"This one's on me." She heard in a deep, mellow voice. Turning towards it she saw a young man, tall and tanned with a sweet smile and sparkling green eyes.
"Thanks" she answered, accepting the fruity green cocktail he handed her with a smile. "It's very nice of you to buy me a drink when you don't even know me."
His only reply was another sweet, little smile as he took her hand and led her to an empty booth at the side of the dance floor. In her intoxicated state she didn't notice the thumbs up signal he gave to one of his mates left standing at the bar.
"So what's your name?" he asked, "Mine's Paul."
"Katie" she answered.
"Are you here alone?"
"No" she replied, suddenly distracted "I came with friends, they must be looking for me by now, I left them on the dance floor ages ago to go to the bathroom and get another drink."
"It wasn't a tall blond girl and a short redhead in a blue dress was it?" he accurately described her friends and she nodded an affirmative. "They were asking about you at the bar, I think they've left already. They thought you were gone."
"Oh no," Katie wailed "they have my bag with them. It has my phone and my wallet in it. I live miles away; I came in Laurie's car. How am I going to get home?" With a small sob, she dropped her head onto her arms resting on the table.
"It's okay" Paul soothed, moving around the U-shaped booth so he could put his arm around her. "I'll look after you tonight and you can get the bus home tomorrow morning."
"I can't go home with you, you're practically a stranger. It wouldn't be safe."
"I can see why you're worried" Paul answered "but the alternative is sleeping in a doorway when this place closes, and dressed as you are..." he paused, his gaze sweeping over her exposed body covered only by a brief, black, halter neck dress "you'd probably die from hypothermia before morning."
Logically, Katie knew that there had to be a better solution but the alcohol in her system had slowed down her thought process and going along with what Paul said seemed much more simple than finding a public payphone or arguing with the cloakroom attendants to return her coat without a ticket. With a small sigh she capitulated and stood up to go.
With an arm around her waist to steady her as she staggered towards the exit, Paul grinned at his mates at the bar. He'd bagged one of the best looking birds in the club and he'd only had to buy one drink. In his opinion the end always justified the means and he had no trouble taking advantage of Katie's vulnerability.
Collecting his own coat from the cloakroom, he wrapped it protectively around her. "Always the gentleman!" he thought to himself with a self-mocking grin, maneuvering his drunken catch down the street and into his apartment block.
The fresh air had sobered Katie up a little and her face had a healthy glow as he studied her in during the elevator ride up to his 12th storey apartment. Her hair was a non-descript brown, clipped discreetly back from her face. She had bright blue eyes and a very lush red mouth but it was her figure that made her so attractive. It was a perfect hourglass; wide hips curved in to a tiny waist and out again into bountiful 34E breasts which were supported only by the thin material of her dress. The dress displayed the sides of her tits and Paul longed to slide his cock into the deep cleavage exposed at the front.
Moving behind her as the elevator slid open on his floor; he guided her to his apartment with his hand on her ass. When she made no objection he began to knead her buttocks and smoothly opening his door, he pulled her inside and pressed her against the wall with his body.
"Hey, what are you doing?" she asked in an outraged voice but she got no reply as Paul took advantage of her open mouth to start kissing her, massaging her tongue with his own until she began to respond. Although Katie was nearly 21, she'd never been in a proper relationship and such intimate kissing was new to her. She acted instinctively to the desire awakening within her and she began to move her crotch against the hardness she could feel against it.
