When it comes to Amelia “Melli” Black, I still am not convinced whether I was predator or prey.
We met on one of my busiest mornings. I, the pending mentor, had agreed to meet this aspiring journalist who came highly recommended because of superior intelligence demonstrated by a near peerless grade point average, and an acumen for the newspaper business that pointed to a promising career.
When a professor from my alma mater recommended this student to shadow me, following me around on my beat as a reporter for the largest paper in this East Coast city, my response was automatic.
“Sure,” I said. “I’m covering a City Council meeting Monday morning. Have – what’s his name? Melli Black? Have him meet me outside council chambers around 10.”
Weekend activities washed away any memory of the meeting I’d arranged. At about 10:20 on Monday I was among the pack of journalists that burst from the council room, trailing the mayor down the corridor and fawning like bees to honey. His budget just got passed and we wanted to know if he would gloat.
I wouldn’t have noticed Melli if I had not had to squeeze past those fabulous breasts. First, the back of my right hand grazed the outside of her left tit. Passive-aggressive horn dog that I am, I immediately took advantage of the situation as she pressed herself against the wall to avoid the media pack on a feeding frenzy.
My interest turned from the mayor to surreptitiously copping a feel. My backhand, my wrist, and then most of my forearm raked across the front of her chest. Her posture against the wall made her stand straighter and taller than her 5-foot5-inch height. Her breasts did not, could not give.
In that brief, intimate instant, I was imagining her nipples awakening like little flowers when she tugged my arm.
Time stopped. My first thought was of a salacious headline, like: “Black Reporter Molests White Coed at City Hall!” I came out of my lapse when I faintly heard my name.
“Mr. O’Neal?”
I blinked toward the mayor leading the pack away, then back at Melli.
“Mr. O’Neal, I’m Melli, um, Amelia Black.”
I was struck first by her beauty. Her face is round, her smile perfectly imperfect, and dark blonde hair flowing to her shoulder blades.
The name suddenly connected.
“Melli? Melli, I’m sorry. I forgot,” I said, truly sympathetic, and still a little embarrassed. Maybe she hadn’t noticed that some older, tall black man had just mauled her boobs in public, but I wasn’t taking any chances. I let my instinct take over.
With a quick glance at the plentiful cleavage revealed by her snug V-neck T-shirt, I gave her a hug. It was quick. We probably looked awkward, me being nearly a foot taller. For a moment, though, those enormous mounds were pressed against my … well, against my stomach. To me, I was an alumnus just making a protégé feel welcome.
“So, you’re Melli,” I said, stepping back at arm’s length. She nodded and hit me with a sly grin. I must not have been the first person to make that mistake.
“You’ll have to forgive me for sounding like a bigot, but I thought Ellen was sending a black guy,” I said. I think I winced at my own prejudice.
“Where did a pretty girl, I mean beautiful young woman …” I stopped before I suffocated on my foot. Melli just smiled more coyly.
Melli was full figured, top to bottom. I sensed I was at least twice her age. She looked irresistible in those tight-fitting jeans. There seemed to be no fat in her thickness.
Her waist was proportionally smaller than her tits and hips. I wondered whether her pussy was shaved or furry. I dreamed, for a millisecond, that she would moan as I slurped her juices. Damn! Look at that. Her nipples are hard.
Guiltily I thought that she couldn’t be any older than my children.
When I came to my senses, I was busted for the second time in the past 60 seconds. I’m sure I would have blushed had my skin been lighter.
“I thought you’d stood me up, Mr. O’Neal,” she said. I felt more at ease. Her flirtatious tone meant I already was forgiven for the insults.
“Am I in your way? You seem kinda busy,” she asked. She seemed so innocent.
I glanced at the mayor down the hall, hovering at his office door like a diva bee as he waved off the hungry reporters surrounding him. I had all I needed. My attention returned to Melli. My mind turned to my desire to wrap those tender thighs around my ears.
Melli wouldn’t be the first woman I’d ever ogled and fucked in my mind. She wasn’t even the first that day. It was a favorite pastime of mine, a harmlessly placebo-like treatment for my boring sex life at home.
I admit that my wife and I have had a few great years of marriage. That’s not bad for a couple that wed a quarter-century ago. It’s my own fault that I fell for a woman who transforms into a refrigerator in bed.
I looked past Melli’s her modesty. She probably didn’t really care that she’d interrupted my work. I hustled her off toward the elevator. A deadline was bearing down on me.
On the ride down, Melli and I made small talk. We came to an understanding that, since she planned to be in the business, if we would one day possibly be colleagues, she should use my first name, Jay. I already called her, Melli. It was a nickname she said was coined by her toddler nephew who could not pronounce her given name, Amelia.
I pretended not to notice as she checked me out on the elevator. My wine colored silk big shirt draped over the pleats in my black gabardine slacks just where the impression of my flaccid but partially engorged member dangled along my leg.
Melli had to break her gaze to exit the elevator before me, giving me a chance to check out that plump butt sashaying in front of me.
Her ring caught my eye. This delicious college girl was married, I was thinking. I was committed to find out how happy she was in her relationship.
