Author Note: This was an "assignment" by my editor to write a scorching 750 word "first time" encounter story without references to specific body parts or sex acts. So, the language is intentionally a bit indirect. I hope I accomplished my goal. Please comment if you think I did (or did not). Enjoy!
All characters are fictional and over the age of 18.
I spent a lot of time at my local men's clothing store. I liked to look good--that's not a lie. But Zoe, who worked at the store on weekends, was the main reason I was a great customer. Zoe had a knack for picking out things that looked great on me. Plus, she was hot. At about 5'2", she was petite with shoulder length straight blond hair and blue eyes.
I thought a million times about asking her out, though I was certain I wasn't her type. She seemed to like me but never flirted. Though as a guy who should have lost his virginity a decade ago, I really don't know if I could detect if someone was flirting with me or not.
Plus, I was a rule follower, and all of my rules did not allow sex. There were religious rules, "moral" rules, and parental rules. If you have a rule, I'll follow it.
I stopped in late one Saturday afternoon to pick up a pair of pants for a party. Zoe greeted me with a welcoming smile. She was wearing short white shorts and a pink top with spaghetti straps. It was near closing time so she locked the door behind me so no one else could come in the store.
I picked out several pairs of pants and took them into the dressing room. I tried them all on but none looked great, so I put them in a pile on the floor, planning to gather them on my way out.
Zoe stuck her head in, seeing the mess of clothes on the floor. I felt the need to apologize to her.
"I guess I broke the rule about having only 2 articles of clothing at a time in the dressing room. I'm sorry."
