This was it.
Who would have thought that reading an article in a magazine about a website would lead to this moment? I took another look in the mirror at myself and smoothed a hand over the imaginary wrinkles in my dress.
I'd met him through the message board of a site I had become hooked on after reading an article on it. Our casual friendship had taken a decidedly erotic and sensual turn after approximately a month of chatting every night. I loved the flirting, but knew my new friend Hunter was engaged. He had told me about his fiancée – a seemingly nice albeit self-absorbed woman named Kate. Every little disagreement they had would be laid in my lap to analyze and dissect and then give Ann Landers-like advice to. On a few occasions, Hunter would say things like, "Maybe I should just ditch Kate and come for you." I didn't think it was a big deal however, since I was living in California and he was halfway across the country in Chicago.
When we first "met," I was dating a man named Ryan, but that relationship fell apart. I was extremely head-strong and career focused, and Ryan couldn't accept that. I did want to meet and settle down with someone, but it seemed that most men were intimidated by my good looks and strong personality. I suppose I just hadn't found a man that was worth compromising my career for. As if it wasn't hard enough to find single, attractive, successful, straight men in San Francisco!
From the start, we seemed to have a lot in common. Hunter and I were both smart asses. Our conversations were never lacking in humor, as we both cracked each other up at every opportunity. He'd tease me for being gullible, and I'd mock him for being so easily susceptible to my charm. We both loved sports, booze, and music, among a variety of other things. He and I would discuss anything from the Chicago Bears versus San Francisco 49ers rivalry of the eighties (seeing as how the each team was our respective favorite), to current events (both in the world and in each of our lives), to politics, religion, and of course, sex. He would tell me that I was the perfect woman because, "I was cool like a guy, but with the sex appeal of a stripper." Hunter and I were both extremely ambitious and hard workers to boot. At twenty-seven, I was the head of public relations for my favorite NFL team, while Hunter was the Regional Training Director for a software company at twenty-nine. I never thought I'd find an engineer who was so funny and genuine and down to earth until I befriended Hunter! We were both working our dream jobs, which was another reason why I didn't get my hopes up about Hunter and I ever having a relationship.
One night, while enjoying a casual phone conversation, Hunter told me about his plans to come out to California. He had been promoted and was going to be in Los Angeles for 3 weeks, training some of the new management personnel for his company. Although I was living in San Francisco, I figured if he went all that way to see me, the least I could do was make the effort the rest of the way! My heart started racing at the news, but I kept my cool – after all he was engaged, and we had never met before. But his words, baritone and rich, replayed in my head.
"Maybe I should just ditch Kate and come for you."
Actually making the flight reservations had been a big commitment in my head. Boarding the plane gave me unbelievable jitters in my stomach that had nothing to do with the flight and everything to do with meeting this man for the first time. Since we were not in season and hadn't even started training camp for my team, I was able to sneak away to LA for a week. I figured that if Hunter and I didn't seem to get along as we did over IM or on the phone, I could always just have fun visiting friends from my college days at UCLA.
Fast forward to the here and now.
For what seemed to be the hundredth time in five minutes, I brushed my hand over my dress. Focusing my face on the mirror, I narrowed my eyes and studied my reflection. My long, dark, curly hair was hanging loosely around my bronzed face, brushing over my shoulders. The tight black tube dress had been a good selection, I thought with a smile, as I adjusted the silver chain belt that emphasized my 38D breasts and curvy hips.
Finally, a smile came to my lips as I decided I was ready. We planned on meeting at the bar in the hotel. I figured it would be a good escape if we seemed to have no chemistry in person. Glancing around briefly, I noticed that Hunter had not yet arrived. Breathing deeply, I sat at the bar and ordered a French Martini.
As I sat toying with the fruit garnish the bartender put in my drink, I heard a voice whisper in my ear, "Hey gorgeous!" I whirled around and jumped off the barstool, flinging my arms around his neck in glee. With my curvaceous body pressed tightly against him, I felt his smooth sinewy muscles rippling under me. I inwardly shivered at the pleasant sensations that caused, as I noticed my nipples hardening in anticipation. I eyed him shyly and was stunned that he was even sexier in person.
"I was beginning to think you were never gonna get here!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, well would I leave you high and dry? More like low and wet." he responded with a snicker.
We sat together at the bar and talked for hours. Hunter and I each had one too many drinks, and in no time we were laughing like children. At one point I burst into laughter at our funny situation and reached over to touch Hunter's hand to get his attention. He suddenly sobered at my gentle, perfumed touch as our eyes locked again, but for what seemed to be the first time.
My breath caught in my throat as his green eyes studied my exotic face and swept down my graceful neck to the soft skin of my cleavage. Liquor had always made me giddy and playful, but being drunk and sitting next to Hunter made me incredibly horny. I could feel the heat start to intensify in my pussy, as my tiny g-string panties started to dampen at the crotch.
Shaking the drunken cobwebs from my head, I rose from my seat and swayed precariously.
"Are you ok?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I replied with a sheepish grin. "I guess I had just over my limit, eh?"
"Well screw going out on the town…I'll walk to back up to your room and we can just hang out and watch a movie or something, ok?"
