The seconds had turned into minutes, the minutes into hours, the hours into days, then weeks, and finally into a bone crunching, leaden two months. Or more precisely, 62 days, 4 hours and 24 minutes, but who's counting. Their time away from each other was brutal, not eased by the fact that they'd flirted by phone and email and text, exchanging sexy notes, sentiments, and occasionally, even a randy picture or two. She was less inclined to send "dick pics"--a mother of two young children, she'd been off the market when the whole 'exchanging dirty pictures revolution' occurred and it was still somewhat of a shock to get an unexpected cock in her text or email box. And dangerous. The kids might see.
But 62 days is a long time, and even she had yearned to send something more than the cleverly composed, carefully cropped, but undeniably sexy pictures she had contributed to their little photo exchange. Anything to help replace the empty void of not having him there in her arms, squeezing her tight and hitting that little button that she had thought was gone after years of a lifeless marriage.
And then time is funny. Once they had made their plans to see each other again, the months turned into weeks, the weeks into days, the days into hours, and amazingly--really almost unimaginably, the hours were about to turn into minutes and then seconds and then...
The plan was simple. He was to fly into IAH from LAX and they were to meet at the C Terminal, Gate 23C, to catch their plane to New York for their little "love getaway." Because they were catching a show in the afternoon, it was necessary to leave on a red-eye flight in order to make it there in time to check into the hotel, shower, and grab a cab to the show. So, they were meeting at 23C at 10pm for an 11:23pm flight. With two kids, this was past her bedtime and she would surely be tired, he thought. And his plane was late--he was worried he wouldn't make his connection. He landed in the E Terminal and he quickly ran, with bags crisscrossing his shoulders flying from left to right, through the airport like some horny OJ Simpson running in a Hertz commercial.
He wasn't much for public shows of affection, and he was pretty sure she wasn't either, so he was pleasantly shocked by his own behavior and hers, when he spotted her at the gate and they crashed into each other in a flail of kisses--of hungry tongues going mad, hands grabbing at flesh--public be damned. With the plane boarding, there wasn't much time for this, but even in this short minute or two of standing affection, his impossibly hard cock, pressed tightly against her body, had produced a sweaty butt and the tinniest bit of leakage from its head--he could feel it dirtying his once clean underwear. Oh well, nothing like sitting in wet underwear for 3 hours, he thought. They gathered their carry-ons and boarded the plane in a blush, along with tired travelers who didn't, couldn't know the feeling of raw passion that had enraptured these two the past several months.
But what to do with all that pent-up emotion? They entered the packed plane and made it to their seats--32E and F, a window and middle seat--and sat next to an older woman probably in her 60's, he by the window, her in the middle. Again, they hadn't wanted to make a scene, but the kissing started up again almost immediately once they sat, like a couple of school kids in their parent's car on a first date. Decorum got the best of them, though, as they finally settled back, allowing passengers to board without the embarrassment of having to turn their heads away from this nearly-carnal display.
The plane filled, instructions were given, and it lifted into the air as many were already closing eyes and uncomfortably banging about in intermittent sleep. The lights were turned off to facilitate these slumbers and our two lovers, noticing their row mate already slipping into sleep, started kissing again. But these kisses were different than the enraged ones from the airport. These were softer, more subtle, more exploratory, more specific. He held her head with his right hand, touching the soft skin on her face, which he had thought about so many times these past 62 days; he couldn't believe that he possessed it now, after all that impossible time. The feeling of now having some part of her flesh in his hands brought up a guttural, nearly cannibalistic feeling in his chest--he had to devour this.
The kisses got harder and faster, quickly turning back into the hungry display from before, but even more-so, as the feeling of wanting to take in the other had overcome them both, equally. Now hands were working hard to get under the many layers of clothing one needed to wear on a winter airplane trip, since simply touching the other on the outside of clothes was not enough, not even close. There was a blinding need to touch skin.
He hit pay dirt first, pulling up her shirt and grabbing the smooth hip flesh that slightly poured over her jeans. He thought how much she complained about this bit of 'fat,' and yet how essential it was in this moment, like bread given to a starving man being rescued. He was that man now, having spent 62 days with no food or water on a tiny island of their making. She had managed to get a hand past the three layers of shirts and was now stroking his back, running her hand up and down it's taunt surface and pushing on it harder and harder, now that it was in her mitts. Their kissing increased, and his hand made a quick, economic move up her body and under her bra, grasping onto her breast in a simple, single motion, his thumb flicking her already hard nipple.
