NATALIE
Every man fantasizes about being with an older woman who has a healthy libido and is extremely creative in bed. These women really do exist; women who live and breath sex. Spending time with Natalie gave me a terrific perspective on life. Quite frankly, it amazed me that even at this point in my life a woman could be a sexual mentor to me, a living tutorial on total pleasure in bed.
Our thing - Natalie and me - all started on a trip out west, to Phoenix.
These days my work gets me out on the road a bit. But even though I'm a tenured professor I'm no big shot; I fly coach like the rest of the poor slobs. And somehow I ALWAYS end up sitting next to some old battleaxe, either that or some horrible troll who grunts and farts and snores like a pig. When I got on the plane this time, I couldn't believe my luck when I found my seat and looked down at the vision of loveliness I would be spending the next three hours next too.
A good-looking woman in her late forties, with black hair cut a little more than shoulder length, jet-black hair so shiny it seemed to be slick with oil. Her face was simply beautiful; flashing brown black almond shaped eyes, and lips full and pouty and painted a bright red that seemed to float against her alabaster-white porcelain complexion - it was if her lips were an entity unto themselves.
She was dressed in a businesswoman's gray wool suit, tailored to hug her curves. She had the professional look down to a t, right down to the ubiquitous strand of pearls. Her skin was so white that at first it seemed she was wearing a collarless white dress shirt beneath the suit coat.
I stowed my bag in the overhead bin, then indicated my seat by the window. She smiled, but didn't budge an inch as I leaned over before sitting down, as if purposefully allowing a prerequisite glimpse down the front of her gray suit jacket. I could not help but feast my eyes on her generous cleavage; two round, plump white birds nestled into the white lace cups of her brassiere.
When I was finally able to tear my eyes away from this marvelous sight and look up she was regarding me with a confident, steady eye. Her face betrayed no sense of indignation at my gape-mouthed staring. I managed to make it past her to my seat without drooling and when I'd settled in we exchanged smiles. She extended her hand. "My name is Natalie."
"I'm Sean."
And then the small talk proceeded - where are you going? what do you do? - the usual crap you say to strangers on a plane. But Natalie seemed genuinely friendly, and our conversation continued. We talked about our respective spouses; she had a ring on her finger and a diamond the size of a hens egg. Natalie seemed interested in my work, the fact that I was a psych professor seemed to pique her curiosity.
Natalie's chic appearance was enhanced by the way she carried herself; there was a certain sense sexual self-confidence about her that intrigued me. Throughout the whole flight as we conversed I fantasized about her naked, on her back, thrashing about in the throes of passion; a total sexual animal.
Then it happened.
I was wearing an open collared shirt, no tie, and Natalie caught a glimpse of the tattoo on my chest. I was blabbing away about some stupid shit when she said, "Excuse me." I didn't mind her interrupting me because her fingertips were at the opening of my shirt. "What is this?" she asked, gently tugging to see more. "May I see? What kind of a tattoo is this?"
It's a big tattoo and it tends to draw an inordinate amount of attention even when it's partially exposed. An Oriental piece, my tattoo portrays a battle between a giant octopus and a semi-naked geisha girl. I got it out in Asia, but that's another story. The octopus and the geisha are rolling in the surf and the waves are pulling her totally transparent kimono away from her body. The girl is fully exposed except where the octopus's tentacles reach around; the look on her face is one of total ecstasy. Like, she's not struggling too hard to get away from the creature, right? Needless to say, this work has drawn a fair share of comments from the opposite sex over the years.
"Go ahead," I told her, "you can have a look."
Natalie undid a couple of buttons, held my shirt partially open with a couple of fingers, and then she became totally drawn in. She finally had my shirt unbuttoned down to my waist and pulled wide open, her hands were on my chest and she was plain open-mouthed gawking. "OH . . . MY . . . GAWD!!!"
This is the usual effect.
When she'd had a good look I chuckled and buttoned up. Then I glanced down at the rounded tops of Natalie's magnificent pair and with a suggestively raised eyebrow and a nod of my chin I said, "Now that I've shown you mine, what about you showing me yours?"
For a split second Natalie's eyes bounced back and forth to the lavatories to the front of the plane. I laughed, giving her a break, like I was only kidding, right? But I knew, from the way she blushed right up to the hairline, that I had totally read her mind. And she knew it, too.

The story would have ended there. I'm a pervert, I'll be the first to admit it, but I don't go out of my way to stalk married women. I mean, I'm a notorious flirt, sure, and I like to indulge in the occasional risquΓ© repartee. I welcomed Natalie's company on what would have been another dull and dreary flight, but at the time I had no way of knowing that our little tΓͺte-Γ -tΓͺte would lead to any thing, and certainly no serious intentions.
The flight ended uneventfully. We disembarked, picked up our luggage and headed our separate ways. As she made her way toward the taxi stand Natalie gave me a little wave over her shoulder, and I smiled wistfully at the thought of what might have been as I watched her walk away, watched her asscheeks going up and down beneath her miniskirt like two piglets in a sack.
I checked into my hotel, cleaned up, and ordered dinner from room service because I really can't stand eating in a restaurant by myself. Then I sat around in my shorts and a t-shirt, had a beer and watched TV. Then I dozed off, and it was already way past eleven o'clock by the time I heard the knock on my door.
I went to the door and peered out the little peephole; I NEVER open a hotel door for anyone, especially this late at night. At first I thought my precautions were warranted because I didn't see anybody, but then I heard a little voice. "Excuse me! Excuse me! I'm so sorry to disturb you! Can you help me please? I'm locked out of my room!"
It was a woman's voice.
I was both puzzled and suspicious. I put the little security chain in place and cracked open the door. "If you're locked out why don't you go down to the front desk?"
"Because I'm naked!"
This got my attention. I leaned as far as I could with the chain still in place and noticed a woman's hand waving from a little alcove in the hallway, about ten feet from my door. I recognized the rings on her fingers: it was Natalie.
"Please can I have a towel or something? It's freezing out here!"
"Uh, yeah, wait right there." I kicked a shoe in the door to keep it open, fetched the shirt I'd worn that day off the floor and tossed it to her. "Here you go."
"Thank you so much," Natalie said, doing up buttons as she came around the corner. Sure enough, it didn't strain the imagination to see she was bare-ass naked underneath my shirt. "I'm so sorry. Can you call the front desk now?"
"Uh, sure," I said, trying hard to keep my tongue from lolling straight down my chin like a hound dog on a hot day. "What's going on?"
"Well, I was in my room, and I thought I'd get some ice. And so I popped out the door, and the door clicked behind me, and believe it or not it wasn't until that moment that I realized I wasn't wearing a thing!"
Poor little Natalie, not quite the self-confident woman of the world I'd met earlier that day on the airplane; all wide eyes and totally embarrassed, but still quite beautiful. Stunningly so, in fact.
"Do go on..." I uttered, wanting to hear more.
"Well, I like to be naked," Natalie said, "I like being nude as often as possible. I believe nudity is healthy, actually. After the flight, the first thing I did when I got to my room was take off all my clothes. To relax, you know."
"Uh, sure. Yeah." For some reason I wasn't really Mister Conversationalist at this very moment.
"And I truly forgot I was naked when I went out into the hallway to go to the ice machine."
