This teasing little story was previously submitted under the "Romance" category, but it should have been submitted under Erotic Couplings. I reworked it slightly and hope you agree. If you're used to stories in which two people start fucking in the first paragraph, don't waste your time here.

It's funny how things happen. One thing sparks another, which sparks another, which sparks another, and then you have success or failure; love or war.
This time the outcome was success. It all began with a classical guitar concert. Something went wrong with the air conditioning at the original venue, so it was switched from a concert hall to a local theater stage, a new theater, at that. It featured seats that reclined and pull-down arm rests with receptacles for sodas. If you didn't want the arm rest, it just lifted and folded back between the seats.
On the night of the concert I didn't want the armrest between us. Who would? You looked wonderful and smelled great. Shortish black skirt, ivory silk top and pearls. Very nice. I was happy to be with you. I didn't even mind when you dashed off two minutes before curtain time to use the ladies room. Poor thing.
You returned just seconds after the lights went down, but that was another one of those critical "somethings". I put my hand out just before you sat down--a junior high bit of nonsense-- and found it trapped beneath you, palm up. You shot me a quizzical look, and I smiled. But I didn't move my hand. Holding my coat as I was, and in the darkened theater, no one could see.
