A spring evening at the pub: someone's birthday and everyone pulling out twenty dollar bills at the same time to pay for the pitchers. The warm breeze on the patio rustling the umbrellas. He sat on one side of the table between friends, she sat opposite, and between the two of them the empties grew, one for one, two for two, until they became less interested in the banter and more interested in each other. Everyone else too buzzed to notice or care.
She looked across at him. Loved how his shirt looked on him with a few buttons opened, casual, rumpled just the right way, sleeves rolled up, exposing those tanned wrists. The wind parted his hair and picked up his twenty, his hand snapped out to retrieve it at the edge of the table and slid back it again in one graceful movement. She liked his khaki shorts, his deck shoes and no socks. She wanted to feel the texture of his thighs, the wispy hairs and the point where the hem of his shorts ended.
She had his attention all evening with her shorts -sleeved white lycra top, crisscrossing her bosom tightly. It was tucked into a short little wrap-around denim skirt tied at the side that would open up along her bare thigh whenever she sat and crossed her legs. She'd painted her toenails a cool shade of silver and wore her black sandals with a low heel and an ankle bracelet. She eyed him and smiled. He smiled back. She slipped off her sandals into her bare feet and brought them up, slowly, slid them along his thighs and rested them against his crotch. He felt her bare legs, cool against his, and the bottoms of her feet, her toes arching to rub him suggestively.
His hands dipped below the table, brushed her feet, began to give her what she wanted. A slow, sensuous massage. She knew he would caress her feet all day if he could, just as he knew she could sit and enjoy it all day. And while he did, she slowly moved her toes in circular patterns against his him.
"I know what you're thinking," she said. Her toes pushed in, moved it, relaxed. Pushed in again, moved it a little further, relaxed again.
"What am I thinking?" he replied. His thumb worked against her instep, feeling her soles change their texture as her toes pointed and nudged him further out.
She leaned forward across the table and let her toes push firmly against him and to the side. "You're going to come soon," she said, in a breathy whisper, as his hard, swelling head was nudged from the legs of his shorts and into the cool air. Her bare toes brushed against its swollen, wet tip.
"Slow down," he said. Her feet shifted to either side of him, rubbing him slowly. His hands stopped massaging, paused, came up from under the table and found nothing to hold on to.
She had no expression on her face. Lifting a glass of cool water to her lips, she drank. The others at the table were oblivious to her activity. Her feet moved slowly, becoming slippery with him. She arched her head back, closed her eyes and felt the breeze across her throat, pretended it was all she was enjoying. Wondered how long she could rub him before he lost control. Such a thing to do to someone. Rubbing him with her toes until he comes. Feeling his skin against hers being pulled taut one way, then pulled taut the other way, imagining each little jolt created by every stroke, tingling to the point of numbness, all from the simple act of her soft skin sliding along his. Stroke down with the toe, feel the slight friction, feel him twitch in response, stroke up, feel the wetness anew, the soft skin swelling, flushing, changing. Each twitch asking her for another stroke, but - not too quickly or too hard. Just enough to keep it all back from rushing away to infinity.
She felt him twitch between her feet. His hand softly stopped her.
"I think you need to make a phone call," he said. She arched an eyebrow, and quietly slid her feet, still wet with him, back into her sandals. She reached for her purse, looked at him.
"I was going to come," he said.
She got up, excused herself to the others and slipped away. He gave it thirty seconds. Too hard to move. He shifted, moved himself into his shorts and gave it another thirty seconds, then slipped away and found the alcove at the side of the building where she waited. Down a short flight of steps, around a corner, away from traffic, leaning against the pay phone, one knee raised and the foot resting on the wall.
He walked up to her, put his face an inch from hers.
"Who do you want me to call?" she whispered.
He stared into her eyes and slid his hands down her sides, down her skirt, under the hem and up the back. Finding her panties he gently rolled them down, never taking his eyes off her, letting her hands take over and finish the job. She raised one knee, deftly pulled her right leg out of the panties, then the left, then gave them to him. He put them into his pocket. Kissed her. Rubbed her in little dime circles. She stopped him and pulled his ear to her mouth and whispered, "I want to go home, Daddy. I want you inside me."
They left their friends behind, left their twenties behind, left the empties and the patio and walked to the street. She felt warm between her legs, felt the cool evening air and the nothingness as her denim skirt hem flared teasingly out above her bare thighs, bouncing off her hips with each step, dangerously close to letting people find her out. They hailed a cab with her legs.
Inside the taxi, she squirmed against him, crossed her legs, let him run his fingers up and down her thighs, let her skirt hem ride high, the slit opening up the side. He teased it open further with his fingers, let her bare hip become exposed, towards her waist. She brought her teeth gently down on his earlobe and whispered quietly, "Stop that," as he completely exposed her bare thigh and hip up to the waistband of the skirt, bringing her close to being exposed. She pulled her wrap closed and checked whether the driver had seen. She squeezed her mate through his shorts, darting a finger inside and then out again.
He took her chin gently with his hand and held it, rubbing it gently with his thumb and forefinger. "Think I'd like to do something before I come inside you," he murmured.
"Do you want to take my picture, Daddy?" she breathed. He hadn't photographed her for months.
"Mmm. Just the way you are."
