At a small table tucked in the back of the quaint coffee shop, the world came crashing down on the petite green-eyed redhead as she came to the disturbing conclusion that she really didn’t know a damn thing about issues of the world. Sure she knew things, but the farther she got into the book, ‘The World Uncensored’, the more she realized she didn’t know half of what she should know. When one has to stop every so often and search the Internet for half the people listed in the book, it tends to make you realize that there may be a bit more in the world than you have been exposed to.
In mid-sentence, Jade, named after the color of her eyes, sat staring blankly at the chapter 3. The little observation about politics soon blossomed into more complicated. What else had she been missing out on? What else had she denied herself, whether knowingly or unknowingly? Was she afraid of what it might bring?
“Hello there.” A deep masculine voice interrupted her unnerving contemplation.
She looked up a little annoyed at having been disturbed. A pair of eyes you would swear were black met hers. The tan face broke into a charming smile. “Hi.”
The stranger sat down without being asked. He flipped his shoulder-length black hair away from his face as he settled himself in the seat. A waitress appeared with a cup of coffee as if on cue. “Ah. I love the smell of espresso.” He commented as he took a sip.
“Uh. Do I know you?” Jade asked straightforward.
“Not yet. My name is Drake.” He reached out a hand; a half crest ring gleamed from his finger.
“Jade.” She stuck her hand out.
He captured it and turned it over palm up. He bent and kissed the inside of her wrist. The unexpected kiss sent butterflies to her stomach and warning bells to her head. She silently debated with herself trying to decide which one she should listen to. Her head or her stomach?
She gently pulled her hand away. “Nice to meet you. What can I do for you?”
“Oh no no, Jade. It is not what you can do for me, it is what can I do for you?” Drake looked deep into her eyes.
“Ummm well considering I don’t know you, there is nothing you can do for me.” Jade stated, growing aggravated at the stranger, handsome stranger she admitted, but still a stranger.
“Oh, Jade, don’t be so sure of that. I have plenty to offer you. I can show you a whole other world, if you are willing.” Drake said in a low voice.
Jade jerked her head up. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously on him. How could he have known though? Unless he could read minds, she laughed at that. “I like my world, thank you.”
“Ah.” He said simply. He didn’t say anything else, just kept his eyes transfixed on hers.
“Well, I do!” Jade defended herself when he didn’t comment.
“I am sure you do, Jade. However, I can show you another part of this world and I guarantee you will also love this one as well.” He stated it like it was a fact. Like there was no possible way she would hate whatever he was going to show her. He saw her look down at her book and he remained silent for a moment.
“What is this you are trying to show me?” Jade looked back into his eyes.
“I couldn’t begin to justify it with words, but I promise you this, it is nothing that will harm you in anyway. I am just simply trying to give people a new outlook on life. A new undiscovered way to live.”
As he spoke in those soft, confident tones, Jade felt herself believing every word he said. ‘What would it hurt if I had a look at what he was talking about?’ She asked herself. She was tired of missing out on life. She silently made a vow not to let opportunities pass her by anymore! “Nothing that will harm me?”
“Promise, Jade.” He stood up and offered his hand.
She looked up in his eyes and placed her hand in his. She smiled and walked away from the table, the book still open to chapter 3. She kept her eyes glued to him as they picked their way through the tables. He held the door open for her and she finally broke his stare. A black limo sat in front of the coffee shop. A handsome black man held the door open for her as he smiled.
Jade stepped into the spacious limo and sat on the seat at the back. Drake slid in beside her. “Now your journey begins.” He smiled mysteriously.
The promise held in that sentence sent shivers down Jade’s body. She watched him pour her and him a glass of champagne. “To new experiences. May they enhance our minds and enrich our lives.” He held his glass up.
Jade downed the drink her eyes bore into his. He chuckled. “Does it meet your approval?”
The taste was sweet with only a hint of a bitterness, which she couldn’t quite place. “It’s wonderful.” Jade felt the drink spread her way through her body. Her body started heating. Powerful champagne!
“Open the box beside you.”
Jade looked down, surprised that she hadn’t seen the box before now. She untied the red bow and lifted the lid. A long black dress lay in the box, if you could call it a dress that is! It was open all the way to the waist with only 3 thin pieces of material holding the dress over the breasts. She pulled it out. She noticed that the sides were also completely open with those same 3 thin strips of material at the hips and underneath her arm. The lower part of the dress was cut right down the center on both the back and front, resembling long flaps. At least she got a black thong to help cover the exposed areas! Black stiletto heels sat in the bottom of the box.
“Do you like it?” Drake ran a finger over her collarbone as he whispered in her ear.
“It’s umm… revealing!” She exclaimed.
“You will look great in it. Put it on.” He commanded.
Jade looked at him. “HERE?!”
Drake looked deep in her eyes. “Yes, Jade. Here.”
In the back of her head, she knew she should have said, “Ok. Stop the car. I am out of here!” Yet the command and the look in his eyes caused a hot throbbing between her legs and she knew she would do anything he asked as long as he kept looking at her like that.
“Go ahead. Remove your clothes and put on the dress.” He told her.
Her fingers shook as they reached up and started unbuttoning her shirt. She shrugged it off and let it hit the seat. She kept her eyes on his as she unbuttoned her jeans and unzipped them. She braced herself against the back of the seat as she lifted her hips to slide the jeans down her legs. Her body was reacting to just his look, for he did nothing but stare into her eyes, yet her body felt like his hands were sliding over her. She could feel her cotton panties grow wet as her juices made their presence known.
“What are you feeling, Jade? Tell me.” The softly spoken command floated to her ears.
“I uh…” she didn’t know how to explain this. He hadn’t even touched her but she could feel her nipples harden and push against her bra in protest. “My body feels like it is on fire.”
“Mmmmmm do you want to touch yourself, Jade?”
“Y-yes.” She whispered finally breaking his gaze.
“Take your bra and panties off now, Jade.” Drake let his eyes slide down to watch her hands reach behind her and release her bra. She slid it down her arms, leaving her tits standing proudly. Her nipples were large and hard. He could tell they wanted a mouth around them. His eyes followed her hands as they slide slowly down her body to grab the waistband of her panties.
