As so many stories have begun, theirs was early spring, late summer relationship. She was sweet, just becoming a golden-haired young beauty, he was older and well experienced.
Jason sauntered into the party bringing with him a sensational bunch of flowers. In addition to the flowers, he brought a bottle of collectible old wine encased in a lined timber case, with handsome wrapping by the vendor.
Jason had met his hosts, Jeremy and Peter many years earlier through business. Over time they became friends. Jason was a regular habitué at their parties and dinners. He was a highly favored guest for his ability to charm and amuse others. He was greeted warmly by his hosts and relieved of his gifts. His hosts were effusive with their gratitude for such spectacular largesse.
'Your architects have given you an impressive design here, a well-executed building particularly given such a sheer-falling away of the land, remarkable pool' Jason commented as he looked out at the expanse of water through the glass windows.
'It wasn't easy, building on a cliff face, the pool was a total nightmare for the manufacturers. It is doubtful they made a whole lot of money from the deal.' said his host
Jason nodded and added,
'With your permission, I shall take myself on tour and leave you to greet your incoming guests.'
'Tour away!' His host responded with a sweeping hand gesture.
Jason ambled through the place admiring the design. Most rooms had the floor to ceiling glass windows as a major part of the walls looking out over the bay. The design was starkly modern, giving the appearance of solid simplicity matched with perfect taste. The staircase appeared to free float from the wall. There was an expanse of glass as barriers in the upper levels. The bathrooms were all designed as an open plan, no enclosures at all. There were dual showers on one wall with strategically placed basin and toilet facilities. The color scheme was shades of greiges, a combination of gray and beige toning in a subtle blending. The stark white ceilings set it all off with dramatic contrast. The essence was that of quality without compromise.
Once his inspection of the inside was complete, he moved out to take a closer look at the pool. It gave the feeling of being a counter lever to the house. It appeared to float in midair; being a glass structure of enormous strength and volume. The color of the glass made it look like a colossal rectangular prism of pure suspended water. The sun shimmered off the top of the pool, complimenting the distant bay water which lay beyond.
He noticed a stunning young blonde girl lounging at the water's edge. Always the connoisseur of young women, he intended to become acquainted. He slowly made his way over to her during his inspection of the pool and home's exterior.
'Hello - Jason,' he said in a way as to elicit the girl's name.
'Oh Hi, I am Lee,' holding out her hand in a gentle manner.
He took it and shook it lightly. Letting go of her hand, he asked if he might join her on the lounge beside her. She nodded with a touch of shyness. He found the shyness delicious. In fact, he found all of her delicious. He had been casually appreciating her during the inspection of the pool.
First, there were her naked legs, long and tanned with a light bloom of blonde hair over them. Then there was the line of green bikini bottom covering her lower parts. His eyes undressed her; he imagined sliding down that tiny piece of cloth and finding a mound of soft blonde hair. He would put his hand there and stroke her softness, perhaps moving his fingers lower as his palm rested on the mound. His mind mused over stroking her soft fur, perhaps bending to smell her youthful freshness.
Above the bikini bottom was her torso with nicely defined muscles and a taught stomach. The bikini top was the same lightweight green material, leaving scant for the imagination. There was no doubt as to her shape plump, small rounded breasts. He could see a slight outline of the nipples under the top.
Again his mind stripped her of the top; he would stroke her breasts until her nipples hardened taking one nipple into his mouth nipping and sucking, holding her breast, stroking it.
Her voice interrupted his preoccupation.
'Beautiful place isn't it?'
'Breathtaking,' he said looking at her not referring to the house at all.
'If I lived here I don't think I could stop looking out at the water. I love how it sparkles in the sunlight,' Lee's eyes looked at the distant waters in front of them.
'Do you like being on the water?' he asked.
'I haven't ever been on the water, as in a boat or anything. I like going to the beach and lying by the water or swimming if it is warm enough. I like the sound when the waves come in.' she was becoming quite attentive of the man beside her.
Lee knew he was much older than herself, maybe even older than her father. She was becoming attracted to him in a way she had never felt with boys her age. She began smiling at him more and paying attention to his eyes. Lovely blue eyes his hair was dark with a few hints of gray. He had fine strong features; he looked distinguished, and he seemed quite tall lying beside her.
