The tram rattled and shook as it passed over the junction at Ponds Forge, filled to the rafters with early morning commuters, close packed, limited standing room only. She stood holding the rail, her back to me, my right hand round her waist. As the tram climbed the lower reaches of the city of Sheffield so my left hand rose under her skirt.
Chrissie was enjoying it I knew. It was planned, daring, a thrill to touch her in this way in a public place. By the time the tram had pulled into the Cathedral stop my hand had reached her stocking top, found flesh, the joy of all men from the first sticky days of puberty. During the steep rise to West Street so Chrissie managed to open her legs slightly, swaying with the throng around her. I held her firmly with one hand, found how wet she was with the other. Her head came back to rest on my shoulder, her eyes closing as fingers moved deeper.
As we approached University I stopped fingering her and put both arms around her waist and kissed the nape of her neck. A gradual halt and we waited our turn to disembark. A glance around to see who had noticed us if anyone at all as we pushed carnal craving a notch higher. Probably in her late twenties a woman stood opposite us just staring. She knew, she saw. I made eye contact, put a finger in my mouth and slowly sucked on it. The taste of my lover.
We worked at the same place Chrissie and I. We'd tried hard to not reveal to our fellow workers, relationships in the workplace frowned upon especially as Chrissie was my managers manager. The pair of us had flirted like crazy at first, subtle comments, deft touches, crafty looks, smiles. Funny how eyes convey messages whilst the lips dare not speak the truth. Why two fourty-somethings would act like teenagers heaven only knew. Give us acne and we would have been the part.
You must remember your first kiss? It makes your head spin doesn't it? We were disputing something or other as we climbed the stairs at work, me looking up her skirt at the best legs you've ever seen, Chrissie knowing it and liking it. She suddenly stopped, span round and there she was, in my arms. A kiss so deep. Months of pent up desire went into that kiss, she almost choked me with her tongue. When at last the clinch was over we both stood panting and smiling. Smiling. Never stopped for the rest of the day but oh how that day dragged when all we wanted was to get away and be together.
An email, short, succinct with instructions, managerial directions. Got to the station at different times but boarded the same train, found spare seats and settled as the unfamiliar landscape speed past en route to Chrissies abode. I kissed her ear, then bit it gently. She exhaled, breathless, then smiled, a knowing smile, took my hand and held it on her lap throughout the journey.
Her apartment was sharp, meant for a single person, looking like time to spare had been spent on it, no rich mans toys, just good quality things, Lorna Bailey porcelain, John Ditchfield glass. A collector. No pictures of family or friends, no memories to adorn plain walls. It reflected Chrissie - organised, forward thinking, confident.
A black cat purred lazily at her feet, hungry, desiring attention.
"Later kitty".
She led me to the bedroom, took me by the hand, said nothing. We didn't kiss, no touching or groping. She just undressed and I just watched, a slow methodical, teasing as if teasing were needed. Breasts strong from being so fit. Legs long and sleek with or without the stockings on. She stood naked before me.
"You'd better get undressed too. I can do this alone but I'd prefer it if you joined in".
She smiled, put a palm to my cheekbone, kissed me on the forehead and then got on the bed. I was a virgin again, a very, very nervous virgin. A man in this state has no style, undressing a fumbling act, nakedness a concern.
"And your socks please" she laughed. As I obeyed she reached over to the bedside drawer and selected a condom from the many within. I grew cold with worry as she fitted it snugly over my erection. She bade me join her on the bed and I lay down beside her.
"Hello you. It's taken a long time hasn't it".
With those words she straddled me, took my member and inserted it into herself. I have to be crude here and I apologise but there is only one way to put what happened next - she fucked me.
