I was shaving my legs.
Really.
That's all I was doing. Nothing all that spectacular. It's just something that women do, you know?
I'd just finished my shower, and was sitting on the edge of the tub with the water running, running my Bic along my calves when it came to me. What would I look like without that auburn thatch between my thighs?
I smiled, a slight shiver passing through my body. What would Gary think? Even now I could hear him out in the living room waiting for me to finish getting ready for our date. I really didn't have the time for such nonsense.
But there I was...with the razor in my hand...the steam of the shower curling seductively between my legs, and I knew I wanted to do it!
"Keri?" The voice rose from beyond the door. "What's taking so long? That show's going to start in half an hour!"
I giggled. If only he knew. Well...why not? He'd be squirming all night...wondering what "it" looked like without its protective covering of "fur". It was good for a laugh.
"Just a few more minutes, Hon. I need to shave between my legs before we go." My grin was complete. I only wished I could see the look on his face right now.
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and Gary's blond head popped through the crack. "You're kidding," he said, his eyebrows arched comically. "After all this time, you've decided to do something like that? How come?"
It was my eyebrows that went up this time. Gary and I had shared a lot of things over the last few months, but a bathroom wasn't one of them. I could feel the redness begin to creep upward from my collarbone, and knew I must be a sight. "Well...I don't know exactly...just a whim, I guess. Why?"
He hesitated now, his voice dropping huskily. "Would you mind if I watched?" he rasped, his eyes darting heatedly toward the razor held poised in my hand.
Watched? He wanted to WATCH me?
Suddenly my idea didn't seem as great anymore. Gary and I had been "intimate", sure...but to watch me shave my mound. I wasn't too sure I could handle that! But, there he was, and there I was...and the razor...yeah, it was there too. So, against my better judgement, I heard myself telling him: "Sure, why not!"
Slowly I stood up and washed my legs in the shower as Gary settled himself on the toilet lid, the "show" at the Cineplex now all but forgotten. Then, squirting a little shaving gel into my palm I reached between my legs and began to lather my tight, auburn curls until they stood out in foamy relief and I felt t I was ready to go on.
I'd shaved a little around the edges before, for bikini season, but this would be the first time since puberty that I would be completely "nude". What would it feel like, I wondered? The thought sent a delicious shiver between my thighs. It felt a little bit naughty...no, "sensuous" somehow. I glanced nervously over at Gary, to gauge his reaction.
Gary was completely captivated, his eyes following my every move with unwavering concentration. His gaze touched me, caressed me as I stepped out of the shower and turned to sit on the edge of the tub facing him.
His tee shirt was off now, probably because of the steam that swirled around us both, and I swear I think his nipples were hard! I know mine were, and it wasn't helping my composure one bit. What a dumb idea...dumb... dumb... dumb!
But I was committed now, so I opened my legs wide, and with quivering fingers I made the first pass of the blade over the top of my mound, feeling the Bic scrape smoothly over my flesh.
Now there was no turning back, I thought as I looked below at the bare patch of flesh that adorned my sex. I'd really look ridiculous with a bald spot on my crotch. But then who was there to see, but Gary? And frankly, from the expression on his face at the moment, I'm sure he wouldn't mind!
I paused. Gary was totally mesmerized by now. His tongue slowly traced his lower lip as though, by sheer will power, he was helping me stroke myself. It would have been comical, except for the huge distortion along the front of his jeans. He was really getting off on this! The thought sent a rush of wetness between my thighs, and suddenly I knew...I WANTED him to watch!
I made another pass, and my small crop of "pubes" diminished by yet another degree. Gary's hand was stroking this thigh by now, but I knew where he wanted it to be...where I wanted it to be.
