(Ellie and Tom met each other on a swingers website. After emailing each other a few times and exchanging photographs they began to write this story together. They are now in constant contact by email and telephone but have yet to actually meet each other. Should be fun when they do!)
He sat in the darkened kitchen feeling somewhat nervous. A few stray rays of sunlight filtered through the gap in the curtains above the kitchen sink and highlighted her face as she stood holding the kettle under the spurting tap. Tea, the greatest resource to create time and space for people to actually become somewhat comfortable in each others company.
He met her by chance in the supermarket. He was returning home from Cork where he had been visiting some friends. Passing through the quiet north Cork town, he decided to stop to buy some food as he had not been shopping for a few days. He saw her halfway down the narrow aisle. She was quite small but had a lovely sexy figure. Mmmm, he thought, very sexy indeed! He moved toward her and watched her crouch down to get something from one of the lower shelves. He drew up beside her and stopped. He was surprised at how horny he felt standing so close to her and was very aware that her head was very close to his cock which was starting to swell pleasurably. Becoming extremely embarrassed, he glanced all around and noticed the eggs in the upper shelf. He reached over her and grabbed a box of eggs. She was still bent over looking for baking soda or some such item that women always seemed to know about. Perfect, he thought, as he sidled in beside her. He could feel his cock getting slightly harder and the feeling excited him. He opened the pack to check the eggs and to prolong the warm feeling coursing through him.
"Oh bluddy 'ell" he heard her mutter.
Glancing down, he watched her struggle to replace a split bag of flour which was spilling slowly around his feet. He danced back out of the way and careered into another woman with a trolley that was full to overflowing. He was hurled sideways into the shelves and the eggs went flying into the air, spun slowly in the direction of the nice blond haired lady with the soft English accent who was looking at him with amazement. The eggs began their decent, as eggs will do, and began to crash land around her, splattering her shoes, legs and skirt with yolk and egg white.
"Oh my god, Are you okay?" he asked her.
She looked at the mess all around her and he thought she might cry. He reached out his hand to assist her to her feet as a floor manager came scurrying along to investigate.
"I am terribly sorry" he said and suddenly smiled at her, "at least none of them landed on your head eh?"
She didn't look at all pleased.
"Can I offer you a cup of coffee or help you in any way?" he asked her, more sheepishly this time.
"Ellie," a pretty woman and a stern voice called out. "Ellie, are you alright?" "What is that man doing to you?" A pretty woman with raven black hair was striding toward them looking very businesslike and cross.
"Oh hi Susan. It was just an accident. I'm fine really" she replied. "I spilled some flour and he just stepped out of the way and was nearly run over by Vivienne. He then threw all his eggs at me out of spite!" she grinned at me.
"Men!" Susan muttered, glaring at him. "Is Jim with you?" she asked.
"No, he is at that tractor fair in the midlands. You know that!" she said with some emphasis.
"I know," Susan replied, her face colouring a little. "I just wanted this man to know you are married."
"Susan!" Ellie exclaimed, looking at her friend in amazement.
"Yea, sorry Ellie. I just wanted to make sure you were all right. I'll see you later ok?"
She smiled again and turned and walked away.
Tom watched her swing her nice ass as she walked away.
'Nice ass' he said without realising.
'I'll tell her you think so' said Ellie with a grin as she watched him blush with embarrassment.
'Eh, sorry,' he mumbled. 'Listen, can I get you a coffee or something. I feel awful about what happened.'
'No, not at all' she replied, 'I'm fine. I'll just get these few things and get a taxi home.'
'Listen Ellie. May I call you Ellie?' he asked.
She smiled. She had a wonderful smile. Her face became radiant and it was a pleasure to be near her. He felt a thrill shoot up his spine as he watched her.
'It is my name,' she said.
'Well Ellie, I will bring you home. It's the least I can do.'
Seeing the hesitation on her face he took her hand in his and said 'I want to bring you home. I'm Tom. I think we have met before, although never face to face. I stopped here today in the vague hope that I would run into you and now here we are.' He squeezed her hand gently.
'What?' she said, incredulously. 'What are you talking about?' She looked a little frightened and very taken aback.
Tom's hopes faded as he watched her. 'Shit,' he thought, 'wrong woman'.
'I'm very sorry,' he said. 'I heard your name and just assumed you were the woman I had met on the inter em ah net,' he faltered as he spoke for fear she would think him a total pervert.
Ellie just looked at him.
'I need to go home,' she said. 'C'mon, just leave all that stuff and drive me home please.' She turned and walked to the exit.
He lowered his basket and left it on the floor beside the mess made with the eggs and flour and followed her outside.
He directed her to his car in the carpark and they drove along the narrow winding road in almost total silence, the exception being the occasional instruction regarding what turn to take. They drew up outside a nice new bungalow. It was neat and well maintained with flowers all around and hanging baskets along the eaves at the front beside the front door.
She got out of the car and left her door open. She made her way into the house and left the front door open also. He sat there totally bewildered, then, galvanising himself, he got out, closed both his and the passenger doors and headed to the front door to apologise and to say goodbye. He stood in the darkened hallway then slowly entered. Calling her name softly, he entered the darkened kitchen. She was standing facing the cooker, holding herself, seeming lost in thought.
He pulled out a chair quietly and slowly sat down, watching her. She moved to the sink and, picking up the kettle, began to fill it.
'Would you like a cup of tea?' she asked, not looking at him.
'That would be nice,' he replied, standing slowly.
He walked to her and placed his hands on her shoulders.
'It is you isn't it? He asked, rubbing his hands up and down the outside of her upper arms in a gentle caressing motion.
'Yes,' she replied simply, leaning back into him. 'it's me alright,' she sighed.
Slowly, his arms folded around her and he bent and kissed the top of her head.
'Thank God,' he murmured. 'I thought I'd never find you!'
He place one hand over her breast. It felt soft and yielding, despite the hardness of the fabric of her bra under her silky blouse. Slowly, gently, he squeezed her breast and tilted her head to one side and kissed her soft white neck. He nuzzled into her, breathing in the fragrances from her perfume and her shampoo. His other hand found her other breast but just as he was starting to caress her, she pulled away.
'Wait! Please wait a moment. We need to talk. I mean this...this is all so unexpected. I can't! I can't just do...this!'
He held her at arms length and looked into her eyes and what he saw there made him reach out to her. He held her face cupped between his two large hands and kissed her. She began to protest but very quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and they were locked in an embrace, the sensuality of which he had never experienced before in his life.
