As he neared Gordon’s house on the Saturday evening before Halloween, Matt noticed a tall female wearing a Batwoman outfit approaching from the opposite direction.

“Evening, Batwoman. You here for Gordon’s party?”

“Uh, yeah, I am, Batman. It looks like we planned this, doesn’t it?”

“Sure does. We could even be a couple and they’d never know it.”

“Let’s! Let’s pretend we’re together and fool everyone. I’m, er, I’m Emily.”

“Matt.”

“So, our story is we met at the costume shop yesterday, had a drink together last night and decided to come together now.”

“Quick and easy story and if we’ve just met, they can’t be grilling us about each other.”

“Great,” she answered as she slid her hand in his before he rang the doorbell.

“Come on in. Welcome!” said the Sasquatch host Gordon, “Jenn and I were wondering when you’d show up, Matt.”

“Right on time, like always. Uh, I’d like to introduce you to Emily. Emily, this is Gordon, a real PIA if there was ever one, but he’ll grow on you if you don’t throw a drink in his face first.”

“Aww, come on, Matt. I’m not that bad.”

“Probably not, or at least you wouldn’t be married to a saint. Where’s Jenn, anyway?”

“In the kitchen with some of the other girls.”

“Maybe I should introduce you around. How many couples are here tonight, anyway?”

“Four, plus now you two make five.”

“Good. Emily, let me introduce you to them and don’t worry, there won’t be a quiz at the end of the evening.”

“Glad to hear it.”

“Since I don’t know you,” he whispered as they moved through the living room, “I’ll introduce you to everyone even though I’m sure you know some of them.”

In the kitchen and later in the living room, he was able to introduce her to everyone. When asked how they met, they kept to their simple and short story of meeting at the costume shop.

“Such a neat idea you two coming as Batman and Batwoman.”

“Yeah, you two look darling together,” said Jenn, dressed in the world’s tiniest cheerleader outfit. “Emily, I see you’ve got brown eyes but what color is your hair under that mask.”

“Oh, a light brunette, I guess. I put in some streaks, sometimes.”

“I’d love to see it. Slip your mask off and…”

“Nope. No can do.”

“Aww.”

Matt spoke up, mainly to change the subject. “She’s right about the color, so you’re not missing anything. Come on, Emily, let me buy you a drink.”

Once each had a glass of wine, they circulated and eventually talked with every costume-clad guest. The atmosphere was light and friendly, so much so that Matt nearly forgot he had no idea about who he was with. Fortunately, he was able to relax with the strange woman at his side.

Matt was a techie working at one of the bigger startups in the community. He had been dumped by his long-term girlfriend several months prior and had recently moved to town for a new job and to get ‘back out there,’ as Gordon had recommended. Matt figured Gordon had set up the chance meeting with Emily and was willing to pretend they knew each other though he had no idea who she was or even what she looked like.

But he found himself attracted to her. She obviously had a nice figure, something which seemed to be emphasized by the skin-tight Batwoman costume. Her breasts appeared generous but not huge, her belly was flat and her hips gave her a nice hourglass look. And she had an ass to die for. Although her head was half covered with her mask, her brown eyes drew him to her and her cute lips, accentuated with deep red lipstick, seemed to beg for a kiss.

After an hour or so, Jenn announced dinner which was served buffet style. Matt and Emily plated their food and sat together at a card table, there not being enough room at the main dining room table.

“Oh, look at the two bat-people making bat-eyes at each other over there,” shouted a Roman gladiator.

“Come on, Honey, leave them alone. Matt, ignore my pathetic husband who’s just jealous you get a new girlfriend and he’s stuck with me,” came a slutty nurse’s retort to laughter from the rest of the crowd.

Since they were close to the main table, they couldn’t talk much without their little ruse being discovered so they spoke only in generalities about politics, a recent movie and the weather. Matt was dying to learn more about her but didn’t dare ask her any personal questions. He figured he might pin down Gordon later for more background info on her.

After dessert, the guests quickly helped tidy up in the kitchen before everyone assembled in the living room. They sat in a loose circle and the friendly atmosphere led to laughing, talking, joking and teasing with Matt being the frequent butt of their humor. He noticed Emily would squeeze his hand with hers in a supportive way when a joke hit close to home.

‘Maybe she likes me,’ he wondered, ‘Sure hope I get to know her better.’

