Movies had always been her passion, ever since she was a little girl. Sheâd pretend to sleep until she was sure her parents were convinced, only to sneak back out to the living room to watch an old black and white movie on television. The women were always so glamorous, so together. Laney always wished she could be together like that. She has always been extremely shy. A very pretty girl, many guys had tried to court her, but she never knew how to talk to them. Sheâd missed many a chance over her fear to simply say hello. So she disappeared into the world of her movies.
She always went to the same place, a small greasy-looking place hidden at the end of a small strip mall. She preferred it to the antiseptic-looking brightly-adorned chain video stores. Here she could find movies those stores wouldnât dare touch. Even though sheâd first been afraid to go in, she quickly got over her reservations and fell in love with the place. It was much more comfortable than the chain stores and there was a strange kind of charm to the on-the-verge-of-bankruptcy feel of the jumbled shelves and dusty ceiling fans. It also had an adult video section, unlike the other stores.
She had first wandered into the section completely by accident, thinking it was just another room, missing the sign above the door which warned her ahead of time. Once she caught sight of the naked bodies twisted and contorted into strange positions on the boxes, she quickly realized her mistake. Though she wanted nothing more then to run from the room, she found her feet rooted, unable to leave. Quickly looking around to make sure no one else was coming in, she walked over to the racks to get a closer look. She picked up one of the videos. The looks on the womenâs faces suggested ecstasy, yet the acts looked graphic, almost painful.
The covers were very graphic, showing penetration and oral sex, as well as bondage and various other sexual acts. In spite of herself, Laney could feel a stirring between her legs. She shifted her stance and swallowed hard, placing the video back on the shelf and turning to go. She walked with her head down, her hair lightly brushing her cheeks which were flushed with sudden desire. Who would have thought they would have affected her so much? She had just reached the door when she finally looked up just in time to find someone standing there. She drew in a sharp breath, her heart beating a mile a minute.
âHi there,â the guy said, smiling easily and leaning against the doorway, blocking her exit. Damn! Now he would think she was a pervert!
âUmmm..hi,â she mumbled, swallowing hard and wanting nothing more than to get out of there.
âSee anything you like?â
âExcuse me?â she exclaimed, caught off guard. He was so good-looking, and they were in this room-was her face giving her away?
âIn the room,â he said, eyeing her closely, seemingly amused by her embarrassment.
âUh, no. I donât watch any of this-â
âReally? Why not? Itâs very entertaining,â he said, smiling mischeiviously and leaning against the shelf, seeming to enjoy watching her squirm.
âI donât think so. In fact, I think Iâd better go...â she paused before going out the door. She noticed that he only moved slightly so she had to squeeze past him. She could feel the heat of his body as she passed, and caught the tangy scent of his cologne which caused a moistness to form between her legs. She swallowed hard, her knees shaking slightly as she finally managed to squeeze past him. He watched her every move, shifting ever so slightly closer to her, trying to calm the rage building in his own pants as he took in the slight swell of her breasts under her shirt, the nipples poking gently through the fabric. He composed himself long enough to respond to her.
âIf you must,â he said slowly, watching as she quickly moved toward the door once she regained her full strength in her knees. âCome again!â he called after her just before the door closed with a bang.
Once she got to her car, Laney jumped inside and collapsed against the seat, letting out a huge sigh and trying to ignore the stirring between her legs.
For the next few days she drove past the store but didnât go in. She missed her movies, but she was too afraid to indulge. The clerk had gotten to her so much she couldnât get him out of her mind. Sheâd been going to this store a while and had never seen him before. All of the other workers there were old, ugly, or just not her type. This guy was an Adonis.
She parked her car in front of the store and watched him. He sat at the counter engrossed in a book while a movie played behind him. His long blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and he wore a tight black t-shirt which clung to the bulges in his arms. He reached up to turn a page and the muscles in his arm rippled. She found herself wishing she could lick every one of those ripples. She watched him, growing more excited by the moment.
She closed her eyes, imagining him holding her with those powerful arms and kissing her. She licked her lips, her hands sliding below her waist to touch her throbbing wetness. How could he turn her on like this so much? She slid a finger in, the muscles gripping it tightly and sucking it, making a soft slurping noise a she slid it in further, slowly drawing it back out and then back in, groaning as she imagined him kissing her there, fucking her with his tongue with the force her finger now exerted. At this thought she came explosively, falling against her steering wheel and hitting the horn momentarily. Embarrassed, she quickly fell to the seat, still breathing hard from her climax, unable to believe sheâd gotten so carried away. Her breathing subsided and she slowly came down from her high, composing herself and waiting another beat before she straightened up, quickly putting her car in gear and getting out of there as quickly as possible. She couldnât believe sheâd actually allowed herself to get so carried away! She only hoped he hadnât noticed.
The man in the store watched her departure out of the corner of his eye, smiling to himself. He knew sheâd been watching him. It turned him on to know he turned her on so much. While she pleasured herself he could feel his cock pressing painfully against his jeans. He touched it through his jeans, trying to ease the pressure. He looked up finally, catching her tailights as they pulled out of the parking lot. He only hoped next time sheâd come in.
That weekend Laney as usual, had nothing to do. She longed to rent a movie but didnât know if she could face the man at the store. She hated to go to the movies because the trailers were never like the movie. She preferred to read the boxes, to take her time and select just the right movie. After working hard all week, watching movies was the only way she could relax. But what if heâd seen what sheâd done? The embarrassment was just too much for her to think about.
After pacing her apartment most of the night, she finally decided she couldnât let one person stop her from her passion. She grabbed her coat and headed for the door. As she waited for her car to warm up, she found herself drawn to the moon. The top was covered by clouds and had the look of a half-lidded eye. Thatâs just how she felt-half-awake, half-alive. Always afraid to commit to anything fully. Never opening up her eyes enough to see the real world, never waking herself up enough to join in and live it fully. She jammed the gear in reverse with a new resolve. For once she was going to live her life to the fullest extent. What was the use of living if you didnât take at least one chance?
Her resolve held until she reached the store. She passed by and glanced in, catching a glimpse of the man. Her heart lept then dropped when she saw him helping an attractive brunette. She was no match for that woman. She scolded herself for not doing her hair or even putting on makeup. If she was going to try and seduce someone, she needed to be better prepared. She parked her car and watched them with growing apprehension. They seemed to be really into their conversation. He leaned in, smiling and animated as she watched him, entranced and reserved as she listened. Laney was about to start her car to leave when she noticed another man walk up and join the conversation. He put his arm around the woman and she turned to him, showing him the movie sheâd been discussing with the clerk. As she turned away, the clerk looked up, meeting Laneyâs eyes through the door of the store. Laney froze but met the gaze, willing herself to stay and finish what sheâd started. As he watched her she knew sheâd done the right thing in coming there. Now she just had to wait for the right time to make her move.
She waited until the man and woman left and slowly gathered her breath and her nerve. She noticed him straightening up as if he were about to close up. It was now or never! She quickly got out of the car and walked into the store as casually as possible.
