Karalynn waltzed down the stairs and scanned the posh black tie event for any decent looking men. Two golden spheres threatened to explode out the top of her slinky red dress. The salesperson had described it as a plunging neckline and it dipped all the way to the valley between her heaving breasts. Her slender temptress legs were covered with black lace- topped thigh high's. She meandered over to the bar and as she waited for her Bacardi and coke she squeezed her legs together and relished the feel of the silky, smooth nylons against her skin. She smiled at the secret that she kept. She wasn't wearing any underwear. She had slipped them on, but then slid them off again and smiled slyly at her deviousness. She also wore unnaturally high black heels that added inches to her already up- to- there legs.
She sipped her drink from the icy glass as her dark eyes searched the room. Shiny, ebony hair hung down to the middle of her back. It was thick and blanketed her during sex. Her last boyfriend liked to pretend that she was Pocahontas and he was John Smith. She had also been a hula girl for him once. But she wasn't Indian or Hawaiian she was Japanese- American and any man who couldn't figure that out didn't deserve to be with her. Before Karalynn became completely lost in her own remorse a tall, shadowy figure caught her eye.
He made eye contact with her and said adieu to the person he was speaking with. As he moved towards her Karalynn could see his dark hair was long and it reflected the mood lighting of the ballroom. His coffee brown eyes hid any feelings that he was harboring. He was dressed in a black and white tuxedo. He fought his wayward hair to remain behind his ears but it wouldn't. His wide, square jaw was peppered with a five o'clock shadow. They moved towards each other and met along the perimeter wall of the modest sized ballroom. He walked towards her confidently and she swayed her center of sexuality as she moved closer to him. Their eyes remained fixed upon each other and his pink lips transfigured themselves into a smile. Karalynn knew who he was before he introduced himself. He was Jeremy Mcaffee, the C.E.O's son.
But Karalynn was taken with this man and she could feel her heart racing with the optical pleasure that he was providing her. Eye Candy. When they converged the world around them ceased to exist. She raised her pale golden arm and pushed a lock of hair back behind his ear. His gaze startled her and Karalynn was shocked that she had the audacity to touch this Adonis. Her pointed tongue crept out of her mouth and imbued her Randy Red lips with moisture. She politely smiled at him but said nothing. He wished that this goddess before him would speak, but he took the initiative.
"Hello. I'm Jeremy." His voice was deep and meaningful. Karalynn was scared that he was going to be the run of the mill cocky son- of -the- boss, but he wasn't. When he opened his mouth to speak his melodic words resonated like a twenty piece orchestra. He had the voice of an angel and the face of a god. Karalynn's fear that he was going to be all looks and no brain was quickly put to rest. With his introduction he had said so much more than just his name.
"I'm Karalynn." As soon as the words escaped her she wished that she could have taken them back and said them differently. Her voice came out thin and lifeless. She became afraid of the power that this man seem to have over her but she found that she was also strangely enjoying it.
"Would you like to go somewhere more private?" She followed him without answering. Karalynn felt her conscience telling her that she should be wary of this man but she allowed herself to be led into the game room. The walls were paneled with dark wood and the ceiling was low. Jeremy's presence filled the tiny room. Karalynn was apprehensive and her palms were moist with desire and the fluttering in her stomach was growing more persistent. Jeremy walked behind the cherry wood bar and poured himself a drink. Karalynn took note of her surroundings. Rich, chocolate brown carpet made the concrete basement floor luxurious. The walls were bare and the track lighting dimly lit the room. A brown La- Z- Boy chair sat angled in the far corner of the room and a matching couch was perched nearby. Only a red felt topped pool table separated her and Jeremy. She looked over the billiards table and settled on Jeremy's smiling face staring at her.
"Looking for an escape route?"
"Not at all. Should I be?"
"That depends."
"On what, pray tell."
"You." Karalynn nodded.
"Oh."
"Are you enjoying Dad's holiday get together? He thinks that I need to be here. This is my favorite room in the house. I used to come here when I was little to escape from my Mom and Dad's parties. I know, I sound like all the other rich kids, bitching and moaning. But, I never asked to have rich parents. If I had it my way I would give all of this up to have had a father who was there for me. Someone to play pool with me." He nodded towards the pool table and then took a gulp of his Chivas.
Karalynn walked around the pool table and as she did so she sent the cue ball careening into other miscellaneous balls that adorned the top of the table. When she arrived in front of Jeremy she set her brown eyes on him and he put his manly hand under her chin and raised her head. He leaned down and sent her on a roller coaster ride with his kiss. He put his hands under her arms and gently lifted her onto the pool table. She gave herself to him. He was her God and she was his clay to mold. He pushed her long black hair behind her shoulders and started kissing her neck. He nibbled on her earlobe and she moaned her approval.
As she was immersed in the pleasure she noticed a nagging feeling creeping up on her. She wasn't wearing any underwear. It started as a small black dot, like a cavity, but as the sweetness of Jeremy attacked her it took over her body and crippled her. She throbbed with pain. She wanted Jeremy to like her and care for her. She was tired of one-night stands. She wanted someone who wanted more from her than just her body. But deep down she was afraid that maybe there wasn't anything more to her than her body. Whether most of the people that she had slept with cared for her or not the feeling of being wanted was just the same. Or so she thought. But she knew that it wasn't because she still had that emptiness and aching inside of her.
She tried to concentrate on being seduced, but she couldn't. She felt dirty and shameful and she was sick with the thought of the horrified look that Jeremy would have when he found out. She pushed him away and asked him to stop. As she looked up at him her pleading eyes were welling up with tears.
"Karalynn, it's okay." She shook her head and sent pools of salty tears streaming down her face, as she turned red with embarrassment. She had never lost control before and she no longer enjoyed it. "Honey, whatever you want. It's okay. I'm not going to do anything that you don't want." She believed him. The gentleness in this large creature had swept her off her feet again. She was glad that she was sitting on the pool table because her legs would have betrayed her.
She lifted her moistened eyelashes to him and uttered, "I'm not wearing any underwear. I am dirty and shameful and you don't want me. All I am is a body, and nothing more." She was amazed at how honest she was being. Karalynn was not a quiet person, but she was secretive. She avoided all intimate questions with mind games and men found her intriguing. She felt shallow and had hoped that Jeremy would be able to fill the emptiness inside of her.
