Andi looked at the door to the men's washroom, her plan to burst through the door without hesitation abandoned. She took a deep breath and leaned into the door. Very white, was her first thought. McLaren was nowhere in sight. She took another step forward, and felt him come up behind her. She could smell his aftershave.
"No talking for now. Only listening and doing. Understand?" he whispered.
She nodded. His hand circled the back of her neck again, and he guided her to the last stall, the largest. Once inside, he locked it and turned her to face him. Her back was against the door.
"Look at me" McLaren said. She was. "Your eyes don't leave mine, not for any reason. Clear?" She nodded her assent. Her mouth was dry.
"You are going to remove your clothes. All of them. " He paused for a beat. "Start now."
She should, she knew, have expected this or something like it, but she was surprised just the same. Her blouse, which buttoned up the front, was first. Her neck flamed with embarrassment and anger. When the blouse was in her hand and he had a view of her plain white bra, she paused.
"There's a hook behind you, but don't stop looking at me, he said." She felt for it, looking at him for some sign, any reaction. Hanging the blouse, she reached around back for the zipper on her tan skirt. She stepped out of it, careful not to drag it on the floor. She could not have felt more dowdy in her underwear, pantyhose, and brown short heels. Even so, she knew that her nipples were contracted and that she was wetβshe could just tell. And that made her even more embarrassed.
She shrugged out of her bra straps, spun the bra around so that the hook was in the front, and undid it. She liked her breasts, and she watched him looking at her, wondering what he thought. He moved towards her for the first time. He brushed his knuckles over her nips, making them even harder. And then he took each nipple between the knuckles of his fingers and began to squeeze. Her hands were balled into fists at her sides. Her eyes flickered shut. Suddenly there was a hand on her throat, firm, gripping. Her eyes flew open.
"Eyes on me, remember?" he said. She nodded.
The hand returned to her nipple. Pressure increased slowly, and he twisted a little. A fire burned in her core, part humiliation, part anger, part frustration, part pure need. She shifted from side to side a little, and made a little noise. One hand left one nipple and snaked behind her head, tangling in her hair. He tightened his grip on her hair and the nipple at the same time he leaned in for a kiss.
His assault on her mouth was deep and needy and violent. When he pulled away, she realized that she had been kissing him back. And that she was panting. He pulled away and stepped back.
"The rest, please." She stepped out of her shoes, shimmied out of her pantyhose and panties, and looked at him. "This is going to be a very interesting month", he said.
