Ava knew that his eyes had been upon her, some sixth sense drawing her gaze to him, and she had not minded that it had been so; in fact, she had relished the prospect of being taken out of herself with a man like him if it could be arranged.
The object of her attention, when she had chosen to look his way, looked suave and sophisticated. He was well dressed in a dark blue suit and a crisp white shirt, open at the neck and with one button undone. His swept-back hair must have been black, for that colour showed through both greys and white strands that served only to make him even more attractive than a first glance had revealed to her. She felt taken by his straight-lipped sensual mouth, slender nose, attentive eyes that had answered her look his way, and a first wondering smile he directed at her creased his lean face. His neatly tended stubble beard also showed the first signs of grey but, strangely, he looked 'on trend' and certainly not old and not worth her time.
Yeah, he was bound to be some years older than she was but right then she did not care. What she wanted to do was to get closer to him and to talk; to then see where these early moments between them would take her. If it did not happen, and she now knew that the moment would have to wait, then she would exchange some contact details and go from there.
"Well, where's it all going?" one giggling friend prompted as they made the most of a night out together and prepared to leave the glitzy bar.
"I'll deal with it in my way," she replied, flicking at her blonde hair that cascaded, like a waterfall, down each side of her face. For their night out she had chosen a white bustier that was worn under a see-through free-flowing white blouse and a brightly patterned body-con skirt that flattered long slender legs. She had dressed to please herself and to feel comfortable and not to pull guys who came onto her, but a man like the one she now looked at for one last time. "Now, come on, let's go to the club we said we'd try out."
She had to pass close to where he sat on a bar stool and she stopped to murmur her name and to get him to tap her iPhone number into his. "My friends dared me to do this..."
"And I'm hoping that you want to do it for yourself," he smiled and discreetly gave her the eye even as he tapped in her number. "I don't just flirt with anyone and I'm glad that I did it with you."
She had to laugh at his directness and was taken by his disarming smile. He had succeeded in tearing free any sense of restraint that she may have felt about what she was doing. ''I'll wait for a text or a call, but tell me your name?"
"Tony Randall. And yours?" he answered looking at her friends for an instant. She loved to see his profile.
"Ava Chandler," she smiled, not the least concerned about the directness of his gaze. "I'm pleased to meet you, Tony."
"You'll be hearing from me, Ava, I promise."
She knew already, as she walked away and rejoined her friends, that she was looking forward to making contact with him and doing so properly.

While she boogied and had fun, younger guys came onto her and she played them along, she wondered how she could have become smitten with a guy who must be some twenty years or so older than she was. At twenty-five years old she'd had her share of guys closer to her age so what she felt now was somewhat bizarre.
Tony had been impeccably dressed and polite, but she had not missed noticing how his eyes took her in and it was that look of his that kept on coming to mind. She wondered what could be found under that calm exterior of his, the restraint in Tony as they simply exchanged contact details.
And then, as she sipped on some outrageously coloured cocktail and took a break from the dancing, and waved off a young guy who kept coming onto her, she received a text.
Hi, beautiful! How about meeting me for a drink and doing that without so many prying eyes around us? T
She didn't need any time to think it over, the thrill that she felt coursing through her body enough to persuade her to answer him and to see where a reunion took her.
Hi, persistent! How about tomorrow night and where? Ava
A laughing emoji is tacked on the end of her message before it is sent.
Ava, OK! Tomorrow at eight and here at my place, and I'll be looking out for you! I'll tap out the address and send it in a moment or two. Tony

She had ample time, after coming home from work, to get ready for her rendezvous with an attractive older man. They had arranged for her to be at his place for eight, so she made sure she was as fresh as a spring flower, washed and her legs and arms shaved, the woman's razor gliding over her skin until it felt silky smooth. She felt horny from imagining his hands on her and the prospect of the attention an attractive man would pay to her.
At a quarter to eight, she's ready and decides to take a few sips of wine, the small glass shaking in her hand as she does so. She's scarcely spoken to him, but the arrangement to visit Tony at his place has been reached. It's surprisingly close to where her apartment is and yet she has never seen him before.
It's not so far and she decides to ride her bicycle. The evening's warm and cloudless, and her floaty summer dress is demure. Her silky, almost see-through, lingerie is not and it's light sky-blue goes so well with her light tan and her hair. Both bra and panties fit snugly against her skin and no man has been disappointed with what she brings to his sight and touch, let alone what she does with him if the circumstances are right.
Tony's place is modern, small, and single-story, with an asymmetric roof and timber-boarded facades to the roadway. It has a short driveway and she sees his gleaming Audi A3 parked on it. Just who is she calling on? Of greater concern is why and at his place, and not on neutral ground until they know where it will all go if they click.
She parks her bike against a sidewall, the gate helpfully left open, and she walks nervily up to Tony's front door. As she does so the door opens soundlessly. And there his, the man she had thought about; obsessed about more like.
"Hey! I'll close the side gate so no one can see your bicycle. Even around here, we don't take any chances."
