The
Remember When
had been open for about half an hour that summer morning, still too early for most tourists to be prowling Antique Row in search of treasures. I entered through the back door into the storeroom to find my partner Ellyce (known usually as "Ell") seated at the big roll top desk talking on the phone. As the shaft of sunlight from the open door cut across her face, she raised her hand to shield her eyes, the gesture becoming a welcoming wave when she recognized me. I crossed the dimly lit room and quietly slipped into the oak chair behind her while Ell continued her conversation. She made just enough room for me to nudge myself against the notch of her deliciously rounded backside.
Ell and I had turned each other on since the night my sister introduced us in the pub. Our mutual attraction must have been painfully obvious to everyone else at the table, because, for us, they immediately ceased to exist. We became what I have since called "our universe of two", at home in each other's company, and arms, ever since.
Our initial shyness proved an obstacle, but once we became intimate, we quickly made up for lost time. I still recall our first kiss on the floor of her parent's living room a few days later ΒΎ the warmth of her soft breast through the fabric of her cotton shirt, the hunger in her lips as I slid my hand beneath the waist of her jeans and into her dampening panties.
Since that day we have never failed to arouse each other sexually, reveling unashamedly in our passion, sharing erotic letters and intimate tokens whenever circumstances separated us.
From what I could gather from Ell's side of the phone conversation, the caller was a woman who was deliberating having
Remember When
conduct an estate sale for her newly widowed aunt at a small farm up the Valley. Ell is very proficient at connecting with prospects like this. She possesses the common touch and invariably wins their trust and confidence, and our business has prospered as a result. Recognizing she needed to remain patiently attentive to allow the prospective client enough time to convince herself that she needed our services, I set about making Ell's task as difficult as possible.
From my advantaged position behind her in the saddle of the armless swivel chair, I pressed myself along the full length of Ell's back, reaching around to embrace the cone of her breast through the light fabric of her cotton dress. As I anticipated, she immediately sat up, which placed her neck within reach of my predatory lips. Nuzzling her behind her right ear, I inhaled the fresh scent of her short blond hair, sending a shiver through her entire body. As I persisted, those waves of sensation eventually proved too much and Ell succumbed, sighing softly into the mouthpiece. I stifled a chuckle as she was forced to cover her tracks with her dismayed caller.
Without missing a beat I unbuttoned first one, then the second of the row of large buttons that secured the front of her dress from neckline to hem. At the same time I caressed the gentle swell of her belly, urging her buttocks back against me. Ell resisted half-heartedly, but then, realizing she was at my mercy, surrendered to the inevitable.
My tongue traced the lobe of her ear, and she squirmed away, giving me the opening I needed to insinuate my right hand into her dΓ©colletage. I cupped her gently through her light brasserie. Her pink nipple hardened as I held the weight of her breast in my palm. I could feel her heart beating. Vainly attempting to remain impassive through this exquisite torture, Ell finally stretched luxuriously and her side of the phone conversation devolved into a series of "uh-huhs".
Brushing her puckering nipple with one hand, I slowly raised the hem of her dress with the other, loosening the lowest button before Ell thoroughly grasped my intention. Anticipating a defensive elbow to my ribs, I was caught off guard when she reached back and ran her hand over the swelling bulge in my sweat pants. With the tables now effectively turned, our mutual fondling became steadily steamier, until Ell finally had to beg out of her conversation, offering the excuse that she needed to attend to a customer who had just entered the store.
While Ell was replacing the phone in its carriage, but before she had the chance to blast me for the trick I'd played on her, I managed to extricate myself from the chair and retreat into the showroom through the beaded curtain that separated it from the storeroom. With her finger wagging and a devilish "I'll-get-you-for-this" smile on her face, Ell followed fast on my heels. But not quickly enough. As I entered the store, I had spotted a middle-aged woman pushing open the front door. I quickly ducked down behind the back counter, unobserved by our new arrival, leaving Ell no option but to she struggle to refasten her dress while greet the customer.
