Sofia checked her watch for the thousandth time. Two minutes till closing. She wasn’t sure if her plan was the smart thing to do, but somehow she knew she had to at least give it a shot. Idly she fiddled with her ponytail and leaned casually on the counter. She was dressed in the usual work uniform pullover and khaki pants, same as him. She didn’t quite dislike the outfit but there were things she’d rather wear. If things went according to plan, both of them would be out of their uniforms quite soon.
She stole a glance at him as he wandered the floor, talking to a customer as he sorted this and organized that. Darryl wasn’t a supermodel per se, but he wasn’t bad either. She assumed as much anyway. Unlike most women she knew, Sofia never really thought of men sexually. It wasn’t because of feminism or some sort of hidden hatred of men. When she had first hit puberty she found herself attracted to the girls as well as the boys, though more of the former than the latter. As she experimented with her girl friends her homosexual urges grew as her heterosexual urges faded, the latter eventually vanishing entirely. Until recently, at least.
She had become increasingly curious about the other half, about what it might be like to try it with a man instead of a woman for once. Aside from a few curious investigations on the internet she had never even seen a man naked. She smiled to herself at how her girlfriend had been open to the idea and had even helped her pick out a how and a when and a who. They both agreed that not only was Darryl a pretty nice guy, but he wasn’t likely to sue for sexual harassment. He also seemed as though he would be quite receptive to the idea. More than once she had caught him staring at her tush or her cleavage, though he always pretended he wasn’t looking.
An interrogative tugged at the corner of her attentions. “Wha?”
“It’s after ten. Should I go ahead and close up?”
“Oh right yeah.” Swiftly they closed things down and shut things off and lowered the big security grate at the front of the store. Nobody would bother them for a good 12 hours. Plenty of time. They entered the back office, where Darryl would collect his backpack and then head on home unless she interrupted him.
He stopped walking as she flicked the light off and closed the door, the room now bearing a soft blue glow from the small amount of light filtering in from the one small window. Tentatively she stepped closer to him and placed her hands on his shoulders, looking into his eyes. No she couldn’t look into those eyes. As she turned away his hands found the small of her back. His touch was light but suspicious. He didn’t know what to make of the situation. Truthfully, neither did she.
Cautiously she pulled herself against him, resting her head on his shoulder. In response his embrace tightened around her in a gentle hug. It felt sort of like when she and Kate danced, but different somehow. She also became keenly aware of his scent. It was definitely very different from any girl’s scent, but she didn’t find it repulsive as she had thought she would. She caught herself closing her eyes and taking it in, as one would smell a flower.
The pleasant friction on her breasts made her smile as they held each other. He seemed to be enjoying the friction as well; their khaki pants did little to hide his erection with their bodies so close together. He shuffled back a bit but she stayed with him, holding onto him tightly and burying her face in that little spot between neck and shoulder. The scent was starting to become just a little addictive. Goosebumps started to form on his neck, more so when her lips accidentally brushed against the skin there. She even felt her own skin doing the same from his warm breath on her neck.
She mustered her courage and looked into his eyes again. Her mouth went dry. If she didn’t do something soon he might leave. He looked confused and a little worried. She could feel his heart beating faster in his chest. “Sofia…” His voice was so quiet she almost didn’t hear him. “Are you… ok?”
She almost chuckled to herself. He thought she just wanted to be comforted. She swallowed nervously at what she was about to say. “I’ve never… been with a man before Darryl and… and I want to try it… with you.” Understandably, he was speechless. Those eyes. His eyes, in this place, at this time, were making her knees wobble. She closed her eyes to try to stay focused, mentally taking the step past the point of no return as she whispered quietly, “Kiss me.”
His lips had a firm texture to them, unusual but not unpleasant. His arms enclosed around her a little more snugly for just a moment before relaxing, almost as an afterthought. He seemed hesitant to overdo it. She began to open her lips wider as they kissed, her usual signal to Kate that she was ready for her tongue. Darryl caught on quickly and began to slowly flick her tongue with his. His fingertips traced up and down her spine, giving her a pleasant sensation that brought a smile to her lips. It was then that she realized she had been holding her breath. She had to wonder if it was that or him that was making her feel light-headed right then. Either way, she held onto him tighter and he held her tighter in response.
