The next day after lunch, Jackie found herself hanging around in her back garden, waiting for him to arrive home from work. She had spent almost the entire morning do the mental equivalent of the children's game of 'she loves me, she loves me not' when they pull the petals off flowers as part of a decision making process. In this case it was 'I'm not going to meet him, I am going to meet him'.
Now, despite her bravado of the previous night, the power of Alan's fingers was proving too strong, her desire had won out and the decision was made and now she found herself waiting impatiently for him to appear.
She hung around, hanging out washing, looking through the window, doing anything to keep busy and yet, at the same time, where she could see the shed. She could not get him out of her mind; all she could think of was his hands on her body, his fingers inside her. The waiting was becoming unbearable.
After what seemed an age she saw him walk down the path to the shed. She ran to the door and then caught herself and stopped, smoothing herself down and taking a deep breath before casually stepping out into the garden. She wandered down and made a great show of slowly gathering in the washing, all the time watching the shed. Alan never appeared.
She took the washing indoors and came back out to wander around the back garden in as nonchalant a manner as she could manage. It was difficult to appear to be doing something and not simply waiting for him but she tried. She dead headed a couple of flowers before she realised that she had no idea what she was doing and that her mother would go mad if she destroyed the few blooms that had struggled to survive in what was euphemistically called 'the flower bed'.
Every so often she could hear him moving about in the shed, the clink of metal on metal, the creak of wood as the old floorboards protested under his weight. And then suddenly he was there, leaning over the fence and looking at her with that casual detachment that she found so unnerving. "Well?" he asked.
"Well what?"
"Are you coming round to see me or do I have to spend the afternoon pulling myself off without you?"
Jackie looked at little startled at his blunt, earthy approach but she guessed she had expecting nothing else; but even at just his words she could feel the now familiar urge between her legs, the instant knot of sexual excitement in her stomach. Without waiting for an answer he turned and went back into his shed leaving her standing there feeling, and probably looking, foolish.
Looking around to see if anyone was watching she walked out of her garden and round the back into his. The shed door stood open and she walked in. "Don't make yourself comfortable," he said sitting side saddle on his bike, smoking a cigarette, "we're not staying, we're going up to the house."
"The house?" she said, feeling suddenly, strangely uneasy. Alan's house was unfamiliar territory, unknown. The house was where Alan's parents lived, part of her everyday world; Alan's suggestion was bringing the familiar into the realm of her sexual fantasy, strangely forbidding and yet intoxicatingly adult.
"Everyone's out for the day. Thought we could have the place to ourselves. Bit of comfort." Jackie nodded and looked around. "'Course we could stay here if you wanted to," he said, "not much room to lie down though I dare say we could manage. Others have."
The reference to 'others' was not lost on Jackie, she looked at him sitting there smoking his cigarette, so cock sure of himself, so confident of his power over her. "What makes you so sure of me?" she asked at last "what makes you so sure that you can just call and I will come?"
"Because you will. I know women and know what they want, want they need."
"No you don't, you know some local women," she nodded towards his 'trophy' drawer, "some women from around here; you don't know all women."
Alan smiled. She watches him appraise her, his eyes travelling down her body, lingering on her breasts and her groin, making her stomach clench with that familiar visceral, sexual desire that only he could promote.
"Come here," he said and half turning he stubbed out his cigarette in the top of an old tin can he kept on the top of the dresser; he looked so smug, so confident that she would simply obey. He looked directly at her, "I said come here," his voice hardening; and she did, her legs moving of their own accord, drawn slowly and inexorably across the divide to stand obediently before him. He smiled and reached out and cupped the side of her face, his fingers curling around her neck.
"That's better." He shook her playfully by the neck before running his hand to slowly down her chest to lightly cup her breast. She could feel every movement of his fingers as they moulded themselves softly to her breast; he felt her nipple through the thin fabric of her t-shirt. She stood stock still as his hand moved over her breast, cupping and moulding her shape. He knew he could do as he pleased with her.
He slowly let his hand trail down over her stomach. Although there was no need she pulled in her tummy and he hooked his fingers into the waistband of her short skirt. With a sudden jerk on the waistband he pulled her closer until she was standing between his legs, facing him, chest to chest. His eyes held hers as his hand moved down the front of her skirt, touching, moulding themselves to her, moving down over her pubis, tracing the shape of her mound.
His hand continued down to the hem of her skirt and his fingers touched the naked skin of her thighs. She flinched at the contact but she still never moved. Spreading his fingers his hand began the slow, sensual, crawl up the front of her thighs, his wrist taking her skirt with it. His fingers found the material of her knickers and moving slowly to the front moulded themselves to the shape of her mound, gently kneading the material covered shape.
Jackie's breath caught in her throat slightly as his finger gently traced the length of her sex, his fingers moving lightly between her legs. Alan smiled at her reaction and he removed his hand, letting her skirt fall back. Jackie stepped away in confusion at the sudden abandonment, already missing the warmth of his hand between her legs.
"Women are women. Their needs and wants are the same whether they're from here or they're posh birds from the golf club. They all need the same thing."