Most of all it was his eyes that attracted her, they made her feel special in the way he looked at her. He seemed deeply interested in her. The boys she knew had conversations about cars and football until they attempted to kiss and grope her. It was embarrassing and annoying. At other times, they would stare at her and make her feel uncomfortable.
'Perhaps you might like to come out on my sailboat one day? I have it moored not far from here. We could take it out for a sail on a calm day,' he suggested.
'I would love that!' her excitement was palpable as she answered.
'Good, then we shall make that happen,' he said, smiling.
'And what do you do when you are not lying in sun worship?' he queried.
'I am a student, doing first year Bachelor of Science. I want to become a speech pathologist,' she answered as she stretched out a little more on the lounge.
Jason resisted the urge to be smarmy by saying she had brains as well as beauty. Instead, he commented,
'That is a fascinating career choice, do you know anyone working in speech pathology?'
'No, it was a choice which appealed to me when I was thinking about what I wanted to do as a career. It is a very constructive way to help people, without cutting them open or filling them up with medicines,' she replied in a serious manner.
'What do you do when you are not sailing your boat?' she said half mockingly.
'I am a commercial photographer,' he said.
'Ahhh as in gorgeous models and beautiful clothes,' she said grinning.
'No as in coffee machines, cars, refrigerators, stuff, nothing glamorous,' he said shrugging his shoulders.
'Cars are glamorous!' she exclaimed.
'True, cars are indeed glamorous, especially after I have photographed them,' he grinned his agreement with a gleam in his eye.
'And sometimes they come with a pretty girl in the shoot,' he added.
'See I knew it, surrounded by pretty girls!' she joked.
'Well I am surrounded by a pretty girl at the moment,' he said flirting with her.
Lee giggled at his flirting; she was enjoying his company enormously.
The hosts were laying out a banquet of food inside, waving at their guests to come in and join them for something to eat and drink. The owners wanted to celebrate the birth of their new home. It had been a long time in the building, but now it was a real masterpiece of engineering and design.
Everyone congregated around the table of food. It was a lavish spread of seafood and salads, assorted cold meats and cheeses of all description, small bite sized things, a selection of bread and platters of cut fruit. It was beautiful to the eye and enticing to the appetite.
Glasses of wine were brought around to toast the new home. Each guest took a drink waiting for the toast.
The hosts stepped forward; Peter cleared his throat to speak.
'Jeremy and I would love to thank you all for coming today to celebrate the birth of our new home. We are grateful to you for the generosity of your gifts, not expected but appreciated none the less. We hope to have many more gatherings here and look forward to your company in the future.'
Jeremy lifted his glass and added his voice.
'Cheers, let the games begin!'
There was a resounding hail of cheers as everyone took a sip from their glasses.
Lee and Jason had come in together and were standing a little way from the banquet. He laid his hand on her back to guide her toward the food. Her skin was as soft as a young child's skin, all he wanted to do was to stroke it. His hand brushed against her long blonde hair as he drew his hand away. He could imagine grasping handfuls as he held her head for a kiss. He almost moaned at the thought.
She felt a slight shock as he touched her back, it was a tingle running through her like a tiny electric current. She would have liked him to leave his hand on her back for a while longer; it felt firm and protective. She particularly enjoyed the experience, the brief intimacy of the touch.
It was their turn to select from all the delicacies on display in front of them. Lee turned back to Jason to say how fantastic was the choice. He nodded his agreement smiling softly into her eyes. His appetite was not for the food in front of him.
They took their selection back to the lounges, settling down to get to know each other a little better over the evening ahead. Jason was captivated by her, and Lee felt things inside herself she had never felt before. They spent the rest of the night in intimate sympathy, neither wanting to break their gaze.
Jeremy had been watching them during the evening, he remarked quietly to his partner he thought Jason might be about to add another notch to his swagger stick.
'I do not know how he does it! He is positively ancient. Wish I could pull like that,' said Jeremy.
'Didn't think you were into girls darling!' Peter quipped. Jeremy grimaced and went off to find some gossip.
