Every Friday night a couple friends and I would get together to chat, chill out and have a glass of wine, at the local pub down the road.
Salina would tell us of the dates she had gone on. It always lightened up the evening.
"So girls how about we go out tonight." she said checking her hair, in her compact mirror.
"Where?" asked Tami, motioning to the bartender to give us all a top up
"Speed dating. I've been a couple of times. It's really good and a bit of a laugh." she said
"Speed dating?" I asked, raising an eyebrow quizzically
"Yeah, you really need to get back on the dating scene, sweetie." said Salina. She always called people sweetie.
"A bit impersonal, don't ya think?" asked Tami, taking a large sip of her wine
"It'll be fun, plus we can have a laugh and if all doesn't turn out. We can leave and go clubbing." Salina said, topping up her glass.
"But what if I end up with a train spotter or something. Most guys that go to those things are usually losers" I said making a face, watching as my friends laughed at my expression.
I thought things over for a moment and shrugged my shoulders, the night wasn't very lively and I might as well go along and see what all the fuss was about.
"Well, I guess we could." agreeing to the suggestion "This bar is way too quiet anyway."
"Good girl." replied Salina smiling, grabbing her jacket "I'm glad you've seen sense."
Tami and I had never been speed dating. So this was something we were dreading. Especially all the things we had heard about it and none of them were good things. We looked at each other, and then at Salina, she was now standing at the door, like the place was going to explode any minute and had to escape.
"Come on, you both look like you are facing brain surgery or something." she said, laughing at our expressions of dread.
We walked into the place, where the 'Speed Dating Night' was being held. Signed the form and the hostess gave us a leaflet with the rules of speed dating. I nervously walked over to the table I had been assigned to and took a seat. Panic started to build up inside of me. I started thinking of all the losers that would be arriving and gracing my table.
"I don't usually do this sort of thing," he confessed "but if there are ladies as pretty as you, I'm glad I came."
I smiled at his words, but thought to myself 'What a charmer.' This time when the chatting began, I seemed to focus on his lips; they looked so soft and sensual. I don't think I heard much of what he said, but I nodded in response to him. It was only when his hand touched mine that I jolted back to reality. Our eyes met briefly, making me blush and give him a shy smile.
"By the way my name is Daniel" his voice, husky and very sexy, making me swoon.
"I'm..." I paused, lost for words, as if I had forgotten my own name "I'm Melinda" I finally said, more drawn to look at his lips again.
He was about to chat some more, when the bell rang. I didn't want him to move on to another table, he would probably become Salina’s prey. She would end up using him for another of her sexual conquests. So I decided to speak up.
"I'm kind of bored of this game. Let’s have a drink at the bar."
This wasn't at all like me. There I was staking my claim on a guy I just met. I truly shocked myself.
"Sure, I'm actually quite thirsty," he said pausing "what would you like to drink?"
As he stood up, I examined the figure standing before me. He looked around 6ft tall, dark brown hair that matched his eyes perfectly, expressive shapely brows, amazing body. From what I could see through his smart yet, tight fitting shirt and his black jeans not leaving much to my imagination either.
"I think, maybe a cocktail." I said with a smile, I never usually drank cocktails but deep inside of myself, I think I was trying to impress him.
"Sex on the Beach?" he asked, winking at me. Showing me a glint in his eyes, to match his sudden wicked smile.
My heart almost leaped out of my chest and my pulse quickened, quirky and gorgeous. I looked to the heavens for a moment, as he turned to order the drinks. "Thank you God!" I mouthed, and well I'm not in any way religious but I thought it only right that maybe the big guy upstairs was helping me out on this one.
"Sounds good." I said, making full on eye contact again, "Pity there isn't a beach though." I teased, playing him at his own game.
"Naughty girl, that's the best offer I've had in a long time. Besides it’s cold out," he said pausing "so I guess the drinks will just have to do for now."
