"Can I ask you something?"
I raised my eyes from the New York Times spread out on the library table in front of me. My eyes stopped briefly, but not briefly enough, while I looked down the dress of the woman leaning over the table.
"Good morning, Rhonda," I said as my eyes reluctantly left the tantalizing glimpse of whiteness of her breasts beneath her dress. "Sure, go ahead. Ask away."
She smiled mischievously.
"You may have just answered it, but... Does the name 'Sherry Wilson' mean anything to you?"
My face felt as if it were on fire. Sherry Wilson had been a character in one of my Literotica stories. "Sherry Wilson, age 46; librarian at the Kellogg County Library." I had modeled the 'Sherry Wilson' character after Rhonda. In the story, my character had extremely heated sexual relations with her.
She must have seen my outward reaction. Before I could answer, she continued.
"And you would be 'Lee', right?"
The look of confidence on Rhonda’s face told me there was no point in denying what she had already deduced.
"I hope you're not too offended," I asked rather meekly. My composure quickly returned when it occurred to me that for her to know about my fictional lust for her character and to suspect my real lust for her, Rhonda must have read the entire novella. Perhaps some of my other stories as well.
She started to answer, but I cut her off.
"And how did you come to read my story, anyway?" I asked playfully and a bit more confidently now. It occurred to me to ask if she had cum after she read the story, but I resisted offering the obtuse play on words.
She was unflustered and surprisingly honest. "I enjoy reading and writing erotic literature. It is very 'stimulating'.” She verbally punctuated ‘stimulating.’ “And I especially liked your stories.” So, she had read my other stories! “A girl friend of mine had read ‘Irreconcilable Differences’ and told me she thought Sherry sounded a lot like me. I couldn’t wait to read it. So while I was a little surprised, I wasn't offended when I realized that I had become a character in one of your stories. And it became a personal challenge to try and identify the author."
She glanced around the library to make sure no one else was in hearing distance.
"In fact, our fictional sexual experience together was very, very satisfying to me as I read the story. I suspect your attraction to my character explains why you spend a great deal of time here in the library on days when I'm working."
She stopped talking, but in only a few seconds, our eyes exchanged messages far more precise and powerful than words could express.
"Does your husband share your interests in erotic literature?" I asked.
"Probably no more than your wife shares yours," she responded insightfully.
"So...?" I queried.
"So, I think we should discuss our shared interests somewhere else at some mutually convenient time," she whispered.
“Where would you suggest?” I asked.
“Well, my friend who put me onto your stories has a house out in the country. She’s gone for a week, and she asked me to watch the house and tend her pool. Why don’t we meet there? I’m not working tomorrow. How about 2 p.m.?”
I nodded in agreement. My mouth was too dry to talk. She unnecessarily but intentionally bent lower over the table, revealing even more of her unencumbered white breasts beneath her ultraplain dress and sweater. I glimpsed just the tops of her enticing aureoles...and something else that made me instantly hard. She knew what I saw and the effects that brief glimpse had on me.
“Here are the directions,” she said. “Once you get there, just come around to the back.” She shrugged slightly, exposing even more of her breasts to me, and then she stood up and walked off.
The following day, promptly at 2 o’clock, I drove my car several miles out along what looked like a barely used rural gravel road to an isolated house on a hillside. I saw Rhonda’s Subaru in front. I pulled alongside, got out, and walked through the gate in the high wooden fence. Once inside, I saw that the back yard had a large and inviting swimming pool, made more inviting by Rhonda perched seductively on the pool’s edge and wearing nothing but her glasses.
I just stood and stared at her.
“You know, your stories reveal a lot about you,” she said.
