One Last Time
It's another unremarkable Saturday. Elise wakes early, showers, and drives to the local mall to beat the crowds and forget about the awful evening the night before. Another fight over misadventures that have long passed. Yes, she was far too close with an older, married co-worker, but that was over. He ended up divorced as a result, and they hadn't had more than a passing greeting in months. Sure, she thought about him, even fantasized that it was him touching her most intimate places when her husband was using her for sex...
The mall is quiet, almost empty as only those who couldn't sleep or those on their way home from a night shift grab what they need and hustle on their way. Turning into a non-descript aisle, she nearly bumps into someone. Taking a step back, she recognizes him...the one who has haunted her fantasies and has led to more than one self-induced episode of pleasure, even when she could hear the breathing of her partner sleeping beside her. She can feel the blood rushing to her face as she watches his eyes beginning to recognize her...the confusion in his face transforms into a warm, inviting smile.
He seems awkward as he says, "Hey Boots, I'm surprised to run into you here."
She's equally awkward as she responds with "Hi" while reaching up to play with her long, dark hair - an unconscious habit when speaking with an attractive man. The use of his private nickname for her makes her belly flutter.
"Boots, I mean Elise, I've been thinking about you. A lot. I really miss you. I miss our connection."
She knows she shouldn't, but she tells him how she's been feeling. "I still think about you too. I know that I shouldn't, but it's been rough at home lately, and thinking about you helps me feel like I matter to someone".
His eyes seem to flicker with fire "You matter to me". He asks her, "When are you expected home?"
"I'm not" she answers.
"So, you're free all day?"
She knows she should discourage the direction of the conversation, but she finds herself nodding, never losing eye contact. Warmth is spreading throughout her body even though she knows this can only lead to trouble.
"Follow me" he says. She finds herself following him through the store, 10 steps behind as he leads her out of the mall, into the parking garage and to his truck. "What the hell am I doing?" she thinks as she opens the passenger door, steps inside and pulls the door closed.
She ducks her head down in case someone who knows her sees her as they pull out of the garage. Her head is on his lap and she can see his zipper, stretching over a growing bulge in his pants. Her hand, seemingly with a mind of its own reaches towards the zipper. She can feel the heat emanating through his jeans as her conscience catches her. "What am I doing? If I touch him, there's no going back." Her mind flashes back to the insensitive comments from the night before and thinks "fuck him." The zipper protests noisily as she slowly pulls it down. Next, she releases the button and can hear his breathing change. Her fingers delicately slip beneath the waist band of his boxers and trace through his sparce pubic hair. Her fingers continue lower, seeking the thickness of his cock. With her thumb and index finger, she grasps around the base and tugs, attempting to release it but he stops her.
"No, Boots, not now." She lies there, in stunned silence as they continue driving; her mind racing.
Fifteen minutes later she finds that he is pulling to a stop. "It's okay, you can get up now" he says. As she rises, she sees that he's pulled into a house.
"Is this your house?" she asks. He just smiles and nods as he gets out and moves around the vehicle to open her door. Once inside the tension is palpable. He turns to face her as they take off their coats. She is acutely aware that they've never actually kissed, only talked. The talking was deep and dirty, but kissing was always too intimate for her. Kissing would make their affair real. Now she watches his lips while he moves closer to her.
He watches her in the foyer; she's cute when she's nervous. Her beautiful, deep brown eyes scan the room but keep coming back to his. She pushes her sleek, dark hair behind one ear and her tongue flicks across her full lips. With her coat off, he steps back to take in her beauty. Her shiny black pants cling tightly to her well sculpted body, tucked in at the knees into her thigh-high leather boots (hence the nickname). Her ass has always been amazing, and while he loves it, it has always been the tilt of her pelvis that took his breath away...but now, observing her in his house - he realizes that it's not one thing about her, but everything about her that is sexy. Her legs, her ass, her breasts and her gorgeous face, framed with perfect hair. Their emotional connection had always been strong, but at this moment, he realizes that she's his perfect woman.
His eyes roaming over her body excites her and makes her nervous. Why hasn't he made a move? She can feel blood flowing to her neglected places and is quietly thankful that she chose her tiny pink thong this morning...a thong that is becoming damp with anticipation. "Well," she says, "are you going to give me a tour?"
