"Damn it's cold in here," I think, wishing that I could shove my hands into my bra to warm up my achingly taut nipples. I cross my legs again in an attempt to stay awake as yet another vice president of blahblahblah spouts company rhetoric. As my left leg drops over my right knee, my skirt slides a little higher up my thigh than probably it should, given the environment. I don't care though, you are wearing cologne or aftershave that probably has more to do with making my nipples taut then the freezing temperatures in the room. I glance over at you and notice your awareness of the view of my thigh. I smile innocently as you catch my gaze, thinking it will embarrass you. I am wrong, and I am surprised. You hold my gaze, slowly smiling and lowering your glance back to my thigh. I find myself warming as the blush creeps up my face—not usually one to be demure, I find myself unable to look you in the eye. From my surreptitious glance I see your slightly smug smile as you gives your attention back to Mr. BlahBlah at the front of the room. I can no longer concentrate and just let my mind wander. I imagine you reaching over to slide your hand up my thigh where we sit. The thought makes me squirm and I am forced to uncross my legs and sit a little straighter trying to fight for control.
Eventually, Mr. BlahBlah has finished his presentation and we all clap politely as we gather our materials—pretending to be excited over the reports we are required to complete for tomorrow morning's session of the conference. Inwardly I am groaning---I was looking forward to climbing naked into the smooth Egyptian cotton sheets and enjoying the quiet evening. "So much for that little fantasy," I mutter.
"Excuse me?" you ask.
"Oh nothing," I reply. "Shit. I said that out loud," I think to myself.
"I was looking forward to a nice drink at the bar and then relaxing in my room. And now we have this damn report to do!"
I laugh, "That's actually what I was just muttering about!"
You chuckle. "I bet EVERYONE is muttering—but smiling about it so they don't appear disgruntled!"
"You are probably right. Well, enjoy your evening of reports!" I lean over to grab my bag so that I can go grab a bite to eat and perhaps one drink before thrusting myself into the land of reports and spreadsheets.
"Hey, I have an idea," you say, gathering your belongings also. "If you'd like, maybe we can grab dinner, discuss the reports, then do them together so that we can have some portion of our evening be enjoyable."
The smile on your face charms my nipples into tautness again as I again imagine your hands on me. "That sounds great!"
"How about we meet in the lobby in twenty minutes and have dinner at the restaurant. I've heard it's actually not vile and that the drinks are good."
"Sounds like a deal!" As I walk passed you, you put your hand on the small of my back and walk with me. Your hand through my thin blouse is scalding, instantly warming the chill of the room out of my entire body. We continue to make small talk as we exit the conference, introducing ourselves.
"My room is on the first level," you tell me.
"I'm on 3. I will see you in twenty?"
"Sounds great. I'm not going to change---except I'm losing the jacket and tie. I hope that's ok. I didn't really pack any presentable in public clothes except the suits."
"Me either! I was just looking forward to getting comfortable and having room service."
"Well, if you'd rather not go to dinner...."
"Oh, no! That's not it. I'm glad you suggested combining efforts. I think it will go much faster and then we'll be able to do what the bosses want AND we can have a chance to relax," I reassure you.
"Ok, see you in twenty!"
Once in my room, I toss my luggage down, put my laptop bag on the desk, and go into the restroom and get a glance at the flush of my skin just thinking about being near you for an extended period of time. "Damn! You are not a teenager any more. You are a professional woman. Get a grip. He is probably not interested in you like that anyhow." Ignoring myself, I massage lotion onto my arms and on my neck. The scent of gardenia rises to mingle with the memory of the scent of you. I slide my hand inside my bra and rub lotion on my breast, pinching the nipple. I repeat on the other side, closing my eyes and imagining it is your hand. I shake my head to snap myself into reality so that I can make it to the lobby. I can feel the damp in between my legs and the accompanying ache. I wish I had time to give myself release so that I can concentrate on the reports we'll have to do after dinner. I decide that if you are going to remove the constrictions of your tie, I'm going to eliminate my hose. I slide them down and realize that my legs could use lotion as well. I lift my bare leg onto the counter and rub the lotion slowly up my ankle to calf and down again. I pour more lotion into my hand and massage the silky smooth gardenia scent along my thigh. At the top, near the dampness, I allow the back of my hand to graze the moist heat. I bite my lip—wishing again we'd agreed on thirty minutes. Quickly I apply lotion onto the other thigh, wondering if I should put the hose back on to get myself under control. I decide that I will live dangerously and hope that I remember not to bend over too far and expose that I was most decidedly not wearing panties. I spray a touch of identical scent over my dress and turn out the light. I grab my room key and purse, take a deep breath and prepare to torment myself with your nearness for dinner.
As I step off the elevator, I see you walking towards the lobby. I feel the tightening in between my legs and hope that you aren't aware of the thoughts that I'd had about you just moments ago.
"You got comfortable as well," your eyes slide up my bare legs.
"It's only fair! You got to take off your noose!"
You laugh as you again place your hand on the small of my back. "True. True. Let's have dinner."
Dinner is a blur. I am sure the dinner tasted fabulous. My drink is made to perfection. Tart and sweet. "Just like me," I smile to myself.
