The moment he walked into the room, something in Kelsey's brain sprang to attention and she found her gaze locking onto the handsome older man with the salt-and-pepper beard and the warm caramel eyes. She felt her lips parting gently as her mind softened ever so slightly into slack-jawed vacancy, and a tiny blush rose to the surface of her dimpled pink cheeks as she heard Amber chuckling, "I know that face. Do we have a zaddy on our hands?"
Rebecca pretended to peer around, as though she didn't immediately notice the crisp and casual outfit that hung with effortless style on the stranger's lean frame and the... shit, was Kelsey already clocking the bulge in his slacks? She squirmed ever so slightly in her seat as Rebecca did a theatrical double-take and said, "Why yes, Amber, I believe we do. That's a Stage Five zaddy alert, be prepared to hold Kelsey down in her seat and apply a napkin to any drool she might wind up spilling." Kelsey's friends all laughed, and as embarrassed as she was she wound up laughing right along with them, but it was only funny to them because they didn't know the truth. They thought she simply had a type. They weren't aware of....
Amber stood up abruptly, her smile just a little too bright and her stare a little too glassy. "I, uhhh, I'm just going to go and freshen my drink," she blurted, much to the amusement of her closest friends. She headed over to the makeshift bar in the corner, knowing every bit as well as they did that she wouldn't be returning to her seat for quite some time. Maybe not even the rest of the night, unless she was seriously misreading the signals that she got from the sensual older man who was also heading in the direction of the alcohol.
By the time she crossed the crowded room, Kelsey could already feel the satin fabric of her panties clinging to her smooth shaven pussy, yet another slightly mortifying reminder of her uncontrollable attraction to the... god, she hated the word... to the zaddy who was currently ordering a scotch and soda from the bartender. Even his choice of beverage sounded suave and seductive in some inexplicable way, although Kelsey had to remind herself she was more than a little bit biased as she swallowed back the drool Rebecca thought she was only joking about and said, "Hi, I'm Kelsey. I don't think I've seen you at one of Nate's parties before?"
She'd long ago learned not to try to say anything clever or witty when she introduced herself to a man like this. Her cunt was already making her too stupid for that.
The stranger smiled at her with an easy charm that made Kelsey's clit throb like a ringing gong inside her brain. "Name's Matthew," he replied, taking a swig of his drink and fixing her with a smoldering stare that seemed to see right through her. "And no, I'm new in town, although it's starting to look like I'll be here for at least a few months. Nate's an old colleague of mine, and we're working on a little project together--nothing especially exciting, but it's definitely got potential and I want to be here to shepherd it through the early stages."
Shit. He knew Nate. If he knew Nate, then Nate might have mentioned her to him. And if Nate mentioned her to him, then that meant he already knew about her... her proclivities. Kelsey leaned on the bar, trying to make it look casual but definitely feeling a giddy whirl in her head that had nothing to do with the half-finished Old Fashioned she was holding. She had enough trouble keeping her wits about her around a guy like Matthew when he didn't know about her weakness for older men. If he understood just how easily he could talk her into the sack--
Months. He said he was going to be here for months. Kelsey hadn't gotten her itch scratched by a man like Matthew for months at a time since... since Nate, and that only ended when he decided to end it. If Matthew knew her secret, and if he decided to keep going with her for months at a time, she might not even be able to walk out of his bedroom by the time he was through with her. Hell, she still couldn't stop coming to Nate's parties, and that was almost four years ago now. She needed to turn and walk away immediately, or she'd be swimming in some very dangerous waters.
But the treacherous pulse of lust between Kelsey's thighs wouldn't let her go. "Won't that keep you away from your wife?" she asked, twirling a ringlet of long blonde hair between her fingers almost without realizing it. She knew Matthew didn't have a ring on his finger, and she knew he knew she knew, but the impatient throb of her clit made her want to get onto the topic of sex as quickly as possible. And flirtatious questions about a significant other always sped things along very nicely.
And sure enough, Matthew put one sun-worn hand onto Kelsey's slender forearm and said, "I'm not married. Not really attached to anyone at the moment, honestly. Lots of time on the road the last few years, I'm afraid I haven't really met a woman willing to be patient and accommodating when it comes to my lifestyle." God, he even sounded like Nate, that same blend of honey and whiskey in his voice that never failed to make Kelsey start leaking into her panties. She smiled and nodded at him, fully aware that she'd slipped past the mundane form of fascination and into the one her ex-lover knew so well.
Her only real hope at this point was that Nate hadn't told Matthew about her. He didn't always, she knew. Sometimes he just invited men to his parties and let his training do all the work. Kelsey was all too used to flinging herself at men of a certain age and a certain demeanor with wild, reckless abandon and coming home the next morning still wearing her clothes from the night before. Her friends thought she just had a type, but....