During this time, soft background music was playing but a lively dance tune came on and one of the women grabbed her husband and insisted they dance. “I can never get you to dance with me and now I’ve got you. Girls, don’t let him wiggle out of this.”

A few seconds later another couple got up to dance, so Matt turned to Emily and asked, “Dance?”

She smiled, said ‘Yes’ and joined him in one corner of the room. The tune was lively so they danced apart while loosely holding hands. They danced to a second tune in a similar fashion but the third tune was slower. He gave her a questioning look to which she nodded before nearing herself to him. The tune was sensual and though he had left a small gap between them, after a minute or so she nestled up to him. He could feel her breasts rub against his lower chest and her leg as it slipped between his.

It had been awhile since he had held a woman in his arms and the soft music and her closeness caused him to develop an erection, something he tried to hide by pulling his pelvis away from her. It was clear she wasn’t interested in him pulling away as she thrust her pelvis forward to maintain contact.

“I, uh, sorry for the, uh…” he whispered in her ear.

“Why? Let’s me know you’re turned on just like I am. Only you’re not able to tell,” she softly chuckled.

“Seriously?”

“Oh, yeah. I haven’t been so turned on while dancing in years.”

“Maybe it’s because you haven’t danced with Batman.”

“I doubt your costume is the answer. Though I don’t know you at all well, I mean we just met, somehow you’re seriously cranking my engine.”

They continued to dance until faster music came on. She dragged him by his hand to the kitchen and once they were out of sight, she turned and pulled him close. Her kiss caught him off guard, but within seconds he was joining her, savoring her sweet lips. They broke apart, she smiled up at him and reached up for another. Matt considered himself to be fairly conservative when it came to dating and though he would normally not have expected a kiss from a virtual stranger, her kisses were phenomenal. He willingly joined her for the second and even a third kiss.

“Mmm. Your kisses are nice,” she hummed into his ear after the third one.

“Yours, too.”

“We better get back out there or they may suspect something’s up.”

“Yeah. I guess so.”

In the living room, the dancing had stopped and everyone was talking and laughing. Some of the guests appeared more than tipsy and the cheerleader Jenn tapped on her glass before addressing the group.

“OK, everybody, time for a little group game.”

Groans came from a couple of the men while the women cheered.

“Come on, it’ll be fun,” she went on. “And we have a special prize for the winning team. We’ll announce it once we have a winner.”

“You’ll love it, I promise,” added Gordon.

“OK. So, it’s easy. We play Charades but Gordon and I will act out the movie and you guys will compete as couples. The couple to first guess five movie titles, wins. Simple.”

“So, four teams, the first to five wins. Right?”

“Exactly. Now Gord and I have put in a bunch of titles in this bowl here and we’ll pull them out, do the acting until one team guesses the title. Got it?”

There was a general nod of agreement. The gladiator grumbled a little saying he needed more liquid encouragement and once he had refilled his glass, everyone settled down.

“You any good at this?” Matt whispered to Emily.

“I dunno. We’ll see.”

“OK. First one.” Gordon, minus his Sasquatch head, and the cheerleader Jenn pulled out a slip of paper. They looked at each other, whispered a little before turning to the four couples.

Gordon held up five fingers for the title and Jenn started by sitting on a stool and holding an imaginary paddle.

“Paddle!” She nodded yes.

“Canoe?” She nodded yes again and pointed to the floor.

“Water.” Another nod.

“Ocean?” A head shake.

“Ocean’s Eleven?”

A firm shaking of the head ‘No.’

“Uh, lake?” Another shake ‘No.’

“River?” Jenn smiled, nodding ‘Yes.’

“A River Runs Through It!” Her head shook ‘No.’

“Bridge Over the River Kwai!” shouted Matt.

“You’re the winner! The old classic movie from forever ago. Hon, put them down for one win. Next up…”

After conferring with her husband in secret, Jenn held up two fingers.

“Two words in the title?” She responded with a smile and a nod before holding up her index finger. Gordon stood next to her while she began to swing at his lower legs.

“Sports?” “Injury?” Gordon pretended to fall over before someone shouted, “Oh, I got it. It’s an axe.”

Jenn smiled and pointed to Gordon.

“Fell?” “Fall?” “Tree?”

Jenn smiled and used many fingers to point to Gordon.

“Trees?” She smiled even bigger.

“Forest?”

