Candles
After a long day of work on Friday, being alone for the weekend and finding myself in town, I decided to eat there. A meal and a couple of glasses of wine later, I wandered slowly back to where my car was parked.
I was walking through the "hot" district of town. Each address was for sexual fun; "Men for Men", "Sauna house", "Leather and chains". The gaudy signs further informed that women were allowed in free, couples night and the only places catering to a lone man would buy you love at a price; it was not for me.
Between two of these buildings was a place seemingly unlit, with a darkened doorway and a person on each side. They were dressed identically; black trousers, white shirt - more Matador than waiter, a man and a woman ; they were smiling at me.
"Come in?" said the man. Well I'm....just looking, I was going to say, but the woman smiled again a genuine smile, took my hand and said
"It's OK, come on in". I did.
The place was quite dark inside, a warm darkness lit by candles of all shapes and sizes, colours and scents. I could see people sitting or lying on cushions; many couples, quite a few unaccompanied men. A drink was put in my hand from the woman who had been at the door.
"Champagne for your first visit" she told me. I took the drink and sat on a big cushion. I would finish the drink and go; nothing here for me.
I'm a little timid at first, I don't catch peoples' eye with mine, especially single men in places like that, but I noticed one of the single men looking at me and smiling. In that light I couldn't really see if it was me he was looking at.
Nearly at the end of my drink, he got up and walked across to where I sat. He was in fact a woman, with very short hair, slim, about my height. She smiled and asked
"You don't want to smile back at me?" I explained that I wasn't sure who she was smiling at and she sat down with me. We talked of everything and nothing, until she said quite suddenly "do you like candles?" Well, yes, I did, sort of, but she was already asking me to choose the candle that I liked most, a sort of joke; she had a way of looking at me so seriously and suddenly flashing a smile that lit up the room before melting into that serious look again. So I chose; a candle about 30 centimetres long, 5 in diameter and white. "Oh, that's a good choice!" she said, but didn't say more about it.
She said she was leaving, but if I was free tomorrow....? I was.
The next day, she picked me up at the place we arranged to meet and drove away in the direction of the mountains; said were going to have a picnic by a lake she knew. It turned out to be a beautiful place, secluded, clear water surrounded by larch trees. On the ground were needles from the trees, over a carpet of green moss. The weather was warm and sunny as we ate by this lake. We laughed a lot, talked a lot. We drank a beer or two. We were on the same wavelength for many subjects; we liked each other.
She wore jeans that were in the old style that were loose on her legs, but her natural curves tightened the cloth around her hips. A sleeveless top made from what looked like silk and underneath, very obviously nothing; I watched her nipples and her small breasts as they moved beneath the silk, discreetly I thought, but her smile told me otherwise; and that it was alright.
"Would you like to play a game?" she asked. Not me. Games bore me to death, especially cards.
"Just a simple, fun game with dice", she explained. "It's a little like strip poker; each person must wear the same number of clothes. We take it in turns to throw the dice. If one player throws a six, the other person must take off one item of clothing. Once one person is naked, if the other throws a six, the naked player must perform an act of the other player's choosing. When both are naked, if one throws a six, the other person has lost and must do all the winner asks for the whole of that day. The only other rules are these: No act must be illegal, no act must cause injury, the loser can, if they wish say "stop", the game will end immediately."
I looked around; we were completely alone and had seen nobody all that day. I'd had just enough alcohol to be pretty relaxed and felt we were heading for a naked swim and so to bed; suited me fine.
"OK" I said, "let's play!" We both wore trousers and a top for her, a T-shirt for me.
"Are you....?"
"-Yes I am wearing panties, what kind of girl do you think I am?" She laughed. "Are you wearing any?" I was wearing boxers.
"Right," she said "no socks or bras, too un-sexy." I took off my socks and looked at her nipples, decidedly more pronounced through the silk and she grinned and said, I was already hoping you'd play, when I got dressed this morning!"
So we played, and the first piece of clothing to go was her silk top. She was sun-tanned and healthy-looking and completely unashamed of her body; I liked that.
After that I seemed to hit a losing streak and was down to my black underpants not at all hiding my erection when I started to win again, right down to her panties - black too! - when I threw that last six. It was her serious look she gave me, as she slid the last piece of clothing down to the ground, stepped out and stood there hands at her sides, watching me watch her. I waited. After a long pause she asked me what I wanted her to do. Oh god! Such choice and I must choose just one. A little devil inside me whispered:
"Masturbate!" I said, "Just as you do when you're alone." My mouth was dry and I trembled as I watched her. Her cheeks reddened a little, but slowly her fingers started to move. At first she stroked her body, her thighs, her sides, lifting her breasts, running her palms over her nipples. She stroked the outside, then the backs of her thighs, lifting her buttocks.
