Being in a new town, I needed a night out at the wildest place that I could find. My nerves were on edge because I had a job interview the next evening.
ComTrec, one of the worlds' most rapidly expanding computer companies was hiring a new Vice President of IT. I thought it was awful strange, interviewing for a job at 7:00 at night, but they told me the owner worked odd hours and that it was the only time that he could fit me in. They were very interested in me. Their former Vice President had left the company without notice. His loss, my gain. I hoped and prayed that I would get this job. It could set me up for the rest of my life.
I decided on a neat looking little club called "Gotham". It was the only place in this damn town that didn't look like a "dirty old man" bar, and I could hear the music from the street - my favorite, tribal techno.
I entered the club without reservation and took a seat at the bar. Everything was black, even the walls. It donned on me by looking at the decorum and looking at the surrounding patrons that this was a gothic club. Thank God I had decided on wearing all black out tonight. I fit right in.
I was on my third Bombay Sapphire Gin and Tonic. I was lost in thought, thinking about the interview and thinking about how long it had been since I had sex. I didn't even mind when the stranger sat down next to me put his hand on my thigh-high encased knee and slowly ran it up to my bare inner thigh. His fingers were hot, damp, very manly, and seeming to melt my flesh down to the bone. I couldn't have timed my first wearing ever of thigh-highs more perfect. Already feeling no pain, I took a long sip from my glass and leaned over towards his stool.
"I like to at least know the names of the men that run their hands up my legs, before I ever consider fucking them." I whispered into his ear.
"Bodaway" he replied as he turned to me and burnt my soul with his piercing eyes.
"I prefer first names."
"It is my first name. It is ancient Native American It means 'fire-starter'".
That explained his waist length, black hair that looked as if it were freshly ironed. I didn't really notice him before that moment. He seemed to blend in with the rest of the gothic crowd. His skin, like fine leather, was devoid of any flaws, whatsoever. I nearly came just looking at what very soon, I hoped, I would have on top of me.
"Interesting. You have certainly started my fire already Bodaway."
"Please, call me Bodi. Everyone whom I know intimately does. What shall I call you?"
"Intimately? Well, in that case, I am Caitie, spelled C-A-I-T-I-E. It is Irish"
"What does it mean?"
"From what I understand, it means 'pure'."
"I hope that your name is deceiving. My cock is about to rip through my jeans if I don't have you very soon."
"Well, Bodi, where shall we go? I am new in town and my place is sort of a mess right now."
"I am more of a nature person Caitie. Trust me."
The way that he said the word "trust" held me captive. I stared into his eyes again. Something commanded me to believe him.
"Please, lead the way."
Bodi stood to escort me from Gotham. He was quite taller than he appeared to be sitting on the bar stool. Before I got up, I gave him a thorough once-over. His long legs, encased in the dark, form-fitting denim called out to be kissed and caressed. His wide chest was quite noticeable under the white, silky shirt, as was a rather large gold pendant that I was unable to determine in shape.
"After you Caitie" he said as he held his lengthy arm out beside me. I smoothed my short black skirt and lifted my purse from the back of the bar stool. As I walked by him, I brushed up against the large bulge in the from of his pants. This would be an evening that I desperately needed.
Outside, the wind was picking up. There was a smell of dampness in the air, but upon looking up, a clear night sky with what seemed to be billions of stars.
"It is going to rain" Bodi stated with some authority.
"There isn't a cloud in the sky!"
"I can smell it. It is all around us. It is in my blood to know these things."
"OK, so it is going to rain. I am a little horny here Bodi and I would really like to get going".
I ran my hand down his chest, stopping for a lingering moment on the waistband of his jeans.
"We'll take my car, it is faster."
Bodi lead me to his car, a black foreign sports model with all of the gadgets and optional instrument clusters on the interior. The upholstery was black leather. Everything around me seemed to be that same wonderful shade of black. An omen, perhaps?
"Get in Caitie, the rain is coming and I don't want to miss it."
"I hope that the rain isn't the only thing coming soon."
Riding in the car, I watched as he shifted from one gear to the next with precision. I removed my gaze from him and pulled down the visor so as to use the vanity mirror. The glossy sheen of my red lipstick felt like satin on my full mouth. My smoky-hued eyes bore the resemblance of a mysterious being, intent on seeing all that the world had to offer. I lit a cigarette and took a long drag while using the other hand to make sure that every shoulder-length Auburn strand was in place.
"You need not worry how you look Caitie. It won't matter in a little while." As if on cue, a few raindrops danced across the tinted (black, of course) windshield.
"I'll be damned..." Bodi glanced in my direction and showed the nearly demonic grin that he had given me in Gotham. God, I could not wait much longer.
He reached towards the CD player in the dashboard. Turning it on, he pushed in the CD that protruded from the wafer-thin opening. Suddenly, the interior reverberated with the exotic thumping rhythm of tribal techno, the same that had been playing in the club.
"Interesting music. It is my favorite."
"The music isn't the only thing that is going to be interesting tonight."
Fifteen minutes later, we pulled onto a wooded stretch of road. We drove up a hill into a row of trees. The rain was pouring the proverbial "buckets". Bodi stopped the car at the top of the tree-lined ridge. He left the music thumping and the headlights on.
"Get out" he ordered firmly.
"Yes sir" I replied and opened the car door. I slipped one leg out of the door and was instantly covered by a sheet of raindrops. If felt so cold, but yet so good. I swung my other leg out and pulled myself into the weather. I turned to watch Bodi do the same.
