Saturday evening about 9:00, Neil dropped in to see Janet and Heather. Janet answered the door and looked at him.
"Heather has gone out and I told you I'm not going to sit here sharing a bottle of wine waiting for you to pounce," Janet told him.
"I know Heather has gone out," Neil said with a smile. "I came to see you and I didn't bring any wine. Or vodka. I want you to be clear headed when I pounce so you know exactly what I'm doing to you. May I come in?"
Janet paused for a moment and then opened the door wider. "Seeing you're here, you might as well," she said. "Coffee?"
"No, thanks anyway," said Neil with a smile. "I'd rather get straight to the point of why I'm here."
"And that is?"
"I want to take your clothes off and make mad passionate love to you," said Neil.
Janet stared at him blankly while her mind processed this information and then rejected it.
"You didn't say that," Janet told him, shaking her head. "People just don't come out and say things like that."
"Yes they do," said Neil. "I just did. Would you like me to be a bit more explicit?"
"I would have said that you have already been fairly explicit," Janet pointed out.
"No. That was a general statement of intent," replied Neil. "Explicit is when I tell you I want to slowly undo your blouse and push it down off your shoulders. Then I'm going to kiss the upper slopes of your breasts. After that I'll reach around and unhook your bra, letting it fall free while I take your breasts in my hands and tease them. This will entail playing with them, rubbing your nipples and sucking on them."
Janet stared at Neil, fascinated. She couldn't believe he was talking to her like that. "You can't say things like that to me," she told him. "You're not my boyfriend. We've never even been out together. You can't possibly expect me to have sex with you because you want to."
"Why not? There's no law against it. After seeing you naked and touching you last night I've been wondering how you would feel under me while I'm inside you."
"That's ridiculous. I was a little tipsy last night and the others were there as well. Why don't you go and chase one of them."
"Because for some reason, you're the one who has stuck in my mind. I want to see you, feel you, taste you and possess you."
"That's no reason for you to expect me to go to bed with you," protested Janet. "Why not ask me out on a date and we'll see how things progress from there."
"I don't want to take you on a date and see how things progress. I want to slide your panties down and feel your tender warmth before I bury myself in you," said Neil, as though it was a quite reasonable thing to do.
"But I don't want you to," said Janet, blushing now.
"Yes, you do," insisted Neil. "I could feel how you pressed against me last night when I squeezed your pussy."
"I told you, I was tipsy last night. I didn't know what I was doing."
"You weren't that tipsy," Neil said with a grin. "You'd only had enough to lower your inhibitions a little. You're actually getting a little excited now, thinking about it."
"I am not," denied Janet, suddenly acutely conscious of the warmth gather within her.
"Then why are these pointing at me?" asked Neil, lifting a hand and brushing it lightly across her breasts, agitating her erect nipples.
"They're not," stated Janet.
"Are you sure?" asked Neil. "Let me have a closer look."
Neil reached out and before Janet's confused eyes he started flicking open the buttons of her blouse.
"What do you think you're doing?" she protested as he slowly undid the buttons one by one. "And why aren't I stopping you?" she wondered.
"I'm taking a closer look," murmured Neil, brushing her blouse off her shoulders and revealing two small breasts in a lacy bra. He slowly traced the outline of Karen's bra, trailing his finger across the upper slope of her breasts. Cupping one breast, his thumb slipped under the lace to dip down and run lightly over her nipple.
"That's enough," said Janet, her voice slightly hoarse. "I think you'd better stop now."
"Ok," said Neil. He moved his hands away from her breasts and up to her shoulders, brushing them down her arms, pushing her blouse down until it fell away. "Turn around so that I can undo this," he said, plucking at a bra strap.
"If I let you go that far, will you then go away?" asked Janet.
"No," said Neil. "I told you what I want to do."
Neil's finger made circling motions and Janet found herself turning her back to him so that he could unclip her bra. She felt him deftly slip the hooks and then brush her straps off her shoulders, letting the bra drop free.
Turning to face him, Janet raised her hands to cover her breasts, her face flaming. Then, unable to resist, she watched as he eased her hands away and lowered his head to suck on first one breast and then the other.
Lifting his head again, Neil replaced it with his hands, cupping and massaging.
"I think that's enough," said Janet, a trifle desperately. "You've done what you said you were going to do, so now I think you should let me put my blouse back on."
"But I've barely started," protested Neil quietly. "I haven't taken of your skirt or panties yet, I haven't stroked your pussy and felt your warmth. Then there's the little matter of laying you on your bed and making love to you properly."
"I know you haven't done those things, and you're not going to," said Janet, exasperation plain in her voice. "Can't you take no for an answer?"
"Not when the answer should be yes," coaxed Neil. "We both know you want me to continue. Do you want me to take of your skirt or your panties next?"
"Your arrogance is astounding," gasped Janet. "What have I said that makes you think I want you to continue? And what difference does it make if you take off panties or skirt first? Not that you're taking off either."
Neil explained. "Some girls like losing their panties first in this sort of situation. They find it exciting to know that they're naked under their skirt and that the man knows it. They like the thrill of the man touching what he can't yet see. I think I'll remove your panties first," he added. "You'll feel a little more secure if you're still covered by you skirt, whereas if I took of the skirt first you'd think I was about to pounce."
"I said neither. And you still haven't explained why you think I will let you continue." Despite her words, Janet knew damn well that that lurch in her stomach wasn't fear but anticipation. Neil was going to take her clothes off and she wouldn't stop him. Not couldn't, she admitted to herself, but wouldn't.
"Would you get upset and insulted if I told you?" Neil asked. "And maybe you'd like to slip off your panties yourself. You know, tease me by prolonging the time until I can touch you there."
"I won't be upset or insulted because I haven't said anything to encourage you, so let's hear it," demanded Janet, confident he couldn't give a reason.
"Let me see. You're standing in front of me half naked," said Neil thoughtfully. "Your breasts are bare and your nipples are erect. You're breathing more heavily that when I arrived and your face is slightly flushed. Your lips are slightly swollen, waiting for me to kiss them. You're standing within easy reach so that I can just cup your breasts like this," suiting actions to words, "and you're not trying to back away. Also, you've kept your voice down at all times, not really trying to tell to stop."
Neil smiled at Janet, while she stood there glaring at him, speechless. "I'll tell you what. I'll count to three. If you haven't slipped down your panties by then, I'll do it for you. One. . . . ."
