Maribeth pushed herself hard against my body, her hands caressing my shoulders and biceps. I knew that she loved feeling the muscles of my arms and abs and so rather than rush things, I allowed her to take the lead.
I'm no expert on how women view the male body, and though Maribeth has tried on several occasions to describe her feelings when she looks or touches me, it's still somewhat of a mystery. Maribeth has used the word "power" a number of times, but I get the distinct impression that this word has multiple meanings to a woman.
Clearly, men are physically bigger and stronger. Our musculature is more defined and sharpened. But I sense that "power" has a deeper meaning to women than what is physically obvious.
Maribeth has commented on a sense of well-being that emanates from feelings of being "protected and safe." She's also used the word "power" to describe masculine self-confidence and assuredness, so I suspect that like so many things wrapped in the female psyche, it's a Gordian Knot of impressions.
I had just finished telling her about a rendezvous that I had with a woman named Jennifer a few years back, but I hadn't gotten very far into the story before a very aroused Maribeth had chosen to interrupt.
While her hands were busy caressing and kneading, Maribeth's face was buried in the hair of my chest. She was kissing her way through the sparse forest until she found a nipple and began chewing on it with her lips. Soon, the tip of her tongue was brought into play, and I told her that the feeling was very pleasant.
Sometimes I think that a woman's nipples are directly connected through her brain to her pussy because I have aroused a number by just breast and nipple play. However, that doesn't seem to be the case for males, at least not me. While I find it pleasant, it doesn't transmit anything to my groin and if Maribeth thinks she can arouse me this way, she's about to be disappointed.
I am, however, enjoying her attention. Soon her lips move to my flat stomach and she seems to want to occupy her attention by running her tongue along the ridges and valleys of my abs.
For all of my adult life, I've tried to stay in good physical shape. For years, a five mile morning run before breakfast was my normal routine. As I got older, the runs became less frequent, but generally longer, plus I began some weight training on a more regular basis. The net result was that, bodywise, I think I looked pretty good.
As Maribeth's lips moved lower, her hands slid from my shoulders to my lats and I felt them explore the terrain. As she slid past my navel, her lips encircled the slight depression and her tongue busied itself in its depth. It was while she was so engaged that, for the first time she began her downward journey, I saw her raise her eyes to catch mine.
The gaze lasted for just a few seconds during which time she could clearly see the pleasure and contentment on my face. Then dropping her eyes again she kissed her way to the intersection of my legs and my torso.
Maribeth has explained that male pheromones are strongest in this area adjacent to my ball sac and she immediately buried her face in this spot. I could feel her tongue swipe over the skin as her lips both kissed and nipped. Up until now, Maribeth had been silent, but as she inhaled my aroma, she was mewing with increasing audibility.
Finally, coming up for air, she scooted back into my arms and exclaimed, "that was wonderful, you smell soooo good!" Then taking my hand, she guided it between her legs and pressed it against her. She was sopping wet. "See what you've done?" She scolded. Since, for the last twenty minutes or so, I hadn't hardly moved, I said I was taking no responsibility for her condition.
Maribeth scrunched up her face and punched me in my shoulder.
"I think you need to be punished," she said. "So now you're just going to have to wait."
Sliding down to where she could comfortably rest her head on my shoulder, Maribeth pulled the covers over us and said, "I want to hear the rest of the story." Perhaps as an additional inducement her hand slipped beneath the sheets and wrapped itself around my still flaccid cock.
Well, I had left the story just as Jennifer had taken my load in her mouth and had savored it all the way into her belly. Since I was clearly "out of the game" for awhile and the dinner hour was upon us, we got dressed and Jennifer used the bathroom to put herself back together. When she emerged, she looked great.
The big surprise was when she leaned up for a kiss, I tasted musk where I expected to taste mint. Jen looked at my expression and smiled, "I want the taste of you as long as I can." I smiled back and kissed her again.
My convention was located in a hotel a couple of blocks away, so I was a little reluctant to take Jennifer to any of the nearby restaurants, so I ordered a cab and instructed the driver to take us to Jack London Square.
Jack London Square is located across the Bay Bridge on the waterfront in Oakland. While there's always the possibility that someone you know can appear just about anywhere, I thought that most, if not all, would be dining in San Francisco, not Oakland.
While there are several good restaurants on the Square, my favorite was actually more of a pub. The "Call of the Wild," had seemingly been built when the original plaza was constructed in the 1950's, and it retained that rustic charm, but it was definitely not "dated."
When I had dined here in the past, I had found the clientele to be eclectic to say the least. Writers, artists, young professionals and sometimes hippies and bums were well represented. The lighting was subdued and Jennifer and I found a nice secluded table in the corner of the dining room.
The menu was diverse. A fair amount of seafood, some pub fare and a few unique "specials" made the choice a difficult one. Eventually Jen ordered Mussels and Clams, and I opted for Irish Stew. As we waited for the food, we sipped a nice merlot and talked about how great it was to be together again. I made it a point to express my gratitude for the marvelous welcome that Jen had provided. She laughed and hinted that "you ain't seen anything yet."
