When last we left off, I'd let myself be forcibly dragged across the finish line with Mel, the nosey neighbor that I'd never forgive myself for not finding earlier.
She was voraciously horny. Given the way things began between us, she obviously wasn't looking to dive into something in the ordinary way that the rest of us do. No, she wanted something, set her mind's eye on it, and made it cum inside of her hours after she came to possess it. Regrettably, cock wasn't the only something she was after; no, I'd not be let off the hook just by having a nice big dick for her to gobble and ride - she wanted a mature, comfortable relationship right out of the gates, and she didn't want to wait the years that it would have taken to earn that organic familiarity by dating. In anyone else, this would have felt like a classic "get too close, too fast, burnout, and fallout" situation, but I'm thrilled to report that it was actually really easy to fall into something like that what she was after.
She didn't mind that I was working too hard in those days - lord knows she kept plenty busy herself with her extracurriculars. I moved into her place in the right way, leaving a toothbrush there the next night and then slowly letting my things migrate up the road from my dresser to hers, bit by bit. I don't know what else to say. Things just felt right, pretty immediately. We found a rhythm of sharing space together, openly and unashamedly, right away. I didn't mind that her bathroom door wouldn't stick shut while I peed all the time. She didn't rush to get dressed in the morning if I was still in the room while she did so. Doing her laundry with mine in the basement of her apartment's house felt like just another thing that'd I'd done forever. Hell, I didn't mind being bored around her, because just getting to be near her was enough to keep me content.
The sex, I'm sure you're relieved to hear, was fun in the ways you'd expect for a pair who's foundation was entirely erected on the power of mutual appreciation. It wasn't the "legs behind head, pornesque, hardcore" sort of filth you might have come here for me to pretend we had.
No, it was so much better. It was lazy, head-in-lap blowjobs while we watched tv. It was kisses on the neck and fingers between legs while making breakfast. It was sliding it in while we spooned and the sun came up on the one day a week we could sleep in together. It was hopping in the shower with the door wide open in case the other did really have enough time for a soapy treat. It was the sex that couples have; it was so incredibly good, and we had it incredibly often.
Her body continued to thrill me to no end. She skied in the winter, endlessly; her family had a small ski house in the north and she grew up on the slopes. Her legs were amazing for it - she was powerfully built in the hips and upper thighs, with the most delightful tiger stripes of lightly stretched skin banded across her hips. Her core was firm from her time on the school soccer team, but soft to the touch in all the ways I loved to hold. She was so free with herself too; where other girls that you date as a young man will turn the lights off to fuck and pull the sheets up to cover themselves just as often, she wore clothes no more than was necessary. She walked around her place topless more often than not, or in a sports bra and pair of briefs if the weather necessitated having the windows open. I still picture her there in the morning light of her kitchen window, idly holding up the piece of celery she chewed, other hand on her hip, one leg crossed before the other, breasts gloriously illuminated for my sleepy eyes to enjoy, and the way the light highlighted the large areolas that I so loved to have in my mouth.
I found the trial of the work term's internship was much more tolerable when I had her to come home to, and my work showed the rewards of my new satisfaction. In fact, as the 12 weeks with the hosting company nearing an end, I was happy to hear that I'd receive a little commendation at the end-of-quarter party. Mel informed me that taking her to work parties meant that we were definitely dating. Yeah. Yeah I guess that's what we were doing.
She wasn't flashy, and neither was I, but we cleaned up well and enjoyed putting in at least a little effort for each other when we had occasion to go out. We showed up to a golf club, having smartly fucked hours before in case one of us had too much to drink, eager for a night of fun. She wore a simple black dress, I wore jeans and a blazer. For us, this was formal.
The dinner was fine, though the ongoing awards started to feel a bit like an unoriginal take on a classic episode of The Office. It was a decent sized company, and some of the directors were real windbags, so she started to narrate the unimpressed wives at other tables. I folded my napkin into a formless facsimile of an animal, or amoeba. She poked at an overly complicated appetizer like someone dreaming of a plain burrito to tide her over. We drank. We were bored, so we drank. I was young, bored, in love, at a company event, and there was an open bar.
