This first chapter sets the stage with a slower build and is more sensual than sexual. It builds up towards the end and the next few chapters are more explicit and sexual. This is my first story, so I welcome any of your feedback!

"What can I get you?"
"Umm. A shot. Anything. No, make it a Tequila."
"Nervous?"
I nod as I reach for the shot. I'm shaking like leaf? The liquid burns my throat. I've only drank Tequila one other night and that was almost 12 years ago. I check my watch. No, he isn't late, I'm early. Really early. I'm trying to relax and appear confident, but it's hard. No one else ever made me feel this way. I hardly know him other than a long weekend and some recent texts and phone calls over the past month. But seeing him in person after all this time. That's a lot of pressure. What if he isn't attracted to me? What if I'm not attracted to him? It's been 12 years and a lot has changed.
I remember that evening clearly. I was bored and ready to bail. Kat, my best friend since elementary school was throwing a graduation party at the beach near her school and had invited me. I didn't know anyone else, but she promised there would be great guys here. But her college friends all seemed the same: over-developed egos with unoriginal cringe-worthy pickup lines. Maybe I was too harsh on the guys who came up to me that night, but I just wasn't that interested in any of them. Or what they wanted. In fact, only one person caught my eye that night, but he was too busy dancing to even notice me.
I was still nursing my first long island iced tea when I noticed him walk by. I looked right at him and shook out my long blonde hair with my left hand, but he didn't notice. Why would he. I wasn't dressed like the others. My boobs were smaller and my outfit was far less revealing. I quickly finished my drink and ordered another, slowly sipping as I watched his broad shoulders glide across the dance floor. He did a good job keeping his frame and appeared comfortable during every song. I could see why the girls kept coming up to him. His long, dark ruffled hair no doubt helped too. My fingers ran through his locks until I felt the tap.
"Jennifer. Jennifer?" Kat was standing in front of me. "Wake up, Cinderella."
I pulled my hand out of my hair and laughed, my cheeks getting warm. Kathy's eyes followed mine.
"Who is he, Kat?"
"Mark. But don't get any ideas, Jen. He'd eat you alive. He is way more experienced than you."
"Everyone is way more experienced than me." It was true. Sure, I had fun and had fooled around, but I hadn't found anyone worthwhile and I was about to graduate."
"Did you ever fool around with them?"
"I wish, given the stories I've heard."
"How good could it be that good? It's just sex."
Kat laughed. Oh Jen, if only you knew. There's sex and then there is...I watched her eyes widen as she mimicked a soft orgasm building up.
I was watching Kat walk sexily across the floor when I felt another tap. I'm still not sure which surprised me more. That he came up to me, that I said yes, or what I allowed to happen later. I stood up and finished my second drink. Mark steadied my slightly tipsy frame as his hand enveloped my small hand and made me feel as though I was tethered to a rock. When we got to the dance floor, I felt his other hand pressing against my back and his hip pressing into my left hip.
