Ah, bookstores.
I love to read, the smell of books, and I really enjoy those big two-story bookstores that let you get lost among the stacks. I can spend hours in one of those stores just wandering the aisles looking for a lost treasure. This time my treasure wasn't Dickens or Emily Bronte. No, this time my treasure was you. Your hair was up in a sloppy ponytail, and you wore a white dress shirt and a charcoal colored skirt. Your stockings were dark, and you wore high heels. You were probably a secretary on lunch, or on your way home early. We passed each other once or twice, and we smiled politely when our paths crossed. I couldn't help feeling sorry for your poor feet.
On the second floor, at the far end of the references section, I got up the nerve to speak to you. You had your back to me and I said, "I'm sorry, but I'm sure your feet are killing you." You looked at me for a long moment and then down at your high heels. You nodded and then said, "Yeah, I'll probably have to soak them when I get home."
I figured it was the moment of truth. You would either say yes and everything would be fine, or you would say no and I'd never see you again. Either way, I couldn't resist the temptation. "You know, I could lend a hand. Just to get you the rest of the way home. They probably really hurt."
"Yeah," you say, a little nervously. You look around and step closer to the bookshelf. "I-I guess so."
I step closer and I whisper, "I'm not going to do anything you don't want, okay?" You nod and I drop to one knee in front of you. I can hear your breathing speed up as I gently brush the back of my hand over your thigh. Your stocking is silky smooth, and your muscle is tight underneath. I slide my hand lower, to the knee. My fingers rub the soft flesh behind the knee and you sigh. I look up and see you gripping the bookshelf with both hands. I kiss your thigh as my hand slides over your calf.
