Nothing.
This morning, the reaction had been almost immediate; now, no additional sensation whatsoever. I squeezed a tiny bit more of the gel onto my finger and began to lubricate my inner lips, the area between my inner and outer lips.
Still no sensation. In fact, my irritation at the lack of sensation was beginning to negate all the built-up tension, all the anticipation that had grown during the afternoon and evening.
I squeezed out a larger dollop and decided that even if the gel no longer had any magical qualities, it would serve quite well as a personal lubricant. I began to relax again and get into the moment as I teased my clit out of its hood, circling it with my lubed finger.
"Unchained Melody" from "Ghost" was the backdrop to my self-love. Although my natural lubrication was already beginning to suffice, I took a little more gel and ran my finger around the entrance to my vagina, pulling at times, applying pressure then lightly brushing. I traced the outside of my lips where they met my thighs, then the inside of my outer lips, moving to my inner lips and up and around my hood. Then back down, to that little area between vulva and anus.
"Ma-ah-y love..."
The phone rang. The moment was lost. I didn’t fall off the mountain with release, I simply found myself back at the base of the mountain. I ignored the phone, but it rang insistently. Picking it up, I was ready to tell whoever it was on the line to go fuck him/her self when I heard these words.
“You didn’t follow instructions.” Click. Dial tone.
My spine was no longer tingling with desire. Fear replaced the need. Fear and anger mixed. I was ready to fling the phone across the room.
As I stood there, phone in hand, however, the gel began to work. Not with the explosiveness of that morning in the airplane lavatory, but it was definitely beginning to work. It was a subtle glow that began at various parts of my body, erogenous zones and zones that were now erogenous despite their original purpose.
Despite my fear, despite my irritation at the phone interruption, my irritation with all my arrangements for the evening, my body was again beginning to respond. My skin flushed, my breathing became deeper and more insistent, a flush was extending from my cheeks down my neck onto my chest.
My pussy was coming to life. Slowly, the warmth began to grow, the sensations of need to be filled, of need for touch, were there at the edge of my consciousness.
But the sexual need was warring with my growing anger at … at whoever, whatever had given me that gel. No, not at having given me the gel but for having put those stupid restrictions on it and for the intrusion into my personal life, my privacy, that the note that accompanied the gel, and the phone call, too, had made.
I wasn’t going to be taken by the gel, no matter the pleasure it promised. I strode into the bathroom, turned on the cold water, and stepped in. I directed the handheld shower head at my face, my breasts, my pussy, sputtering and cursing the woman in the stall who handed me the gel, whoever it was that had developed it.