She excused herself to run to the bathroom and the MC rolled on and on. After a few minutes, I caught sight of her coming back towards me in the reflection of a glass on the table.
I turned to smile at her just as she bent low to give me a kiss. The dress valiantly held her into it's top, defying conventional models of gravity and physics. The kiss was so sweet; she told me I looked handsome, and squeezed my thigh as she slid her hand from the pocket that I hadn't felt her reach into. She moved back around the table and sat down. She really was so beautiful. I think I might have been in love, and in more than the sheepish way you fall in love with someone on the subway for 10 minutes.
I reached into the pocket she'd invaded. "The line for the bathroom was a nightmare," she told me. There was a lump in there; I wriggled to reach in. "It was a nice bathroom," she said, looking around casually. I felt something soft. "There were these huge mirrors that went from the floor to the ceiling." I closed my hand around some fabric. "I looked good in that mirror, I have to admit." I began to pull what I was certain was lace out of my pocket. "I looked really good. Don't you think I look great tonight? I just wanted to look good for you, so I wore a matching set underneath my dress."
I pulled an ornate green thong out of my pocket.
"I didn't like the bottoms though," she said with a devilish grin.
I'm sure I squawked as I shoved them back into my pocket, hoping against hope that no one I needed to look in the eye tonight had seen me pull it out. She laughed loudly, with a snort. My mortification evaporated in an instant. One, she was so fucking cute right now and, two, I'm an absolute sucker for being teased. She winked and exaggeratedly side-eyed something across the room while she took a drink. I opened my mouth to tell her what I thought of her and heard my name called over the speakers. She told me that Mr. award winner had better get moving, laughing as she began to clap with the rest of the room. I gave her a little squeeze on the shoulder with a wink of my own as I walked up. We'd run a charity event in the city that I had headed - the company had looked good in the papers and I was happy to get some recognition from the people who had brought me on. I had eyes only for her though, smiling authentically from the audience while I talked. I hoped she noticed my hand clenched in my left pocket.
We mingled a while longer after the dinner ended. I shook hands, and introduced her to some of my colleagues. She looked so proud of me. That was pretty cool. She didn't hurry me to leave either, later admitting that she found it really endearing to listen to other people praise me. I remember thinking that I was heart horny, and then rebuking myself for being an idiot.
No, not an idiot. Just happy. I was there with a gorgeous woman who genuinely wanted to be there with me, I had a token of her affections hidden away in my pocket, and the constant proud glances as she chatted with my peers convinced me that I was in a good place with a great person.
So I told her it was time to go, and slipped my hand around her waist to scoop her out of a friendly conversation. She held my hand in the cab on the way home. I smiled out the window while she did the same on the other side. I cracked mine to let a cool breeze in. She put her hand on my thigh, pulling mine with it. I looked over to give her a smile, returned warmly from her side. We were a few minutes from home.
Her had slithered out of mine, and grazed over my pants between my legs. I snapped back to her with an incredulous look, but she didn't react and rubbed again, her cheeks tightening imperceptibly. The driver asked me to confirm which street I needed and I stammered a very distracted answer. She was being quite insistent now, obviously counting on the Cabbie not to look back. I looked at her with my eyes as wide as I could, trying to imply that she'd lost her mind, and the twitch in her cheek became a barely stifled grin. She had to bite her lip to keep from giving us away entirely. She gave her shoulders a little shimmy while keeping eye contact. I was getting harder by the second.
The cab halted abruptly, and she did laugh when I looked relieved, letting herself out her door while I paid the driver. I caught up to her as she unlocked the door to the stairs up the side of the house that led to her apartment. She asked what the matter was as she pulled out the key; I barked a laugh, and wondered, too, what the matter could be. "Come on then," she said, reminding me that she had started getting undressed hours ago. She bounded up the first few steps and lifted the hem of her dress as she did so. The sight of her ass got my feet moving, and I instructed her to get back here as she giggled and sped up.
