After traveling and living interstate for four years it was going to be good to meet up again. Just a couple of mates catching up for a beer, or maybe three. Neither of us were regular heavy drinkers but with a couple of long heavy sessions discussing the world, the scene and local gossip we usually ended up in some way skirting around the mutual attraction that sometimes still raised its head.
'M' and I had had our moments, intense moments that had made their mark on both of us. I think both of us knew that given the right circumstances we could easily allow that attraction to pull us back into those exciting dark places our shared kinks had previously taken us. Meeting up therefore after a long hiatus had a certain frisson to it, an edge, a suggestion barely acknowledged that anything could and probably would happen.
You can then understand why I felt the slight tug of annoyance and disappointment when a text from 'M' flashed up on my phone.
"Bringing along a workmate. I'll see you when I get there."
Now given that 'M' works in an environment that tends to attract some very intriguing people I was fairly sure that I'd probably enjoy the company of this stranger. But the disappointment still stung. I resigned myself however to the inevitability of reality and resolved to make do with the prospect of good beer and company instead of that which my active imagination had envisaged. Leaving I threw comfortably worn in leather around my shoulders and headed off to the bar.
Due to the possibility of the over consumption of intoxicating beverages the Triumph was staying home tonight but as I walked through the garage I couldn't help but run my fingers along the seat as I left. The Bonneville and I had a long past and two divorces and a serious prang had not yet managed to divide us. This was a motorised love affair for the ages. Rebuilding the '74 Trumpy was the cement to the bond between 'M' and I. Hours spent head down over bike parts, and occasionally held down, bent over the pillion seat, had created a grease encrusted bond that ensured we could pick up any conversation where it had left off, no matter how long had passed between meetings.
The bar was quiet when I first entered, happy hour wasn't for a while yet and it was just starting to build up towards that craziness. Selecting a stool in the darkest corner of the bar was a natural choice for me. I like to keep things private but 'M' likes to push my boundaries, and takes pleasure from dragging me into the centre of things. She maintains it's good for me and is always trying to drag me from my comfort zone in the shadows.
'M' likes to shake things up, and a lean fit six foot butch dyke doing pretty much anything she wants in the middle of a straight, if tolerant, beer bar, usually results in things getting fairly well shook up. While I'm not in the closet by any means, having a belt wrapped around my throat in the middle of a public bar and brought helplessly nose to nose with the most intoxicating butch top I knew was, while intensely arousing, still not the most comfortable place I've ever been. The corner stools would suit me just fine.
Grabbing a beer I settled in to wait and it wasn't long before I saw her entrance. True to form she looked fantastic, biker leathers and black singlet in sharp contrast to the long blonde hair tied back in a simple pony tail. The effect should have been a bit femme but wasn't, more reminiscent of a Nordic warrior than a catwalk model. And she was a true warrior, many sparring sessions had taught me that those muscles weren't just showy but very effective. Usually I had held my own though, my boxing against her martial arts, mostly ending up fairly even, her with the odd black eye and me with bruises from being thrown around the ring.
If you're a butch bottom with a thing for butch tops sparring is often the only way to get a vicarious thrill. Butch tops are notoriously shy about hooking up with other butches. Some feel threatened as if their membership to the butch brotherhood will be rescinded if they are seen getting hot and bothered over another butch. Me, I'd long given up on such garden-variety limitations. I liked them butch and I liked them hard but I had no intention of turning femme just to soothe their insecurities. As such I spent a lot of time in the gym, feinting and grappling, pitting muscle against muscle. Occasionally a quick spurt of martial arousal would result in a shower cubicle blowjob but those opportunities to get on my knees were few and far between. I'm not complaining, that's just the way it is. Like anyone I'd worked out ways to relieve the sexual tension, bottoming to butches didn't stop me from topping with femmes. There is no more imaginative top than a frustrated bottom.
Due to some unfortunate wiring issues however I just can't train a femme to satisfy my craven desire to get on my knees. My wiring insists that I can't top a butch and I can't submit to a femme. (with one diamond bright exception - and that's a different story that I'll tell on another day). There have been more than a few confused femmes who found the butch bottom they'd been told about had flipped them and given them something else to think about. You've all heard the saying, "butch on the streets, femme in the sheets"? Well I reckon that's what they were expecting but most were pretty pleased when they found their expectations turned on their heads. Not all femmes are bottoms but I know how to pick those that were.
