"What would you like, Sir," the bartender dressed in a Via Rail uniform inquired to Alexander? "Two glasses of red for me and m'lady," he responded with a chivalrous tone. Alex was the chief business officer for a large health and life insurance firm and was headed to a Canadian Insurance Broker's Association quarterly meeting in Toronto. Although a requirement of his job Alex typically dreaded these meetings. Like most association boards it took for ever to make any decisions and the sleepy tone left him often nodding off. Alex was great at his job advancing positions quickly when he was younger but lately he yearned for more in his life.
"Here you are Gracie," Alex offered as he passed the glass of cheap red wine to his colleague. Their fingertips made contact as the drink was exchanged and Alex sensed a moment of electricity.
Grace worked for a competing insurance firm and was also a board member. She was a 'newbie' as the veterans nicknamed her. Like Alex, Grace was very good at what she did. Though she was new to the board she was definitely not new to the industry.
Alex and Grace were not strangers to each other and had crossed paths several times in the past at industry functions. Nonetheless, it was only recently that they started to develop a friendship. This was their third trip to Toronto and each successive trip their travel conversations had become more and more open. Both Alex and Grace were starting to joke with each other and felt comfortable enough to let loose to and from Toronto with a few drinks.
Alexander grew up as a curious yet cautious child. His parents divorced when he was an infant and he grew up without much of a father figure. His mother raised Alex as a single parent through to his high school years often over showering him with love. As her only child she was naturally protective of him. Alex was the type who wanted to explore the world but the little voice in his head constantly reminded him of his mother's words of safety. After school he would often venture on his bike and every day stretching the distance a little further than the day before until he worried he wouldn't make it home before dark.
From a young age Alex had a curious interest in sexuality. He looked forward to friends stealing their parent's porno mags and at an early age experimented with masturbation. A friend a year older than him gave him some pointers and he was giving himself orgasms before sperm was even being manufactured in his testes. Only clear seminal fluid was a by-product of his nightly research.
Alex constantly struggled between balancing 'reason' and 'curiosity' throughout his life. However, when it came to sexuality his shy nature usually over powered his curiosities. Alex was sent to a private all boys school in 8th grade and his relationships with the opposite sex were seriously diminished. It wasn't until university when Alex had his first exposure to sex with a female. He was still a virgin at the age of 19.
University was good to Alex. He was much more outgoing and had overcome most of his shyness. Although still nervous with girls, he was confident enough to have conversations and go out on a few dates. In his first year he had many firsts: first breasts he felt, first blow-job, first cunnilingus, and over the first summer he lost his virginity to a nice girl. He cared for her but didn't love her which became an issue within a month or so. In his second year he actually fell in love with a girl named Jen. He was far from looking for a wedding ring but there was a connection he hadn't felt since his puppy love crushes in grade school. Jen was still a virgin the first week they dated and had hopes to wait until marriage. Needless to say the second week she was no longer a virgin. Contrary to what you may think Alex was a gentleman. He respected her wishes but her wishes faded very quickly after a few days of foreplay.
The two experimented with their sexuality during that first year like little mischievous children. Mutual masturbation, toys, and even the odd public sex was part of their repertoire. It was all reciprocated fun until she went home that summer. Her mother was a New Born Christian and the guilt set in. No more sex until marriage! Huhhh...Alex thought???!!! I love her but this will be torture he thought. "Finally I met someone with the same desires as myself only to be cock blocked by her mother's guilt."
Luckily she was not quite the Christian her mother wanted her to be and over the next couple years they continued having sex but the frequency was less than half of what it used to be. Like most 21 year olds life was too short to settle down and a mutual break up was inevitable.
Over the next few years Alex 'played the field' so to speak accumulating a few notches on his belt. Through all his escapades, half a dozen in all, not one of the girls created the spark he got when there was a true connection with someone. Alex eventually married a girl of reason. A girl whose parents stayed together through thick and thin unlike his own. A smart hard working girl. A proper girl you could take home to mom and have instant approval. A girl that would raise your children to the same high standards and constantly feared for their well being. He married a girl not unlike his mother. Her name was Maria.
Not unlike many married couples their sex life had peaked on the honeymoon. On the first day they both noticed the topless girls around the pool but Maria was too shy to bare hers. However, within a few hours she drummed up enough courage to untie her bikini and her B cup breasts glistened in the sun from the sun tan lotion. The following day while fooling around in the pool and unbeknown to other deck worshippers Alex worked his fingers under her bikini bottoms. She was slippery between the pool water and her own wetness. Maria reached around and squeezed Alex's swollen member through his shorts. They were behind the waterfall so they were slightly covered and the disturbance of the water made it impossible to make out what was occurring below the surface. Alex pulled the crotch of her panties aside for more uninhibited playing. Maria followed suit and slipped the waist band lower on Alex's swim suit so the tip of his penis poked out. She rubbed the head of his penis with her thumb and fore finger. After a few minutes Alex positioned Maria so that her vagina hovered over his penis. Alex slipped his penis in her slippery canal and immediately they both looked around to ensure their taboo act was concealed. It was awkward trying not to be noticed in the standing position they were in. Alex could only penetrate half of his 7" penis inside her. Within a few minutes Maria said, " let's get out of here," with a wink of her eye.
The first year of marriage they made love 3-4 times a week. After their first child was born they did it twice a week. After the second it was once a week and after the third they were lucky to have sex twice a cycle. Alex was masturbating at a 4:1 ratio these days. Toys had been introduced into their love making but for the most part sex was routine with little excitement. Alex tried to introduce variety into their sex live's but was always shut down. Instead he lived vicariously through his imagination and the fantasies he dreamed about before bed.
Grace and Alex sat at a table with their wines and made small talk. "I'd have to say these meetings can be boring but I do enjoy getting away from the buzz at home once in a while," Grace said to Alex. "I'd have to agree. Having a dinner without crayons or high chairs is nice. And sleeping in a hotel bed all to myself feels like freedom," Alex replied. "I know eh. It's almost erotic to be free from the normal," Grace responded. Alex was thrown off by Grace's candidness. He felt the same way. Often on these trips he was hornier than usual and most nights broke out into a good masturbatory session while watching internet porn. He couldn't help but wonder if she had similar routines. "Shit. You too! I rarely sleep naked at home but have the urge every time I'm in a hotel," Alex offered his own candidness to test and see how liberal Grace really was. "Well I don't usually wear much to bed when at home other than a long t-shirt... I don't know if it's the sheets or the fact that a stranger is next door to me but I feel more sexier than usual in a hotel," she again responded with little signs bashfulness.
There was a silent pause for a moment as Alex registered the thought in his mind of Grace wearing only a t-shirt and no panties to bed.
Grace wasn't one to pursue special attention through her looks but she had a certain beauty about her that caught Alex's eye. Her smile was full and welcoming. Her hair would flow like the ocean as she fidgeted. She exhibited confidence in her walk with a sense of leadership. She would often touch the person she was conversing with to establish a connection with them. Grace's curves were womanly - full yet fit. Her breasts were a D cup but could be mistaken for a C when wearing multiple layers of clothing. Her eyes told stories that were bewildering. They often displayed signs of mystery, friendship, compassion, deviousness, excitement and sensuality.
