It was the kind of glance that sends a shiver down your body. It totally consumes your thoughts for a moment. You want to respond as cool as possible. You want to stare but you are afraid you will appear so desperate. You don't want to lose this moment. This glance has you.
I frequent a local coffee shop most mornings. I order a regular coffee, no additional flavorings, just a good strong cup of coffee to get my day started. On occasional mornings I get it "to go" where it sits later for a time on my desk at work until I remember it is there and drink it down. Other mornings, I sit and read the morning paper and enjoy watching the activity of others beginning their daily routine. The newspaper shadows my face to allow for my people watching. I see some regulars and nod or speak a familiar hello but I rather enjoy just watching them unknowingly. I enjoy seeing the beauty of the career minded ladies dressed beautifully to begin their lives for the day.
I am middle-aged and though my desire for passion is as strong as ever, I believe myself much more considerate of others. I don't want the ladies to see me staring in a way that makes them uncomfortable. I want the experience of lovemaking to be as wonderful for my partner as me. I am tired of the game playing to get them in bed. I much more would rather experience the time as an event. Complete enjoyment for all involved.
Then there was this glance. Our eyes met as I stared over the top of my paper. I wasn't concerned with anything at the moment accept these beautiful deep brown eyes that seemed to look straight into me. I knew there was more to this than hello. I wanted her more than anything and it all happened in an instant. There was a slight smile as her eyes closed then opened. It was as if she knew she had me. I felt oddly embarrassed but totally engrossed.
As she paid for her coffee and turned to leave, I studied her closely. Her tight red dress seemed to be a part of her. Every curve from her beautiful neck and ending on her black heels was revealing. She was full of curves, not thin. Her hair was long, and her walk was confident.
