Every seat at the bar was full, but Lila patiently nursed her club soda until the couple next to her stood up to leave. From the snippets she'd overheard, they were headed downstairs, where anyone could walk by and peruse the viewing windows into rooms where people explored their darkest desires. The chair next to Lila was barely open for a moment when she felt someone's arm brush against hers as they slid in. "Mind if I sit here?" came a smooth voice.
Lila looked to her right and saw expensive wingtips topped with tight dark jeans that revealed a promising bulge, leading up to a lightweight cashmere sweater with the sleeves pushed up to show a gleaming Patek Philippe watch. He had an expensive haircut and an unremarkable face, except for two small scars slashing through the left eyebrow. This is the one, she thought to herself, but kept her face still and let the silence stretch out a few more moments before responding, "Please do."
It was important at this stage to let him be in charge, so she gave him a shy smile and looked down at her drink, which was mostly ice at this point. Almost immediately his hand slid across the back of her chair, fingers just brushing her long dark hair and making her shiver slightly. His mouth quirked up just barely on one side, and he deliberately swept his thumb lightly along her bare shoulder, eliciting another shiver and then a trail of goosebumps. She laughed nervously but didn't try to move away, and his smile grew larger as he looked her over, noticing the plunging neckline of her white dress, barely held over her shoulders by thin straps. Her long legs crossed elegantly, and strappy sandals wound up her calves, brown leather criss-crossing over creamy skin. He caught the bartender's eye and said "Glenfiddich neat, and a glass of Cristal for the lady."
Lila preferred bourbon, but no need to rock the boat. "Thank you," she murmured when the drinks appeared, leaning close to let her breath brush his neck, and pressing her breast briefly against his chest before sitting back to wait for his next move.
"Your name, sweetheart?" He asked as he looked her over again, thinking to himself that she'd do very well for the night.
"Lila...Sir," she responded, with a pause to make sure he'd notice the honorific. She heard his quick inhale and felt his hand slide up her back to the nape of her neck, where he took a firm hold and turned her face towards him to examine her expression. Gotcha! She thought to herself.
"Lila, finish your drink. We're leaving," he murmured into her ear. Not a question. Just a statement of fact.
She didn't object or ask any questions, just took a few more sips until the glass was drained, holding herself perfectly still under his hand as he watched her throat move with each swallow. She finished the glass, set it gently down on the bar, picked up her bag, and waited for his instruction. She didn't wait long. Without moving his hand from her neck, he stood and stepped back slightly from the bar, reaching his other hand out to grasp hers and help her out of the chair. Once she stood, his hand slid from her neck, down her back, to rest with the edge of his fingers just touching where her generous curves started. She made sure to sway her hips subtly as she walked ahead of him, away from the bar and out of the dimly lit club.
Neither spoke as they waited for the valet, or during the short drive to his place. A room at the club would have been safer, but he didn't offer and Lila didn't suggest it. Let him proceed exactly as he wished. She had a good idea of where the evening was heading, but still felt a thrill of anticipation to see it unfold. His hand rested on her knee as he drove, fingers teasing the sensitive inner skin, and she squeezed her thighs together before sliding them a few inches apart, giving him access to whatever he might want. Feeling the motion, he glanced over briefly, then gave her a firmer squeeze.
As they walked up to his door, Lila clenched her teeth, then gave a nervous laugh and murmured, "I don't usually do this."
He glanced at her face briefly, and then after unlocking the door, turned to her and drew her in for a gentle kiss. One hand slid around to the back of her neck and the other to the small of her back, holding her completely still while he pressed his lips to hers, then over each of her closed eyes. He leaning her back and pressed kisses down her neck. So romantic, she thought as she surrendered to his touch. Finally he turned them and began moving, walking her backwards through the doorway as he kissed the sensitive skin beneath her jaw. When she opened her eyes, they were inside his house with the door closed. He gently brushed his fingers down the side of her face and said, "We'll have another drink, help you relax."
"Yes, please," she agreed. As he led her through the entryway, she glanced around, noting several luxurious couches and a single sturdy armchair positioned around a low ottoman in the center of the spacious sunken living room. He led her to the ottoman and took both of her hands in his. "Sit here, Lila, and wait for me."
She nodded and began to sink down but he didn't release her hands, halting her movement. When she glanced up she saw an expectant look on his face and his eyebrows slightly raised. What had she missed? Oh. "Yes, Sir," she said respectfully, and he nodded approval before finally releasing her hands to let her sink down.
He poured himself another scotch and mixed her a vodka tonic, bringing it over to the living room. Lila sat completely still, waiting for instruction.
Perfect. She's absolutely perfect, he thought to himself. As he held the highball glass out towards her, she obediently reached up to take it, but he pushed past her hand and pressed the icy glass directly against the thin fabric covering her breast, eliciting a small gasp. That was the only sound she made, even as he slid the glass up and down, teasing her nipple which had instantly hardened, and turning the white fabric translucent so that when he moved the glass away, her reddened, jutting nipple was clearly visible even through her dress. Pleased with her acceptance, he moved the glass up to her lips and held it there for her to drink, tilting back further when she tried to lean away, letting some of the icy liquid slide down her chin. He watched it drip down to her chest, and imagined other drips sliding down her cheeks and throat.
