"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.
She found the Margarita to be excellent, so cool and refreshing after the heat of the mid-day Florida sun. "Gotta be careful, here," she thought.
They chatted about this and that: the sale of her house, his job, her job, the heat. Although they were well acquainted with each other from the internet, it was necessary to "break the ice." Soon, however, he surprised her.
She was startled to find his shoeless foot stroking her leg. He'd removed a loafer under the table, and was stroking her legs with his foot. It was a little funny, like something from a movie, but stimulating at the same time. Contrasting urges battled--the desire to laugh, and that throbbing feeling between her legs.
All the while, he acted as though nothing were happening under the table, carrying out idle banter and stroking her hand. Also, she had begin to feel the effects of the Margarita, which she noted with some surprise, was all gone. He smoothly ordered her another.
His foot was tracing lines from her inner thigh down to her foot, and it was VERY distracting. She found herself reflecting on what he had told her he wanted to do with her, and imagining it happening. "Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea, after all," she reflected.
By the time the second drink was empty, she was ready to accept his offer to join him in his room. She got up, a little wobbly, (not the knees, this time) and allowed him to escort her to the elevator.
When the door closed, he pulled her around to make eye contact, and slowly drew his face closer to hers. Their eyes closed and their lips met for that first kiss. He was much gentler than she'd expected, and did not use his tongue at all. The kiss went on, and on, until finally, the car reached their floor.
