It was her legs that I saw first. Pressed together, clad in blue denim, they had been placed strategically in front of me. There was something about the curve of those legs that instantly caught my attention. Then my eyes moved from her feet, up the expanse of leg and feasted on her waist. I could see the gleaming silver button of her jeans moving in and out⦠in and out⦠as she breathed. The silver zipper poked mischievously out of its pouch, almost daring me to take hold.
I started as my brain struggled to absorb what the eyes had seen. Did I gasp out loud? Could I have immediately given away my thoughts? Or did it all happen in the twinkling of an eye, the look, the scan, the breath, the thought, all so quick as to be invisible to the observer?
What I do know is that it started at that moment. I was captivated by this body that had so obviously been arranged to present itself to me. It was inviting me, of that I had no doubt.
I donβt remember the conversation now. Her friend was there, but memory excludes the words. What is indelible, though, is the memory of her sitting, stretching in that chair. Do women instinctively know how to do that? Do they know the effect they have when they arrange - and stretch - and arch - their bodies? Do they have any conception of the sensations they arouse as we drink in the splendour of their bodies?
My eyes moved from the waist, moved from a fleeting thought of the delights within, to roam northwards along her torso. She was wearing a shirt, buttoned and clinging ever so perfectly to her taut form. Coloured light blue, it disappeared into the denim around that waist, stretched tight, but punctuated by tiny corrugations of cotton, without disguising the flatness of her stomach.
The shirt rose around her breasts, creating another point of tautness. They seemed so instantly perfect, not large, but so female, so softly firm. There was the faintest hint of undergarment, a slight ridge of material holding the breasts and pressing against the shirt. It only took a split second, but I saw the tiny point of a nipple, straining against the fabric, winking at me.
