It had been a strange week. A week where my sexual temperature hadn't dropped below boiling. Where I hadn't, for the first time in months, had any physical sex (with a woman). Where I'd done one of my most outrageous displays in public. Where I'd set up a scenario where I could seduce a nineteen-year-old boy. A boy who, from his mother's description was probably a virgin.
He was due shortly. I was dressed and ready. A number of friends have asked how I was proposing to dress. Well, not in fishnets and basque! His mother had described a timid, nerdish boy and I didn't want him to think I was enacting Halloween a few days late.
I had decided on a schoolma'am look. A wide knee-length skirt and a blouse. The blouse, unbuttoned, showed cleavage. Under the skirt would be my signature stockings, (Ha. Sounds like Great British Bake Off-signature bake!) suspenders of course, and knickers. I debated with myself about the knickers but decided to go with them. If he was as innocent as I thought, flashing a naked pussy might be too much. I didn't want him coming in his trousers!
A bra too. One that threatened to peek out of my blouse.
I was ready. I'd suggested 3.00 pm.
For those of you wondering why he was coming, the story is too involved to tell here.
3.00 pm arrived. He didn't.
3.10 pm arrived and left. God, was I going to be stood up? I'm not sure my libido could cope with another disappointment this week.
At 3.15 pm my phone pinged. His mother.
Sorry running late. Be with you in 5.
This was good and bad news. It meant he was coming. But his mother bringing him was a disaster. They only lived a street away, an easy walk, certainly for a nineteen-year-old. If he decided to take the books I'd promised him, I'd said I'd run him back.
There was nothing I could do about it, though. No halfway sensible excuse I could think of to stop his mother from coming in. "Sorry can't let you in. I'm planning to seduce your son." Didn't quite work.
Three minutes later (I was clock watching. My need was in the desperate to life-threatening zone) the bell rang. I opened the door wondering what awaited. A blind date!
I've quite a good reputation for summing people up at first meetings, but rarely get it right when I'm imagining people before meeting them. John I'd imagined as a tall, gangly boy, awkward in his movements, round John Lennon glasses, a stammer, and shy in the extreme. There he stood.
For once in my life, I'd got it right. Even down to the glasses. What I've just described stood on my doorstep. Hands in pockets looking at his feet mumbling something that sounded like. "Hi. I'm John. I've come to collect some books. Sorry I'm late."
I couldn't be sure that's what he'd said as his lips didn't appear to move. Perhaps he was an apprentice ventriloquist.
The plus was - no sign of his mother, just a car disappearing up the road. So my seduction was on.
I'd never done this before, not really. This was a silly place to start. A subject that at first glance was not of the everyday world. I should have found a local youth wandering around the town centre to practice on. Now there's a thought!
I invited him in. No response.
"I've put some of the books in the lounge. If you're interested, I'll get the others out, but didn't want to bother if they are of no use to you."
"Yeah." Mm. I had casually thought that if my seduction fell on stony ground it might be interesting chatting with a current student doing this subject. Given his response, I might get more out of the hedgehog that inhabited my garden.
I'd put three books on the coffee table in front of the sofa and directed him to it. I sat in an armchair opposite.
I had planned to commence there, letting my legs drift apart, but decided to postpone it. I needed him to loosen up. I got the impression that if I'd stripped naked in front of him at that moment, I'd have failed to get a reaction. He started to look at the books. I saw a glimmer of interest in his eyes. He checked the edition, the year of publication, and read the opening page of the first. I knew the book by heart even twenty-odd years after having closed it for the last time. It was the bible on the subject. Written eons ago, but still relevant.
A spark of life emanated from the sofa opposite. "That's cool. My tutor's been banging on about this. It's been out of print since the dark ages and I couldn't find a copy anywhere. Thanks."
The dark ages! I bought that new!
"That's good, you're welcome to it. It was our bible. I'm surprised it's out of print."
"it's still available in revised editions but he reckons it's been rewritten and not so clear in its theory on..."
I won't bore you with the next ten minutes. He clearly felt on safe ground talking technicalities and I talked to him as an equal. That's not strictly correct, as he was clearly a lot more intelligent and on top of this subject than I was. Anyway back to...
"Did you know there was a secondary volume?" I asked. "Goes into one or two ideas in more depth."
"Yeah, but can't find that either."
"Look no further, I'm sure I've got a copy."
"Yeah? Cool." His face was animated. Behind the geekiness, behind the John Lennon glasses, with the smile on his face, he was reasonably good looking. Not the first you'd pick in those 'number them in order' photos, but certainly not the last.
Time to move to more pressing matters. Satisfying my urges.
"I've a suitcase full of textbooks in the attic. It's awkward to get down on my own. Perhaps you'd give me a hand." (With me guys?)
