(This is the second part in a true story that actually happened to me. You might want to read the first part to get the backstory on this.)
After so many years of separation, we unexpectedly connected again. It was almost thirty years ago that I had been her teacher and she was my beautiful and sexy student. I had been so careful to remain totally professional with her, all the time knowing in my heart that there were special feelings for her. Several years later, she had asked me to sing at her wedding and I sang my best, feeling my heart breaking all the time. For whatever reason, I had decided that it would be morally wrong for me to pursue anything romantic with a former student, and I struggled with watching her walk down the isle to marry another man. Then we lost touch over the years. I got married and developed a life without her. Almost thirty years later, we had both divorced and were living single. And for some reason she decided to Google me. The next thing I knew, her email surprised the heck out of me. We exchanged emails, and then phone calls, and then she came to visit me.
When she arrived in Gatlinburg for a few days in early October, it came at her birthday; whether by accident or by plan I didn't know. But it gave me a great opportunity to do some things for her that I might not have been able to do for a friend renewing acquaintances after all these years. I had such a wonderful time buying her some gifts and an even more wonderful time giving them to her on the day she arrived.
Tonight, I was taking her to dinner at the Black Bear, a nice restaurant near my house, for her birthday dinner. We walked into the restaurant and were greeted by Tommy, the host and my friend. He pointed to my usual table, which sat toward the back of the restaurant next to the windows overlooking the creek that separated the restaurant from the national park beyond. I noted, "Ummm. Nicely cool," aloud, prompting a quizzical look from her. I didn't share that my comment was a result of her going braless for the first time in our renewed relationship. She was wearing a thin but not quite transparent off-white dress that was somewhat form-fitting without actually clinging tightly. And she was wearing a matching pair of off-white sandals with two-inch heels, making them a perfect combination of casual and elegant.
Her neckline showed a fair amount of cleavage yet without crossing the line into slutty exhibitionism, highlighted by a necklace made of small black stones that looked like a string of black pearls with a blue sapphire dangling at the center. The sapphire was more than 3 carats, and sparkled so brightly it caught the eye of everyone at the restaurant. The necklace was her birthday present from me, given to her just minutes before we went to dinner. In walking her to our table, for just a second she was caught in the setting sunlight, backlit just long enough for me to truly appreciate her dress and especially what was under it. Her sapphire sparkled beautifully, almost blindingly, for only a second before losing the sunlight.
I sat her facing the corner and I took the corner seat. As I seated her, I just managed to steal a quick glance down her blouse at her breasts, and was pleasantly greeted by her nipples beginning to respond to the cool temperature of the dining room. I also noticed that the freckles on her deeply tanned cleavage accented the off-white of her dress wonderfully, and once again I realized just how beautiful her breasts were.
Our physical relationship was still new enough, especially after 34 years of self-imposed moral restrictions on my thoughts concerning her, that I was somewhat sheepish about openly appreciating her body. I was finding it more difficult than I expected to adjust from being her teacher so many years ago to being her lover now. The fact that she had such a beautiful body was not new to me, but the option to openly admire it and compliment her on it is still so new that I was almost startled at this new freedom. I allowed myself the privilege of staring at her cleavage for a few seconds.
We had a wonderful meal in the quiet ambiance of the restaurant, with her ordering the salmon filet and I the NY Strip. The bottle of Kendall Jackson Merlot set off the meal wonderfully, while apparently relaxing her just a little. When the server asked us about dessert, she responded with a teasing smile.
"We will be having dessert at home tonight." Immediately, she blushed, as if not realizing her words until after speaking them. I grinned and asked for the check, a sense of sudden urgency overcoming me.
We left the restaurant quickly, but not too quickly so as to make things too obvious, and I opened the car door for her. As she sat down in the front seat and then swung her legs into the car, I glanced down and noticed that the front of her dress had opened just enough to give me a nearly complete view of her left breast. She paused, noticing my eyes, and looked down at herself. Then she looked me straight in the eyes and slid her dress aside for me to see her entire left breast, holding the dress in that position for several seconds.
