I'm back after a Hiatus. Life gets in the way. This story is inspired both by real events with one lover and a particularly vivid dream about a co-worker. Names have been changed... blah blah... Enjoy, and please, take a second to let me know what you think. -Martin

The door opened to reveal a beautiful, well dressed brunette, wrapped in a tailored dress and blouse that looked like it was hand crafted just for her. Piercing blue eyes, softened by a wide smile, greeted me and made my breath catch a little. She gestured into her Condo and I walked in.
"Did you have any trouble finding the place?" She asked with a smile in her voice, glass of red wine in hand.
I smiled back as she shut the door. "Not really. Google got me here pretty easy, but was absolutely no help finding me a place to park." We both laughed at that.
I followed her into the living room, noticing as I went how nice her condo actually was. I guess I expected all condos to be nice, but hers was elegant. This really shouldn't have surprised me, I guess, because Sasha was one of the more elegant people I knew. She could drink like a college student and cuss like a sailor, but still, she spent an inordinate amount of time hand making much of her dress clothing.
Sasha had been a fashion designer before finding her job at the Newspaper. Ultimately, she hated being forced to make money from her hobby, and reporting on it was so much more fun. Libby and I had met her at a work function where she was a friend's +1. We found out that we had many similar interests and we'd hit it off ever since.
"You know, I gotta say," she began, handing me my own glass from the coffee table. The wine it held was fruity, smooth, and just a little bit peppery. I smiled after my sip. She continued, "At Dale's party last week, when everyone was talking about that couple in the paper who said the secret to keeping their marriage together for the last 30 years was having an open arrangement, you made that joke, 'What's that saying? Marriages are like a fine wine...' and someone said, 'they get better with time?' And you said, 'No, no, the other one. They should be opened and shared with others.' Everyone thought you were talking about that guy and busted up laughing."
I smiled at the memory. Admittedly, I run toward being the funny guy if I'm in a group of people, and sometimes I just can't help but skate the line too close. "Yeah," I said with a coy smile and took another sip of Malbec.
"Well, I was talking to Monica the other day, and she let slip that you and Libby showed her a great time a few weekends ago, and then Libby by her self a couple times after that." She clutched her wine glass nervously with both hands, likely uncomfortable at the thought of being so forward.
I grimaced. "Libby can have a bit of an appetite."
She took a longer drink. To get her courage up? Maybe she just liked the wine. "Well, just to see... that's why I started texting you and flirting. I guess I just... I either didn't think it was real, and Monica was being a weirdo, or..." Her voice trailed off.
"You didn't think I was interested." I smiled and brushed some hair back over her ear. "Babe, we don't prey on our friends," I said with a smile. She smiled back, looked to the floor, then back up to me. I was used to be being more similar in height, but I noticed she was in stockings instead of her usual heels.
"Monica got shit faced drunk and made out with Libby one night when she came over to watch Football. I came back from the kitchen with a plate of Nachos and found her with a hand up Libby's jersey and their tongues in each other's mouth." I stepped closer. "I've been interested in you since day one, but at the time, you were all into that band jerk, and seemed happy, so I was hands off."
I wrapped my left arm around her waist, pulling her closer. I could feel her warmth through my shirt. Her soft breasts pressed against my chest, and I'd moved so that her leg was between mine. I know she could feel my growing hardness. I leaned in to that my lips were just centimeters from her ear.
"He's gone, and now I'm here... and would love to put my hands on..." I paused, my words quiet and breathy, my empty hand, glided up and down her back, stopping just at the curve of her ass, then back up to the base of her neck. "Would you like that?" I asked in a whisper.
"Oh fuck yes," she replied, also in a whisper. Her arms were around me, but tentatively, like she didn't believe this was happening. Like one squeeze too much and the bubble would pop, leaving her in the living room alone. But I wasn't going anywhere. I stepped back and took the wine from her hand and placed both glasses down on the table.
Two strong hands gripped her hips. She put her arms around my neck and I leaned in for a soft yet passionate kiss. Her lips were eager and full, her perfume exotic yet familiar. Our tongues danced in each other's mouths and our lips nipped and played with each other. I gripped a little firmer with my hands and guided her back past the couch and against the wall. Our faces never left each others, and as I felt the wall stop our progress, I released her hips. My left hand buried it's self into her hair at the base of her skull, it's strong fingers softly kneading the warm skin there. The right hand explored this woman's body as much as it could. It curled down and firmly traced arc of her ass cheek, kneading and caressing the firm flesh there.
She moaned in my mouth the more I grabbed at her ass. My hand left her hair and found it's own ass to squeeze. I leaned into her, and licked and kissed her neck from her clavicle to her ear. There was a subtle tang of perfume that competed for my attention with the taste of clean, salty skin. "What a wonderful taste," I said between kisses. She let out a short giggle in response.
I moved my mouth back up to her ear. "Can I be in charge?" I asked in a husky whisper. "I remember you saying you liked that."
A smile struck across her brightly painted red lips. "Yes, please. You're in charge," she said, her voice barely audible.
"Good girl," I said. I couldn't see her wide nervous smile.
My hands moved from her ass to her wrists. Gently I raised them above her head and held them there, the backs of her hands held strong against the cold wall. "Don't move them, ok?" I said firmly. She nodded.
