Lisaâs cunt slipped up and down his shaft, riding him for all she was worth. She could tell that he was close. She could feel his body tensing, and so she made the appropriate noises, but she felt nothing.
The man beneath her groaned out, and his load shot up into her. She cried out in fake pleasure, wanting to at least make him feel good about the experience. He pumped for more moments before his body sagged back onto the bed. At least he was fully sated, a serene smile playing on his face. She smiled down at him â that too was fake â before moving off his body and sitting on the bed, her back against the headboard.
Lisa sighed inwardly. Another failed night, another failed attempt at passion. Sheâd had a good night with this man â what was his name? Oh, yes, Mark. Sheâd had a good night with Mark once, but only once.
Like every other. Lisa had, in her short twenty-two years of life, had at least thirty boyfriends. Each of them had given her gifts, had taken her places. Each of them had loved getting her into bed, for she was very good at sex. But none of them had been able to give her more than one orgasm. It wasnât just more than one orgasm
a night
, but they had never been able to bring her to orgasm after their first time together. Mark was no different. He was reasonably good in bed, but still, the one orgasm was all she had gotten from him. It was frustrating enough that she wanted to cry, but she didnât. Mark would not understand, and how to tell him that the last five times had been bullshit to her?
She waited the appropriate amount of time before getting up and going to the bathroom. She had to get home soon; she had to be at work in the morning, and she never let her search for a man interfere with the proper functioning of her duties. Not that she was a crucial company employee; a secretary for a medium-grade executive, if she didnât show up at all, it wouldnât be the end of the world, except perhaps for her. Still, it was all she had in life at the moment, and she would not foul up the one thing she was doing well with the other thing that she was barely doing at all.
âCall me?â Mark asked as she finished getting dressed. He did not move from the bed.
Lisa made a noncommittal noise. Chances are that no, she would not call him again. He would almost certainly call her, though, and sheâd once more have to go through the ritual of having to dump yet another guy. The process grated on her nerves. Why couldnât she just tell him now? But, no, you didnât do that sort of thing after good sex, and it had been good for him, anyway.
She made her way out to her car, and drove home. Once there, she showered, to remove the reminder of her failure as a woman.
===<<<+>>>===
âHi, Lisa,â he said, disturbing her morose little reverie. She jumped, and he lightly set his hand on her shoulder. âWow, geez. I didnât mean to startle you. Didnât get much sleep last night? Youâve been sitting here staring at your lunch for ten minutes.â
His name was Jack Bennett. He was an executive assistant with the corporation. This really meant that he was a highly paid gofer for his boss, but that didnât seem to bother Jack very much. Lisa smiled at him; he was a friend, and she could use one of those just now.
âOh, hi, Jack. I slept okay, itâs just... life.â
âOh, that old thing,â he said with a chuckle. âWeâd all be better off without it.â
She smiled at the joke, but she didnât feel like her usual chuckle. Jack noticed.
âHey, whatâs wrong? Câmon, youâve got...â he checked his watch theatrically, â... forty-two minutes to spill your guts. After that, we both have work to do.â
She looked at him, trying to decide whether he was serious, or just trying to get her in a good mood. The look on his face proclaimed that she had his full attention. Lisa decided,
What the hell.
âAnother failed relationship, Jack. I canât seem to find a guy who suits me.â
âWhat was wrong with this one?â he asked.
âSame as usual; incompatible in bed.â
âOh.â Jack had to be careful. For one thing, this wasnât the kind of discussion you had in the lunch room at work. For the other, if he said the wrong thing in the wrong way, she could have him up on sexual harassment charges. Not that he thought sheâd do it, but he wasnât taking the chance. âMaybe youâre just putting a little too much emphasis on it.â
She looked at him as if heâd sprouted a third arm. âHow many girlfriends have you had?â
âWell, three.â
She just stared at him. âNo offense, but you donât yet really know relationships. Sex is important. Sex may be the most important part of it all.â
Good Lord, does she really think that?
