August 1991
Digital cameras had just been commercialized the year before I bought my first one. By today's standards it was primitive. The Nikon 453 was bulky and had limited chip storage. It did have the ability to change lenses however and I had spent an extra $150 on a APS-C sized sensor DSLR, the zoom began around 15-18mm on the wide end and ended at the 55-135mm range on the telephoto end.
I had taken a number of group photos, portraits, a couple of night shots and some landscapes, but I was anxious to try out my new toy on, let's say, more intimate subjects.
Fortunately, I was heading for Dallas for a couple of days. A major customer had selected my company as their "Supplier of the Year," and I was flying in to accept the award. I was also hoping to secure a major increase in business, since what better time than when they're admitting that you're the best of the best.
As had been our custom, when I knew I was going to be in Texas, I had given Maribeth a call and she had driven up from San Antonio. She couldn't accompany me to the awards ceremony, but we should have some intimate time together.
I had first met Maribeth when I was a Senior in College and she was just starting out on studying Psychology. We had several interesting get-togethers for a couple of years including a memorable evening in Norfolk where I escorted her across the threshold into "womanhood."
Beneath her (then) shy exterior, I had discovered a woman who was very much aware of her own sexuality and there were many nights (and sometimes days) where we mutually explored the male/female corundum. One of those episodes occurred early in our relationship (actually that night in Norfolk) when Maribeth learned that I often fantasized about posing her au natural.
I had progressed to stripping Maribeth down to just her bra when I had mentioned that I often pictured her just this way in my imagination. Quick to understand and obviously more than willing to play that game, Maribeth adopted a number of poses as I suggested. Back in 1966 I could only "snap" these in my mind's eye, but now I had a camera.
In my call to Maribeth, I mentioned the camera and said perhaps we could find some interesting ways to use it. She immediately responded, "Like Norfolk?" I admitted that that was exactly what I meant by "interesting."
Her exact words were, "Goody!"
The Award's Dinner went longer than I expected. This was about the fifth time my company had been selected as "Supplier of the Year," and unlike previous dinner's there were a number of important people there including the client's CEO. This was impressive because he actually lived in New York, not Dallas, so I felt duty bound to to take full advantage of this opportunity. It turned out to be well worth it, but that's a story for another day.
Needless to say, it was well after midnight when I found myself swiping my card key in the lock of my hotel room at the Hilton Anatole. When I stepped in the room was dark, but Maribeth's perfume was unmistakable. There was a small half bath near the entrance to the suite, and I used it to take care of necessary business and strip out of my business attire.
Naked, I entered the bedroom and slipped under the covers. Maribeth's warm and likewise naked body was filling half the bed. I snuggled up and spooned against her back, my free hand falling on the curve of her hip. Sending my presence, Maribeth let out a satisfied "ummm," and pushed back against me.
I nuzzled her neck by pushing away her hair with my face. Maribeth grasped my hand and brought it to her soft breast, covering it with her own. "Was it a good night?" She asked in a sleepy voice. I briefly mentioned why I was later than planned, and Maribeth just nodded.
The plane ride, the meal, the copious amount of alcohol and the intensity of some of the evening's conversation suddenly caught up with me. I had definitely been planning on filling these hours in sexual ecstasy with the charming Maribeth, but neither of us seemed interested in breaking the spell. I sensed Maribeth slipping back to sleep, and so I satisfied myself with pushing my semi-hard cock against her butt and taking one more squeeze of her tit, before I joined her.
I awoke first and headed to the shower. Unfortunately, I had a breakfast meeting with the VP of Purchasing of my client scheduled, so I had told Maribeth that I might not be free until mid morning. The shower certainly helped and I was looking forward to some strong coffee to take the rest of the edge off my mild hangover. As usual when Maribeth and I were together, I didn't shave. This seemed to be a fetish of her's, but I didn't particularly care.
I dressed in slacks and a polo shirt and headed to the Jade Waters Cafe which is on an outdoor patio overlooking downtown Dallas. I met Jay, who it turned out brought along two of his subordinates. I'm not a big breakfast eater, but I do like an occasional omelette, which I ordered.
There was the normal amount of chit chat that is expected in these kinds of meetings, but it does reveal some interesting information that might be helpful sometime in the future. We had just segued into business when I caught a glimpse of Maribeth from across the patio.
She was dressed in a short blueish skirt and a yellow sleeveless blouse. The beige sandals and red painted toes completed the picture. She had her long hair wrapped around her head and as she was escorted to her table she looked in our direction and simultaneously smiled and gave me a wink.
For the next forty minutes I alternated paying attention to my breakfast guests and stealing glances in Maribeth's direction. I noticed that she was receiving excellent service and attention from her waiter who seemed to me to be about twenty years her junior.
