We'd been drinking. Well really, what do you expect? I was sitting at home looking directly into the wide, doe-like eyes of the loveliest little filly you ever laid eyes on, so naturally the chance of any suave erudition or seductive wit on my part was directly comparable to the amount of whiskey in my belly. Of course, excess in the fiery liquor might well have proved equally disadvantageous in my attempts to court the charming girl as the fears and anxieties which swirl and multiply in a sober mind; but in this particular case the prospect of my becoming right royally drunk and ruining my chances with the girl were averted, for Mary herself, for that was her name, partook herself of the whiskey, quite liberally for her sex, so that I myself only drank so much as to fill my veins with fire; my cheeks were red, not yet green.
There was a flush in Mary's face too, as she raised a glass to her divine lips, which formed a seductive smile around the rim. Her eyes fixed me intently; I could not look away. I had always hated that about the softer sex, how their eyes seemed to pierce you to your very core, uncovering your true intentions, which are, let is face it, seldom wholly honourable in man's congress with woman. But there was no malice in her gaze. I grew hazy and faint, lost in the contemplation of her heavenly face. A nymph she seemed to a poor wretch like me, a nymph with long, disheveled hair, dancing by the sea to a lilting melody, unheard since the golden days of Sappho...
She is small, just shy of five feet, and her body is slim and supple, moulded for gentlemen's delight. She is like purest marble, but soft to the touch, pulsing with vitality. Smooth slender limbs lend her a poised elegance that belies her height; those legs, sculpted from ivory, are long and languid in crimson high-heels; they were made to dance with a natural grace. Her arms encircle me in a blissful embrace and I feel the curve of her sweeping hips and arched back. Her breasts press against me with perky softness, the ivory globes swelling with each sharp intake of breath. Small and responsive to the touch, each can be cupped snugly in an outspread hand, as they are only partially veiled by the gauzy fabric of her blouse. Her trembling bosom brushes my chest as I press her lithe form to mine, inhaling the headiness of her scent. She is truly a goddess.
I gaze transfixed into her face and feel the warmth of her breath which escapes from pouting, petulant lips like the petals of a blooming red rose, parted slightly to reveal the glimmer of pearly teeth. That mouth I have seen nothing to equal on the face of the earth. To a man with the least fire in his heart that subtle curve in the middle of her red top lip is exquisite in its evocation of innocence coexisting with a burgeoning sexuality. Indeed her face seems to epitomize the whole of her sex: blooming cheeks blushing with the natural pinkness of her youth; magnolia-white skin, flawlessly smooth; a perky nose that alludes still to the naivety of youth; but her eyes speak of a fully-formed woman.
