Jacob stood in the middle of his living room. His ears strained to listen as he heard Nicole's footsteps fade as she ascended the stairs out of sight. Even though this routine was nothing new, Jacob could feel the budding anxiety and excitement in his stomach.
Jacob glanced at the time of his phone, 11PM. Late
enough
for what was about to happen, but just barely. He turned his gaze away from the stairs, spinning to face the sliding glass door that lead to his back yard.
Outside he could see his backyard, lined with a high wooden fence. The darkness was broken by the light glow of houses. Even at this hour many of the homes still had lights on. Jacob approached the sliding glass door and leaned to peer at his neighbors. He saw the silhouette of his neighbor move across her bedroom window. Maybe I shouldn't do this, Jacob thought. Maybe it's not late enough. Maybe this is crazy.
"No looking!" Nicole cooed. She began to descend the stairs behind Jacob. He stiffened at the sounds of heels hitting the hardwood floor.
"You moved? You aren't supposed to move!" Nicole scolded. "A little excited, are we?"
"I'm not sure it's late enough," Jacob responded. "The neighbor seems to be up and in her room."
"Are you worried?"
"It just feels a bit risky, is all." Jacob turned to face Nicole. She now donned a sheer black dress which was short enough to signal its intent as an intimate private garment. One of her arms rested playfully on her hip.
Nicole smiled. "Luckily you don't have to worry about it, because you don't get to decide. Now come over here and turn around."
Jacob's heart leapt and he felt a familiar warmth in his groin. The fight or flight reflex was giving away to another base instinct, arousal. He crossed the room. Nicole placed a hand on his shoulder and turned him around. She produced a blindfold and put it over his eyes.
"Just concentrate on how much fun this is."
Jacob felt Nicole learn into him from behind. She grabbed the bottom of his shirt. "Up!" She commanded. He put his arms up and Nicole whipped his shirt off over his head. Nicole's hands next found Jacob's belt buckle. In a few seconds his pants were undone, and she pulled them down. Next came his boxers. "Step out, please."
