She looked over the room and scanned the crowd for someone that she knew, that she could actually have a conversation with and saw no one. She sighed and drained her champagne flute and sat it on a table and wondered through the crowd. Her friend Amy loved throwing theme parties and tonight's was a 1920's gangster era party. She and Amy would go shopping in thrift stores and find stunning dresses and outfits and then decide to have a party based on what they could find and their moods.
When they wandered into a thrift store and found a rack of flapper dresses they both went silly and decided to throw a party even before they had picked out a dress. They tried on dress after dress and both found ones that perfectly fit and matched them. Her friend found a luscious pale yellow while she had found a mint green with fringe and pearls all over and was a tank style with only one strap over one shoulder. Dangling pearl earrings, and a pearl necklace and bracelet set, and retro shoes, they both spent way too much money but knew they looked fabulous and loved wearing the dresses.
It was well past midnight and she was getting tired, but had said she would stay and help clean after everyone went home, which didn't look to be soon. She wondered through the house toward the back and down the hall. She heard clicking and realized someone was shooting pool in the den, which she thought was supposed to be closed to the guests. She went down the hall to see who was in the room and with the intention of shooing them out.
She pushed the sliding door open softly and looked into the room. She saw the finest butt she'd seen in a while encased in a pair of black tuxedo pants. The body attached to that butt was leaning over getting ready to take a shot. He had removed his jacket and thrown it on a chair. He pulled back the cue, thrust it forward, and missed horribly. He hung his head and chuckled. She walked into the room and slid the door closed quietly.
"You missed." She said quietly, walking up to the table and running her hand along the table. She reached the end of the table and faced him, picking up a ball and rolling it in her hands. He looked up and laughed, and laid the cue stick on the table and began untying his tie. He took in her presence; she was a very lovely distraction in green.
"I know." He finished untying his tie and left it hanging and unbuttoned the button at his neck and breathed a little easier. He looked at her as she rolled the ball in her hands, and began unbuttoning his shirt sleeves and rolling them up one at a time. He finished and leaned both hands on the table and nodded towards it.
"Do you play?" he asked.
"No." she laughed. "I only know the balls go in the pockets with the stick. That's about it." She laid the ball back on the table and rolled it towards him. He caught it with his hand and tossed it in the air and caught it.
"You know, no one is supposed to be in here. It's usually off limits during a party." She said as she walked up the table to him. She stopped at the end of the table beside him, rested her behind on the table and folded her arms and looked at him questioningly.
"Well," he sighed, "I'm not much into parties, and I only promised to come as a favor for a friend and she begged." He laughed. "I actually think she was trying to set me up with one of her friends, but I can't prove it." He walked around the table and pulled the triangle out and began loading balls into it. He looked up as he did, admiring the back of her. Her hair was caught up in some fashion at the top of her neck, exposing her skin, but letting little curls fall against her neck in an enticing way. He saw her turn her head half way and caught her profile. Her skin was fair and the dress she wore looked stunning on her. He followed the one strap down her back to her small rear that was resting on the table.
"You wouldn't be David, would you?" she asked. He stopped what he was doing and looked up in question. He finished placing the balls in the triangle, rolled them forward and then pulled them back and removed the triangle and returned it to its place. He walked around the table and sat at the end of it with her and looked at her.
"Yes, my name is David." He said holding out his hand. "Not that I mind a lovely woman knowing my name, but who are you?" he smiled. She groaned in outrage and let her arms fall and pushed away from the table."I'm going to kill her." She whispered and headed toward the door.
"Wait, wait a minute." He said, taking a hold of her arm. "Why would my name spark such anger? I'm really nice guy." He grinned. She stopped and turned and looked his hand holding her wrist lightly. She sighed and took one step back toward him.
"This friend you promised, what would her name be?" she asked.
"Amy?" he said softly, hoping it wouldn't set her off again. He lifted her hand in his and kissed the back of her hand. She groaned again and hung her head, shaking it gently back and forth.
"You realize you've been set up? We both have." She asked. "Amy invited you here to set you up with me."
"Well," he began, lowering her hand but still holding it in his hand,
"I'll have to thank her later."
"No, you don't understand." She laughed and tried to pull her hand free He looked up in surprise and pulled her towards him until she was flush with his body.
"I understand that Amy wanted me to meet her very lovely friend." He said huskily. "Heidi." He said as if the name just came to him. "You're name is Heidi. You're a very nice person, very giving, and very caring." He listed off things Amy had told him about her that he was now remembering. "You have a wonderful smile, beautiful blue eyes, and adorable ears."
She arched her eyebrow at the last comment as he laughed.
"Ok, I made that last part about your ears up myself. Oh, and if I hurt you, I'm to die a thousand deaths of immense and impossible to describe pain." He finished, laughing.
"Well, at least she warned you." She laughed. She looked down at her hand still in his and cocked her head to one side. "I really need to go and kill her now, so if I could have my hand?"
"Oh you don't need to do that right now. Play pool with me; let her wonder where you are." He suggested.
"I told you I don't play."
"I'll teach you." He leaned over and picked up the cue and brought it between the two of them.
"Well, I'll need both hands." She said, looking down at her hand still held in his.
"My loss." He whispered and let her hand go. He walked behind her, holding the cue stick in front of her. He leaned in and inhaled her scent as he stood behind her. She reached up and took the pool cue, feeling his breath on her neck. She turned her head slightly to look at him and realized he was still very close to her.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, "you smell incredible." He dragged a finger up her arm, making it tingle. He inhaled deeply next to her ear, letting his breath warm her earlobe. "Well, I'm not sorry." He admitted, chuckling. He pulled back from her and waved to the table. "Take the first shot."
She took a deep breath, regaining her composure after feeling giddy when his breath hit her neck, leaned forward with the stick in her hands, and aimed. She missed the cue ball terribly and laughed.
"I told you I don't play."
"Yes you did." He chuckled and shook his head. "Let me teach you." He said stepping behind her. He groaned inwardly feeling her rear against him. He looked down and realized she had no bra on underneath the silky confection of her dress and he swallowed hard. He gathered his thoughts together and tried to push the image of her naked out of his mind. He covered her hands with his and helped her position it and leaned over with her to help her take that shot.
"Now, you take the stick in your hand," He chuckled softly. "That sounds bad, doesn't it?" She laughed and put the stick down on the table. She stood up, and turned around slowly to face him.
"I think it's a lost cause." She said softly, looking into his eyes.
"Maybe pool is." He whispered, running a finger over her bare shoulder and running it down her arm. "But we could do something else to pass the time." He cupped her face in his hand and ran his thumb over her lower lip. He stepped close to her so there was no space between them.
"And what could we do?" she whispered. He smiled and brought his other hand up to her face and pulled her to him and kissed her gently. First kissing her lower lip and running his tongue over it, then repeating the movement on the upper lip. He felt her gasp against his mouth and as her lips opened wider he gently licked her tongue with his. Feeling no resistance, he pushed his tongue into her mouth, slowly stroking against her tongue. He tilted his head to the side and leaned into her, pushing her bottom against the table.
She heard a sound and realized it was her as she moaned into his mouth, feeling his tongue slide against hers. She brought her hands up and placed them on his arms, his chest pushed against hers, and her bottom snug against the pool table. She felt his hands move down her back and settle against her hips. He pulled his mouth from hers slowly and laid his forehead against hers, his breath coming in pants against her lips.
"Tell me I'm not the only one who felt something there." He groaned, opening his eyes and looking into hers, his body not moving, still pinning her to the pool table.
