"Nervous, too damned nervous," she thought as she pulled into the hotel parking lot. "What am I doing here?"
She got out of her vehicle, glancing in the mirror first to make sure her hair was good and there wasn't anything stuck in her teeth. She was amazed at how the adrenaline had made her knees really wobbly. "I'm meeting a man, other than my husband, for the first time in years, and I don't know if I can go through with it," she thought.
Part of her was excited almost beyond belief. She could actually feel her nipples rubbing against the fabric of her blouse (she wore no bra). She was a little wet between her legs, and felt a tingle, almost like a contraction, occasionally. She had felt nothing like this in years.
Contrasting with these erotic feelings, however, was the flock of butterflies she felt beating at the lining of her stomach, the dry mouth, and the wobbly knees. "Dirty Knees," he jokingly called them, because of her comment about tanning them darker than the rest of her legs while using the riding mower.
Walking to the front of the hotel was like walking through molasses. It wasn't just the heat and humidity, typical for Florida, but the waves of anxiety she felt. "I can't go through with this, really," she thought.
She mounted the few steps to the hotel doors, and somehow found the nerve and energy to open them. It was cool inside the hotel, and this improved her spirits and lowered the almost-nausea she felt. "I'll just have one drink with him and tell him I'm sorry, but I can't go through with it," she thought.
She located the bar, a darkly paneled wood place, cool, with soft music playing. There he was, in a back corner booth. She'd seen his picture on-line, and he looked much as his picture did. "Take a look at those shoulders," she thought, for his broad, square shoulders were the most striking aspect of his physique.
He noticed her come in; after all, he was expecting her, and was an ex-cop.
He rose, smiling, and she thought, "Oh-oh, I'm in trouble." He had the easy smile of someone at-ease with what was transpiring.
She moved to join him, and he met her several steps away from the booth.
Taking both his hands in hers, he introduced her, maintaining eye-contact the entire time. The feeling of wetness increased.
He escorted her back to the booth, where he had a Margarita waiting for her. "Good memory," she thought. "Wonder what HE has on his mind, as if I don't know."
He reached out and took her hand again, telling her how glad he was that she'd come to meet him. He was stroking her hand the entire time, and the effect was quite erotic. "No use ruining things so soon by telling him I'm leaving," she thought.
