My stressful week ended with missed deadlines for two high priority new clients because of things out of my control, an uncomfortable one on one conversation with my boss, followed by bumper to bumper traffic. When I returned home I wanted to do nothing other than put on a pair of my favorite comfy sweat pants, an old t-shirt. I wanted to order Chinese delivery so I could spend the rest of the night on the couch in front of the television.
Unfortunately that Paul hadn't put that into the night's itinerary. My husband had planned a night out for me. Normally a good thing, but I wouldn't call this a date. Or anything even close to that. I don't even know how to explain what he had planned for the night.
I found a tiny black dress waiting for me on our bed. I picked it up and looked at it. It definitely didn't come from my closet. I would've never bought it. Maybe back in college, but not now.
I took a quick shower then tried it on anyways. I knew my husband would be disappointed if I didn't.
The designer didn't make the dress for women like me. I have a body that still gets looks, but I could barely get the dress on. I spent the whole time worrying that I would rip it and my husband wouldn't be able to return it.
It fit skin tight, showing off all of my curves and not in the sexy sort of way. I'd like to think I have all of the right curves still, however the tightness combined with the extremely low cut neckline made my front look like someone trying to relive their wild college years. Not to mention the backside that barely covered my ass. If I bent over the whole world would see my underwear.
I peeled it off and picked out another dress from my closet. A black dress, but otherwise completely different. Still what I would like to think of as sexy, but a whole lot more classy. It still showed off my cleavage, but just a peek. It left my curves to the imagination of the viewer.
Because I left work late and because of the traffic I ran into on the way home, I hurried to get to the club on time. It left little time to do my hair and makeup. I skipped grabbing anything to eat.
I drove to the club with my heart pounding and my mind full of questions. Why did I agree to play this game? Why did he have fantasies like this? Would I actually go through with it?
I did go through with driving to the club, even though I felt like turning around at every intersection. I sat in my car in the parking lot, still wanting to go home. Finally, I gave in. I decided to go in. I would have a drink or two, then go back home and say the game didn't work out.
I went inside and walked straight to the bar and wasted no time getting the bartender's attention. I ordered my drink and hoped he would make it strong. Just after nine, but people already surrounded the bar and started over flowing on to the dance floor. Colorful lights flashed, illuminating faces for a second then moving on. The bass from the electronic music vibrated my body. I felt old, I wanted to ask them to turn the volume down. I had to yell for the bartender to hear my order.
I took half of a sip of my vodka and cranberry before I noticed him watching me. He grinned, I smiled back.
Styled black hair that I just wanted to run my fingers through, chiseled face of a Greek god and underneath his blue dress shirt it looked like a chiseled body too. He made me forget about my nervousness about coming here alone. Of course it didn't stop there. He had other affects on me too.
I took another sip and when I looked back towards the other side of the bar, I found an empty spot where he once stood. Too good to be true. Too good to be interested in me.
As I took a longer sip of my drink. While tasting the liquor I debated how long I would stay there. Before I could debate that too long, a hand touched my back. I turned hoping to see styled black hair and chiseled face. Instead I found black hair without the sexy styling, cute but not drop dead sexy face and a warm smile. Not a ten like the Greek god, but a six or seven, maybe an eight. He held out his hand. "I'm Todd."
A rather straightforward, but boring approach. However, better than the last guy who hit on me as I left the mall last Saturday. That guy had no qualms about letting me know how nice he thought my tits looked. Todd took a peek at the cleavage escaping from the top of my dress or he might've just been looking for my hand to see if I would shake his. I reached out my hand and shook his. I hesitated for a second before I said, "I'm Jessica."
He greeted me with a strong grip and bigger smile. "It's nice to meet you Jessica."
By no means the Greek god, but still good looking. The first guy more of a fantasy, this guy more of a reality. Could actually go through with it?
We made small talk until I finished my drink. He looked at the glass and asked, "Can I buy you another drink?"
"Sure." If I even thought I might want to go through with this, I would need more than just one drink.
Three drinks later a warm buzz ran through my whole body and the alcohol wasn't the only thing to blame. In the crunch of the crowd, Todd had wrapped his arm around me and our bodies pressed together as we talked. As he told me about his trip here for work, I wanted to kiss him. I looked into his brown eyes and saw a lust filled look that had been missing from my husband.
"Do you want to do dance?" He asked when he realized I hadn't heard a word he had said for the past few minutes.
"I'd love to." It had been way too long since the last time I had gone dancing. My husband hated the dance floor and the only time I could get him near it was at a wedding.
We finished our drinks and left them on the bar counter. Todd took my hand and led me through the crowd. His strong hand gripping mine sent a surge of electric energy into me. I walked on clouds through the crowded mass. My heart started to pound.
Not the best dancer, but at least he tried. He kind of just moved side to side, but I would call it cute. He became sexy when he closed the distance between us. He pressed his body against mine and our bodies started to move as one. I forgot about my husband as Todd wrapped his arms around me.
We kissed. His strong lips came on aggressive, full of lust and desire. Not exactly the kind of kiss that epic romance novels are written about, but it still an affect on me. I became ninety-nine percent sure I would go through with it.
His hands found my ass and pulled me against him. I couldn't miss the growing erection pressing against my waist. Any other man and I would've pushed him away and followed that up with a hard slap. Not this time though, this time I had other thoughts. "I want you," I said into his ear.
He stopped dancing and looked at me. He smiled. "I'm staying at a hotel just down the street."
"Let's go."
He wasted no time. He grabbed my hand and led me out of the club, not stopping to ask any questions.
Outside a line waited to enter the club. I felt every set of eyes on me as I walked by them. They couldn't have known what I was doing, but it certainly felt like it. Their looks combined with the cool night air brought me back to reality. The ring on my left hand became heavy on my finger.
Yet I didn't stop him or make any attempts to leave his side. I walked with him the two blocks to his hotel filled with thoughts of what he would look like naked and on top of me.
Those thoughts didn't disappear as the female clerk behind the front desk looked at us. I felt like she knew too. Maybe she checked him in and knew that I hadn't checked in with him. I hadn't been this excited to enter a hotel since my prom senior year. Maybe spring break my senior year in college. Yes, I didn't say on my wedding night or honeymoon.
We raced through the lobby and soon as the elevator doors shut behind us, he pressed up against me again. This time he pinned me against the mirrored walls. This kiss became the kind of kiss that romance novels with Fabio on the front cover are written about. He made my legs weak and my body's temperature head towards over heating.
His hands attacked my chest, caressing my cleavage. Before we made it to his floor, his hand found my thigh and moved up my leg. I saw the security camera, but I didn't know if his body or my dress blocked what he was doing. When I felt his finger tips brush against the lace fabric of my panties I stopped worrying about the security camera. Just the brush of the tips of his fingers made me let out a moan. This promised to be an interesting night.
The elevator door opened and for a moment it brought me back to reality. The hotel hallway leading to his room, definitely not the hallway leading to my bedroom at home. With it's mix of marble floors and short patterned carpet in the middle, it looked nothing like the hardwood floors back at home. Part of me just wanted to turn around and go back home to my normal life. However, I needed this. I needed something more than just my normal routine at home.
Todd led me to a room at the end of the hallway. He unlocked the door with his key card and I followed him into the room. The door shut behind us and he locked the brass bolt. My heart pounded. No turning back now.
