Curiosity killed the cat.... or so I've been told. I knew the old adage; I'd used it several times before. Usually, I managed to keep my own curiosity under a solid control, however this time... my curiosity of you got the better of me.
We had talked several times over the telephone and numerous times over the computer. I knew what you looked like because I'd received several pictures of you over the past months. I also knew what your voice was like, rich and flowing. Your voice never failed to produce sexual waves to rush over my body. Another thing I knew was where you lived. We'd made plans to meet and enjoy each other, but they never seemed to come to pass. Something always seemed to get in the way. All these things combined were really the determining factor in what caused me to do what I did next.
I decided to come to you. Not wanting to take the chance that I might hear you say that you wouldn't be able to be with me because of work or some other thing, I didn't tell you I was coming. That way if, after I'd seen you, I discovered that you were busy, I wouldn't have to say anything about it and could just return home.
Once the plane landed it was actually quite easy to find my way to you. I simply hailed a taxi and handed him the piece of paper I'd written your address on and he took me where I wanted to go. I decided that I would freshen my appearance a bit, brush my hair, and make sure everything was in order before I arrived. While I was checking my cosmetics, I noticed the driver kept glancing back at me using the rear view mirror.
"You really don't need to do that,β he said.
"What is it exactly that I don't need to do?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
"To freshen up like you are doing."
"And why do you think I've no need of it, might I ask?"
He looked up into the mirror again, and said, "Because you are beautiful the way you are."
I looked at his badge, and found his name to be Dave. A smile played across my lips and just reached my eyes when he announced that we'd arrived at the location I'd given him. My eyes held his as I reached into my pocketbook to pay him.
"Thank you, Dave, for the compliment." I said as I stepped from the taxi.
I was standing in front of your home. I took a deep breath and said, "Well, you are here now... no turning back."
When I started to knock on the door I heard something to the side of the house. I had thought that you might of come outside so I stepped toward the sound I heard. I saw nothing, but discovered that the sound was coming from inside the house. I peeked in the window and you were there, plucking out some tune on your guitar. I stood there mesmerized. You were so serious and quite engrossed in what you were doing; I just stood there watching you. My heart pounding, the little voice in my head telling me I was stupid for sneaking around like this. I continued to watch you through the window, you had gotten up to stretch and remove your shirt. I watched you move toward the back of the house and assumed that you'd decided to take a shower. I was proved right when I heard the water begin to run.
With my back to the house, that little voice started up again. " Are you just going to stand outside his house? Go in and surprise him. He's not to busy if he's tinkering with the guitar, much less if he's in the shower."
All these thoughts ran through my mind. That did it. I moved back to the front of the house and tried the door. A small surge of triumph electrified me when I found it unlocked. I stepped inside, praying that you didn't have a huge dog that would pounce on me as soon as I took another step deeper inside. I waited. No growling, no alarms going off, much to my relief. I pressed the door closed behind me, and leaned against it until I gathered my courage.
Silently I moved further into your home, I looked around, taking in as much of my surroundings as I could. I took off my jacket and let it drop along with my purse onto the couch. Slipped off my sandals and made my way to the back, following the sound of the water. As I got closer, I noticed that you did not close the door. You certainly weren't expecting company or you wouldn't of left it open, right. I could hear you humming softly in the shower. I had to steady myself against the wall as the sound of your voice rushed over me. So strong was the effect you had on me.
With my shoulder against the doorframe I watched you in the shower. Your silhouette slightly distorted from the shower doors, but I could clearly see that that entire running you are made to do has kept you in shape. Your hair, slicked back against your head from the water, the water running down your body, along your chest and stomach, down over your hips, racing down your legs. It was almost too much to take, as I stood there, breathless, torturing myself by watching you. I still my hands to prevent them from touching my body. I continued to watch you in the shower and decided I'd surprise you. I straightened up to remove my clothing and stepped into the shower behind you.
What a surprise you got. The second my hands touched your back you spun around to see just WHO was invading your privacy. I almost laughed aloud, the look on your face when you discovered it was me standing behind you. Your hands slid around my waist and pulled me in close to you. I looked up at you and smiled, " Surprise!" I said, lowered my eyes.
Your finger beneath my chin brought my eyes back to yours. Your eyes were glowing. Again I found myself mesmerized, unable to move, your mouth moved closer to mine until our lips met. My body shook as your lips touched mine, I went up on tiptoe to deepen the kiss and let my tongue touch yours. I felt your body tense as more of our bodies touched. As our lips and bodies parted, a smile upon my lips, "I thought you might need some help washing your back" I said.
Your eyes darkened for an instant then the laughter rumbled from your chest. You tossed the washcloth at me and simply turned around. As I lathered the soap into the cloth I admired your backside. The length of your legs, your amazing ass, the lines of your back, I noticed again how tall you were. Your hands were splayed against the tiles of the shower, but as I touched you, I saw your knuckles go white. Almost like you were fighting to keep them flat against the wall. The muscles in your back fascinated me, tensing and relaxing as my hands moved over your heated skin. Your head dropped down to let the water spray over your head. I washed your back and let the cloth drop to the shower floor, my hands moved over your backside. My fingers ran through the soapsuds on your back leaving finger tracks, my hands slipped a bit lower to your gorgeous behind. I heard your breathing sharpen, almost like I shocked you and you tensed again. I kept my hands on your body and let the water rinse my hands at the same time as it rinsed your body. You didn't move. In fact you had gone perfectly still.
I moved away from you, suddenly very unsure of myself. Was I wrong my coming here like I did? What was I thinking, breaking into this man's home and invading his privacy like this? Could I have been more stupid? You aren't what he thought you would be. You don't look like he expected you to. I've upset him by coming here. Could I of misinterpreted what I thought was a look of pleasant surprise for something else. I hoped I was wrong, but you weren't saying anything, in fact you'd not even moved your head out from under the water. You were exactly as you were when I finished washing your back. Something close to panic had taken hold of my insides. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my body as I stepped from the shower gathering my clothes from the floor and left the bathroom. This was definitely not how it was supposed to go. I never should of come.
I just started going in the direction my feet took me. You found me in your room, standing near the window. My clothes clutched to my breast with one hand the other hand held the towel, still wrapped around me. Something behind me moved, I turned, with tears welled in my eyes, you were standing in the doorway with a towel around your waist. Water rivulets slipped down your chest into the towel. You looked so good, all wet and most definitely all male. I wanted to reach out and touch you but I wasn't sure of your reaction to me now.
"I shouldn't of come. Please, let me get dressed and I'll go."
"Go... go where? I know you don't think you are going back to North Carolina."
"Y-yes, I only meant to surprise you, and I know you weren't expecting me, and I only wanted to be with you and.... " the words rushed from my mouth.
