This past year has been a stressful one for me. The divorce has hit me and my kids hard. They're still having a hard time understanding what happened and I don't know how to explain to a couple of toddlers why their dad isn't around all that much except for a weekend here and there. They just don't understand and I've been left to deal with it since he doesn't really talk to them about it. I leave work, pick them up from the sitters', get home, fix them and myself dinner, feed the dog, get them ready for bed, and then, and only then are things quieting down enough to relax a bit. I usually relax in front of the computer catching up on emails, bills, and such while the kids watch one of their favorite movies before bedtime. At least they're preschoolers and I don't have to worry about helping with homework yet. But I do work with them on their ABC's and simple arithmetic, making sure they'll be ready for kindergarten.
I know I need to start living again, but I'm just not ready to get involved with anyone again, just yet anyway. I don't want to sleep around and have meaningless dates either. Maybe a day at a spa? Nah....I need something more than that. Something to make me feel like a real woman again, tomake me feel desirable and sexy....all that at the same time without being involved with someone. I do remember, now that I think about it, a friend once asking me if I ever checked out Tantric massage. I told her I had never heard of it. Hmmmm...maybe I should check it out. I sign up for a session quickly before I can change my mind.
The sign on the door said "Open, come in". So, I let myself in, not sure what to expect. I've had massages before, but nothing like this, especially from a man I don't know. No man has touched my personal areas since my ex, and that's been a while. I'm nervous...hands shaking a little, but at the same time I feel my heart racing in such a way that I haven't felt in a long time. Just thinking about this has me feeling a little moist down there. Gosh, I'll be so embarrassed if he notices that right off. But I'm sure I'm not the first woman coming to him and having this type of massage for the first time.
As I walk in, the glow of candlelight filled the room and soft music embraced me.
"Feel free to undress, lie down on the table and relax to the music. I'll be with you in a minute," a calm voice calls from the next room.
As I lay back amidst rose petals dreaming and contemplating of what is to come, I can't help but thinking that voice wasn't what I expected. It was a somewhat low voice, but not all that manly. It had some femininity to it. Then I hear the voice again, coming closer. I turn my head towards the row of candles and am blown away by what I saw, or should I say, WHO I saw walking towards me. My heart rate raised to a new level when I saw this beautiful figure of a woman approaching me.
The candlelight gave me just enough light to see she was wearing a very sexy white laced teddy, and the soft glow rimming her long curly hair sent chills up and down my body. I never dreamed I'd ever have such an angelic looking creature standing over me and about to lay her hands on areas of my body that only men have reached. But thinking back, I must admit I have seen a few women in my time that I felt were very attractive in ways that I never thought I would. But I never thought anything of it. And now here I am. Am I going to be exploring my new sexuality? Or should I say is SHE going to help me explore my new sexuality? I know I still like men, but now I'm starting to feel a bit turned onny another woman?
"You look a little nervous...am I right?" she asked with a slight smile on her face.
"I guess I am a little. I had no idea I was going to see another woman for this. My friend gave me your name and number, but when she said your name was Van, I guess I just assumed...."
"That I was a man due to my name and somewhat huskier voice", she broke in. "I get that a lot. My name is actually Vanessa, but I go by Van at work. And just to clear the air, I am bi-sexual. I hope that doesn't bother you... And like you, I just assumed you knew I was a woman, so I went ahead and made the appointment with you. If you want to stop right now and cancel the appointment, I'll understand, but given the chance, I bet I can make you feel pretty special tonight."