âHmm. I havenât found that to be the case. Look, what
else
do you do with your boyfriends?â
âWhat do you mean, what else?â
âMovies? Dinner? Dancing?â
âWhat guy wants to do that kind of bullshit? They want sex. Itâs what I give them.â
Jack nodded. âOkay, I see your point, I guess. But Lisa?â he asked as he finished off his coffee.
âYeah?â
âAny real boyfriend would want more than sex. You take it easy, okay? Iâve gotta go, Iâve got some errands to run before my lunch break is over. Think about it.â
As Jack walked away, she was confused.
What does he mean, a âreal boyfriendâ? Iâve had real boyfriends, havenât I?
She didnât know how to answer that question, and that disturbed her more than Jackâs comment.
Maybe I need to talk to him some more.
===<<<+>>>===
It took Lisa a full two days before she got up the nerve to approach him. This was odd for her; she was usually very take-charge around men. She made her way to his office, which was two floors above her own, and waited until he got off the phone.
âHey, Lisa. Whatâs up?â
âJack... I, uh... you remember the talk we had the other day?â
âSure. What about it?â
âYou think maybe we could continue that conversation? Over dinner?â
Jack chuckled slightly. âKind of a weird way to ask a guy out, ainât it?â He smiled at her, and she dipped her head, blushing slightly. He said, âOkay, no problem. When should I pick you up?â
âSeven?â
âWorks for me. I...uh, need your address.â She handed him a business card, which belonged to her boss, but sheâd written her address on the back. âOkay, see you at seven. Lisa?â he said as she turned to go. She turned back.
âYeah?â
âDress casual, okay?â
She smiled, and then headed for the elevator.
===<<<+>>>===
Jack arrived promptly at seven, and, unusually for her, Lisa was actually ready for him. She considered just primping for another fifteen minutes, but decided that would be the wrong way to treat this. After all, it wasnât really a
date
, was it? No, she was just having dinner with a coworker to get some advice.
Right.
She walked out to where he was sitting in the living room, waiting for her, and he rose. She looked stunning in her thin, nearly see-through, white blouse and tight blue jeans, a dark blue bra beneath, covering everything, but hinting strongly. Her long blonde hair was washed and brushed, and it bounced as she walked in her medium heels.
âHow do I look?â she asked automatically.
âYou look outstanding,â he answered, with far more sincerity than any of her previous dates had bothered with. She flashed him a warm smile, and he said, âShall we go?â He held out his arm to her, and she took it daintily. It was far more manners than she was used to dealing with, and she wasnât sure how to react.
He led her out to his car, a nice but not ostentatious sedan, and he opened the door for her, holding her hand as she climbed in the car. He moved around to his side, got in, and they were off.
âHungry?â he asked as they got on their way.
âVery,â she said. He couldnât know there was more than one meaning in her reply. She looked at him without staring, but for the first time she noticed that Jack was quite handsome, his medium-brown hair kept in a fairly stylish if conservative cut, his jaw strong and his nose well-proportioned but angular. He seemed to have a fairly nice body, without any muscular bulges. He was dressed casually in a sweater and slacks, with what she figured was a pullover shirt under the sweater. He looked very nice, but... not the type she would normally have picked up in a bar. He seemed too perfect, like he would be hiding something.
Is he hiding something?
she asked herself. She decided that, yes, he probably was. Most people were. She also decided that, at the moment, she just didnât care.
===<<<+>>>===
Dinner had been a pleasant enough event, but it was clear that Jack did not want to have their discussion over dinner. Lisa bowed to his wishes, and simply enjoyed the meal and his company. They talked about work, and about families. They talked about dreams and hopes for their futures, and where they might be in five or ten years.
Soon enough, the meal was over, and they were back in the car. She didnât ask where they were heading. She had almost thought he might take her back to his place, or, better yet, to her place, where they could... but, no, they werenât heading to a home, but into the nightlife portion of the city.
They pulled into a bar. It took her a moment to realize it was
