The Neighbour Part 02.
I agonized over what to wear to Gary's house for dinner.
I considered two options that were on total different ends of the spectrum in terms of the type of outfit. The exact outfit wasn't really what was at issue; it was the impression that was being conveyed that was at issue.
'Should I wear something comfortable that can easily allow for a soft hand to be slipped under? Or should I wear a visually appealing micro-outfit that shows off every curve and expands slightly each time I inhale air?' I thought as I stood over the outfits on my bed.
I went with the sexually appealing outfit. Just make sure that the neighbours didn't see my choice, I covered up with a belted Burberry trench coat that my husband had bought for me on a Paris business trip.
Believe me, the betrayal was not lost on me: wearing a treasured gift from my husband to a liaison with a man who had half-fucked me a few hours earlier. A man that I was entirely sure would have more than just his tongue inside me in another few hours. I started getting that familiar warm urge and decided to head over to Gary's.
Gary greeted me at the door and took the frozen Sara Lee cake I brought over to share for dessert. I always stash them in the basement freezer just in case!
"I love these things! I never get to eat them because my wife hates having sweets in the house." Gary exclaimed as he closed the front door behind me. "Can I take your coat?"
I acquiesced and allowed him to slide behind me as I unbuttoned the coat and he proceeded to take it off my shoulders.
"Thanks." I said to break the sexually charged silence. My body responded pretty intensely as he stood so close to me. "Dinner smells delicious."
Gary held my outfit in his gaze for a few seconds longer. It was a simple velvety dress that hugged every curve of my body. The top of the dress was styled like a strapless corset that allowed me to wear no bra. My bare brown shoulders were shiny from the body butter I had put on. It was my favourite brand because my skin always looked like it was glistening in oil when I wore it- especially when I rubbed it all over my butt.
As if he were entranced, Gary snapped out of his daze and ushered me to the dining room in silence. He seemed focused on something that had come into his mind at that moment. My body felt like it was on fire. He poured me a glass of white wine that seemed much too full, and began to make small talk.
"We got married in Nova Scotia, then moved here to Ontario." I answered in response to another chit-chatty question from Gary. He leaned into me as I finished my 2
nd
glass of wine at the kitchen island. He swore that dinner was ready, but that he just want to warm it up in the oven to ensure that it was sizzling when he served it to me. I think that he was low-key stalling dinner to ensure that I would drink more. It also was not lost on me that I had been splay-legged on this very kitchen island that we now casually gathered at. It felt as though Gary was daring me to mention our earlier activities; despite my current avoidance of any sexual topic. I felt so reluctant to let my guard down, in the face of how obvious it was that I wanted attention from my handsome older white neighbour.
