night.
His hotel room was on the tenth floor, with a great view of the downtown area. Other than that, it was a typical hotel room, nothing special. But I wasn't there for the view or the hotel's amenities.
As soon as we entered the room, Steve took my coat, then my blouse, my bra, and my skirt. I was left standing there half-naked, wearing only my stockings, garter belt, thong, and boots.
Steve stood behind me, caressing my shoulders and back, running his hands slowly and softly over my body. He murmured in my ear, "You have such beautiful skin. Just relax and enjoy the sensations. I won't hurt you." His hands found my breasts and stroked my nipples.
I nodded my consent as he eased my arms behind my back and bound my wrists firmly together with the belt from a terrycloth robe thoughtfully provided by the hotel. The room was a double; I knew there would be another robe, and another belt. I shivered in anticipation of Steve's next move.
His hands began to explore my body once again. He lingered on my ass, moving his hands in tight circles. Such a delicate, warm touch! I moaned softly as his fingers moved back to my breasts and playfully pulled my nipples.
He circled me, nodding approval at what he saw. His lips grazed my nipples and I tilted my head back as his mouth began to suck lightly on one breast and his tongue swirled over its tip. Oh, my. My knees started to buckle and Steve caught me before I hit the floor.
He guided me to the bed and sat me on the edge. He was still fully clothed. Shedding his jacket, he loosened his tie and dropped to one knee. Clasping my right boot in his left hand, he worked the zipper with his left and slid the boot off my foot. He took my foot in his hands and kneaded it firmly. He repeated the process on the left boot. I was almost in heaven.
"So far so good?"
