This is a start to a story that I've been holding onto for a long time, but haven't been able to put it down in writing. I finally decided to tackle it and give it a try. I would love to continue this saga, if it's worth pursuing. I'd love to hear your thoughts and constructive criticism!
**********************
Natalia strides to her car in her office's parking garage, a somber purpose in each step. She stares straight forward stoically, tuning out the muffled discussions of her coworkers around her. Everyone was always off at the same time, and most walked back together, gossiping about their plans for the rest of the week.
Not Natalia. She always separated herself from the others; not due to irritation, shyness, or annoyance. She simply had absolutely no interest in any social interaction. Not their kind, anyway.
She feels the prying eyes of the others as her swift pace surpasses everyone, her purse on one shoulder, and her jacket draped over her free arm. She knew what they called her; the Ice Queen. Her demeanor and cold disposition was unsettling to their fragile personalities. Everyone respected her work ethic on a professional level, but her icy demeanor made her the pariah of her work community.
And that was exactly how she needed it. Natalia simply had no desire to waste time with pointless fraternization; her goals were different. More primal. More ... significant.
She reaches her car, briskly stepping into the driver seat and backing out of the parking spot. Pausing to input an address into her GPS, she drives off to her destination.
She remains silent for the half an hour drive, solely intent on reaching tonight's location. Only the soft, elegant melodies of classical music play as she makes her way through the busy metropolitan freeways, until finally arriving. As she parks, she adjusts her mirror to check her appearance.
Natalia always had an otherworldly, ethereal beauty about her. Her platinum blonde hair framed her angelic and angular face, and that alone would be enough to turn heads.
But it was her eyes that stole the show. They almost glowed a mystic glacial blue, and they drew the attention of all who interacted with her - men or women. They were so intense, that those making eye contact with her often stumbled over their words ... that is, if they even had the confidence to approach her.
Satisfied with her appearance, Natalia steps out of her car, taking her purse as her pristine white heels met the dirty sidewalk. She adjusts her professional yet sexually appealing outfit, and then strides quickly to the bar in front of her. Her long legs, well exposed by her skirt, draws the attention of passing men, but she ignores them as they all remain silent, enraptured by her tall, elegantly slender form.
Natalia steps into the dive bar and instantly begins scanning the scene in front of her.
*Two men, late forties, playing pool in the corner* she muses in her thoughts, quickly looking them up and down. They pause their game and look back, amused that such a classy, delicate woman would enter a dirty establishment such as this. *Overweight. Bikers.* She dismisses them as her gaze continues to dart across the room.
*One man. Late sixties. Working professional. All business.* She moves on as the man pours dutifully over spreadsheets.
She glances to the opposite end of the room, eyeing a younger man visually undressing her.
*Early thirties. In shape. Looks easy. Maybe... wait. No.* Her eyes look away in disinterest as a woman of same age steps to the table, eyeing her man with disgust as he tries to disguise his obvious fantasy of Natalia. She shifts her gaze to a man sitting at the corner of the bar, dejectedly nursing what appears to be a jack and coke.
*Early forties, decent shape ...* She notices him twirling a ring around his finger on his left hand. A small and strangely predatory smile forms at the corner of Natalia's mouth. *Marital problems. He'll do.*
With her goal identified, she strides to the bar, sitting with only one stool between them. Natalia continues to assess the man with intent, not hiding her stare. He takes notice, tilts his head quizzically and says, "Hi!"
Natalia's stoic face vanishes as an attractive, oddly pleasant smile takes its place. She playfully traces her nail over her ear, replacing a strand of hair. "Hey there." She responds, with a flirtatious tinge in her voice. "You seem like you could use some company."
"Oh, no, I ..." his voice trails off as he catches her piercing blue eyes. "I mean, yes, of course. Thank you." His gaze darts down, taking in the sight of her feminine assets as they ashamedly shoot back up. Natalia drifts her eyes down in a similar manner, lingering long enough to send a subliminal message ... and she brings her eyes back up in a much slower, less guilty way.
"Can I get you anything to drink, Mrs..."
She laughs and leans forward, touching his hand ever so slightly. "Natalia. No Mrs. And yes, I'll have a martini. However the house makes it." He raises his hand and places her order to the bartender.
"My name's Jim. Nice to meet you, Natalia." They cheers as her drink arrives. The bartender gives her a quizzical look, as if he remembered her from somewhere, and then continues his work. She refocuses in on her new companion, staring with intent and a hint of sensuality.
"So," he states, trying to quell his nervousness with conversation. "What brings you here?"
"Can't a girl have a drink?" She quips back, shifting to the closest barstool. She keeps herself squarely facing Jim, her silky knees barely brushing against his coat. "I could ask you the same question, Jim." She gives a knowing glance to his constant fidgeting with his left ring finger.
He purses his lips and closes his palm, calming his restless hands. "Well, I've ... uh, been having issues with the wife," he winces with regret in bringing up his relationship status to a gorgeous woman who was apparently interested in him.
Natalia reaches forward and takes his hand, focusing on his wedding ring. She gazes at it and twirls it around his finger, pretending to admire its beauty. "It's nice," she says, releasing his hand. "She must be a lucky woman."
Jim starts and chuckles, his disdain for his wife's lack of appreciation evident. "Yeah, well, she seems to be the only one who doesn't know it ... ahh, but I don't want to bore you with my problems." He readjusts in his seat, unsure of the level of attention he was getting. He glances around the bar, noticing the attention Natalia brought to herself. The other men quickly turn away.
"Well," Natalia states, sitting forward and resting a hand on his knee. "I don't think she knows what she has." She gives it a light squeeze before trailing her fingertips ever so slightly along his leg before pulling away. He takes notice, and readjusts in his seat once more.
"You know, uh, I am, a married man," he stammers, picking up on the strong sexual tension being produced by Natalia. She just rests her chin on her knuckles, smiling at him, letting him take the next move.
"You never told me why you're here, miss," he says, taking a slightly more formal tone. "So, tell me, what brings you here?"
Natalia sets her glass down on the bar and scoots closer. "Well, if you must know," she states matter-of-factly, as she returns her hand to his knee, this time sliding it up slowly along his inner thigh. She leans in close, her lips just past his ears. "I came here ... to ... fuck." With that declaration, she presses her hand into his crotch, caressing his already throbbing package and giving it a firm squeeze.
She doesn't have to see his face to know that his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. She's done this enough times to know when she had them. She remains in her leaned in position, letting her palm rub seductively on his compressed manhood.
She picks up on his increasingly rapid breathing as she feels a bulge pressing into her hand. He gulps and shakily begins to pant, staring straight forward in bewilderment. Natalia continues stroking his crotch, tracing the outline of his balls as he unconsciously lets his legs relax further apart.
She grins almost sadistically as she runs her fingertips to the top of his pants, deftly unfastening his button and sliding down his zipper, just enough to give her access. With her left hand, she nonchalantly nurses her drink while smiling at the bartender. With her right, she slips it under the waistband of his boxers, causing Jim to take in a sharp breath.
Natalia begins to slowly stroke his shaft downwards. She can feel streaks of wet precum along her wrist and arm as she slides her grip lower, slightly tugging at his balls. Her soon-to-be conquest closes his eyes, lost in a wordless sigh as she massages his surprisingly ample sac.
"You have needs, Jim. So do I. You think that you're the man who can meet them?" She slides her hand up to his throbbing member and gives it a firm squeeze. A soft, breathy moan escapes his lips.
