"What floor?" I say, a wink and naughty smile masking the tempest of nerves building inside me.
This is not at all what I intended. This was supposed to be just an online experiment--a flirty exchange of messages to lighten my day, a secret indulgence that belonged only to me. Yet, here I am, almost suddenly, ready to ride an elevator to the hotel room of this man I met in person only hours ago.
I arrived almost incognito, my more formal attire a symbolic departure from my everyday casual wear. In my own head I needed to be someone different today in the event fantasy was to cross into reality. After a few drinks and a whole lot of laughter, I find myself at exactly that nexus and it couldn't feel more right.
In silence, he leads me down the hall, each step signaling an escalation of the anticipation building between my legs. As we cross the threshold into the room, I turn to look at him, the angles of his face shifting upwards into a smile as he met my eyes, making my pulse quicken.
"I want you to relax," he says gently. "We won't do anything you don't want to do."
"No...," I say, almost too quickly. "I'm just... this is fucking crazy," I say anxiously, a hint of embarrassment in my tone.
"If it helps, I'm a little nervous too," he offers, my smile and ease in his presence quickly returning.
He reaches out and pulls me closer to him. Without saying a word and locking eyes with me, he unties my halter letting my dress fall to the floor. His lips fall slightly open as he takes in my body, still adorned with a lacy black bra and panties. I idly wonder whether I wore them to feel sexy, or if my newfound mischievous subconscious expected me to be exactly where I am.
I turn for him slowly, bathing in the wanton desire flushed in his stare. After I complete my circle I move to the corner of the bed and sit, suggestively crossing my legs. "Come, take off my heels," I say playfully.
I delight in his swiftness, as he takes a seat on the floor in front of me. I present my leg to him with pride, its sinewy lines drawn by hundreds of miles of running trails. I try not to react as he holds my calf, his hands on my lower body for the first time. His study of the clasp was quick and within seconds he was unraveling the criss cross of leather that enwrapped my ankle--a lot faster than it took me to put on. It's not my usual style of footwear, but this occasion called for the unexpected.
"These are a little more involved to remove than a pair of Chucks, Cinderella", he joked.
"Today's a day for a lot of firsts it seems," I flirt back.
I cross my legs again, extending the next heel for him. He quickly shifts his body, positioning himself on one knee, gently placing my ankle on top of his thigh. He expertly releases the clasp, his fingers already trained from his initial attempt. Looking up at me, he slowly unwinds each loop, never once unlocking his gaze from mine. My tongue unconsciously traces my inner lip as I watch him lift it from my foot, neatly setting it adjacent to its matching pair. His hands return to my ankle, elevating it gently from his leg, his eyes again locked with mine. With a less innocent smile, he runs his hand up and down my calf, his touch assertive, masculine... confident.
"Am I really going to be the only one half-dressed here?" I ask, masking the lump in my throat as my arousal begins to simmer.
He dutifully stands and begins to disrobe. I watch as each button comes undone, my anticipation hitting a crescendo. As he pulls his undershirt over his head my eyes take in his bare chest for the first time. The dim light in the room paints shadows across his body's chiseled contours and mine. As his hands return to his side, I impulsively reach out, running my fingers over his pecs then down to the lean abs that frame his lower torso.
I move further up on the bed and onto my back, pulling him with me. He lays parallel to me on his side, now openly ogling the curves of my breasts as they rise and descend, my breath suddenly becoming heavy.
Playfully, I put my hand under his chin, forcing his stare upwards. "You'll have more than enough time to acquaint yourself with those," I tease.
"No time like the present," he replies, and in an instant his hand is behind me unclasping my bra. "Take it off," he said assertively.
As if in a trance, I do as he asks, my hands reaching up and delicately pulling the straps off my shoulders and down my arms.
I give him this moment, pushing my arms slightly in to accentuate my feminine curves, presenting my bosom to him.
His hand moves forward, his eyes meeting mine again. I close my own and throw my head back looking to focus all of my senses on his touch. His palm moves gently from the top of my breasts and over my erect nipples sending chills to my lower body. He cups them softly as if savoring their delicateness, looking to know and feel its weight and texture.
I open my eyes to find him instead studying my face as his hands continued to explore. A sense of warmth washes over me as I again take in the moment, his body moving even closer to mine.
I decide right then that I want him. Desperately...
Sensing my mood, his hand moves to the back of my neck, pulling me towards him until our faces were mere inches apart. "I'm going to kiss you," he says matter of factly. "And then I'm going to relieve you of this need you've had burning inside you all this time."
For a moment I freeze--this man, just a name and face to me for months, lying in bed half naked, me almost all-too-ready to spread my legs for him. But in the next moment I'm melting, his tongue tracing gently across my lips, then dancing in rhythmic circles, darting in and out, in symbolic thrusts. To my delight, he pulls me even closer, allowing me to press my mouth more forcefully against his, our hands instinctively exploring each other in response. His fingers soon found their way back to my nipples, his touch hardening them to the point of aching.
I arch my body towards his, nudging his head downwards. He reads my cue with aplomb, turning his attention from my lips to my swollen bosom without missing a beat. As his mouth latches on I throw my head back and moan, losing myself as he sets a hypnotic rhythm with his tongue. Unprompted, he moves from nipple to nipple, expertly using varying techniques upon each exchange, focusing his actions on those that elicit a quickened breath.
