Jenny stumbled out of the club. She’d had a bit too much to drink and couldn’t face the long walk home. Her usual plan was to get whichever guy she’d copped off with to pay for the taxi home but the guy she’d ended up with tonight had disappeared and come back smelling of drink and vomit. The stains on his shirt ensured there was no way he was going anywhere near her.
This did however present a problem. Jenny had spent the last of her money on drinks over an hour ago and with no bloke on her arm to make sure she got home safely, she was all alone.
Still, she was nothing if not resourceful and as a taxi with its light still on came down the street, she stepped forward and raised her hand. Jenny knew the streets would be full as soon as the clubs emptied and she could be left waiting for hours.
To her relief, the driver spotted her and swung the cab around in a graceful arc to pull up alongside her. She opened the back door and hopped in, slumping back into the seat once she’d given her address to the driver.
She stared at the driver in the rear-view mirror, waiting until he made eye contact with her before she slowly licked her lips. She saw him swallow and look away. She kept looking at him, knowing it wouldn't be long. It wasn’t. He was middle-aged and slowly going to seed, wisps of greying hair around the temples. His eyes flicked back.
She leant forward in her seat, knowing he could see down the low-cut top of her dress. She pressed her upper arms against the outside of her boobs to accentuate her cleavage. She saw the eyes flicker downwards.
“Are you busy tonight?”
She smirked inwardly as she asked the universal opening gambit of any conversation with a taxi driver.
“Aye, not too bad,” he responded. “Starting to pick up now with the clubs closing.”
She nodded sagely, letting one shoulder strap slide off her shoulder. The black lace of her bra was now visible. She saw him visibly swallow.
She opened her legs. The dress was so short the hem was already hugging the top of her thighs. The white panties flashed in the darkness of the rear of the cab. She could have sworn the taxi gave a slight lurch as he lost control for a second.
“I hope you don’t mind, I was in a bit of bother there. I’m really glad you came along when you did?”
“Really, what happened?”
The hint of concern in his voice was mixed with something throatier like he was trying to control himself.
“Yeah, I got grabbed but luckily I got away. I managed to get out onto the street and saw you coming.”
“Are you hurt?”
“No, it’s just he managed to grab my purse.”
