This was crazy
, she thought as she contemplated turning right the hell around and going home,
what the hell have I gotten myself into?
She really hadn't gotten into anything yet. She could still turn back as she hadn't quite gotten the courage to knock on the door, but the fact that she was even here right now was blowing her mind. Here, at a stranger's house whom she met on the internet no less, looking for casual sex. Anyone who knew her wouldn't believe it, that she,
Rose
, was here doing something so dangerous, so irresponsible, so
scandalous
. Although her logical brain tried to win the battle over her senses her physical body wouldn't allow her to turn around. Right, wrong, safe, or otherwise she had to see this through. She had to prove to herself she was a fantastic lover, and her ex-boyfriend was wrong. She wasn't a prude and she wasn't the reason their relationship fizzled out and he cheated. She was a young, fun, sexy, attractive, professional. Sure she was determined and focused, you'd have to be have your doctorate in psychology by 25 and Clinical Director for one of the state's most innovative mental health hospitals by 28, but that didn't mean she wasn't any fun. And yes by the end of her relationship with her ex she was scheduling their sex, but what else could she do? There was never enough time for anything more than a well thought-out, crafted, romp in the sheets. Well here it was Wednesday at 9PM, and it had been three months since her boyfriend left her saying she was frigid and predictable. She was horny, and she had something to prove.
Suck it up girl
, she thought to herself,
this is happening.
She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
She let out that deep breath and watched the condensation curl around in front of her. It was cold and she was standing on a stranger's front porch in a black trench coat with black fishnet stockings and high black heels, and nothing else. She personally thought the attire was ridiculous, but it had been at his request. It was one of the few things he'd requested. Her tight lipped casual lover hadn't said much sense they made the plans. She'd tried to open up conversation, ask him what kinds of things he liked sexually to see if they were compatible, but when he answered
if he answered
she only got one word or one sentence answers. She didn't know much about him. She had a tiny picture of an average looking fellow who appeared to be serious about keeping things casual. She usually needed some sort of connection for sex, but she was willing to give this a try. So she didn't push for more. This was an arrangement, a deal, just like in business. They both wanted to get off and that was it. Then at 5PM she received that single text to wear only a coat, fishnets, and heels. It was sexy in its simplicity and she didn't know why she shouldn't oblige him. And it was a different experience knowing you were preparing your body for someone you hardly knew to enjoy. She was perfectly shaved, lotioned, perfumed, made-up, and deodorized...and wet. Ever since she'd gotten that text, with the simple request which exuded a quiet confidence, she'd been turned on and her body wouldn't let her change her mind from that point on. She had these thoughts as she went to rap the door one more time.
He found her there with her hand raised, mid knock. Immediately she realized she'd been mislead. The man that stood before her was not the simple kind man in the hard to see picture. He was much, much more. She noticed first the blue eyes which shone against his olive complexion and dark hair. Even in her heels he was a couple of inches taller than her. He wore a simple t-shirt and cargo shorts with bare feet. It didn't seem quite fair that he was dressed so down when she'd done all that prepping for him, but as she drank him in even more she realized it didn't matter. That simple white t hung over his body like it didn't want to be there, his body so taught and hard and lean, the man's body should be in a gallery somewhere and never, ever clothed. She scanned his body, couldn't help it. She noticed his strong arms and muscular legs, his just-woke-up hair. Then she heard the snort and returned to her senses, immediately embarrassed at her brazen examination of this stranger at this stranger's home.
God,
she thought,
I've been standing here gaping like an idiot.
"I'm sorry" she said at once to him and stuck out her hand, "Adam? Is it?"
Saying nothing he simply grabbed her hand and gently led her inside his warm, cozy home. "Yes, Rose." He finally said once she was inside. "I'm sorry for making you wait. You must have been cold."
At that, she blushed, suddenly shy, which seemed to amuse him once again. He let go of her hand just as she'd realized he still held it. He put gentle pressure on the small of her back and led her further in the home. The hearth opened up to a beautiful open floor plan with high ceilings and glass panels in the back of the home that seemed to open the house even more if at all possible. It was far from the bachelor pad she was expecting. The living room that opened up to the enormous kitchen was nicely decorated with stylish furniture and art decorating the walls. He led her to the imaginary line separating living room and kitchen and dropped his supporting arm behind her back. She was suddenly colder, suddenly missing a touch she didn't know existed a handful of minutes ago.
He stood before her. A confident, cool smile spread out on his lips. "Can I take your coat?" He asked. More like growled, it was so husky. Then she realized he was just as turned on by the sight of her as she was by him, when he chuckled she also knew he was teasing.
She figured two could play that game. She put on a brave expression, an expression which didn't give away that she was melting in her fishnets, and turned square to face him. "Actually I'm still a little cold," she said with a smile, "I'd like to keep it a while."