“Forrest Gump!” cried out Emily.

“Yes, it’s Forrest Gump. Good for you guys. You’ve got two points and lead the pack.”

Over the next twenty minutes, the titles became harder to sort out and two were so hard no one guessed them. The scores evened out somewhat until Matt and Emily had four points as did another couple, while the last two couples each had three.

“OK, everybody, someone could win the big prize here with this next round. You guys ready?”

“Yeah, let’s do this. You’re so going down,” shouted the guy from the other four-point team.

“No way. We’re gonna smoke you,” responded Emily.

“OK, everybody, pay attention. I’m going to give one visual clue and then let you all flounder around until someone hits it. This may take a little time.” She mimicked opening an oven and taking out something round.

“That’s all we get?”

“Yup. Good luck.”

The guessing was wild and crazy. People tried to focus on the baking aspect, on being a chef or a cook and on various foods. Matt sat quietly with his mind racing. ‘Did she indicate it was round?’ he asked himself. ‘Was it a cake? Or a pie?’ That thought tickled his memory of a couple of films. Suddenly, he knew! But there were two films and if he mentioned one, someone else might guess the other, so he decided to say both quickly before anyone else could say anything.

“American Pie or Life of Pi!”

“Correct! Life of Pi is it. Very good, Matt. You and Emily are the winners. Come on up here.”

As they stood with big grins next to Gordon and Jenn, Matt wondered what the big prize might be.

“Matt and Emily, we have a mother-in-law unit in the back yard which we remodeled this summer. We usually rent it out to university students but we weren’t quite done by September. It is vacant now. You two get to use it however you wish for one night. It is stocked with food, everything is clean and there’s a bottle champagne for you. Enjoy yourselves and don’t do anything naughty, now, you hear?”

There was a lot of good-natured teasing from everyone in the room as Jenn led them out to the back door. “Here’s the key and feel free to stay a few minutes or all night. It’s up to you.”

“Thanks, Jenn, that’s so sweet but Matt and I hardly know each other.”

“I know, but at least you could have some snacks and drinks and get to know each other a little better without all the distractions, right?”

“I guess. Come on, Matt. Let’s check it out.”

The curving pathway, lit with faint lights, led to the front door. Emily opened it and flicked on the light. They saw a lovely studio unit with two doors on the back wall, one leading to the bathroom and the other to a huge closet. Along one wall was a tiny kitchen with a table for two while a desk and chair along with a short sofa occupied the opposite wall. A half-bottle of champagne rested in an ice bucket along with a pile of snack food was on the table.

“Looks nice. Care for some bubbly?” he asked.

“Sure. Uh, care to take your mask off?”

“I will if you do.”

When she pulled her mask off, Matt could see her for the first time. He had been attracted to her in the skin-tight costume all evening but now the picture was complete. She was, simply put, beautiful. Her wavy hair was indeed brunette and featured a few streaks of light blonde. Without the mask covering her upper face, he could get a far better sense of her overall looks and he liked what he saw.

“Now your mask.”

After he pulled his off, she smiled and said, “Not bad, Batman.”

“You’re way more than ‘not bad,’ you’re, well, you’re very attractive.”

“Thanks. Now, where is that champagne you promised?”

They silently toasted each other before sitting on the sofa.

“What do we do now?” she asked.

“Tell me about you.”

“Uh-uh.”

“Why not?”

“I’m going to, well, look at it this way; I don’t know you. You seem like a fun guy but how can I be sure? Maybe by not telling each other much, we can enjoy being together and not worry about the future. If we get along really well tonight, then maybe we can open ourselves up to the other.”

“What do you mean by ‘getting along really well’?”

“I mean this.” She leaned over to him, wrapped her arms around him and reached up for a kiss. The kisses in the kitchen had been truly nice but these kisses, these kisses were sexy, erotic and even promising. After several minutes of making out, they broke to grab a swallow of champagne before turning back for more.

Matt found himself enjoying her kisses more and more. She ran her tongue across his lips, teased his tongue with hers and moaned softly, giving him the idea she was truly enjoying herself. After her arms wrapped around his torso, he let his slide to her back and draw her closer to him. He found himself getting increasingly stimulated as evidenced by an uncomfortable erection growing in his costume pants. Eventually, he broke away to hold her in front of him.

“Nice, very nice,” he murmured.

