come today? Was it fate or mere coincidence for me to see this
attractive young man just seconds after I made a silent declaration to overcome
my crippling prudishness?
No,
I didn’t think it was coincidence at all. In fact, I knew exactly what I had to
do. This was a test, and one in which I had to ace.
As
I slid the back door open, I reached up and tugged on the clip in my hair,
letting it fall to the sides of my face. I walked across the patio and when I
neared Derrick, he turned around to greet me again.
I
noticed the lines on the side of his abdomen, the really sexy ones that only
show up on men with absolutely no body fat. They tapered inwards as they worked
their way down, as if pointing me along the path.
“What’s
going on, Lana?” he said.
“Hey
there, Derrick,” I said, trying my best to sound natural and not nervous all at
the same time.
“I
came a day early because I’m trying to get off a little early tomorrow,” he
said.
She
almost laughed. Using the words “came” and “get off” in the same sentence when
she was planning on seducing him. This was too rich. In fact, it almost took
her out of the mindset that she had put herself in. Still she pressed on.
“It’s
no trouble, Derrick,” I said. “I’m flexible.”
His
expression changed, and that alarmed me. I really didn’t mean the last line to
come out like that, but it did, and there was no way of taking that back now.
“I’m
almost done,” he said. “I can be out of your way in just a few minutes if you
want to swim.”
“I
was thinking of going for a swim,” I said. “Do you want to join me?”
“I
probably shouldn’t,” he said.
“Nonsense,”
I smiled. “My kids are at school and it gets lonely here all by myself. It
would be nice to have some company for once.”
“If
I swim, then my truck seats will get wet,” he said.
“Then
take them off.”
“What?”
he asked. His face was morphing between mortified and intrigued. I knew that he
was trying to figure me out, as to whether or not I was actually trying to
seduce him.
“Go
swimming without your trunks. I’ve already seen you naked.”
“That
would be a little weird.”
“What
if I swam naked, too?”
His
jaw dropped so far I could see the back of his mouth. He also dropped his pool
net onto the concrete.
“Are
you being serious?” he asked. I noticed that his hands were reaching for the
string that held his bathing suit up.
“I
don’t say things I don’t mean,” I said as I took a step towards him.
He
finally relented and I knew that I had him. He took two steps towards me, and
the next thing I knew, we were kissing.
It
was madness all over again. The animalistic fury that Greg and I had shared was
now duplicated in my backyard. The two of us shared a hunger for one another’s
company, one another’s pleasure, that we were moments away from tearing each
other part.
He
slid my shirt over my head. Since I wasn’t wearing a bra, my breasts were
exposed. Normal me would have shrieked and ran away, but the new me didn’t
care. His strong hands gripped by breasts as his tongue continued to probe my
mouth. I could feel him pulling away slightly, and I knew that he wanted to go
lower.
However,
I held him in place for a moment. I still had to get rid of his bathing suit.
My hands touched the string that held it in place, and I could already feel the
tip of him protruding out of the top of the suit. So much for warming up, I
thought.
I
tugged the string and then shoved his suit to the ground. I took a step back
and surveyed him. Even though I had just seen him naked recently, it was a new
experience in my new frame of mind. A bronzed god stood before me, erect and
waiting for my command. Less than twenty four hours ago, I had been a helpless
victim in the game of love, and standing there with Derrick, I became someone
in charge of my own love life.
Instead
of going to him again, I removed my shorts and then dove into the pool. I made
sure
