If you are not 18 or over, well - I encourage your curiosity, but please pursue it elsewhere... this story is for adults only. Thanks.
We are M & Y of MyMPTP. It's me writing at the moment - I'm Y.
This story is mostly just a remembrance M shared with me and then wrote for me a long time ago. He posted it in one of the "newsgroups" of yore.
So, please note: you may have seen this story long ago - but it was M who wrote it and this is his Literotica profile and we're here as a couple.

Part I
I was barely 18 ... at least I *think* my birthday had passed. I was young, and though I'd gotten laid the first time when I was 14, I was just then really coming into my own sexuality. I had more than one really important relationship going, all of them with more or less understanding women ... all but one was older than me. And I suppose my hormone-driven ego was cranking right along. Pretty full of myself.
But SHE had me by the balls, plain and simple. She had worked for a while at the bookstore where I did. Early thirties, slender, graceful, with the posture and poise of a dancer, although she wasn't one. She just moved well and carried herself with pride and grace. Dark, especially her hair and eyes, but all of her. Her ancestry was Russian and French. She had a soft, deep sense of humor; she seemed to have read everything. She was surprisingly raunchy, but in a sort of quiet way - a way that was actually a form of flirting. She would make a sexual pun or double-entendre and just check with a subtle glance to see if you got it ... and smile with pleasure to see that you had. She would treat you as a co-conspirator in her naughtiness. She would especially do this when she had been slyly teasing one of the many customers or loiterers she attracted to our end of the store. She toyed with them, driving them, and me, completely nuts. "Here comes one of my regulars," she'd murmur as one of the earnest young intellectuals made his way up the aisle, trying to look uninterested, preoccupied. "Wonder what's on his highly educated little mind today?"
We had only worked together for a brief while when she began to casually place a hand on my leg or arm or shoulder. She would sometimes seem "little-girlish" with me, but only subtly. I doubt that anyone else who worked there could see that she was coming on to me. In fact, they would have thought I was flattering myself if I had said anything. I mean, she was nearly twice my age, gorgeous and sophisticated in a near-bohemian way, married, for Christs' sake, and I was this bearded young buck. But I knew, or rather, suspected. Hell, I didn't know what to think. I was becoming obsessed as only a brand new man can be. She was just too delicious. Was I kidding myself? No. Absolutely not. Maybe. Definitely. Oh, for Christ's sake ...
Soon there were lunches. My invitation. She said no the first time I asked her if she'd like to join me for lunch, but it was a very studied "no." She paused a long time, looking into my eyes before saying, "no, I don't think so ..." and let her voice trail off as a slight smile crossed her face. She *enjoyed* saying no to me! Put her hand on my goddamn THIGH when she said no to me.
Somehow, as nonchalantly as I could, but terrified I'd come across like one of her asshole "regulars," I managed to ask her again, and to my astonishment, she agreed. We started having lunch together nearly every day. And then I casually told her I was going to a movie after work, and she asked with whom, and I said no one, just love this guy's films ... we have some of the screenplays back in Film and Theater... We talked for a long while about his film, looked over some of the screenplays together, talked about one we'd both seen ... then she just invited herself along.
She let me listen to her calling her husband to tell him she'd would be home late, that she and "a friend" were going to a movie. She glanced at me and smiled slightly as she said "friend." Agony. "No, darling, you stay home ... well, sure, maybe ... if it's good I won't mind seeing it again with you sometime ... right. And we'll probably stop somewhere for a bite afterwards ... love you too."
It was the beginning of a long seduction. I wanted it to be a seduction of her by me, but of course it wasn't. I learned a lot.
The movies after work became sort of a regular thing. I decided just to try and set my sexual desire for her aside, at least while I waited for some sort of flash of insight that would make her mine. I rationalized it in a very high-minded way: she's married. I've got plenty of opportunities for sex with women who don't carry that particular baggage, and besides, it's dishonest. Hah! It was equally dishonest to pretend that I didn't want her. But that's life when you're seventeen, eighteen years old.
We were great spiritual partners for one another. We had a passion for poetry, for films, for art, for the outdoors ... it was sooo good to be together. Off and on I would see that we were in a sort of love. It began to be ok that we didn't sleep together. In fact, we started to talk about our relationships - she about her marriage, I about my girlfriends and the occasional one-nighter. Once she asked me if I ever went out after being out with her, and I honestly told her yes. Had I ever gone out and had sex after being out with her? Yes. She looked down at her napkin, and I thought she looked a little flushed under her golden skin. When she looked up, she *was* flushed, and her eyes had a twinkle ... tears? She smiled tenderly, and said simply "Good. I like that." She paused again. "Sometimes after we go out, I go home and I ... I have to um ..."
The waiter came and broke the spell. I didn't know what to make of it all: wasn't as bright as everyone thought I was. Some say that I'm still as oblivious about sexual matters now as I was then ... or that I'm better at seeing other people's stuff than my own.
