They got into the car still basking in the glow of the fitting. They were quiet, awed and awkward. She had taken the train, hating to drive in the city. His car was only a few years old but not very chic. He started to open the sunroof then looking at her hair thought better of it.
They pulled into the flow of traffic and meandered north out of the crowded city to a suburban area. They had not discussed the after shopping activities but he was hungry as much for her as for food. In fact he was definitely more hungry for her than food. It had been two years since his last sexual encounter. It had been very disappointing and proof of both the downward spiral of his marriage and the upward spiral of his age: He hadn't been able to get it up; even with Viagra. He was 48 and had given up on ever having a sex life. His wife was divorcing him in part because of that. He didn't mind.
But as he drove he realized that he had a budding erection much as he had experienced during their conversations over the last few weeks. It surprised and delighted him but he was doubtful that it would hold out. He was worried, but knew that he wanted her.
They stopped at a Target and went shopping. They touched as they walked the aisles choosing hummus, grapes, cheeses, raspberries, pita, a bottle of red wine. They smiled like kids on their way to the prom, still riding the warmth of their time in the Corset Shoppe. They checked out and headed for the hotel he had selected, one of the extended stay variety with a kitchenette and even a small balcony. He had checked in earlier and made sure he had water, juice, tea and utensils; the bathroom was clean as well as the bedding.
The closer they got to the hotel the more excited he became and the more nervous. This beautiful woman had invited him to the fitting and the events of that visit were seared in his mind. He saw her and watched her and felt filled by her excitement. The fact that she came when she was instructed to was miraculous to him. He had seen her through the fishnet and lovely as it was, it was in the way. He wondered what she wore under the dress.
They arrived at the hotel just after two and entered the room. She was talkative now, making conversation to cover her anxiety. She had been without sexual contact for almost a year and the thought of this handsome man in front her made her weak. Her husband had been a regular and competent lover, but not adventurous. It was rare for them to do anything unusual and he would never give her instructions or be spontaneous. Often she had dressed up for him in a corset and stockings but he didn't seem to like it and she eventually stopped. It had been years since she put on a half bra, crotchless panties, and thigh highs. But today they seemed to be the right choice.
As soon as they were in the room, she took off her shoes and moved around looking at the room. It met her requirements. He was standing by the closet and reached out both hands to her. She expected a hug and moved closer instead, he took her hands in his and began to pray. She was torn. She loved his prayer but she wanted to touch more than his hands, she wanted to feel his skin and his chest pressed against her. After all she had touched his hands before. She wanted more. He prayed for them and when he released her hands she pulled him to her not so much in a sexual move but more in one of deep appreciation. She put her arms around him and was happy. He felt the swell of her breasts, the warmth of her breath on his cheek, the fullness of her body and was comfortable. She had always been a place of comfort for him, now she was becoming a safe place to land. He could stay here forever but he wanted more. He stepped back and led her to what passed for a couch. This was certainly not your normal interaction between members of the church. Not between a Pastor and a woman of God.
They sat and he confessed that he was nervous, he didn't know how to behave. He wasn't in the habit of being in hotel rooms with women at all let alone for sex. She kept smiling and covering her face with her hands much like a teenager out for the first time with her boyfriend. He told her she was beautiful and she closed her eyes and giggled. He reached for the ashtray next to her and as he did she raised her face to his as it passed by. Their lips met. He was gentle giving her angel kisses on her lips and cheeks careful not to move too fast. After a moment she opened her mouth slightly and her tongue stabbed at him encouraging him to fully kiss her. He did.
