She was driving into the city to see him β her old flame. The man who was her first true love. Back in her college days she had come out of her shell, and came to experience love in all its form with this man. Lust, vulnerability, affection, desire...the destabilizing nature of love.
She had not seen him in years, but they kept in touch. They both moved on with their lives after their dating ended. Graduated college, met someone, got married, had children. They shared sweet photos and family updates through email. And they still maintained a connection that was respectful of their lives now, but also allowed for remembrance of their time together. Now, she was driving to meet him and allow their time together to dictate how this one night would go, and yes, her current husband understood and even desired it for her.
Her husband was never shy about showing her off. His ego was stroked and desire flamed when she would dress with a slight risquΓ© flair β summer silk dresses that revealed her beauty through flashes of sunlight that made the material translucent momentarily. Or simple yoga tops she wore out with cutoffs that displayed her well toned back, shoulders and legs. To these ensembles she would add her ankle bracelet β a simple horsehair woven bracelet he gave her years ago. When she wore this she signified that she was given herself to him and his pleasure for she always enjoyed being "of service" to her men. Not sublimating herself, but rather opening up the possibility of pleasure for both by her giving into the moment. Of course this meant she was drawn to strong man such as her old flame and husband.
Now she was letting these men guide her to this moment. Her husband's desire to show her off also gave him the desire to share her. Her old flame wondered if he would see her again and whether that moment would be suffuse with their old desires and connection. So when he said he was coming to town she knew what that offer meant. So did her husband. He gave her the keys to the car that night, and said he would not wait up.
...
It was a warm spring night when she stepped into the hotel lobby where her old flame was staying. She held over her arm a jean jacket brought along in case a slight chill came into the night for she wore a simple flowing silk dress. It had a halter top that frame her perfectly round petit breast and exposed her shoulders and full back. It flowed down her body to her ankles and actually revealed more than covered of her beautiful shape by forming to her. On her ankle was the horsehair bracelet, and her shoes were simple delicate black dance flats. Other than the pearl earrings, the only other piece of adornment was the red cotton g-string she wore under her dress and over her shaved womanhood.
