It was finally the weekend. Surely she would see him in the Square tonight. Without a doubt. Dee smiled to herself as she sat before her vanity, considering her look for the evening. She really only had four options in this seaside resort town; she could go as a local beach rat, a tourist, a Goth or a skate punk. The Goth look was just not an option with her long blond curls, and she could never stay on a skateboard more than two seconds. Three tops. And a beach rat would never hold his attention for long. Very well then, she smiled, tourist it is.
Dee pulled her long curls back into a loose braid and applied a little mascara to her already dark lashes. Lipstick, too, was a necessity for her plan. The dark wine color made her lips look ripe for the taking. Perfume? Dee wriggled slightly where she sat. She was aroused just thinking of him, and that was all the fragrance she needed.
Going to her closet, she chose a sleeveless black top and a matching cover-up that tied at one hip and fell to just above her knees. Dee stepped into sexy sandals and headed for the door.
"No," she thought, "not yet." With a wicked grin, Dee slid her panties off and tossed them back into her bedroom. NOW she was ready.
The Square was only a couple of blocks from her apartment, and she walked eagerly, enjoying the smell of the ocean on the evening breeze, moving among the other people still milling about. She found a seat at a restaurant and ordered a glass of wine. Dee sipped thoughtfully as her eyes scanned the crowd. Where would he be tonight? There was a crowd around the street performer, who only moved when a dollar was put in his jar, but it was the usual lot of tourists. A pack of Goth kids stood across the way, looking surly and misunderstood in their baggy dark clothes, facial piercings and eyeliner.
"Ahhh, there he is," Dee smiled into her wine. Behind the kids, between two shops, moonlight traced the stirring of his too-black hair. She quivered with barely suppressed excitement, looked away, then back at him again. And was rewarded with a quick flash of his smoldering eyes as they reflected the light back at her. If she had blinked, she would have missed it. If she had not been looking for it, she would have dismissed it without a second thought. Well, SHE wouldn't have.
Dee stared at the shadow between the shops and very deliberately crossed her legs, purring to herself as the cover-up parted to reveal her entire thigh and hip. Again, his eyes burned in the darkness, and she did not look away. He stepped partially from shadows, and she licked her lips before taking a sip of wine, her heart hammering.
"By the Gods above and below," Dee whispered, "you are GORGEOUS." A slow smile stretched his full lips as he watched her watching him, and almond shaped eyes burned like fire above high cheekbones as he stepped back into the shadows.
"That's my cue," she muttered, her eyes not leaving his form. She took a last sip of wine, tucked a folded bill beneath the glass and stood. She could feel him calling her to him and quivered. Dee passed through the crowd and headed for the shadow where he had been, moving between the shops and down the sandy path to the beach. She didn't have to see him, he pulled her forward as surely as if he had her in his grasp. He was leaning against one of the pilings of the pier, his waist-length black hair moving in the sea breeze as if it were a wild thing.
"Looking for someone?" His rich chocolate voice actually made her knees weak.
"No," Dee said, stepping boldly within reach. "Looking for you."
She was nearly lost in his dark laughter as he took her face in his hands and bent to kiss her. Had he always been that tall? That strong? That overwhelmingly demandingly sexual? She melted against his hard, lean body, moaning as he devoured her mouth with his lips and tongue, her hands clutching ineffectively at his swirling hair.
Dee was gasping for breath, trying to regain her balance-was the ground spinning? He had moved back enough to look down at her, smiling that deliciously hungry smile.
"And what did you expect, once you had found me?"
There, the merest trace of the accent that she hadn't been able to place before. But now she could finally see the beautiful Asian planes of his face. She had been so entranced by the sound of his voice, it took a moment to understand his question.
Dee grinned up at him. "Everything, of course."
His hand was beneath her skirt, clutching her newly shaved pussy, one finger teasing. "Absolutely everything?"
She couldn't help but moan and thrust against his hand.
"And shall I take you here, in view of the tourists, or did you have another place in mind?"
Dee watched as he licked her juices from his hand. "Yes... I mean, I have a place."
His arm went around her waist, guiding her back toward the crowd, the lights, and the noise. His fingers were teasing her bare hip, and she could feel his dark laughter every time his touch made her lose her balance. He was such a bastard.
"I? But were you not LOOKING for me?"
Dee thought that for a moment the sound of his voice alone would make her climax. She looked at him with lust-glazed eyes before starting up the stairs to her place, knowing he would follow the sway of her hips, hoping he would wait until they were inside the apartment.
Inside, he was a shadow amongst the shadows again, his hair finally still around his shoulders. He watched her light a dozen or so tall hurricane candles, his eyes reflecting the flames.
