They knew they only had a short time before their absence would be noticed. That they had gotten up and exited the room near the same time was nothing to make note of, but both being gone for much longer than it takes to use the restroom would be scrutinized.
Knowing their spouses were jealous of their "past" friendship, and it could be assumed neither were thrilled they were all in attendance at the same party.
However, this wouldn't damper their thrill, excitement, and mounting desire. It had been years. Even though they exchanged the occasional checking-in and what-if text messages, occupying the same space after so long felt like a monumental ordeal, and it was going without saying no opportunity would be wasted.
Near the front entrance of the restaurant he had spotted a small side room that looked unoccupied, perhaps previously used as a coat check in, and messaged her a simple "follow my lead." Having watched him leave the table and exchange a few pleasantries while exiting the private party room, she leaned in to her husband and excused herself to use the ladies room. Without making eye contact with any other attendees, she quickly made her escape. And that's exactly what it felt like.
An escape. It was accompanied by a sense of urgency, the unknown, all the fantasies of their reuniting hammering her mind all at once. She spotted him down the hallway, and couldn't keep in the smile as he looked over his shoulder confirming she was following.
As soon as she cleared the threshold of the small dark room, he quietly secured the door, locking it in place. Before she had the chance to even whisper a hello, he turned her, shoved her to the wall and positioned himself behind her.
She didn't protest. If she were to be 100% honest, she, too, preferred skipping the small talk.
They avoided talking before tonight about what would happen or set any expectations, rather agreeing to simply be grateful to steal glances and hear each other's voices. But now, having all her senses assaulted by this man, she gave up control to her body, and to him.
He leaned in, pressing his hardness against her ass, seemingly to fit perfect with her size and shape. They'd originally met when so young and never been able to fully explore one another how they'd wished. So far it was much better than imagined.
Sliding his hands along her arms, he gripped her wrists keeping her hands planted firmly against the wall. She had caught herself when he'd shoved her to the wall, and he couldn't help but think this is exactly where he wanted her.
She'd grown accustomed to being intimate at a comfortable, familiar level with her husband, and realized she hadn't been this turned on in a long time. If this was to be the only chance she was ever granted to be in this man's arms, she wasn't going to waste a second of it.
She took advantage of wall leverage and pushed her butt back into his hardness. This earned her an almost growl along with a "don't". He moved his left hand down to her hip area pushing her mid section back into the wall. Too much too fast and it's all be over before it even began. They are still touching body to body with just a little less pressure on his cock.
Of course, being the brat she is, she does it again. Arching her back, her ass finds his hard cock again, this time grinding a bit more with the move of her hips back and forth, slowly. This really elicits a reaction from him.
His right hand releases her wrist and slides up the back of her neck taking a handful of hair as if it belongs to him, as if he's done this to her a hundred times before. Using his grip, he turns her head to the side. His lips on her ear in an instant. Left hand again pushing down firmly to lessen the pressure on his cock, determined to do this in his time.
More forcefully this time, he issues a "don't".
Her right cheek is pressed against wall, most likely leaving a smudge of makeup behind as evidence of this encounter. Sensing the rise in tension she smiled, but he failed to see it as he was busy devouring her neck in kisses. Using the handful of hair, he forcefully pulls her head back exposing more bare skin of her neck. Being careful to not leave marks, his kisses became more aggressive.
