Maria bolted upright in bed, trembling, her hands moist. She sleepily turned and gazed at the blurry digital dial of her alarm clock. She squinted to make out the time. "God, it's only 2:30," she muttered.
She sank back down into the softness of her feather bed, seeking temporary comfort. Her life had been turned upside down, leaving her anxious and unfulfilled. A little over two years ago her husband of eight years had been killed in a tragic auto accident. His life insurance had provided her economic security, but his absence had left a hole at the heart of her being. A year and a half after his death she tried Internet dating for six months or so, but couldn't open up emotionally. The nice guys were boring and unadventurous, and the macho guys were ego maniacs and misogynists.
The only perplexing encounter was a night out with the girls where she ended up drunk, and possibly drugged, at some guy's place in the Hollywood hills. She didn't remember his name, but a girl friend recalled that he was a stuntman for the studios. He must of slipped something into her drink, for the night was mostly a blur. She barely recalled a jumble of hazy snap shots depicting lured sex, fleeting images of oral copulation, and brief glimpses of hard physical sex. She was still haunted by fractured memories of eerie high pitched wails echoing off the bedroom walls announcing her gripping orgasms.
She had awakened before dawn and escaped before the unnamed stuntman awoke. She never saw him again, but the libidinous sex had left its mark. It was damned exciting. Sex with her husband had been loving and kind. He was tender and sensitive to her needs. During her marriage it was only through oral sex that she could achieve an orgasm. The night with the mystery stuntman had opened her up; she had her first encounter with raw, hot, physical sex.
The day after the stuntman affair she had suffered a monster hangover. While preparing for a soak in the Jacuzzi, she glimpsed her bruised thighs in the bathroom mirror. He had left several black and blue marks on her thighs, but when she turned around she found two distinct prints where he had dug his fingers into her sensual ass. The nipples on her full breast were sore and her pussy ached.
Maria wasn't egotistical, but she was a realist. At thirty four years of age, she had one hell of a body. She stood five foot five, had dark thick hair cut short, olive skin, (a Latina mother), green eyes, (an Irish father), and full breast with large extended nipples. When she was aroused her nipples morphed into miniature pinkies. Her classic bubble butt had driven her deceased husband wild. She missed his tender touch and sensitivity. But the mystery stuntman had unleashed a primal desire for hot physical sex. But this time she wanted to savor it all and not be left with only a jumble of disjointed memories.
Maria was primed and finally ready for a new phase of her life. She needed a fix. So when one of her coworkers at the real estate office suggested a night out with the girls, she accepted. But Maria would be more careful this time around. So she thought.
Nancy, her coworker had been divorced for several years and knew the night life in Hollywood and Santa Monica. She picked a club in Santa Monica known for businessmen, people in the movie industry, and cops. Nancy had had a couple of affairs with married cops. That was definitely not Maria's style.
She met Nancy at the night club a little after 7:30. "My you look sexy," Nancy remarked as she turned from the bar to appraise Maria's outfit.
"I hope this isn't too bold," said Maria, smiling devilishly.
"It's perfect." Nancy looked her up and down and then announced emphatically. "This is going to be a night to remember!"
"I hope so." Maria sighed as she took a seat at the bar next to Nancy. She had chosen her outfit with a mischievous intent. The skirt was black, the hem fell to mid thigh, hugging her ass like a glove. She wore a pale blue blouse that clung to her full breast. Not desiring unwanted attention, she opted for a gray suede jacket that toned down her exotic appearance. The jacket revealed only a glimpse of her full breast. But her three inch heels accentuated her curvaceous ass and toned legs.
"Hey, Nancy," came a deep voice from down the bar. A tall man with a dark trimmed goatee approached and leaned in for a quick kiss on the cheek. "Nancy dear, I haven't seen you in months. Where've you been?"
"I've been laying low. I needed a respite from the night life. Besides, all that time studying finally paid off. I just passed the real estate exam." Nancy was proud of herself. She'd been a secretary for a couple years, but envied the big pay off for selling high end property. It was now her turn to live the good life.
Nancy turned toward Maria and said, "Maria, I'd like you to meet Robert. He works for the studios."
Robert swung around and extended his hand. "It's a pleasure. Why don't you two join me and my friend over there. We've a booth."
"Are you game?" Nancy said, raising her brows and smiling broadly at Maria.
"Sure. That sounds great."
Within a half hour the band fired up and couples filled the small dance floor. Nancy and Maria took turns dancing with Robert and his friend Hank. Maria eventually settled in with Hank and Robert monopolized Nancy's time.
Maria learned that Hank had worked only about a year for the studios, polishing his still green stuntman skills. His father was one of Hollywood's best stuntman and Hank, at twenty-six, had decided to follow in his father's footsteps. He'd picked up many skills from his father, but the biggest thing he inherited was his fearlessness. He'd try anything, at least once.
Hank was a smooth dancer, moving about the floor gracefully, given he looked like a college line backer. The fast dances were fun, but the slow dances were sensual, their bodies rubbing and bumping to the slow beat of the music. Maria nipples pushed relentlessly against her suffocating bra as she hugged her rugged new friend. His groin pushed against her mid section and hip, stiff and hard, causing her to shiver with erotic anticipation.
