He wished it was her apartment they were walking up to. If it was her apartment, she would be leading the way and he would have a few moments to take in her figure. He had been trying to see it all night but it was hard to make it out in a dark movie theater. Or in the car, even though the seat belt had sat snuggled in between her breasts the entire car ride.
He was jealous of the seat belt.
He was fiddling with his keys to the building, pretending to find the right one while using the moment to stare down at her waist. Her jeans sat like a second skin against her hips. Glancing up, she was biting her lip, nervously waiting for him.
His moral fibers enraged all the other fibers in his body as he asked, "Are you sure you want to come up? If you're having second thoughts we can always schedule dinner later this week and..."
She interrupted him, shaking her head, "I want to see your apartment. I keep imagining what your place is like and trying to picture where you are when we message back and forth. I'm way too curious to go back now."
Popping the door open, he smiled at her, "Curiosity killed the cat. I hope yours isn't infectious because Finnegan doesn't need any extra encouragement."
Her eyes laughing she looked up him, "Oh! Your kitty! I can't wait to meet him!"
They stepped into his apartment and, as he closed the door behind them, he asked, "So? Is it anything like you imagined? We should do your place next so I can picture you sitting around the house in little, lacy negligees."
Walking into his living room, she turned around to tease him, "Negligees? That sounds fancy and complicated. I just walk around naked."
Naked?
Was that a wink?
Naked.
The word hung in the air, suddenly turning her laughing tease from a second ago into a heavy remark that reminded them both of why they were here. She stood, looking up at him. He wasn't responding to her remark and she was nervously biting her lip again. Her bottom lip was full and his eyes traced the bottom edge of the soft curve.
He closed the few steps between them and slid his hand around her waist, pulling her body against his. She was smaller than him, but her body was soft and warm as he held her waist against his. It was almost as if a physical magnetism was holding them together. Slipping his other hand into her hair he said in a low voice, "Please, feel free to walk around naked here."
The comment was almost lost on her as he leaned in and gently placed his lips against hers. She tasted salty from the popcorn they had eaten on their date and her luscious lower lip pressed softly against his mouth. She pressed her body even closer to his, her hands moving around him to rest against his back.
His hand was combing through her silky locks while it was as if her mouth was a hot enticement of what she had to offer. She overtook his senses and he felt his body respond with his growing excitement of the moment.
He tore his mouth and body from her, practically dragging her into his bedroom. She pulled her shirt up and over her head and started to slide out of her tight jeans, bracing her arm on the nightstand as she lifted one foot up.
He had been unbuttoning his shirt, but now he stood still with fear as he saw his night ending. Her hand accidentally slid a motorcycle magazine off his nightstand to show what had been lazily hidden underneath.
He held his breath as she glanced over and gasped at the dirty magazine now facing her. It was flipped open to a page showing a well-endowed, skinny blond in small scraps of black material. The woman lay on a bed, her massive blond curls arranged seductively around her face and her red lips worked into a pout. She had on black fishnet stockings and her legs were spread showing off her shaved center.
He waited while she picked up the magazine and looked closer. The woman's legs were spread because her knees were tied up to her arms and her wrists were tied to the bed.
She still only had one pant leg off and now she sat down on the edge of the bed, still holding the magazine. He stood frozen, unable to move anything but his eyes as he watched her, waiting for her ridicule.
She flipped through the book, glancing over the pictures. Finally, she cleared her throat and said, "Have you... are you...?"
Finally she settled on her question, "Are you into this?"
Should he lie?
She immediately asked another question, "Is this something you were going to eventually want me to do with you?"
He tried to reason with her, "We haven't even had sex, yet. We don't know where this relationship is actually going. Please, can you put the magazine down and forget about it for now? I don't want it to ruin what was going to be a really great night."
She narrowed her eyes at him, "A great night?"
Then she shook her head, "No, now I'm curious about it," she flipped to a page and pointed to the woman on it, "She's really pretty."