I giggled, looked over my shoulder to see who Tami had sitting with her. Suddenly I felt sorry for her, seeing her pick up a coaster then studying it immensely. As the guy talked on and on, the same way he had done at my table too. Thank the heavens Daniel was at my table after him, or I'd have died of boredom. On the other hand, Salina was flirting with what looked like a geek or train spotter type and from the way things were going he would be missing his train and swapping it for a night with the 'man eater.' something that Tami and I had nicknamed her.
I looked back at Daniel and thought for once that maybe fate was on my side. His smile sent shivers of excitement through my body and his touch accentuated the tingles I felt.
"What's on your mind?" his breath felt warm and inviting on my skin, the effect of his voice doing unspeakable things to my senses.
"Those two girls over there," I said pointing discreetly at them "they are friends of mine. I was hoping they would be having as much of a great time as I am having."
"I'm glad you are having a great time with me." he said, sipping his drink, he paused and gave me that look again "Are you hungry, we could maybe grab a bite to eat?"
Hungry? I was hungry but not for food, I was like a sex crazed animal, wanting to just pull him back to my place and have my naughty way with him, but for the life of me I wasn't that forward and I couldn't be that forward if my life depended on it. Besides if I acted like that maybe I'd scare the poor guy away.
"Now that would be nice," I said, resisting the temptation to pinch his oh-so perfect ass as we both made our way to get out jackets.
We had decided since the weather was dry that we would walk to the restaurant. A slight chill in the air, making us quicken our step a bit. Suddenly the heavens opened up, and within seconds, Daniel and I were soaked through. He pulled me close, feeling the heat emanate from his body to mine. His lips touched mine gently, sending a million little shivers of excitement through me. Our kiss deepened and the rain got heavier.
I stopped the kiss, but couldn't pull away from his gaze or his embrace. I liked the way his hair looked, where once it fell in a middle parting at either side, now looked dishevelled and plastered flat. Making him look even more hunky and very cute.
"Let's go to my place." the words tumbled from my mouth, before I could even think
"Are you sure?" he asked.
Somehow I knew he wanted to be gentlemanly about the 'date'
I nodded, took his hand and walked at the same quickened pace to my apartment. All sorts of scenarios ran through my mind, of what might happen with this hunk of man in my possession. All I hoped was that fate was on my side with that aspect too.
When we eventually arrived at my apartment door, worry crept up on me, but at the same time passion seemed to out weigh it. Either that or sex. His arm was draped around my waist as I unlocked the door, flicking on the light.
"Nice place you got here," he said, looking around then back at me
I didn't reply I was too taken by how handsome he looked. I pulled him into the hallway, pushing him against the wall. I liked his accent but at that moment just wanted to feel his warm lips caress mine again. Our lips locked in a passionate embrace; I felt his hand slip under my coat that was soaked through with the downpour. I helped him off with his jacket, just wanting to get a better look at him.
"I think we should get out of these wet clothes." I said, blushing. I suddenly worried then thought 'I bet he thinks I do this to lots of men, but I don't.'
"As long as you are ok with it, then sure," he said, tilting my chin up, placing soft kisses on my lips.
I shivered at the slight chill in the room against my skin, or was it the kiss that had made me shiver? My clothes clung to my now cold skin, Daniel's hands felt warm. I loved the sensation his delicate touch did to me. He undressed me slowly, and somehow inside my head I wanted him to hurry, I was cold, but if I told him to hurry, he might think I was being easy. Standing there in my bra and panties, but still wearing my heels and him in his boxer shorts and shirt, suspended in time. With a man I had only just met in the space of an hour or more, his shirt open, revealing slightly defined muscles. I couldn't resist it, trailing my fingers slowly down his smooth chest. Stopping hesitantly, when I reached the waistband. I wasn't new to the company of gorgeous men, but had been single for some time. Salina’s mantra popped into my mind "Sex is sex". Sure it was ok for her, but for me I always tended to want more than just a one-night thing, so to change suddenly scared the hell out of me. I didn't want to feel like a user. I wanted something special.
