Hello readers. This is my very first attempt at erotic literature, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please send any and all comments β I'd like to improve!

"Michael!"
It wasn't the fact that she yelled my name across the room. As the stage director for the university's holiday production, most of the cast was saying hello as I walked into the theatre area. And I certainly wasn't surprised to see her there. TJ had one of the main roles in the show, the "young courtesan" of the prince. No, I would have to say the reason I was surprised was that this beautiful young blond had leaped into my arms and was proceeding to give me a full body hug: her firm legs wrapped tightly around my torso, her arms entwined about my neck, and her lips planted fully on mine.
At first, I was so stunned that the only thing I could think to do was to move my arms around her to support her weight. Presence of mind finally returned and I reached a little lower to make her more comfortable. And so, the last dress rehearsal began with my hands cupping TJ's ass while she hung on for dear life.
Her lips were still attached to mine, and I began to feel her tongue starting to tentatively explore. I opened my mouth, briefly played my tongue against hers, then gently set her down, giving her a very puzzled look.
"Well, I'm very happy to see you, too," I said. "I'm just glad Peter didn't try to greet me in the same way!"
TJ laughed, flipped her hair. "I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate being in the show!" she replied. "The last few months have been so much fun, and everyone in the cast is so nice, and you've been great, and..."
"Slow down, slow down!" I interrupted. "You were given the part because you nailed the audition β just like the rest of the cast. You've more than earned your spot on stage."
"I know, but this being my first show, I just wanted to make sure I did a really nice job for you."
As she spoke, I suddenly realized that her costume, which was fairly revealing to begin with, was just a little more so tonight. The tops of her breasts were peeking out of the center of her shift, and I could swear the front lacing was much looser than it had been during previous rehearsals. There's no way this 22-year old hottie was coming on to me, I thought; I'm 10 years her senior and there must be someone closer to her age that she is interested in. Still, the attention was nice, as were her breasts, so I enjoyed the view while we continued to talk. After a bit, I gathered the cast on stage, began the final dress, and put the encounter with TJ out of my mind.
5 hours later, the cast and I were finally satisfied with the show. We had made a few changes, added a bit of banter between the prince and his mother, and tightened up some of the fight scenes. As the theater emptied, I stayed behind to put the stage right for the opening act tomorrow night. As I was moving the king's high-back throne into its proper position, I thought I heard the side stage door opening. Not expecting anyone this late, I cautiously approached the back stage area.
"Michael" came the quiet question, "are you still here?"
"Right here, TJ," I replied, rather deadpan. "What did'ya forget this time?" During the course of rehearsals, TJ had been dubbed the "Forgetful Courtesan", as it became clear to the cast that, shortly after leaving for the night, she'd be back within 10 minutes for a hairbrush, make up bag, backpack...you name it, she left it behind.
She strolled onto the stage, still dressed in her courtly finery. "I really thought my cell phone was in my bag, but now I can't find it. Did you happen to see it anywhere?"
"No" I said, "although I haven't been all through the back stage areas or the dressing rooms. Let's go take a look."
"Thanks. You're a doll." She took my hand and we marched back stage to start the hunt.
About 10 minutes into the search, the unmistakable strains of "Greased Lightning" rang out through the back stage area. Startled, I turned to look at TJ, who was frantically digging through her bag. She grinned sheepishly at me, and pulled out her "missing" cell phone, hitting the mute as she did.
"So," I smirked. "You found it."
"Um...well...ya see," she stammered, as she put the phone back in her bag. "I was standing outside, trying to get up the nerve to come back in, and the cell phone gag was the only thing I could think of."
