Part 1
Even now that night was so vivid in my mind, every touch, every scent, every groan, and every orgasm. I could still remember the feel of his hair beneath her fingertips. I can easily recall how his stomach tightened up quickly at the first bold touch of her mouth to his hungry cock. This memory had fueled so many of my fantasies over the past few weeks that I had that night permanently imprinted to my brain.
*****
It had started out like any other Friday evening. My plan was to take myself out to dinner, come home and take a nice hot soak in the tub while I read that new trashy romance I'd been saving. The week had been like so many other weeks, consumed with work and children; vacillating between "Mrs. A."— teacher extraordinaire—and Mom. I was tired and frustrated; definitely in need of a glass of wine.
I had picked the restaurant based on the fact that I knew it was never overly crowded and they offered my favorite wine. Because I was by myself, I always sat at the bar, so I never had to wait for a table. The food was okay, nothing spectacular, but at least I didn't have to cook it for a change.
Tonight when I entered I noticed that it was a little bit more crowded than usual. My usual seat in the center of the bar was taken so I was forced to grab the only available chair at the end, near the entrance. Not self-conscious, and feeling the need to relax, I confidently smiled at the bartender to get his attention. I really needed that drink.
"What can I get you?" he asked with a friendly, if not mechanical smile. He was a good looking guy as far as young men went. He looked to be about twenty-three, barely able to drink a beer, let alone serve it. With his dark curly hair, dark eyes and deep dimples, he'd capture the fancy of most women, but not me. Pretty young boys were not my thing.
"I'll take a glass of your Kendal Jackson, pinot noir," I said with a smile, and added, "Can I also have a menu?" He returned quickly with the menu and the wine. I took my first grateful sip of wine, letting the delicious liquid sit on my tongue for a moment to savor the flavor before swallowing. Perfection.
While sitting there sipping my wine and looking over the menu, I became distracted by the feeling that I was being watched. I looked up from my menu only to capture the powerful dark gaze of a man sitting a few chairs away. Realizing I had caught him staring, the corner of his full lips raised into a small smile, revealing an intriguing dimple. Not one to blush, but not really knowing how to respond, I smiled back shyly and moved my eyes back to the menu. "My God!!" I thought as my eyes stared blankly at the menu. Now THAT is a man.
Even though it had only been seconds, I had the distinct impression of a tall, substantial body, one that begged for attention. Easily six foot, about 230 or so, dressed casually in a pair of dark jeans and a clinging black t-shirt, he was exactly the type of man that would capture my attention. His dark hair was closely cut to his head, and his features wear bold and unique, not a pretty-boy, but definitely handsome. My mind reeled at the thought that he had been staring at ME. I knew I was attractive, but I didn't see myself as the type that a man would pick out to stare. I was after all a bit too curvy for my five foot tall frame. I'd learn to be comfortable with my body and knew that some men appreciated it. But I also kept hearing my ex husband's voice in my head when he used to criticize me for being fat.
With a sigh at the turn my thoughts had taken, I went back to studying the menu with renewed focus. Maybe I'd have a salad, spare myself the added calories...
I only had a split second to realize someone had taken the empty seat next to me at the bar before chills ran up my spine and down my arms when that person leaned in so close his lips were almost brushing my ear. "Can I sit here?" he asked in a husky whisper than tickled my ear and my senses, instantly making me wet between my thighs. My body knew who it was before I turned my head in response to the question. My eyes lit upon the man from moments before, now sitting surprisingly close and leaning in closer.
Rather than making me nervous or uncomfortable, a sense of calm came over me. I could smell his musky masculine scent. I could feel the warm woodiness of his cologne settle around me like a thick blanket. Warmth fired through my veins and my breath became shallower. I felt instant need racing through me. Self-doubts fled in the wake of overwhelming desire. Good lord this had never happened so quickly. He had only said four words to me! Jesus, I must be hard up.
"Be my guest," I answered him in a slightly huskier voice than is natural to me. I turned to him, looking him straight in the eyes. What I saw in his eyes made my breath catch then speed up slightly...I saw desire flame up there. I could tell he was equally affected by my nearness as I was to him. He settled in his chair, turning towards me, our outer thighs touching. "My name is Val," I offered with a slow smile.
