Leah stepped into the bar and was pleasantly surprised. Everything from the secretive doorman to the 20s music playing from the jukebox to the menu of specialty cocktails played into the speakeasy aesthetic. She'd hoped Ben would invite her out somewhere fun.
Leah didn't need to wait much longer for him to show up. Even in the dim light of the bar, his blue eyes rivaled the brightness of his smile. And his tattooed skin... well. He may not have been "covered in ink" as he claimed on his dating profile, but she could work with this.
"This seat taken?"
"Not at all." Leah gestured and Ben sat across from her. Neither took their eyes off the other.
"Leah, in the flesh."
"Ben, not a catfish."
Ben chuckled.
A server approached and Ben ordered a bottle of red wine for the both of them. When it arrived, he poured a glass for Leah before himself.
"Such a gentleman." Leah sipped the wine. It was sweet and tasted like berries.
"Did you expect anything else?"
"A little?" Leah giggled. "I mean, all that talk of weird fantasies and eating 'peaches.' Not that I'm complaining. It's just a side of you I haven't seen yet."
Ben smirked at her. "Well. I hope to show you a lot more of me very soon. 'Weird' fantasies and all."
"Now
there's
the Ben I know."
He responded by licking his lips.
The rest of their conversation flowed freely, thanks in small part to the wine. But the sexual tension grew between them with every word. Leah suspected her face would never go back to its un-flushed state. And judging by the gleam in Ben's eyes as he looked at her, he was enjoying it. Before long, the bottle was emptied.
At a lull in the conversation, Ben reached out and took her hand in his.
"I'm really glad I matched with you."
"Same." Leah squeezed his hand. Someone took this opportunity to play some louder music on the jukebox. Leah took this as an invitation to move closer to Ben.
"The night doesn't have to end just yet." Ben leaned close to her ear and murmured, "Don't you remember what my weird fantasy was?"
How could she forget
that
? "Of course I do."
"It doesn't have to stay a fantasy."
The wine-fueled sexual tension reached critical mass. Leah let out a contented sigh and smiled. "So you want to give it a try, then?"
"Fucking absolutely." Ben moved his chair closer and nervously glanced around the bar. Nobody paid them any mind, and the music was louder than ever. Perfect.
Leah faced him, leaned forward, and opened her legs. Ben pulled her in for a passionate kiss. His fingers traced a line from her jaw to her cleavage and he cupped her breast in his left hand.
Leah ran her hand up the length of his thigh, prompting Ben to open his legs wider in invitation. Her hand rested on his bulge. It twitched under her palm, and Ben's kiss deepened.
He reached further up Leah's dress until he reached her already damp panties. He smirked, running his fingers up and down her most sensitive spot just enough to tease her. She couldn't stop herself from moaning.
"Keep quiet now," Ben teased her softly. "Or I'll have to stop."
"Please don't."
Ben grinned and pushed her panties to the side, slipping one finger inside her.
Leah gasped and went in for another kiss. But it wasn't subtle enough, so Ben paused.
"We're going to play a little game," he purred. "Be good and stay quiet, and we'll keep playing. But if you make any more noise..." he pulled his finger away.
Leah opened her mouth to speak, but thought better of it at the last second. She nodded.
