I want to give a special thank you to my muse, my inspiration, my co-collaborator, Aruna! She is the source of the spark (and the special twist) This will be a series, and hopefully the moderators help me get that set up right.
There are various elements to this: Fetish, Lesbian, Erotic Couplings, a little BDSM, etc., however I think unquestionably it is first and foremost a Fetish story. I hope you enjoy, and I welcome constructive criticism.
Chapter 4
As he joined us on the patio area, I noticed that P had apparently taken a quick shower. His hair was still wet but slickly brushed and he had changed clothes. He was now in blue shorts and a white button-up short sleeved shirt. It was white, and what I first missed but later figured out were penguins were all over it. The penguins were wearing beach attire.
Resigned to the fact that I wouldn't be able to bathe before I sat down to dinner, I rejoined them, and we all sat at the table. There were plates of grilled chicken breast, bowls of fruit and vegetables, and a plate stacked with pita bread. There were sauces and spices, and I planned to just watch Kareena for tips of how they put all this together to eat.
At each seat was a tall glass of an iced yellow beverage. P and Kareena drank deeply from theirs, and it looked so refreshing I couldn't resist doing the same. I was immediately refreshed by the mixture of pineapple and some other fruit juices, and it wasn't until I swallowed it that I even registered that there was alcohol in it.
I recognized very quickly that this happy concoction could be a very, very dangerous Kryptonite for me. It was wonderfully refreshing, especially after a long, hot day of work in the Florida summer heat. I realized that it wouldn't take too much alcohol for me to feel the effects.
As we ate, Kareena gently coaxed me into talking about myself. I found her to be a very enticing hostess, and it wasn't long before I was talking about my personal life, my past, my current relationship with Matt, and, with a little more coaxing, my hot relationship with Mario.
When I mentioned that the relationship with Mario was "very physical," I was on my third "Go Juice," as Kareena called them. That's probably why the quick glance between husband and wife didn't really register with me, even though I did see it. Kareena gently pushed a little on this topic.
"So, if that relationship was 'very physical,'" she asked, "how would you describe your current relationship with Mike?" she asked.
I took another drink, trying to work through the light haze of the alcohol and the physical exhaustion, which was kicking in. "Matt," I said, indirectly correcting her about his name, "Matt is...safe. He's a nice guy. He likes to make me happy. He's not..." I struggled for a word that didn't demean him - or divulge my real feelings - "...demanding." I'm not sure if I concealed the twinge of disappointment that came just voicing that reality. Later, I figured out that I didn't hide it well at all.
"Oh," responded Kareena. He sounds...safe," she used my words, but it sounded different coming from her. It seemed to rhyme with "boring" when she said it. "But don't you miss that...physical...relationship, like you had with Mario?" she said. Her smile was so gorgeous that, even though I knew she was teasing me, I couldn't help but smile back.
"Uh...yeah...that. Um, yeah, I miss it. Sometimes...I miss it a lot," I confessed.
"That's normal, Sarah. A man should be a man," she said, looking lovingly over at her husband. "He should be strong when he needs to be strong, brave when he needs to be brave, and," she took another drink from her own glass before continuing, "demanding when he needs to be demanding. Men should be men, not women in boxers."
I almost gasped at this last comment. I had almost voiced the exact same thing during an argument with Matt a month ago. I wanted him to be decisive about something; heck, I wanted him to be decisive about anything, but he was just...namby-pamby, as my paternal grandfather used to say. The argument wasn't about sex, but by now, my hunger for a strong hand in the bedroom was beginning to gnaw at my peace of mind.
Kareena continued. "When a man is a man, it allows his woman to be a woman. Or," she added mischievously, "his women to be women." She smiled at P, then at me. "A woman should feel safe in his care, but also be excited and even a little scared by his strength. No, not scared, more like...awed."
This beautiful, brilliant, wealthy business woman's description of what was very obviously the reality of her relationship with her own husband was...stirring. As in, stirring up my libido. I hadn't had even a shade of the kind of relationship she described since Marco, and I was coming to realize just how much I missed it. Matt wasn't exciting by any means, but in contrast to this he seemed absolutely bland. Tasteless.
"Wow," was my response, eventually. "That's...that just sounds so...right," I confessed. Then something clicked, a little delayed by the alcohol and the power of her words. "Did you say, 'his women to be women?'" I asked.
Kareena had a bit of extra courage from her glass, then there was that mysterious smile. "Did I say that? Hmm." That was all the answer I got. At that, she got up, taking our plates inside to the kitchen, refusing my offer to help. "No, sit. Enjoy the company. I'll be back in a few."
The sun was setting, and the deck area where we were sitting faced towards the west. In spite of the weather of the last few days, it was a beautiful sight. I stood and stepped over to the railing, resting my hands on it and feeling the breeze in my face. After the heat of the day, it was refreshing.
I heard music begin to play, a light jazz, and turned to see P operating a remote control, slowly boosting the volume until it was clearly audible, but not obnoxious. Satisfied with it, he put the remote back on the table where we had been dining, then stepped over to me.
"Sarah, would you dance with me?" he asked, putting out his hand. "Please?" he added, smiling. He had a confidence that was absolutely magnetic, and I almost automatically obliged him.
