This story was so much fun to write. I ran to the computer every night when the family was finally asleep, ready to burst with all the plot and dialogue ideas I'd come up with during the day. It is the first story I've ever submitted anywhere, so be gentle!
I wouldn't deserve to feel nearly as proud of it if it weren't for the superhuman editing powers of Weird Harold. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If I could, I'd like to make a suggestion about some music that I think you should listen to while reading this. Moby's latest,Play
. I listened to it exclusively while I was writing. It compliments the story perfectly. And it's just a darn good CD!

Ahhh! This is what I needed!
I took a deep breath of the fresh, salty air, savoring the sights around me. The late afternoon sun warmed my skin as I stood in a garden filled with flowers and sculpture. I desperately needed to indulge my senses after a hectic, demanding business trip to Los Angeles.
It was at the Getty Museum where I found my reprieve. The museum is a superb complex of galleries and patios, perched high on a hill overlooking the Pacific. On every trip to L.A., I tried to spend some time there, to unwind, to delight in the stunning visual setting. On this June afternoon, I smiled to myself as the combination of nature and art again worked its magic on me.
Suddenly, my reverie was broken.
"Hallie!"
I heard a man's voice behind me, with a slight Slavic accent, calling my name.
No! That can't be...
In spite of the years since I had heard that voice, I immediately knew who it was; not so much for what I heard with my ears, but from an old familiar feeling which started in my stomach and traveled down to my nether regions.
"Sasha!" I squealed, spinning around. We threw ourselves into each other's arms, kissing and laughing.
"What are you doing here?" I exclaimed breathlessly. "How in the world did you recognize me?"
"No problem recognizing your incredible behind, sweetheart! You look fantastic!" With his accent, it sounded like "s
v
eetheart." I thought he had a
very
sexy accent. It also occurred to me that I was wearing my best black dress with the little straps, the one that fit so well. I was flushed with the success of my meeting that day.
You know, I
do
look pretty hot.
"
You
haven't changed, have you?" I responded with a laugh. "Tell me this isn't just a coincidence!"
"Well, I work here."
"No way!"
"I happened to see your name on today's parking reservation list. I scanned the security cameras after your arrival time until I spotted you. I've been watching you since then, voyeur that I am"
Sasha's beautiful face had typical Eastern European features: high cheekbones, chiseled jaw line, pale skin. His eyes were hard to define - sometimes gray, sometimes blue, with abundant dark lashes. He kept his thick, black hair short in the back, but had an unruly lock that he often pushed back as it fell into his face. He wasn't exceptionally tall, but his lean, hard body and confident posture gave one that impression. I remember thinking that he was
cute
when I knew him at school; I could not believe how incredibly good-looking he had become.
About seven years earlier, I had a serious flirtation with this angular Russian while we were students at a prestigious international graduate program. We were both dating others, but I got to know him better when we worked on a couple of projects together. We enjoyed chatting when we met in the dining commons or at the campus pub, where we engaged in fierce matches of foosball. Yes, I probably was quite a tease, much to the annoyance of my then-boyfriend.
One night, having consumed far too many of my favorite, champagne cocktails, I let him escort me back to my room. He playfully pulled me down on my bed and I let him have a few tongue-laden kisses. By the time his hands made it down my torso and wriggled under my pants, I was helpless. I just lay there while he took one finger and ran it up and down my lips, slowly. Dipping his fingers into my abundant moisture, he made lazy circles around my clit. He applied more and more pressure until I came in a short but intense burst. When I stopped convulsing, I couldn't move.
He then did the most amazing thing - he kissed me on the forehead and said goodnight. I wanted to show my appreciation, but he was gone before I knew it.
A few weeks later, we were at a school party; people were dancing outside in the quad on a fairly hot evening. The periphery of the quad area was very dark. I was walking through an unlit corridor back to the party when Sasha came up suddenly from behind and pulled me into a doorway. He pinned me to the wall, his mouth and his hands all over me. I returned his kisses with an excitement that took me by surprise. He whispered, "Let's go back to your room," but I protested that my boyfriend would come looking for me there.
"You know what? I owe you! I never forget an unreciprocated hand job! Over there," I commanded, pushing him around the corner into a totally secluded, dark recess behind the building.
I fell to my knees in front of him, and reached for his zipper. Cupping his balls from the outside with one hand, I pulled his already hard cock from his pants. He let out a low moan. Wetting my lips, I rubbed them on the tip, around and around. My fingers ran up and down, all around his huge, silky shaft. I looked up to see his eyes closed, his head thrown back against the wall, an expression of amazed pleasure on his face. He grabbed the back of my head and pushed me onto his shaft. I sunk his cock all the way to my throat. He moaned, jerking his hips in and out; I just stayed still and let him work it. When I felt a blast of warm cum hit the back of my throat, I swallowed it like crazy. He stopped moving and slumped against the wall, totally spent.
The memory of these two encounters flooded into my mind in a fraction of a second. It happened during the last few weeks before I graduated, so we didn't have the chance to explore a relationship. After I left school, we lost touch, but I never did stop thinking about him. I wonder what he would have thought had he known he was the object of many of my masturbatory fantasies in the time since we had parted.
"I am so amazed that we ran into each other like this. And here, in my favorite spot in the world! How long have you worked here?"
He grinned broadly. "For a few years. Started out translating for an exhibit from the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. I guess they liked me here because they've kept me on. I'm a special projects director now. So what about you?"
"That's wonderful! As for me, well... You know, there's a lot to tell. Is there somewhere we can go, maybe get a drink?"
"Let's go upstairs to where I work. I think you'll be impressed. And, I've got something for you up there!"
