A story of a divorceâ who encounters her ultimate lover in an androgenic stranger.
I had just turned forty, was divorced twice, and had a son entering his first year of college. I had convinced myself that I was going to be alone as I entered my golden years. Even though Iâm very attractive with an athletic body, firm breasts, and look thirty-something, I had lost my desire for men. I didnât have the energy to encounter yet another selfish âdickweedâ. After two failed marriages, I had concluded that all men cheated, lied, and cared only about their own sexual needs. I had lost interest in men.
During college I had a few bisexual experiences with close friends. I will admit that sex with a woman was a real turn on for me. Rarely could a man bring me to orgasm, however a womanâs touch always brought me multiple quakes of passion. There isnât anything better than kissing a woman. Without a doubt, my women lovers were the best. However, sex was just sex with women. I never had the desire to share my nail polish or hairspray with a lover, let alone an intimate relationship.
I believe a lover begins romancing you long before your panties come off. I used to love the way a gentleman treated me and enjoyed the strength of a man. I had a flirtatious ritual with men, but when it came to actually nesting with them, the buck stopped there. I always said that if I could take my first husband and merge him with a woman lover, I would have the perfect mate. It never seemed to work out that way though, so I fucked women and married men. I guess I always wanted that white picket fence, with the two kids and a dog. But, the American Dream turned out to be a nightmare for me. Now a mature and independent woman, I was happy with myself and didnât have a problem being alone.
My best friend Mary was recently divorced and was looking to spread her wings into the dating world once more. My war stories werenât convincing enough for her to let go of her dream of finding âMr. Rightâ. Often she invited me to singles bars but I found excuses not to go. One day she called and invited me to an event sponsored by her company. Mary was the head coordinator of a large public relations firm that entertained VIPâs in the hotel and restaurant industry. This event was important to her and I had run out of excuses.
âThe cream of the crop will be there,â she whined. âSo many handsome and rich men will be attending this event. Cindy, youâve got to go. You never know, Mr. Right just might pull up in a white Rolls and whisk you away!â she continued, trying her best to convince me.
I finally agreed knowing that at least the food and drinks would be fabulous and free.
I began my flirtatious ritual by choosing the right ensemble; black silk seamed stockings, satin garters, a black blouse with a deep, plunging neckline, my push-up bra for massive cleavage, and a long black skirt with the slit ending just above my stockingâs top so that if I reached a certain way, Iâd reveal the tops of the stockings and garters. I knew how effective this would be in teasing a man. I just loved getting a man all worked up only to say, âgoodbyeâ. Perhaps it was revenge that motivated me, however this retribution had sweet repercussions because I always ran home to my faithful vibrator. I had the game down and this kept me happy.
I agreed to meet Mary in the hotelâs lobby. After dropping off my car with the valet, I entered the hotel and saw Mary standing there dressed to the nines.
âOh my God, did you see that guy that pulled in ahead of you in the Benz? Donât stare but heâs over there now. Isnât he divine?â she whispered discreetly.
I looked over in the direction she nodded and noticed a very handsome and distinguished man standing by the elevator.
âYeah, heâs okay. Whereâs the party?â I asked.
âOn the penthouse level; thereâs a small ballroom,â Mary explained. âOh, damn! I hope thatâs where heâs going!â she added, sounding like an excited schoolgirl with a crush. âLetâs hurry and see if we can join him in the elevator!â
Mary then whisked me towards the waiting man. We made it to the elevator just in time; the doors opened and we piled in behind him. Mary stood next to him and during the ride she found a way to make conversation. She acted like a desperate divorcĂ© longing for male attention. I couldnât wait for the door to open and hit the bar. I needed a drink and obviously Maryâs evening had already begun.
The elevator door opened directly into a reception area filled with people. The black tie affair was lavish. Fountains of champagne were positioned around the room. I found the closest one and helped myself. Mary headed towards the bar with her new fling and began her party prowl. I scanned the room with flute in hand and checked out the elite crowd. There were women dripping in diamonds hanging on the arms of tuxedoed men. I noticed too that there were a lot of single women who no doubt had the same designs as Mary on meeting a millionaire. I quickly began to wonder why I had let Mary talk me into coming. But, I figured that I was already here so I might as well check out the food and indulge myself.
I approached a large buffet area with ice sculptures and a feast fit for a king. It was early and people were still more interested in drinking and chatting. The food was still neatly garnished with no crowds. I quickly prepared a plate with all my favorites: caviar, shrimp, smoked salmon and all the proper fixings. A waiter carrying a tray of fine, chilled vodkaâs came just in time.
âMmmmmmmâŠperfect,â I murmured. And with that, I popped some caviar into my mouth as the vodka washed it down my throat. I would never pay this kind of money to treat myself. âThis is exactly why I accepted this invitation from my friend, Mary,â I reminded myself. I was quite content until other hungry guests soon interrupted my sweet indulgence by hovering around the banquet area. I knew it was time to plan my exit. I peered through the crowds to find Mary but decided Iâd try to sneak out without her noticing me.
I stepped through the crowd and headed towards the elevators. As I approached I saw a manâŠno, a woman? I wasnât sure. A large stocky person dressed in a manâs tuxedo exited the elevator. At first the long hair convinced me that it was in fact a woman; however, the body movement was that of a man. Long hair was becoming more and more popular amongst men but, even so, this handsome creature had a soft and inviting face.
âWhat a beautiful man,â I thought to myself, although still unsure. I opted to stay and find out. The stranger walked into the crowd and headed for the bar. Discreetly, I followed. It was time for my ritual. If I could get close enough and speak to the stranger Iâd know if it was a man or a woman. Regardless, I had already made up my mind that I was going to seduce this marvelous specimen. I approached from behind and waited as this person ordered a drink. The stranger took a sip from a large brandy snifter and stood there looking out across the crowd. I wondered why the stranger was there, perhaps a restaurant or hotel owner? It didnât seem as if this person knew anyone.
It was time for me to make my move. I walked over to the bar and ordered a glass of champagne. I positioned myself as close to the stranger as possible. I reached into my handbag and pulled out a cigarette. Purposely, I pretended not to have a light and then turned to the stranger.
âExcuse meâŠ.â I began, but my request no sooner left my lips than the stranger pulled out a lighter. Through the glaring flame I saw the strangerâs face. The intensity in the strangerâs eyes left me breathless as I pulled a drag off my cigarette to light it.
âThank you,â I said as I exhaled politely in the other direction.
The stranger smiled. The face was soft yet rugged. I didnât notice a beard or shadow anywhere. The room was dimly lit, therefore I made no final conclusions, but I was leaning closer towards accepting that the stranger was in fact a woman. I had known dykes before yet none appealed to me. There was something very different about this handsome woman.
âMy name is Cindy. Cindy Monroe,â I introduced myself feeling somewhat nervous. âI came with a friend of mine, Mary, sheâs the coordinator.â I admit that I was intrigued by the stranger and hoped to strike up a conversation.
The stranger pulled a small cigar from the tuxedo jacket, lit it, took a drag, and a sip of the brandy. She then looked at me, smiled and said, âCindy, itâs nice to meet you. My name is Max. Max Dugan. Iâve met your friend Mary.â
