I knew the moment that Katrina walked out of the Tube station that tonight would be special. The first clue was the long, dark coat that she wore tightly-buttoned, even though the November night was unseasonably mild. The second was the hungry look in her eyes when she saw me.
We kissed, but she pulled away after only a moment. She glanced from left to right and decided that the crowds passing through Piccadilly Circus were paying us no attention. She reached for the buttons of the coat and slowly undid them. The smouldering in her eyes intensified.
Underneath she wore a silk blouse, sheer and soft. Her breathing quickened as I stared with naked desire, taking in her taut stomach and the breasts pushed hard against the fabric. Her nipples were erect and visible through the thin material.
Her skirt was black, tight and very brave. It was so short I had to double-check it was there. All I could see was endless, perfect legs stretching from her black heels to the high hemline.
I stood bedazzled and she laughed, her eyes sparking and her blonde hair shaking about her shoulders. She pulled the coat tight again and tied with the belt that hung loose in loops around her waist. She leaned in close.
"Did you like what you saw?" she asked.
"Very much," I said.
"Well, you've seen everything I'm wearing tonight."
That took my breath away. "You're not wearing any underwear?" I said. "With that outfit?"
"Nope," and with a half-skip she grabbed my hand and pulled me through the throng. "Let's go."
We threaded our way through the mass of people and drifted north towards Soho. She held my hand tightly, laughing and chatting as we walked. The evening had a chill but after the recent cold snap it was pleasant to be outside, and we didn't hurry. Up ahead, a tiny park loomed, just a couple of trees and a bench on a Soho corner. Katrina turned to me. "Let's sit here for a moment."
We sat down on the bench, side-by-side. For about a minute, we made small talk and then I turned my head to see Katrina directly. She was staring at me, and as I looked, she made an involuntary movement with her tongue, peeking out briefly between moistened lips then retracting. It was inviting, enticing, so I leaned in and kissed her.
The kiss was gentle at first, our tongues exploring each other's mouths, entwining and tasting. I moved one hand round to stroke the nape of her neck, just at the hairline, my fingers warmed by the blonde waves falling down over her shoulders. The other hand clasped her back, pulling her close.
Our kiss became more urgent, lips crushed together, bodies shifting on the bench. Katrina reached down and moved my hand from her back. At first, she just held it, then she slid my fingers round to the front, where her coat was held closed just by the belt at her waist.
That was all the prompting I needed. I slipped my hand through the gap and found the sheer silk underneath, warm and smooth. I could feel the narrow scar that ran from her navel to her breastbone as if there was nothing between it and my fingers and I traced my way gently along it to the top just between her breasts. I continued my journey upwards, stroking her collarbone and revelling in silky smoothness. She kissed me harder as I moved my hand back down over the swell of her breasts, feeling the contours, the fabric sliding against her skin, her nipples.
Two women walked past in the street. Katrina buried her face in my shoulder, her body shaking with giggles.
"Do you think they know what we are doing?" she whispered.
"Of course," I whispered back.
The reply was barely audible. "Good."
I moved my hand around underneath the coat, pulling her close towards me. She looked up and her lips sought mine again, kissing me with hunger. I relaxed into it, my eyes closed, enjoying the taste, the feel. My hand roamed across her back and further down to the top of the skirt.
