It was an unexpected meeting in the bar of a beachside resort. I was sitting at a table near the window, dipping into my magazine as I slowly sipped my chilled white wine. He was standing by the bar, a tall glass of lager in his hand. It was so obvious he was looking in my direction.
I hadn’t realised that I was smiling to myself as I read an article on first-time romances. I bit the edge of my lip and looked up at him. He nodded and smiled at me. I raised my eyebrows and smiled back.
“Interesting read?” He asked.
I shook my head and took a sip of wine.
“Mind if I join you?”
“Please do,” I motioned to the seat next to me.
He took the stool opposite me, threading his left foot and leg between mine as he sat down.
The conversation was bright, open and relaxed. We skipped through numerous topics until we settled on one which caused him to be overtly energetic with his arms. As it happened, it was one of my favourite topics too, which led to quite an animated time.
“You’re very beautiful,” he remarked as the conversation drew to a halt.
“Thank you,” I flicked my eyebrows up and down and smiled at his lovely remark. His eyes were gleaming in the fractured light from the window.
I hadn’t realised that his hand was stroking my thigh just above the knee. He must have been doing that for more than thirty seconds before I noticed the feel of his soft fingertips as they started stroking higher. His other hand was cradling my knee on the inside of my thigh. I looked down at them and then back into his eyes.
He braved it out and I let him get away with it.
“You have a soft touch,” I said.
He nodded before thanking me. I took a sip of my wine and wallowed in the soft caresses on my thigh. We started on another conversation; one that involved sex. He made light work of it and it was I that was stalling and not following his innuendoes. But I kept looking into his eyes and smiling at him; even giggling to myself at times at his suggestive words.
I hadn’t realised his left hand was up inside my dress stroking my thigh and his fingers were just touching the wetness that was soaking my panties. I felt myself take shallow breaths as I listened to him talk. A small part of me wanted him to push the panties to one side and slip a finger into me, but the other part of me was scolding him for being so brazen.
I couldn’t believe I had let his hand get so far underneath my skirt or the fact that I liked the feel of his hand being there. I picked up my glass and to his astonishment, I downed it in one go. My mind made up.
