Make My Fantasies Come True
* * *
The light from the red candles circling her bounced golden light off of Karla's skin as she lay stretched out naked, face down on the soft bed. Closing her eyes, she tried to control her breathing, making it long and slow. Still, short little gasps kept breaking in without warning. Her hands trembled.
She knew that he was going to touch her soon. Just the thought of his hands on her sent a rush of anticipation shooting through her body, forcing out another burst of breath, sending tremors running up her legs into her belly.
How had she come to this place? Karla's memories ran through her like little dreams as her bare breasts moved gently against the softness of her comforter. She could feel the outline of her hardening nipples with every inhalation.

That day had not been unusual; Karla had simply been visiting her favorite coffee shop. The rich smell of coffee grounds filled the air along with the background chatter of other people's conversations. Sipping on her steaming mocha, she absently sat down at a table in the back corner of the mostly full cafΓ©, browsing through her phone without any real interest.
Settling herself in, she vaguely noticed a man sitting across from her at the same table. Avoiding eye contact, she shot a quick glance his way. The man appeared to be engrossed in a paperback book. Both of his strategically placed hands blocked her from any view of the cover.
Her curiosity getting the best of her, Karla kept sneaking glances at him while pretending to scroll through something on her screen. All the clothes framing his slim, fit body were stylish, but understated. His warm eyes had tiny laugh-lines around the corners. His lips flicked into subtle expressions, probably reacting to whatever in the story was grabbing his attention. There was no ring on any of the fingers cradling the book cover.
Even more intrigued, Karla kept shifting in her seat, trying in turn to catch glimpses of his expressive face and the maddeningly hidden book cover.
What could be so interesting?
Karla wondered to herself,
I just have to know.
Casually, she leaned back in her seat to get a better angle. Still his hands kept a firm barrier to her vision.
Karla tried to hide a frown. He was being very frustrating.
It's not like it's his fault or anything
, she admitted to herself,
I am the one being creepy and trying to sneak a peek. I should just finish my coffee and go.
Still, her legs refused to move her out of her chair.
She ran her gaze over her phone again without actually reading a single word. The curiosity started to grow more and more into a compulsion. Maybe it had something to do to the way his lips made her belly flutter when it shifted into those little smiles.
Finally, he reached out with one hand absently to grab his cup of coffee, turning to shield the cover from the rest of the crowd, but revealing the scene to Karla's probing eyes. A half-naked damsel lay back limp in the arms of a bare-chested man with rippling muscles. The damsel's hair blew in the wind, against a background of crashing waves along some scenic-looking coastline. The title, half-obscured from her view, read something like "
Deep Throbs to Deep: Lost in the Mists..."
Karla's eyes widened quickly in surprise.
It's a trashy romance novel!
she thought.
That was not at all what I expected.
At that moment she glanced up over the cover and saw her table partner looking straight back at her. His hand was frozen on his cup mid-grasp, a guilty look starting to spread across his face.
Karla hurriedly put down her phone and gave him a reassuring smile. "Hey, don't worry, I love a hot and heavy paperback now and then," she burst out in a rush. "Is it a good one?" she asked, nodding at the creased book cover.
Relaxing visibly, he brought his coffee up back towards his lips, took a sip, then showed her the full cover with a conspiratorial look. "To be honest, there's not a lot of plot, but let me tell you, this author knows how to write a scene that makes you sweat, know what I mean?"
Karla giggled in appreciation and nodded encouragingly. Putting her fists underneath her chin, she leaned in to take in the book, then a full view of its reader. "Oh, so you like heaving bosoms and thrusting members and all that?" she teased, "You look too sophisticated to be drawn to that kind of thing."
He gave a hearty laugh, a deep sound resounding out from his full chest. Drawing a hand up in mock offense, he replied, "You do me wrong, Madame. I am a man of many tastes. I just happen to be a very sensual person."
Karla raised her eyebrows appreciatively, shifting herself so her chin rested gently on one open hand. "Hmmm. Interesting. Tell me more."
He shrugged, laughing a little nervously. "You know, touch, feelings, that sort of thing." His eyes studied her face cautiously, before warming up a little. He leaned in towards her. "I could say more, but I don't know how, ah...
descriptive
you want me to be."
Now it was Karla's turn to place the back of her hand on her forehead, the other on her chest, faking a half-swoon. "Don't worry, I won't faint on you."
Hearing him laugh brightly she placed both hands on her chest. "I, sir, am a grown woman. You can be as
... descriptive
... as you feel comfortable. I can handle it."
As she leaned back Karla noticed his glance flashing down to touch the curve of her breasts and the hint of cleavage showing above the V-neck of her tight-fitting sweater. She felt her face flush slightly, somehow feeling both annoyed and flattered at the same time.
"Well, okay then," he replied. He closed his eyes, letting his voice drop low and quiet.
"I love the images of skin on skin."
He ran the fingers of one hand over the back of the other, taking in a deep breath.
"I love the sound of air moving in and out of lungs."
Opening his eyes, he smiled faintly, looking off into the distance.
"I like the feeling of bodies sliding against bodies. Of warmth moving into warmth."
He absently started running a finger down the skin on the base of his neck.
"I like the way all the emotions surge up like a flood, then crash into thought, and overwhelm them with desire..."
