He gave me the romance I didn't know I craved. He and I met over the internet and it was two months before we decided to see whether or not the chemistry we had here would crossover to real life. That's not an easy task, as some of you know. For me in particular, it's very hard. There was no guarantee that he'd be able to affect me in the same manner. No certainty that the feel would be the same. I'm a woman, remember, so giving myself to someone isn't an easy decision. With him, I craved it. I needed it. I wasn't going to fight it and expectations be damned, I had hope.
We decided on dinner at 8, in New York City, where I am on a frequent basis because of travel. I had butterflies the entire day and they kept getting stronger as I bathed and got ready. I wore black, because that's what I normally do, a curve hugging dress that dips low, V-neck along the cleavage and falls to the knees, just above where the calf and knee meet, exposing that little dip. I knew he was taller than I so I settled on heels that would, hopefully, bring me to eye level, to mouth level. I don't normally wear jewelry, just an orb of gold on my left thumb that is never removed but that's another story. Scented, ready, I left the hotel and went to meet him.
You hear about these things happening but they never happen to you, and yet I sit here and attest that they do happen. I'd seen him in pictures so I knew what to expect. I walked in and immediately spotted him at the bar. We were both early, he a fraction earlier than I. Not a moment after I laid eyes on him, he looked up, almost as if he'd sensed me, and our eyes locked, his blue on my brown, and palpable electricity flowed between us. I knew then and there. I lowered my eyes because my legs didn't seem to hear my motion command, felt the heat of a blush and when I raised my gaze, he was moving towards me. I averted my gaze again and inwardly grinned but before I could extend my hand for a shake, I was enveloped in his arm and drawn to his chest, my cheek lay flat against it and I realized two things, he was taller and thicker than I thought and I didn't want to move.
I won't bore you with too many details of how the night progressed, I know you want the details that count. I'll only say that it was he who set the pace and he chose slow, languid and deliciously torturous. I'm not sure if he knew how I was feeling, if he did he masked it much better than I, but by the time the after dinner drink came, I was intoxicated on more than one level. After dinner, when we both knew it was time, we both fell silent and the journey back to my hotel was strange. He held my right hand with his right, his left kept on my bare knee, his fingers in both places in constant motion. My skin tingled and maybe the anticipation intensified his touch but I haven't had my hands feel so erotic since. Still, sometimes, I bring my wrist to my lips, because just the memory of his touch gives me reason to make sure it's not really there.
To the hotel and up the elevator, he never stopped touching me, looking at me, setting me into a slow smolder of want with just those two actions. Though I was leading to the room, it was he who guided me with the palm of his left hand at the small of my back, all the while caressing my hand with his right. Working the key was unecessary, he took it from my hand and opened the door for us. I excused myself to freshen up and his grin was unmistakable when he opened the bathroom door and ushered me inside with the same, gentle push of his hand on my lower back. My nerves made me stay in there longer than necessary.
