Chapter 1: Words To Skin
The instant we were face-to-face only one thought entered my mind: devour. This would be done slowly. A process that would entail ripping off your clothes and kissing every inch of your body as it became exposed. The key word here was 'slow'. Or was it savour? Maybe torture? Oh hell, I'm sure it was all three and more! Seeing you now for the first time, it became crystal clear that this was my new life mission! However, we were in a parking lot – not exactly good outdoor, public etiquette.
Being an erotica writer, I received lots of interesting mail along with some not-so-interesting. But, on occasion someone's words would grab my attention and make me smile. Yours had.
It started out as just another amusing comment to one of my stories – a tad more intellectual than the rest but then again, that was an attraction in itself. I answered your note in my typical, enthusiastic fashion but for some reason was careful how I chose my words. There was a little voice inside my head cautiously flagging this one.
So it began. Over the next few weeks we corresponded playfully as writer-to-writer. It was innocent, revealing and sometimes blushingly honest. Before we knew it, a foundation of trust had been laid down—we were becoming friends and confidants. You made me laugh the day you summarized our relationship as girltalkfriends.
I can't really say at what point the words shifted from the safety of us telling stories - to the stories becoming fantasies about us. At first our messages skirted clarity of just who we were talking about, leaving the details open for interpretation. Then intimacy crept in - intimacy about us. You were creative and sensual, deep and dirty – I liked all your layers and delighted in peeling them off, slowly, one-by-one.
We wrote endlessly, using the Literotica site as our favourite channel for letter writing. It became a special place—our place. The messages were passionate, touching body with word, while our lives unfolded with stories of family, our hippie days, music and books. I loved getting lost in our world and couldn't wait to turn on my computer everyday —my connection to you.
It became inevitable — we needed to touch.
I bit my lip and walked over to you trying to conceal my smile. Finally, there I was standing in front of the man I knew so well but had never met. The two pictures you had sent me hadn't done justice to your water-blue eyes and schoolboy smile. I could hardly wait to kiss your mouth. As if you read my mind, you took me in your arms and we kissed for the first time. It was timid, unsure—we both held back a little, waiting for a reaction. Then you pulled away and looked at me with sheer delight in your eyes. Curious and wanting more, we were drawn back into another kiss – this one a little longer, a little deeper.
"This is nice, (another kiss) ...very nice." I could hardly make out your whispering words between kisses. You know those kisses – the hungry ones – the ones that slide into each other – sensually desperate. We finally pried our mouths and bodies apart and laughed at our teenage behaviour. Here we were, two 50 year olds standing in a parking lot, necking.
This felt wonderful - like the hundreds, no, thousands of words we had written to each other over the past 5 months. I'm sure we spoke between kisses but I can't quite remember what was said. I do recall not being able to stifle a continuous flow of soft moans escaping at will and not caring. My body melted into yours. Your lips tasted and felt exactly like our words had pictured them; honey-dipped and sensual.
"Maybe we should get going?" I said, having a temporary moment of lucidity. (kiss) "Is it a long drive?" (kiss)
"Yes. (kiss) That's a good idea...I mean...no...it's not too far – maybe 45 minutes... (kiss) ...or so."
It was pretty evident we were getting a little frazzled at how lost our kisses could make us feel. Lost in the moment. Lost in a parking lot. My body was actually shaking and I wondered if you were going to be okay driving. I sure wouldn't have trusted myself behind the wheel. Trying to focus on something other than your body was like asking me to pilot us to the moon while doing calculus.
I could hear the eagerness in your voice as you picked up my overnight bag. "Let's get going. I want to kiss you while we're standing in the ocean."
Arm-in-arm we walked to the car, afraid that if we let go one of us might disappear – the dream would end. My heart was racing as you opened my door. This was my first affair.
The conversation during the hour car ride was easy. It was more like filling in the blanks that our internet messages hadn't had time for. And you were funny! Now, hearing the inflections in your voice, I appreciated your humour and what amused you.
We made our way to the highway successfully and then it happened. You touched me. Your hand rested on my leg and my body reacted with something close to the intensity of an electric shock. I wasn't sure what to do. I hadn't been in this situation for close to two decades. Do I respond? Should I touch you or do I just relax and enjoy it? I was so new at this. I went with door number 3 and continued our conversation, watching your fingers drawing circles just above my knee. It was intoxicating. My concentration drifted from your words to your touch and then struggled back to your words again. All doubt was slowly being erased as my body responded and opened up to you. I smiled realizing I wanted to go through with this—and how!
Close to an hour later, we turned into our motel parking lot and were hit with a stunning view stolen right from a postcard.
"Wow! It's beautiful." I was mesmerized. This certainly wasn't the typical panorama a Canadian girl was used to seeing in mid March!
