It was a Saturday night and I was preparing to go out with a group of friends. Among them was Cara, a women I'd been friends with for four years. She's nineteen and although she has an incredibly beautiful face perfect eyes and a gorgeous smile I'd never been attracted to her simply because she was a 'larger' woman. I guess I was more affected by cultural stereotypes than I'd realised. Like a lot of bigger women, she wore baggy clothes that hid her body.
However, that Saturday night she had a bag slung over her shoulder. The strap angled down between her breasts and the weight of the bag meant that her top was pulled tight over the contours of her body. Looking at her that night, I had an epiphany. Lust surged through me as I was transfixed by the sight of her big breasts jutting out.
As we played pool that night, I flirted with her openly. We always had quite a playful relationship, so I made sure she knew something was different. I kept moving my body against hers and eventually she certainly noticed. As the evening drew to a close, I offered her a ride home and she gratefully accepted. When we got to her house, on a quiet street, we parked under a tree and began to talk. After about half an hour of chit-chat, the conversation turned to love, lust and sex. We talked about our recent relationships and the way we both couldn't seem to find someone decent.
"It's harder for me though," she said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Look at me," she said, a trifle bitterly.
"You're beautiful, Cara," I told her.
"Just my face? Or my body too?"
"Well," I said hesitantly, "I can say your face with certainty. But I've only caught glimpses of your body. And I've gotta say, those glimpses leave me wanting more."
"Really?" she said, a touch of color creeping into her face.
I told her about how I'd felt when I'd seen her top stretched over her body, the instant rush of desire that had overwhelmed me. She still didn't seem convinced, so I leaned over and kissed her. She responded with such passion I was surprised. She later told me that she'd wanted me for a while before that night, and in the lust that was released in that first kiss, I saw that.
