I was barely awake when I felt Kelly roll out of bed. The alarm was a distant irritation, quickly silenced by an accurately aimed finger stabbing the shutoff button. She sighed as she trod sleepily out of the bedroom. I rolled on my side and pulled the blankets around me, curling myself up in them, smiling as I realized I could still sleep for several delicious hours.
My sleepy brain faded in and out of consciousness as my lady primped and prettied herself for work. I had just begun to nod off again for about the third time when I heard the phone ring. Kelly picked it up even before the second ring, presumably not wanting it to wake me. However, I was awake enough to realize that the phone ringing at that hour was not a usual thing, and it could mean a problem. Some deep, paranoid part of myself prodded me instantly awake, and I tumbled groggily out of bed and headed for the kitchen, assuming that Kelly would not have been able to answer the living room phone quite so quickly.
Shambling zombie-like toward the sound of my love's sweet voice, I saw Kelly indeed on the kitchen phone, her back to me, one hand holding the receiver to her ear, the other firmly planted on her hip. Amidst all the "uh-huh"s and "okay"s and "I see"s, I couldn't help but admire my beautiful lady. Apparently I'd slept through her morning hygiene and fashion ritual, for she was already completely dressed and ready to face the screaming adolescent creatures she tried valiantly to impart wisdom to five days a week.
Beneath glowing yellow hair that cascaded playfully down to the middle of her back, a soft, silky blouse flowed from her shoulders to her slim waist, where it was met by a billowy green skirt that tastefully fell to a couple of inches above the knee, showing off a good portion of her shapely legs. As my eyes traced a path from knees to ankles, I saw that those luscious legs were tightly encased in sheer, smoke-colored stockings which had slid themselves elegantly into a pair of black, backless, four inch slides. Those breathtaking stockings were so ultra sheer that they just barely imparted their smoky hue to my lady's radiant flesh, with a tantalizing seam that ran all the way up the back of her legs until it made its escape beneath her skirt.
As she spoke on the phone, Kelly slowly slipped first one foot, then the other, out of her high-heeled slides in an effort to comfort her feet as she talked. I noted with increasing interest the reinforced heels and toes of that mesmerizing hosiery, and the seams that joined them. I can't tell you how enjoyable it was just standing there admiring Kelly's legs, their sexiness enhanced by those intriguing stockings.
Entranced as I was, I failed to notice that Kelly's phone conversation had come to its conclusion. The only reason I became aware of this fact at all was because the titillating seam I'd been admiring suddenly disappeared from view, to be replaced by Kelly's always attractive knees and the smooth front of her calves.
I jolted my attention upward to my lady's pretty face, upon which was stamped a quizzical look. Realizing that I'd been caught staring at her legs, I found myself - for no apparent reason other than feeling like a kid caught raiding the cookie jar - becoming slightly embarrassed and trying to divert her attention from my ogling.
"What was that all about, hon?" I asked, thinking I'd escaped with my dignity.
"Well, apparently there's been a water pipe break at the school. Part of the main floor is flooded, and they've decided to close the school for today until it can be fixed," she replied, still looking at me oddly.
"Awww...poor baby," I kidded, "no work today. I'm sure you're crushed."
"Very funny," she said, "and here I am all dressed. I wish they'd called sooner, and I could've just rolled over and gone back to sleep."
"Well, let's..." I began... but then it came.
"Oh, and what's wrong with my legs?" she interrupted.
"Wrong with your legs?" I bumbled, realizing I'd been snagged, "Nothing. There's never anything wrong with your legs. They're as gorgeous as ever."
"Then why were you staring at them like that? I know you like my legs, but you were practically drooling over them. So, what's up?"
I knew I'd been caught, but I tried to make light of it, throw off suspicion....why, I don't know, "Well, I've just never seen you wear stockings like that. What are you trying to do to those poor schoolboys...drive them all insane?"
"What do you mean?" she sounded offended, "this is a very tasteful outfit."
"Well, yeah, Kel....but....I mean....those hot legs of yours are dangerous enough, but in those stockings? C'mon, you know teenage boys are nothing but walking hormones looking for a dumpoff point. If you so much as crossed your legs during class in those hose, several young lads would need CPR."
"Well, I'm flattered for that assessment, Mr. Protector of Misguided Youth. I know I usually wear more...tame....stockings, but I just felt it was time for a change. I saw these while I was shopping yesterday and I just had to have them. I wanted to live a little. I mean, they're not fishnets or anything. I don't think they look trampy."
"Whoa! Slow down, hon. They're lovely, no doubt about it. I was just worried for those poor hormone carriers, that's all."
