"I hope you don't think I'm a slut or something." Christina spoke to the passenger window to avoid making eye contact with me as I drove a little too fast down the freeway. We had chatted online for two months, exchanged barely more than a dozen emails, talked on the phone three times, and this was only the second time we'd met face to face.
"No, of course not," I replied. More words buzzed around in my head.
Our first rendezvous was over coffee at Starbucks. Christina was short and pleasantly plump, sporting brown Latina eyes and bottle-blonde hair and subdued makeup. This time, three weeks later, I had picked her up at the same Starbucks, and we were driving to a spa that she'd told me offered small, private rooms, each with a hot tub, a shower, and a small foam rubber mattress on a wooden shelf. It was her suggestion to go there. It was unspoken, though it was clear she wanted to fuck.
If Christina was a slut, then so was I. She wanted to fuck. I wanted to fuck her.
"This will be fun," I offered. She didn't come right out and tell me that she'd been there before, though it seemed obvious. She didn't tell me with whom. Or with how many. Christina had told me she was married and bored and looking for some adventure in her life. In her late thirties, a decade younger than me, she looked older and more tired than her years. She had four kids with her first husband, all in their twenties. She'd started early. Then came a few unhappy, apathetic years with husband #2. My guess was that she'd had a lot of adventure in her younger years. Probably more than I'd had.
We'd already had the obligatory "Condoms?" conversation – over the phone a week earlier. Birth control was a non-issue. Her tubes were tied after her last child, and I'd had a vasectomy. I had assured her I was safe and healthy. "I am, too," she'd replied, "but you can use one if you want to. It's your choice." I was trusting, maybe even reckless. I loved feeling my cock buried inside bare pussy. I didn't bring any condoms.
"It's a good place," she reassured me about the spa. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her smile at me. Perhaps it wasn't with too many other men, I thought. She still seemed a bit nervous. Not that I wasn't a bit nervous, too. The adventure of fucking a married woman carried a certain level of risk from a potentially irate husband.
The spa met my expectations, and my expectations hadn't been very high. It sat in a strip mall, around the corner from a restaurant and dry cleaners. We waited in the lobby for a few minutes for a room to become available, sitting side by side in awkward silence on a bench seat. The smell of chlorine was in the air. The wallpaper on the walls and the carpet on the floors were frayed. So was the sullen female clerk behind the counter. Maybe I would be, too, if my job was akin to running the front desk at a seedy motel that charged by the hour.
A couple emerged from a hallway that presumably led to the rooms. They were two fortysomethings, he with a mustache and a slight paunch, she with big tits and wide hips, both with wet hair. He handed a room key to the clerk, and they headed out the front door, never once making eye contact with us or with each other. I didn't get the impression that they had been there to soak aching muscles.
The clerk spoke briefly on the telephone, and then she caught my eye, held up a key and wiggled it back and forth. "Room 15," she said when we approached, handing me the key and two towels and motioning her head toward the hallway to the back rooms. The clerk and I didn't make lingering eye contact, either. I guess it was that kind of place.
The hallway to the rooms was a maze. Left, right, right. We followed the signs to Room 15. When we finally stood in front of the door, Christina excused herself. "I need to find a bathroom," she said. Another sign showed the way. "I'll be right back." I opened the door to Room 15, our Gateway To Adventure, and stepped inside.
The room was bigger than I had imagined it would be, but I wouldn't have called it spacious. There was cheap wood wall paneling on the walls and large red Mexican pavers on the floor. A wooden hottub was in the back right corner. Directly in front of me was a door to a sauna, and a showerhead was on the back wall between the sauna and the tub - no shower curtain, just a tile floor with a drain and a liquid soap dispenser attached to the wall below the showerhead. To my right was a wooden platform barely more than half the width of a twin bed, sporting a three-inch thick mattress that was covered with a cheap white sheet, seemingly freshly laundered. It wasn't a five star spa, but it would serve our needs for the next two hours.
Christina found the room, and I locked the door behind her. "Well," she said, facing me in the center of the room, "Here we are." I kissed her. Her mouth was sweet and soft, with just the right amount of tongue. Her body folded against mine, and I had a flash of awareness that before too long this voluptuous woman in my arms was going to be naked and horizontal, and my stiffening erection was going to be slip-sliding inside her. We broke for air, and Christina motioned her head toward the hottub. "Want to do the tub? Or?"
