Dinner was hectic. Between the rain showers and the ever present crowds of Manhattan, it seemed like it took forever to get the chemistry working. The sushi was wonderful, when we finally got it, and the Saki martinis were going straight to my head. I had wanted to wow you. I mean absolutely sweep you off of your feet. But I felt like just another guy trying too hard. The only thing that was really working out was you. You looked amazing. Your silky blue dress seemed to hang just right, as if you were the only person the rain didn't touch. I loved the way it would slide across your hips as you walked. And you wore your four inch heels that I bought for you on a whim my last trip to San Francisco. I know that you did that for me because I had told you how much I loved high heels on a woman and you told me how much they hurt! I did notice that you had just had your hair cut. I could tell that it surprised you a little that I noticed, but I notice everything about you.
At least the conversation went well. It was funny how many times we seemed to know just what the other was thinking. And how many times we both smiled at an unfinished thought. It did seem to me at times that the crowds would just melt away and all that was left was you. Then the annoying waiter would come back and wonder if there was anything else that we neeeeeded. I know he saw the way you rolled your eyes, but they are just trained to ignore the silent sarcasm.
The flirting was what finally made me relax a little. I felt like we were back on solid ground. You are so funny and casual. I blushed when you teased me about kissing you on a first date. We eased into our typical back and forth about what would YOU do if I did this or that. A little sophomoric, I know, but it always worked to make us smile. "What if I put my hand right here" I asked as I placed my right hand on your left knee. "What if I placed my hand over yours" you asked, and I felt your fingers intertwine with mine. The game seemed sillier to say out loud, but much sexier since this was the first time we played it for real. A few more "what ifs" and suddenly we both knew that it was time to go. You excused yourself to freshen up as I paid the check and stepped outside to get a taxi. The doorman caught one for us just as you stepped out of the door.
There was a crowd of men gathering under the awning, smoking and chatting and waiting for their wives and girlfriends. You came out and walked past them and the conversation stopped. The rain was still coming down steadily and I held an umbrella for you as you walked to the opened door of the waiting taxi. As you turned to slide in, I noticed how many men watched you. It was just one of those unforgettable moments. Your long legs, the high heels, your dress sliding up your thighs. Every man noticed and then looked to see who I was. I saw a few wistful smiles. When I got in behind you I noticed a small smile on your face. You must have noticed them looking at you, too. It was then that I remembered that we had not actually worked out where we were going. I started to feel that small panic. The Jamaican driver was looking at me, waiting; when you said "Didn't you say that you were staying at the Dream?" My confused mind went into overdrive. What were you doing talking about my hotel? I have a PhD in engineering but sometimes I swear I can be so slow. I blame it on the alcohol, the perfume and your smile. I turned to the driver and said "Dream Hotel on East 56th". I gave the driver a confident smile as he seemed to have no clue what had just happened and we darted into midtown traffic.
I settled back into the vinyl seat and stole another look in your direction. You still had that sly smile on your face. I couldn't help myself, and leaned over to give you a kiss. It was our first real kiss of the evening. I love that first kiss. You had just applied some lip gloss. The feeling was slippery and sticky at the same time. But more than that, I felt the desire in that first kiss. It was more than in any other I had felt before or sense. We kept our lips locked together for some timeless measurement, very soft and warm. Your head tilted slightly and my hand head came up behind you, pulling you closer against me. I placed my other hand on your face, brushing your hair behind your shoulder. We finally parted and just looked at each other. The strobing of the passing streetlights gave the moment a surreal feel. We kissed again, harder this time and we both felt that first hint of desperation, of true wanting. I felt your hands behind my head, holding us tightly together, pulling me to you as you slid back into the corner.
I was kissing all over your face, your lips, your eyes and your ears and then back to your lips. My tongue slid over your lower lip and then our tongues touched. I felt your lips over the tip of my tongue sucking gently. My hand slid down the side of your face with my fingernails running softly over your bare shoulder and down your back. I wanted to touch all of you at once and to kiss everywhere at the same time. The feeling was just overwhelming. I kissed down the side of your face again, stopping at your ear just to whisper to you how beautiful you were and how much I wanted you right now. My warm breath on your throat as I kissed was reflected back to me carrying a hint of that intoxicating perfume. I tasted your skin with the tip of my tongue. My right hand pulled the silky fabric away from your left breast and I kiss over the soft curve, down to where your lacy light blue bra still covered you. My wet lips were kissing you through the sheer material, taking it between my lips and teeth, feeling for your nipple. When I found it I sucked on it through the fabric, now wet from my kisses. I heard the first soft moan from you and it made my racing heart actually skip.
