Chapter 1
Skirts
What man hasn't at some time been stirred by just the sight of a skirt swirling around a pair of long, shapely legs? She me one and I'll show you a blind man! Let's be honest and admit it, a skirt, one that's neither too long, nor somewhat perversely, too ridiculously short, is one thing a woman with even reasonably good legs can wear and know that she'll arouse more than just the interest of most of the men who happen to see her walking by.
And the effectiveness can be created by a wide variety of types of skirt, though undoubtedly each man will have his own particular favourite. Some responding to tight-fitting, shape-hugging skirts, some to those that are made of multiple pleats, some to those slitted, at the back, side or front, some to those with a completely fly-away panel. But for me, and I'm sure many, many others, it's not so much the design that's important, it's the fabric. And the skirts that set my heart racing particularly fast are those made of soft, light, easily wind-blown material.
Just the thought of a glimpse of a good looking woman walking towards me in one of those, a light breeze catching and momentarily lifting the hem just that little bit higher, offering me the sight of just a little more leg, is more than enough to send my blood pressure soaring.
But, if I'm being absolutely honest, it's not just the sight of a great pair of legs beneath one of those skirts that really gets to me, though of course most of the time it has to be enough. No what really creates the full impact is the thought that goes with it, the thought of having my fingers slowly slipping up underneath that skirt, slipping up the full length of those beautiful, silky smooth legs.
I've spent many happy hours during the warmer months, usually around lunch-time in a busy area, one of the inner city parks or a side-walk café, just watching the passing parade and keeping my eyes peeled for any young woman wearing one of those skirts.
And I have lost count of how much time I have spent in quiet, somewhat philosophical thought during which I have tried to explain this attraction. After all, it's not as though women's legs aren't on show in many other ways, for instance when they wear shorts. But delightful though many a woman's bottom can be in a pair of tight fitting shorts; on the beach, during sport, and even on hot summer days when out shopping, at least for me, in shorts even a pair of really fine legs just doesn't have the same allure that a skirt adds.
Over the years I have at various times expressed my preference to many women friends, and a few have thought enough about me to do their best to please me by occasionally keeping my predilection in mind when choosing what to wear on a date. Others have taken my comments as either some sort of implied criticism of their sense of fashion, or a few, as a typical masculine attempt to keep women in their subservient place. But even those who were willing to sometimes at least humour me showed from what, when and how they wore one that they didn't truly appreciate the depth of feelings that were there to be tapped. That is all except one, Vanessa.
Chapter 2
Vanessa
We had been seeing each other for several weeks, doing the sorts of things people do during that early stage of a possible longer-term relationship; lunches or dinners, a couple of films, once to a theatre, and had shared both her and my bed several times. She was strikingly attractive, a tall brunette with liquidly brown eyes, an excellent figure, including a pair of quite spectacular legs, and had quickly proved to be a creatively enthusiastic lover. But, perhaps because until then the opportunity hadn't really arisen, or maybe because I subconsciously hoped that things between us might gradually get even more serious, at that stage I hadn't voiced or given any other hint of my special predilection.
But everything changed one fateful, and never to be forgotten Saturday. I forget now the exact reasons why we made the arrangement we did, I think she said she had some shopping to do, but we said we would meet for lunch at a place close by her apartment and then go on to an afternoon movie. I was running a bit early so rather than just sit and wait for her I went first to the movie complex to check on what was on offer before walking the rest of the way to the café. As luck would have it, and I thank heaven it did, Vanessa must have finished her shopping quicker than planned and had found she also had a little time to kill.
As I turned the final corner I saw her coming from the other direction and although she was still quite some way off and was wearing something I had never seen her in before I instantly knew it was her. Of course at that stage I didn't know if she was wearing the dress because it was the first really warm day we'd had that spring, or that it was something she had bought while shopping and had liked it so much she had chosen to wear it straight away. But I instantly loved it!
It was in what I think women call 'ice-cream' colours; light pastel shades of yellows, blues and dusky pinks that really showed off her permanently tanned looking olive skin. But it wasn't so much the colours that caught and held my attention, it was the style and even more especially the material. The top half was more than attractive enough to catch most men's gaze, its scoop neck and tailored fit showing off the size and shape of her beautiful breasts. But having registered all that my eyes automatically moved down, to see what was for me a truly fantastic skirt, hugging the line of her hips before flaring out into one that was full, and ended just a little above her knees. And what made it so absolutely perfect was that even from a fair distance I could tell from the way it gracefully moved that it must have been made from something resembling a fine, almost chiffon-like material.
The sight of her dressed like that made me stop in my tracks and then just stare, and the fact that she hadn't yet seen me, knew she was early and so was taking her time to stop every now and then to look in shop windows, gave me plenty in which to do so. As I watched her moving, pausing, then moving again the skirt slowly swirled around her legs, its lightness keeping it in motion for just a second or so after she had actually stopped. I admit I was spellbound, completely oblivious of the people brushing past me, only half-hearing the one or two uttering a soft curse because I was blocking their way, utterly entranced by the vision of her in that skirt.
But I wasn't so mesmerised that I didn't also react in what I guess was for me a completely predictable way, in just the one or two minutes I had before she happened to look up and spot me, I felt my cock responding to the feelings of arousal that just the sight of her had started. Then when she did look up and see me she smiled, but when she saw I was standing stock-still and just staring, the smile turned to a slightly puzzled frown. That change of expression was enough to suddenly bring me back to my senses and I mentally shook myself and moved towards her.
'You look absolutely stunning Vanessa!' I said when I reached her, then bent forward to kiss her cheek.
'You like it then?' she replied, stepping back to give me another look at her. 'I only just bought it, I couldn't resist, I simply had to wear it straight away.'