“Yeah, very nice indeed. Could we maybe turn down the lights a little?”

“Sure.” He got up, turned on a small desk lamp and doused the overhead light. “Better?” he asked.

“Much. You could make it even better by coming back here.”

On his way back to the sofa, he adjusted his erection to relieve the pressure before he sat down next to her. He was surprised when she turned to him and crawled onto his lap.

”This

is much better.”

Once she was on his lap, she became even more aggressive. Her kisses deepened, her tongue probed and her hands began to move over to his chest. He was surprised when she began to rub over his nipples though he couldn’t feel much through the thick rubberized costume top.

“Wanna slip this off?” she asked.

“Only if you do the same,” he answered, surprised he had the nerve to ask.

She leaned back to stare him in the eye. “Matt, uh, look, uh, I’m super turned on right now and while I normally wouldn’t do this so fast, I think I might want to. Could we maybe stop at the waist and see how we do before going any further?”

“Sure. You’re in charge.” He pulled his top off and helped her with hers. Her breasts were perfect in every way. They were on the plus size of average and sported a nice shape and small eraser-sized nipples sticking out, begging to be touched. Rather than grab a boob, he reached back to begin kissing her again.

After several minutes, she reached up to his chest and began to tease his nipples. To him this was an invitation to do the same to her. His fingers slid slowly up her belly to the swelling of her breasts and on up to the nipples. He lightly teased them until she giggled, commenting she was ticklish. After applying firmer pressure, she began moaning into his mouth as she attacked his lips again.

But Matt wanted to taste them. He loved the pungent taste which women’s breasts have after they’ve been licked and sucked for a while. He broke the kiss, moved his lips to her cheek and slowly down her neck. She shivered when he reached her collar bone area and held his head tightly to her.

“Favorite spot.”

He was only too glad to please. He licked and lightly sucked the area, mindful not to leave a hickey. Her moans became louder as she grabbed his hand on her breast and squeezed his fingers onto her. It was clear she was getting excited and he wanted to move on and give her the ultimate pleasure. Defying the hand holding his head, he slid down slowly until his lips reached her nipples. A few light licks followed by firmer ones seemed to please her, if her moans were any indication.

He began to suck intermittently between long, slow licks across her areolae. Her moans, music to his ears, spurred him on. He redoubled the intensity of his licking and sucking until he tasted the faint, musky flavor of woman. He felt his head being pressed harder and harder to her chest, making it more difficult to stimulate her, but he wanted to please this strange woman and wanted her to climax, so he continued with his lingual attack.

After feeling her body tense up tighter and tighter, he sensed the end was near but even so, he was ill prepared for her orgasm. She shrieked as her body jerked rhythmically, her hands still clutching his head tightly almost to the point of suffocation. Soon he felt a relaxation of her grip as her body began to relax before it went completely flaccid, arms dropping to her side. He looked up at her only to see her head sagging back, eyes closed and nostrils flaring with each breath.

After a minute or more of recovery, she stirred, looked down at him and smiled. “Wow. Simply wow.”

“Like?”

“Like? Are you crazy? I loved it. You, Sir, are a magician with your tongue.”

“Thanks,” he responded as he sat up and brought her to him for a hug. He gently stroked her back for a bit before she stirred and pulled back.

“I never knew I could have such a wild boob-gasm. I think I owe you, now.”

“You don’t

owe

anyone.”

“Well, maybe not, but I know I want some more. Here, let’s get these pants off.”

Before he knew it, she was pulling his pants down until he was completely nude in front of her. His erection stood proud and throbbed slightly in time with his heart beat. He helped pull her pants off and led her to the bed.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked nervously.

“No, quite honestly, no. I’ve never done anything so fast or so spontaneous as this but the more we’re together, the more I want to do. Now, lean on back and let me at this fellow.”

He lay back as she scooted down to his pelvis and lowered her head to his cock. He felt the first few tentative licks across his head, licks which immediately drove his desire even higher. He was getting used to her licking him when she slowly dropped her head down, enveloping most of his cock in her mouth. Matt had never had a girlfriend who could deepthroat, yet here a near stranger was taking most of him in her mouth. And it felt great!

He loosely held her head in his hands while letting her determine how deep and how fast she would take him. As it had been months since he’d had sex with anyone besides Rosy Palm, he knew he would not last long. Once he felt himself get near, he gently tapped her on the shoulder.