He responded to my offered hand by taking it into his much larger hand, enveloping it. Little pleasant electrical currents surged where our hands met. Rather than shake my hand, he lifted it to his lips and brushed his lips across the top, lingering for a few seconds before he looked up to my face again. "A pleasure to meet you my sexy Val. I'm Davis."
At this point his eyes broke contact for just a moment as his gaze wandered down slightly. Before leaving home that evening, I had put on one of my favorite summer dresses. I knew it framed my abundant breasts perfectly. I could tell he appreciated the sight because his little smile was back and his eyes lit up when they met mine again.
"What are you doing here alone, Val?" he asked me, leaning in close again. I knew the unspoken question was if I was waiting for someone. He wanted to know if he was about to stumble onto someone else's territory. Little did he know that I had purposefully kept myself single. I had my friends with benefits for those moments I didn't want to be alone, but I enjoyed my quite moments alone, even if it was out to dinner.
"Why?" I asked flirtatiously, "Is it bad that I am alone? From my perspective, I'm thinking it's a good thing." I ended this statement with a little wink and a wide smile. He responded by laughing quietly. He knew I was flirting.
"Can I get you another glass?" he asked, nodding towards my now empty glass. Did I honestly not notice finishing that glass of wine? Maybe that was why I felt myself heating up from the inside out. I honestly didn't feel buzzed though.
"Ummm, I'd better not. I need to drive myself home." I regretted this idea because I knew that meant I'd have to leave the company of this electrifying man far sooner than I wanted to.
Davis was quiet for just a moment as he though the same thought was playing out in his mind. Then with what seemed like a look of determination settled over his features. He sat up straighter, raised his hand and motioned to the bartender. "Miss Val here will like another glass of wine and I'll take another Heineken." He turned back to look at me directly in the eye, challenging me to deny him. I didn't have the heart to, nor the will power.
"I'll tell you what, my sexy Val. I am visiting here from San Luis Obispo for a few days, and I have a room at the Courtyard across the street. If you need to to sober up after a drink or two, I'm thinking it's the perfect place to..." At this point the bartender placed our drinks in front of us. Davis nodded and continued, "...relax, hang out, or whatever else you'd like to do." He left the implications of his words sink in as he took a deep drink from his beer, but never breaking eye contact. Hesitating only a moment, I picked up the wine glass, holding his gaze and took a lengthy sip, acquiescing to his will.
For the next hour and two glasses of wine latter, Davis and I chatted, flirted and teased. He sat close to me, our thighs never really losing contact. I would laugh at his humor, which he was abundantly full of, he'd compliment me outrageously. I was feeling relaxed yet warm. I was becoming more and more sure of one thing: I wanted this man like I had never wanted a man. I knew where the evening was going and I planned on meeting it. My skin was tingling, my nipples were hard and itchy, and my panties were becoming increasingly more damp.
Emboldened by the wine, I acted on instinct and did something that surprised both of us. In mid-joke I interrupted him by putting my hand on his cheek and leaning in for a small lingering kiss. When I pulled back I whispered, "I got tired of wondering what you taste like. I hope you don't mind, Davis."
"I don't mind at all, Val," he whispered, "but I have some tasting of my own I'd like to try out. But that can't happen here. How about we take this back to my room. I don't want to scare you with my offer. I promise you're in total control of the situation. Anything we do or don't do is totally up to you." He looked up at me with hope, yet I know he knew what my answer would be.
I didn't feel the least be awkward about what I was about to do. I didn't know him, but my body seemed to. The chemical reaction it had displayed from the first glance told me I needed this man and needed him now. I didn't have the luxury of a long courting process, no did I want one. I just knew we was connecting on many levels: chemically, emotionally, and psychological. The attraction wasn't one-sided, I knew, and I didn't see a logical reason to talk myself out of taking what I wanted from the situation. Okay, so we were virtual strangers, but somehow that meant nothing when I felt so much need and curiosity. Casual sex was rarely fulfilling, but somehow I knew the encounter, although not planned nor promising a future, would be memorable, if not sexually epic. Every cell of my body told me this was truth.
