On the walk home, Kate suspected she might well be glowing. She certainly felt that way, and she fully expected Julie and Scott to notice and ask more nosy questions. Fortunately (or not), they weren't home when Kate arrived. So she made dinner for herself and ate in pleasant silence. After dinner she was still much too excited with the memory of the kiss to think about doing anything serious, so she poured a glass of wine and settled on the living room couch.
The television was on, but no channel could hold Kate's attention against the memory of Seth's embrace and the promise of more tomorrow. Again and again she could sense the memory of his had body close against hers at long last, his hard cock straining to break out and poke her so delightfully below, the thrill of having been stark naked in his presence twice now. Nothing else had any chance of holding her attention. As the wine lowered her inhibitions, Kate could resist no longer. She uncurled her legs and stretched out on the couch, and unbuttoned her jeans.
For all her interest in Seth, Kate had never fantasized about him before. It felt too much like sullying a pure feeling of affection, or maybe she had just never believed things would come to this with him anyway. Whatever the reason, she had focused her fantasies elsewhere up to now. But with the ice broken, there was no inhibition at all as Kate reached down and imagined it was Seth's fingers tickling her vulva instead of her own, that he was lying there nude and rock hard on the couch with her, easing one finger inside...
Kate's breathing had grown so heavy she was barely aware of the key turning in the door. It registered with her just in time to pull her hand out of her pants, but not in time to re-button them. So she hastily pulled her sweater down over the waistband and hoped Julie and Scott wouldn't notice. She crossed her legs, doing her best to ignore the moist longing between them, and sipped her wine as incongruously as she could.
"Kate! You look happy."
"Hi Jewels, Scott. Yes, I am happy." She pointed to the wine bottle and hoped they might opt to take it into their room.
They didn't. Scott poured himself a glass and sat beside Kate on the couch. "Getting an early start on the drink? No wonder you're happy."
"Mm, I'm not sure if that's it," Julie told him. Kate gave Julie a look, but it didn't stop her bigmouthed friend. "Or maybe you're drinking to celebrate? More progress with Seth?"
At least that was steering the conversation into safer waters. "Yes," Kate said. "There has been progress."
"Progress from yesterday, when you didn't have sex in the changing room but it was something like that?" Julie recalled. "Does that mean today you did have sex in the changing room?"
"No, but we might tomorrow," Kate said brazenly, pleased with herself now for having not been caught with her pants down.
Scott nearly spat out his wine. "Wow. I mean, I'm sorry, I know it's none of my business, but wow!"
"Yeah, what's gotten into you, Kate?" Julie asked. "Or is the problem that Seth still hasn't gotten into you?"
After the laughter died down, Kate admitted, "Maybe that is it. Sexual frustration will do funny things to us. Even quiet conservative little ol' me." She thought of elaborating, but was enjoying the enigma she was creating too much to do that, and took a long sip of wine instead.
"So just how did you get through to him?" Seth asked. "If you have actually, I mean."
"Oh, I have," Kate acknowledged. "And I owe it to you, Scott. I took your advice."
"What advice?"
"You said 'Show up naked.'"
Julie howled with more laughter, then stopped when Kate didn't join her. "You're not serious, Kate?"
