A seduction? I'm not sure I would call it that. Perhaps it was just finding the right woman - someone who wanted sex, someone who wanted to be fucked. Sex is too refined for what happened that Sunday.
My wife was working. Trying to catch up from the week that never ends. And because of this, our usual swinging had come to an abrupt standstill. And for me? I slept in late and wandered to a museum just to get out. I guess some people call it a rutt. I call it a week without sex. And for me the museum offered some respite from thinking of it.
Rarely did I go just for the art. Instead, wandering past the paintings and sculptures, I usually noticed a woman or two. Perhaps a tourist, or a housewife spending her afternoon while her husband golfed in the country.
It was always the same. I noticed a pair of calves moving beneath a skirt or a breast, pressing against a blouse. No, I wouldn't stare, just notice. Perhaps walk at her pace through an exhibit while watching how she moved, how she enjoyed the art, how she stood.
But on this day it was different. Yes, I wandered past some Monet's before seeing a blonde woman of medium height. Dressed in a light skirt and a white blouse with low heels on. I watched as she moved and followed her at a discrete distance. I watched to see which paintings she admired and viewed as how she regarded them. My own sex becoming semi-rigid as she adjusted her shoe at one point, her skirt riding up her thigh. She seemed to catch my eye for just a second before moving on.
At one point, I lost her around a corner when entering a room and thought my exhibit had ended. So instead I stopped in front of a large canvas to admire it. That's when I heard her voice. Soft and quiet; directly in my ear. "It's impressive isn't it?"
Without turning I answered. "Beautiful. Inspiring."
"It's amazing what we can see if we just stop and look for a moment." I nodded in response.
"You seem to enjoy looking."
I smiled to myself, unsure if she could see me or not. "It's one of life's simple pleasures."
I turned to look at her, and yes it was the same woman. "Would you like to get a cup of coffee?" I asked.
"Is your wife golfing too?" She said, nodding at my ring.
I laughed. "Working on a Sunday. You can't have it all you know."
"I'm not sure about that," I heard her voice say as she looked away.
We enjoyed a cup of coffee with short, terse words. Words that hid beneath our meaning. Words that at one point rolled into an invitation. Words that brought us both into a taxi to my wife's and my apartment. Words that brought her upstairs with the full knowledge of what was going to happen. Words that put her in the living room with a glass of wine as I silently and slowly opened her blouse to reveal a lacy white brassiere. Words that brought my hand up to caress the soft flesh above the lace and brought my lips to kiss her neck. Words that made a finger pull the thin fabric down around her breast revealing a pink nipple that contrasted against her pale, white skin.
