Traci looked out over the masts of the fishing boats moored alongside Pier 39 at San Franciscoās Fishermanās Wharf. Darkness was falling quickly and the Transamerica Building glowed inside and out. To her right, she could barely make out one end of the Golden Gate Bridge.
She pushed a crab leg around her plate with a fork, not sure whether to put forth the effort it would take to get a mouthful of meat out of it. Her mind wasnāt on food. When she looked out the restaurantās window once more, she didnāt see the tourists walking past or the ferry arriving from Alcatraz.
Traci could only think of Mikeās hands, her own nakedness and the two of them experiencing orgasms with wind blowing their hair in all directions.
The day had started normal enough for the 24-year-old visitor from Ohio. She had most of the day to sightsee while the friend she accompanied to the West Coast attended a conference.
Traci chose to wear a sweatshirt along with her shorts, knowing that certain stops on the ādeluxe city tourā would be atop some of the cityās windiest locales. It was a warm spring day with bright sunshine, sure to offer plenty of photo opportunities.
Thirty people climbed aboard the bus on the west end of Fishermanās Wharf. Traci watched intently as an assortment of fellow passengers shuffled past. Young, old, male and female. American, Japanese, Spanish and Chinese. It was the young, American male that caught her eye.
He seemed to be alone. And he undoubtedly was good-looking. Wind blown blonde hair fell naturally back into place as he stepped onto the bus. Muscular, tan legs extended from the bottom of his shorts.
Their eyes met briefly. Traciās cool, gray eyes attempted to keep his attention, but the man kept walking down the aisle and out of her view. The temptation to turn and watch was very real, but she fought it successfullyā¦this time.
At the first stop on the tour, Traci wandered aimlessly, taking several pictures of the city and the bay. With ten minutes remaining, she purposely worked her way toward the blonde man. She eventually made it to his side and smiled innocently when he looked down at her.
Nothing was said, but a comfortable smile crossed the manās face as he turned to head back to the bus. This time Traci did look. It was worth the wait, she decided.
As she, too, got back onto the bus, she was somewhat startled to find the man seated at the window in the seat she had been occupying. Unsure of herself, she sat next to him, much more nervous than she would have expected.
He looked over. āAm I in your seat?ā
Looking back on it later, she would berate herself for not having a more clever answer. āNo. Not at all. I donāt care where I sit.ā She convinced herself to shut up before making any further idiotic statements.
āBeautiful city, isnāt it?ā he asked, peering out the window as the bus pulled away.
āYes. Very.ā Traci took the opportunity to study the manās face more closely, liking what she saw.
āIām Mike,ā he said, looking back at her.
āHi. Iām Traci.ā
They established hometowns and careers in the short drive to the next stop. Mike clearly was the more confident of the two, something that Traci often had happen to her during first encounters. Thus, her frequent lack of second encounters.
The second stop was in the Presidio, a former military base-turned park that featured the Golden Gate Bridge at one end, the Pacific Ocean at another and beautiful parkland in between.
Traci and Mike roamed the areas together and, by the time the bus was departing, seemed destined to complete the tour as a couple. Traci would like to think her initial plotting and planning had caused it all to happen when, of course, Mike was in control the entire time. Ultimately, it would hardly matter. She was with a polite, attractive young man and she was getting more engrossed by the minuteā¦not to mention horny.
