It was a warm Saturday night in mid July. Marie was running late. She had a million things to do before tomorrow and no one to help her. Don was at work and the boys were who knows where. She needed to go to the store but she thought it could wait until morning. She was beginning to realize it was tonight or not at all. She didn't like to go out at night but she had no choice. Once she made up her mind, she grabbed her purse and went.
As Marie was backing out of the garage, she felt a warm breeze through her window. Boy, that felt good. As she drove to the store, listening to music with the window down, she began to relax a little. By the time she got to the store she was in a good mood. Why not? It was a pleasant summer evening and the store was fairly empty.
She grabbed a cart and started off towards the wine section. She needed wine and beer for tomorrow and could even go for a glass tonight. She picked up two bottles of her favorite wine and then went over to the refrigerated beer. As she opened the door to grab some beer, the cool air hit her face and chest. Marie felt her nipples become erect.
As she quickly closed the door, she caught a glimpse of her reflection on the glass. She was a little startled at what she saw. For in her hurry to get to the store, she had forgotten to change. Not that what she was wearing was inappropriate or revealing. It's just that she was wearing a white tank top and a pair of loose fitting boxer shorts, the sort of thing she wore around the house. But there was something else she didn't wear around the house. She wasn't wearing any underwear. No bra. No panties. At first she was upset with herself for not remembering to change, but then she realized it didn't really matter. She was at the store, she had to get her shopping done, and no one could see anything anyway. Well, that wasn't quite true. If she stood under the right light, in just the right position, the brown of her nipples showed through her shirt.
As she started to take her eyes off of the glass, she noticed a hand waving at her from inside the refrigerator. It was Carl, a grocery clerk she often talked to, who she found somewhat attractive. As Marie began to push her cart towards the back of the store, Carl came out of the refrigerated section.
Carl walked up to Marie with a big smile and said, "Well, if it isn't my favorite shopper."
Marie smiled back and replied, "Well, if it isn't my favorite grocery clerk." They smiled at each other a little longer than they needed to. Carl broke the silence by saying, "I'm surprised to see you here so late. I'm here because I had to cover for someone. What's your excuse?"
Marie said, "I just needed some things and decided to come tonight. But I'm glad you're here because I don't really like coming here at night."
Carl grinned and said, "I'm flattered. Come find me when you're done and I'll walk you out."
As Marie walked away she felt relieved. Carl was always so easy to talk to. Not to mention that he was cute. She realized that he had been looking her over as they were talking. She had caught him doing this discreetly on other occasions, but it never bothered her. And tonight it had actually flattered her. If he was interested enough to check her out then she must look good to him. She smiled to herself as she remembered that her nipples were probably jutting out at him as they talked. For the first time that night she felt a little moistness between her legs. She wondered what Carl would think if he knew there was only a thin piece of fabric between him and her pussy.
She went on shopping, confident that no one could see anything, and a little aroused by the fact that she felt almost naked. Don had always encouraged her to wear sexy clothes, or go out without underwear, and to be proud of her body. He often encouraged her to flirt a little. She now realized that it was kind of fun, just like he said.
As she continued on around the store, she saw only a few people. She began to pay more attention to the men around her. She saw one old man with his wife and smiled at him. She noticed two very young men walking down one aisle towards her. Instead of looking away, she looked right at them. It was obvious they were staring at her breasts. As they looked, she could tell her nipples were once again erect and pressing against her shirt. She waited until they looked up at her face and then she smiled at both of them. They smiled back sheepishly and said hello as they walked by. She enjoyed the attention.
Marie was on her last aisle when she saw a man about her age and well built farther down the same aisle. She took a moment to admire his physique as she found what she was looking for. She saw that it was on a shelf high above her. As she reached up for it, she had the feeling she was being watched. Out of the corner of her eye she could see that the well-muscled guy had moved a little closer to her and was looking in her general direction. By now she was standing on her toes, stretching upward. She could feel her shirt tightening against her chest, and knew her shorts were riding up her legs. She just got her fingers on the jar, when it started to topple towards her. Before she could react, a hand suddenly appeared from behind her and grabbed the jar. She turned to see the good-looking guy from down the aisle, now standing just behind her, his face only inches from hers.
"Thanks," she said.
He replied, "I just happened to be waiting to get the same thing when I saw your jar start to fall. I didn't want to see it bouncing off of a pretty face."
Marie smiled and turned a little red. He was standing so close that as she relaxed back down onto her feet, her butt came in contact with his groin. He quickly moved away, but not before she felt the soft but definite bulge of his shorts. Now it was his turn to become slightly red. He smiled into her eyes and moved a few feet away to continue his shopping.
Marie knew he was wearing shorts when she first saw him, but she now noticed that they were those little nylon running shorts that many men wore but few looked good in. He was one of the ones that looked good. She could tell he had a tight muscular ass. She could also tell that she was getting very wet and horny, and should probably get home and take care of her growing desire for the big "O".
But there was one last thing she wanted to do. Since she was feeling a little bolder than usual, she knelt down as if she was looking for something. As the cute guy was still only a few feet away, she glanced in his direction for the sole purpose of checking out his crotch. She wasn't disappointed. She could see his member pushing against his nylon shorts, and could even make out the outline of his obviously circumcised head. She had a brief but very intense fantasy of pulling down his shorts and sucking his cock right there, but unfortunately he moved away. Oh well, she thought, there's nothing wrong with a little fantasizing.
She stood and began to push her cart to the check out. She exchanged small talk with the checker, paid for her groceries, and began walking towards the exit. Her mind was drifting, mostly thinking about sex, as she left the store. She remembered it was late, and noticed how dark and deserted the parking lot was. She recalled Carl's offer to walk her out. She was debating whether she should go back in and find him, or just go on by herself, when he came around the corner of the building, almost pushing another cart right into hers.
"I was beginning to worry about you," he said. "Would you like me to walk you to your car?"
"Sure," Marie replied.
He reached over, took the basket from her, and began walking next to her. Marie put her arm through his and laughingly said, "Do you always walk women to their cars after dark?"
