New York City is my favorite city in the world. Fortunately, my wife, Margo agrees. We make several treks to the city each year, except for a couple of years following 2008.
One trip, in December, 2017, is memorable. It was a gift that keeps on giving.
We always tried to be in New York for the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center each year. We plan our trip to arrive the weekend before the ceremony, expecting it to occur on the first Wednesday in December. In 2017, we miscalculated. The ceremony that year was on November 29
th
and we arrived on the Saturday following the event. Disappointed, we adapted and went to see the tree in the evening of our arrival. The tree is usually lit between six pm and midnight, hours that are quite dark in the avenues and streets of New York.
The tree is an amazing draw for residents and tourists alike so the crowds are enormous. Unless you've actually been there, you can't understand how close people are crowded together as they follow the route established by the city to minimize the inconvenience and maximize the number of people who get to see the tree. As a point of reference, the crowds seen on TV in Times Square on New Year's Eve pale by comparison.
Margo and I checked into the Sheraton at Times Square, had showers, a quick drink and headed for Rockefeller Center. With guidance from some helpful policemen, we found the end of the line and began the long journey around the block before passing by the tree. Soon we were in the middle of an upbeat mob of people shuffling slowly toward the tree, a trip that was sure to take the better part of several hours.
We were frequently in body contact with those in front of us, alongside us and behind us. The woman in front of me was restrained in reacting to the intermittent contact of my hips against her backside as those behind me pushed me forward. I was bumping against her buttocks more frequently as we turned the corner from Fifth Avenue into 50
th
street. I assumed she found it annoying when she reached behind her and used her palm to block my next bump. I don't know what she intended to encounter with her hand behind her but when I was pushed from behind again, her hand perfectly palmed my man parts.
I have no idea if she was surprised but I certainly was. I attempted to shift my body slightly left when the next bump from behind me came. My effort had an unexpected but not entirely unpleasant outcome. My left shift exactly matched the corresponding shift of the unknown woman's hand. For the second time, she was palming my package.
I stopped trying to avoid her hand. After the fourth perfectly accurate palming, I added a slight forward shift of my hips, pushing tighter against her palm. The next time I pushed, she squeezed. For the next twenty minutes or so, as we shuffled our way down 50
th
street toward the tree, her hand never left my crotch and my reaction was predictable and uncontrollable.
About half way down the block, I nudged Margo alongside me and indicated she should watch what was happening. She shuffled, wide eyed, alongside me for the next several cycles. She leaned over and whispered, "You're kidding."
"Never," I whispered back.
"Looks like you're encouraging her," Margo continued.
"I couldn't help myself," I responded in my defense.
"I assume you're enjoying the attention."
"You'd recognize my reaction."
Margo watched for a short time and the next time I surged into the woman's hand, she moved closer to me and bumped forward into the stranger's right cheek.
The woman reacted exactly as Margo expected. She put her other hand behind her to intercept Margo's next move. Margo carefully assessed the tight space and, on the next surge forward, she perfectly aligned the space in the center of her skirt with the proffered hand.
For the next thirty feet, the woman's hands never left mine or Margo's genital areas. Margo nudged me and mouthed, "Watch this." Over the next several minutes, Margo used her hands to move the front of her dress up slightly with each shuffle. Eventually, the stranger's hand was curled between Margo's legs resting on her nylon panties. My reaction was starting to feel painful. My condition was obvious and the woman in front of us made it worse as she started to rub aggressively vertically against my erection. I took a look and Margo was receiving a similar aggressive hand movement.
Unfortunately, as we neared the tree, police controlling the crowd, began to separate the line into separate directions. We lost contact with the strange woman in front of us when she went right as we were directed left.
We lingered near the tree for ten or more minutes and began to wind our way back toward the hotel. We stopped for a light dinner and drinks at one of the hundreds of pubs in the area. Over dinner, the topic of the woman and her strange actions dominated the conversation. Neither of us could explain her fascination with our bodies and neither of us could positively identify her except that she had shoulder length blonde hair. Margo asserted that it was naturally blonde. I had no basis for an opinion so I took her word for it.
Back in our room, we laughed as I pushed up behind Margo and pressed into her hand when she put it behind her. I squeezed up close, reached around her, pulled up her skirt and palmed her mound. We remained rubbing each other, reproducing as best we could the actions of the unknown blonde. Suitably aroused, we stripped off our clothing and I fucked Margo bent over the side of the bed before we climbed on for a more intimate physical engagement.
It wasn't always like this. Margo and I loved New York and we managed at least two trips a year before 2008. After school we married and settled into employment as a means to fund our lifestyle. I had a degree in graphic arts and found decent employment in a medium large advertising agency. Margo leveraged her degree in marketing into a mid level position with a national brewer.
The downturn in 2008 disrupted our plans. Within months, we were both unemployed. Margo responded by offering marketing services for local businesses and managed a small income to aid in our survival. I created a web presence and offered my ability as a graphic artist to anyone who was interested. Together we managed to pay the bills but extras, like NYC visits, were unaffordable.
One evening in the summer of 2010, I was curled up in an easy chair in our dimly lit living room -- we kept the lights down to save money on electricity -- with my sketchpad in my lap. I was musing on paper with a pencil, unconsciously sketching whatever came to mind. After a while, I looked to see what I had drawn.
I was mildly shocked to discover I had sketched a detailed view of a woman's genitalia. It wasn't a simple sketch. More like a detailed drawing, almost photographic. The owner was obviously aroused. Her perfectly symmetrical major labia were swollen and slightly apart revealing a smaller pair of labia surrounding a shaded opening without much detail. Her clitoris was erect, protruding from beneath its hood and the entire area was awash with drops of glistening moisture. I immediately recognized the pussy I had drawn.
Margo took that moment to enter the room and ask what I was doing. When I responded with "Nothing," her natural curiosity was triggered and she took the sketchpad from my lap. She had to turn on a light to see the drawing.
"Justin," she said, "This is good. I'm not as familiar as you with close up views of a woman's pussy, but I think this is a drawing of me."
"I think so too," I answered.
"What made you draw this?" Margo asked.
"I don't know. I was just doodling."
