James Hunt was a successful man. He made fought his way through the bramble of people calling themselves photographers and found his place in the world of fashion photography. At a mere 29 years old, he lived in a beautiful flat in North London, appointed with designer furniture and all things nice. He even had a small collection of reasonably impressive art adorning his walls.
However, James was sitting alone at a dimly lit bar not far from the Angel tube station. It was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night—only a quiet old man at the other end of the bar and a young couple languidly dancing to the overly produced music playing over the speakers. Being alone at a bar on a Friday night was a rarity for James. He usually found himself at a party or out and about with a large group of fashionable people. This night, though, his long-term girlfriend had run off on him earlier in the night at a gala they were both attending. So James was trying to get his mind off things with some quiet drinks alone.
James couldn't help but notice when someone new entered the bar—a woman of commanding presence. She wasn't tall, about 5'4" by James' guess, but she commanded the room as she entered. She had a close, asymmetrical cut on her dark crimson hair, lush green eyes, and a striking, angular face, and luscious lips covered in an almost black lipstick. She wore a shimmering black dress that hugged and showed off her delicate curves. Her dress had a long slit up the side, showing off her toned, stocking-clad legs, that ended in pumps of a crimson that matched her hair. James made a living photographing gorgeous women and didn't often find himself awestruck, but he could not take his eyes of this woman as she sashayed directly towards him.
"Are you James Hunt?" She said as she arrived in front of him. She spoke quietly, but confidently and with the slightest hint of a French accent—it could have been Swiss.
James raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised that this gorgeous woman knew who he was.
"Well yes, I am. And you are?" He said slowly extending his hand towards her.
"My name is Eleanora. I was at the gala this evening, and I was absolutely taken by your work. I felt I just needed to meet you. I tried desperately to find you there, but you left before I could. Someone told me I may be able to find you here."
James reluctantly withdrew his hand from hers, noticing the perfectly manicured, crimson nails as he did. He was intoxicated by the mysterious woman. James smirked to himself, there were only a few people that would know to find him at this particular bar, and even fewer that this stunning Eleanora would have had the chance to encounter. Quickly, James realized he was staring at this woman, dumbfounded. Regaining his wits, he added, "I am quite flattered that you would leave what was seemingly a lovely gala to come find me." He looked at her tremendously elegant black dress. "I can only assume you were at the gala..."
"Oh, of course I was, but I found myself uncontrollably bored after I couldn't find you," She glided towards him slightly. James' nostrils flared as he caught her scent, it was intoxicating—earthy, with a hint of citrus and flowers.
James was completely overwhelmed by this vision named Eleanora in front of him. He felty like he never had in front of any woman, clothed, naked, fucking, or otherwise. Her look, her smell, her mere presence was intoxicating- much more so than the glass of cold gin in front of him that he had mostly forgotten about since she arrived.
"James, my dear, this bar we're in," she looked around dismayed, "it's dreadful. Would you like to accompany me somewhere more...intimate?" Her deep green eyes locked with his. "Yes," was the only response which James could manage.
She quickly turned and headed for the door. She strode effortlessly on very high heels. After watching her perfectly shaped ass glide up and down behind the silk of her dress, JAmes pulled out his wallet, threw a tenner on the bar, and quickly followed her out.
The sun had long set, but the air outside the bar was still warm, and the predicted rain had held off. "Should I head up to the high street and find us a cab?" James offered. THe bar was in a bit of a back street, and a black cab was unlikely to be traversing here.
"No need," Eleanora said casually as she walked around the hood of a deep red Ferrari and opened the driver's door. It was an old car, but in perfect condition, and very sexy. James thought it may be 250 California from the early 60's, but he couldn't tell for sure. He dropped low into the passenger seat as the engine roared to life, and Eleanora began them soaring through the small side streets of North London, winding their way south. Neither of them spoke along the ride, the open top and the twelve cylinder engine proved to be too loud. James savored the sensations of of the warm air whipping past, sitting next to this goddess of a woman driving.
After about twenty minutes, by some miracle they had not encountered any traffic. It was 10 o'clock on a friday night, through the more happening parts of London, and they should have hit gridlock after gridlock. James was beginning to think there was something beyond normal about this woman, but he didn't care. Eleanora threw the car sharply around a corner, and down into an underground car park. She turned the engine off, hopped out of the car, and headed towards the elevator without a word. James tagged behind her again. The Elevator carried the two silently and quickly upwards. The doors opened into a sweeping flat—modern furniture and fine art graced its walls and floors, and massive windows provided sweeping views of the city.
