It was exceptionally hot at the barbeque that Saturday, but no one seemed to mind. It was a party complete with lots of food, liquor, loud music, and people milling in and out of the back yard. The pungent smell of searing meat over smoldering charcoals filled the air and Michel was feeling hungry, as usual. He headed toward the table to grab a plate and was completely taken aback by a pair of huge brown eyes smiling his way. He glanced behind him to make sure she was looking at him. When his eyes returned to her, she met his gaze with a smile.
She stood alone and he wondered if someone was there with her. As he contemplated his next move, she walked into the house. Suddenly, he wasn't interested in what was on the table. What he wanted was inside that house and that is where he had to be. He was overcome with the urge to know her. He didn't know if she was with someone and he really didn't care.
Sean spotted him as soon as he walked through the gate. He was tall . . . really tall. His skin was golden in the sun and he looked at her with expressive eyes that hid secrets she wanted to uncover. She had never seen him before and didn't know who invited him, but he appeared to arrive alone and since she was solo as well, she looked at him, hoping he'd see the invitation in her smile. He looked away, then back at her and she smiled again. Sean waited for a moment for him to approach her, but he didn't. She shrugged and went inside to get a drink. It was stifling outside and she could really use some air conditioning anyway.
Bending in front of the open refrigerator, Sean perused the variety of cold beverages, but her mind was still on the handsome stranger. Had she misread the look in his eye? Did he not like what he saw when he was looking her up and down? She was certain he wondered what was beneath the denim mini skirt she wore. Was she wrong? She grabbed a Corona, closed the refrigerator door and there he stood.
"Can I get you something?" she asked him. He stared into her eyes and replied,
"What I want isn't in the fridge."
"I'm sorry?" she said.
"I want something, but it's too hot to be in the fridge."
"Oh, I see. You like to flirt," she said. He stood, his unblinking eyes fixed on her and said,
"Call it what you want."
Nothing like this had ever happened to Mike before. She was a perfect stranger, yet he could not shake the feeling that they somehow connected. It was more than physical. It was mystical. He wanted to touch her. He wanted to kiss her. He wanted to know every inch of her chocolaty skin. Mike wanted her and he couldn't make himself walk away. He was about to say something witty when one of her girlfriends burst through the kitchen door and went to the fridge.
"Girl, you comin' back out? The old heads 'bout to throw them bones and there's a lotta money at stake! I hope don't nobody start shootin'! You comin'?" she asked, pausing at the door. Sean looked at Mike, then at her friend.
"It's way too hot out there, girl! I need some AC. I'ma chill in here with my Corona and watch some TV for a minute. I gotta cool off," Sean replied, fanning herself with her hand and placing that frosty bottle of beer against her cleavage. Her friend walked out and Sean stood looking up at the stranger. "Wanna watch some TV with me?" she asked him.
His heart nearly beating out of his chest, Mike felt faint watching her move the beer bottle up and down between her breasts. That's when he knew he was right. There was a spark between them and she felt it, too. He decided to throw caution to the wind and go with his instincts. She took his hand and led him into the den.
The blinds were all closed and it was dark except for the light cast by the music videos on the plasma TV. They sat on the sofa and she moved close, placing her hand on his knee. Her touch set him on fire. The rap video featured beautiful, scantily clad women dancing erotically, touching themselves and grinding on each other. Sean was already turned on just by the way this man looked at her, like she was a pork chop and he was starving. She watched him lick his lips and wondered if they were as soft as they looked.
Trying to focus on the TV, Sean could feel his gaze upon her and knew something special was going to happen. Her mind raced. If something jumped off, where could they go? One of the bedrooms? A bathroom? As she contemplated, she felt his fingers on her inner thigh and she gasped. She didn't look at him but kept her eyes on the music video, wondering how far he was going to go. Sean moved her hand up his leg and felt the huge bulge in his pants.
