Our table at this hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant is so humbly intimate, it’s a wonder our two dinner plates don’t hang off the side for lack of space. You stare at me over your wine glass, eyes sharp and playful. The hand that holds the glass is tensed ever so slightly, solid, strong, the glass stem shooting up between your fingers to disappear behind your palm. I bite my lower lip and lean forward, wishing that slightly rugged hand - strong, inviting, like wrought iron wrapped in velvet - was cupping my breast with as much gentle determination as it was cupping that cup of crystal.
“You’re quiet this evening,” you say, your voice rolling across the table like far off thunder. My mind snaps to attention.
“Sorry,” I say, smiling, looking at you from deep under my lashes, a look I know you love. “Just thinking about something…”
You look intrigued, that left eyebrow of yours raising ever so slightly above the cobalt orb of your eye.
“About?”
I shrug my shoulders, the thin straps of my black dress slackening and falling off my shoulders just enough to catch your eye. I place the top of my left foot against the strap crossing the heel of my right, and slip my foot out of its high heel. I raise it to reach the front of your chair, brushing against your inner thigh. Your eyes jump in surprise, but your posture remains collected and unchanged, except for a distinguished flicker of a smile across your lips.
“Ohh…” you say, softly, and drop a discrete hand down, fingers wrapping around my ankle, palm pressed against that delicate place above my heel. You keep your clasp, and move your hand up my leg. I shiver, and lick the corner of my mouth. I watch your own lips part slightly as I do, and I can tell you’re aching for something.
Having just ordered, our food isn’t due for a while now, and I slip my leg out of your grasp, inspired. You look puzzled as I slip on my shoe and push back from the table. Standing, my eyes scan the room for that tell-tale sign, alcove, door - and there it is, scrawled in thin red script over the doorframe with an arrow pointing down: “
Signore
” - “
Ladies
”.
I turn and grin at you, tilting my head ever so slightly in that direction. A incredulous smirk breaks out across your face so quickly that I can’t help but be reminded of firework explosions. I make my way across the darkened, tiny restaurant, and you follow perhaps six feet behind, as to discourage attention. As I walk, I can feel your eyes staring at the silky black fabric across my ass, pulling taunt and then loosening, only to pull taunt again with my next step. I can feel my nipples harden at the thought.
Reaching the woman’s restroom, I scan down the hall it’s set back in - empty. With a small wisp of pleading, I push the door open to find the same scene: the restroom, like the rest of the restaurant, is miniature, single, barely three feet of space between the sink and the opposite wall. Perfect, I think, and gasp as your body gently runs into the back of me, pushing me into the room. I turn around to face you in time to see you ease the door back into it’s hinges, closed, and slide the delicate little deadbolt that accompanies most bathroom doors. Then you turn and face me, something primal, predatory, flickering across your face.
You take a step towards me, backing me into the counter playfully, your hips and shoulders moving in the stalking rhythm of a large cat about to take down its prey.
