Cindi, my fiancée, and I were in Paris on a business/pleasure trip the night I stumbled upon the adult book/video store.
After a day of business meetings, I wanted to stretch my legs and see what Paris had to offer, but Cindi begged off. "I don't feel like going out, but you go ahead. Come back and get me if you find anything interesting."
I said, "Okay," never realizing what the night would bring.
When I stepped out of the hotel into the balmy spring evening, I had no idea where I was going. I was following my feet and enjoying Paris's old-world charm when I came upon a group of stores off the main thoroughfare. I was pleasantly surprised to see one of the stores sold adult books and videos.
I went in. Small booths, like self-photo booths, lined the wall on my right. Their openings were draped in fabric. Each booth had a video screen and a fold-down seat. The area on my left consisted of an elevated platform where a good-looking young guy, somewhere twenty-five and thirty, stood behind a glass counter filled with sex toys. The wall oppositive was lined with racks of sex books and videos.
"May I help you?" the man said. His English was far better than my French.
"No, thank you, I'm just looking."
I walked around the store, looked through the books and videos, and left.
"Hope to see you again," the young man as I walked out the door.
I hurried back to the hotel and woke Cindi. "You'll never guess what I found."
Cindi sat up, stretched, and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "What?"
"A French adult video store. C'mon, get up. I want to show you."
Cindi lazily climbed from the bed, freshened her make-up, and slipped into a tan shirt dress that buttoned up the front and reached mid-thigh. She stepped into a pair of walking shoes and said, "Okay, I'm ready. How far is this store?"
"Not far."
Fifteen minutes later, we walked into the store. The same guy, reading a book, stood behind the counter. He glanced up and did a double-take when he saw Cindi. "Back for another look?"
"Yes, I wanted to show my fiancée."
"Let me know if you need any help." He emphasized 'any' and eyed Cindi as he spoke.
Cindi smiled, said, "We will," and turned away. She looked through the videos while I checked out the booths. I found a gang bang video with four guys and a big-chested blonde that looked interesting and was about to call Cindi over when I saw her talking to the counter guy. When she finished, she joined me.
"What was that all about?"
"Jacques wants to take me to the back room."
The Frenchman's action didn't surprise me. Cindi's quite well endowed, and her chocolate brown bedroom eyes speak volumes.
"What did you tell him?"
"I'd have to talk it over with you."
"What do you want to do?"
"He is cute, and it's been a while since we've done anything trippy. But… I'm not sure. Let's go outside and talk, but first, I want to give him a little show. Close the drape."
As soon as I closed the drape, Cindi unbuttoned her shirt dress. She never wears underwear, so with the buttons undone, nothing's left to the imagination.
I opened the drape and saw Jacques behind the counter, staring at our booth. I glanced down. Cindi sat facing Jacques with her legs spread and a teasing smile on her bright red lips.
Jacques's eyes were big as saucers.
When Cindi decided Jacques had seen enough, she stood and rebuttoned her dress. "We might be back," she said as we headed for the exit.
Jacques looked inconsolable.
Many of the plaza stores were closed, but an ice cream parlor and an espresso coffee shop were still doing a brisk business. We agreed it was too late for an espresso, so we settled on ice cream.
