At the age of 33, I felt like I had seen my fair share of the world; the good, the bad, the ugly and everything in between. I had so much life to live and so much to offer, but I
did
come with my kit of baggage. I recently divorced my husband about nine months prior and, in short, I was looking for some nookie.
It had been a hell of a year. I had lost my job and then got a new one -- that's where I met James, my much younger boss. He was just beautiful to look at. He had just turned 22 and had dark hair, dark eyes and stood quite tall. We had become friends at work, and we had friendly banter back and forth; he didn't know I had been fantasizing about him since we had first met.
The company I worked for traveled to Boston that winter for a two-day conference. James and I and a few of the other employees were on the same floor of the hotel where we were staying, and that excited me greatly, to know that beautiful young man was showering, dressing and sleeping so close to where I was in bed.
The night before the first meeting, I was in my hotel room getting ready to go down to the hotel bar, hoping that James would be down there as well. I had to admit that my room was quite nice: I had a full-sized bed, a television, all the necessities! The window curtains were spread that revealed the snow falling gently. It was very romantic.
I checked out my clothes and make-up in the full-length mirror: I was about 5'3" with a slim figure, green eyes and blonde hair that was neatly combed back with jeweled barrettes. My dress was clingy but casual, and it hung down to my ankles where, strapped on, were a pair of stilettos. If I couldn't bed James that night, I was going to bed
some
nice man. With the strained relationship I had had with my husband, I hadn't gotten laid nearly a year, and I was getting a little stir crazy.
When I arrived at the bar, I ordered a screwdriver. I was the only one sitting there. To be honest, it felt a little lonely, but that's what the drink was for, right? The bartender attempted feeble conversation, but I just wasn't into it: he wasn't James.
I had pretty much given up hope that I would run into my boss that night. I paid for my drinks and got up, when I saw James rounding the corner to the bar, my heart skipped a beat. I sat back in my seat, clumsily, and almost lost my balance, stumbling at bit. (Stilettos and being tipsy just don't mix.)
James rushed over to me, grabbing my arm and keeping me steady. I looked up into his eyes. We both laughed a little. I thanked him and asked him to join me. He agreed. We ordered two glasses of wine and talked.
"So, what do you think of Boston so far?" he asked, grinning over his wine glass.
I laughed. "Well, it has some good bars!"
He chuckled. "I would've shown you some of the sights if it wasn't snowing out."
"At night? There's not much sight-seeing at night."
"Oh, there are sights to see alright."
I looked over at him, raising an eyebrow. I got his drift. I smiled and scooted closer to him, putting my knee between his two. He rested his elbow on the bar and leaned in close to me.
"Don't tease me, Michelle," he instructed playfully.
I noticed a lump in his pants. That made those hormones of mine flutter around. I could feel myself getting wet for him and my nipples were stiffening. I placed my outstretched hand on his knee.
"How could I possibly tease you?" I asked, taking another sip of wine.
