Saturdays with Bob out of town always made Billie's restlessness worse, and lately it had been almost unbearable at any time. She couldn't understand it. Things really couldn't be better. Bob was a wonderful husband; they had many things in common. Oh sure, their sex life could be better, but who's couldn't? And besides, sex was only a minor part of marriage...so what if Bob could stand to be a little more imaginative, a little more...well...a little more forceful? She shook herself. She had to stop thinking this way. It just increased the restless feeling. It was sex, she knew that, but felt ashamed to admit it, even to herself. Somehow, she thought, she had to get up the nerve to talk to Bob about it. It was surely as much her fault as his, but he seemed perfectly happy. If he was unaware of the problem, there was no way she could solve it by herself.
Oh to hell with it! She got up from the breakfast table and hurried into the bedroom. She had to get out of this empty house, had to see people, someone...anyone. She dressed hurriedly, putting on a racer back, blue tank sweater with a white, stretch twill mini-skirt. She didn't wear a bra, choosing only a tiny pair of bikini panties for her underclothes; she even decided against any hose, feeling deliciously wicked as she backed the car out of the garage. With no real goal in mind, just driving, she headed toward the beach on Santa Monica Boulevard, and then turned north toward Malibu. When she got there she didn't stop, but turned back inland. At about one o'clock she was in the Hollywood Hills, driving aimlessly. She passed a sign announcing the opening of a new home development and on impulse she decided to tour the models.
She stopped in the sales office for directions and a map, and then drove into the development. The first model was a three bedroom home and a tall, well-built black man was just coming out as she reached the door. He smiled at her and stepped back, holding the door for her. She returned the smile and thanked him.
A young couple was standing in the living room talking, so Billie moved quickly into the kitchen. She glanced around for a few moments, and then wandered through a too-formal dining room and back into the living room. The young couple was gone, but the black man had returned. He was an older man, probably around fifty she decided. He was staring at her, not smiling now. She stared back, her body suddenly alive.
"A very nice house, don't you think?" he said.
"Yes, very beautiful."
She remained standing in the doorway leading to the dining room, her eyes following him as he moved around the room. She was surprised to find herself trembling.
"You must see the bedrooms," He said, "especially the master bedroom."
Their eyes met as he spoke and she felt as though he had pierced her brain. His gaze was like a physical grip, an insistent caress that sent her heart pounding in her breast. When his eyes released her, he nodded toward the hallway leading, she assumed, to the bedrooms. She turned without speaking and walked down the hall, tiny pricks of heat dancing over her body. The master bedroom was at the end of the hall, a large open room, but with a slanting open-beam ceiling that gave it a rustic, cozy look. The raised king-sized bed seemed like a throne, or a stage. She moved across the room, acutely aware of the wetness of her crotch. Her temples throbbed painfully and she could hear the blood rushing in her veins.
She heard him coming down the hall and she moved as far away from the door as she could. When he came in, she was standing before the large picture window, looking out it at the city below. The sun was shining directly into the window and she suddenly realized that he would be able to see through her dress, to see her body silhouetted in the light. It was too late to do anything about it now. Trembling violently, she sensed him move up behind her. A soft moan escaped her at his touch. He clasped her hips and pushed himself against her. She shivered, whimpering as he moved his hands up her sides, under her sweater. His touch seared her flesh, igniting flames that burned into her senses destroying all resistance before it was born. Helpless beneath his caress, she cried out in passion as he cupped her naked breasts in his hands. Weak, dizzy with lust, she sagged weakly back into his arms, feeling his erection pressing into her buttocks.
"Please," she moaned, forcing the word through her passion clogged throat.
"Get on the bed," he hissed.
