I'd been in Kansas City for a week on business. Originally, that was all the longer I was supposed to be in town. But as is often the case with my job, things didn't go as planned. What this meant to me was that I would be staying the weekend in Kansas City and several days into the next week as well. Needless to say that left me with a weekend of nowhere to go and nothing to do in a city I didn't know much about.
I ended up spending most of Friday night in a bookstore and an adjacent coffee shop. While it was enough to keep me occupied I figured there had to be more to do in Kansas City than drink coffee. The next morning I resigned myself to finding something a bit more interesting to do that night.
On my way out and about looking for lunch on a lazy Saturday afternoon I saw a billboard. I hadn't realized it before, but Kansas City is a gambling town and the billboard was advertising a nearby riverboat casino.
I'd never really been gambling before, but I'd heard my friends talk about blackjack so I at least new the basic rules and strategy, and at that moment a night at a riverboat casino seemed much more appealing than passing the time in a book store again.
I arrived at the casino around seven in the evening. Early enough that it wasn't crowded, but late enough that is wasn't empty. I spent the first half hour wandering around the place trying to get a feel for it. As I walked around, I found it hard to ignore this beautiful woman I saw playing blackjack. She was a bit older than me, but she had this air of sexiness that practically made me look at her.
She work a black suit, with a white blouse, a black button down jacket, and a skirt cut right above the knees. To top it all off she had on black stockings and 3 inch heels. She looked very classy, not to mention incredibly sexy.
I found myself walking by her blackjack table several times just to look at her. She had this magnetic quality that kind of drew me in, almost like she was teasing me and didn't even know it. On the third pass she must have noticed and she gave me a mysterious grin when she caught me eyeing her. She quickly turned away to whisper into the woman's ear sitting next to her.
Even after being embarrassed I couldn't help myself, seeing her perched on the stool in her black suit sent all kinds of visions racing through my head.
Finally I managed to come to my senses and decided I needed to do what I came here to do, relax, have a few drinks, and play some blackjack. I sat down at a table at the other end of the casino and tried to take my mind off the beautiful woman I'd just seen.
I'd been playing for about fifteen minutes when I saw her again. Apparently she changed tables and was now sitting directly across from me, about ten yards away at another blackjack table.
I continued to play and tried to focus on the game at hand, but in the back of my mind, I was pre-occupied with her. More than once she caught me looking and she always gave me the same sly grin.
I couldn't focus. The way she moved, the way she looked, the way she smiled, it was all driving me mad. And the thing was, she knew it too. She'd whisper to her friend and giggle as they looked across at me, well aware of the effect she was having on me.
She put off an air of innocence and sensuality, but it was obvious underneath she enjoyed flaunting the power of her sexuality. She seemed to know instinctively the slightest glance or movement of her body could have a profound influence on me.
My looking and her smiling back continued for about an hour as I tried to play blackjack. My money was quickly dwindling away as my eyes and mind focused on the beautiful lady across from me and the way she constantly teased me.
Finally, she and her friend got up from there table and walked away. My torture was over. Seeing her across the way caused a lapse in focus and now that she was gone I could go back to concentrating on the game. But being free from the torture didn't last long. I still couldn't get her out of my head and I found myself sitting at the table and looking around the casino trying to figure out exactly what happened to her. Fifteen minutes went by and I hadn't even caught a glimpse of her.
Then the next thing I know, an empty spot at the table opens up next to me and no sooner had the person left than the woman I'd been looking for sat down next to me and gave me her trademark sly grin as she did. Needless to say I lost focus on black jack immediately.
Sitting next to me, she was even sexier than I could have imagined. She had a hint of perfume on that drove me absolutely wild. She spent quite a bit of time shifting her body around in the seat as well. She caught me watching her as she did and her only response was to smile.
A few hands were played before she caught me looking at her again. This time though, instead of just smiling, she extended her hand to me.
"I'm Carol," she said.
"I'm Jason, it's nice to meet you."
She pulled her hand away but we kept eye contact for a fraction of a second longer.
"I saw you earlier, when you were playing at that table," I said as I pointed across the casino.
"I know," she said as she grinned and went back to playing blackjack.
Soon the teasing continued. She kept on fidgeting in her seat, making sure I noticed, running her hands over herself, arching her back, fluttering her eyes. She soon caught me looking again.
"I'm married, you know," she said without missing a beat. She kept right on playing, hardly acknowledging me or even what she just said.
Then she proceeded to take it a step further. Instead of just fidgeting in her seat, she started to brush against me. First with just her legs, and then her arms, and eventually her hands as well. I couldn't stop looking and she knew it. You could tell she got a kick out of driving me crazy.
Then the shoe ended and she stepped her teasing up a notch further as we watched the dealer shuffle the cards. This time she blatantly reached under the table and ever so slightly ran the back of her hand up and down my thigh. Her touch sent shivers throughout my entire body.
Then without warning, just as the dealer was done shuffling and the game was getting ready to start again, she leaned toward me and whispered in my ear.
"You know, I'm not wearing any panties."
She smiled slyly as she turned away and went straight to her cards. She flirted a bit as we continued playing. Finally the curiosity got the better of me.
"So where is your husband?" I asked.
"Oh, he's not here," she replied coyly.
"Oh," was all I could think of to say.
"This is a girl's night out, my husband is away for the weekend, and I'm staying at the hotel next door with my friend."