Daniel's breath caressed my neck, he sighed my name making my whole body almost turn to goo, I wanted to just have him right there, but instead I resisted.
"I love the taste of your skin..." he said, his words so whisper like.
Placing gentle kisses on my neck, licking the dip of my neck to my shoulder. He sighed against it sending a cascade of excitable bolts up my spine. I couldn’t take it anymore, my hand traced the front of his boxer shorts, feeling how I was affecting him, and god he was sure affecting me too. I yearned for his fingers to explore every part of me, his lips to excite me and his tongue and mouth to devour me. One groan was all it took from him, to pull him in the direction of my bedroom.
Now it was his turn to take control, he stood back for a moment and studied me thoughtfully, his hazel eyes showing passion and eagerness. Slowly he moved close to me, making me rest against the door as it closed behind us, I watched as a devilish look sparkled in his eyes, his smooth lips curving into a smile. Leaning closer to me, he swept me up in his arms, close to his warm chest, kissing me so deeply that it felt as if he had reached inside and touched my soul.
"Daniel…” I sighed, as his kisses left my lips on a journey to my earlobe.
We held each other close; I could feel the craving he had for me so strong. In that very instant his lips pressed firm against mine, his warm tongue invading my lips, touched mine, dancing playfully, as our hands explored in the dim light of my bedroom.
"I don't tend to do this on a first meeting." I confessed, between kisses.
"Me either, but I am glad we are here, Melinda." he said leading me by the hand over to the bed.
My heart quickened, I wanted so much to see him in his full glory, and only from the street light streaming through my window I couldn't get a proper look at him. Standing at the bedside I reached down and flicked the switch of my lamp on the unit.
"I just need to get a better look at you." I said giving a smile, trailing my finger over his nipple
"Do we have to, I mean isn't it more fun to search around in the dark?" he asked, smoothing his fingers over my jaw, and then gently following the outline of my lips.
"You aren't shy are you?" I asked jokingly.
"No, course not..." his voice was hesitant.
"By what I've touched and caressed so far, I'd definitely rate you high level." I said with a cheeky expression on my face.
"But now I can see you better too,don't you mind that I can almost make love to you with only my eyes." he said, his voice was lowered and husky.
My body quivered, but I didn't mind, in fact I wanted him to look at me. To stake his claim on me and devour me with just one single look. I stared into his eyes, the colour almost dazzling, and a dark desire simmering beneath. Anticipation almost unbearable, I moved closer and kissed across his chest. I could feel the heat rise between us, he was tall, slim and slightly muscular, not a hair on his chest, just smooth to the touch, this guy probably worked out a lot, I thought to myself as I caressed every couture of his abs and pecks.
"Do you like to dance?" he asked, looking at me, his eyebrow slightly raised and a smirk on his lips.
"You're kidding, right?" I asked tilting my head on one side, giving him a cute look.
"Dance for me." he said, taking a seat on the bed.
"What, here?" I asked feeling shy suddenly.
"Yeah, right here." he said getting himself under the bed sheets before I could coax him off with his boxer shorts
"I'll do it if you join in." I teased, standing with my hands on my hips
"Maybe..." he said, a slight huskiness in his voice making him sound even more irresistible.
I stood at the end of the bed, my heart pounding and excitement rising in my stomach. I'd never done this sort of thing before and my dancing wasn't that top notch either. Apprehensively I swallowed hard and pushed my inhibitions to one side, I wanted to please him, but if he wanted a dancer, he'd definitely picked the wrong girl. I giggled nervously then smiled
Daniel lay out on the bed, the sheet semi covering the bottom part of his body, his lips firm and sensual and his eyes sparked with passion and desire.
I took a deep breath and tried my best to dance erotically for him, I watched as his eyes widened. Leaning slightly forward he slowly licked his lips. Moving as sexy as I could, I held onto the bedpost, dipped down, shimmied a bit then leaned forward blowing him a kiss, my cleavage almost spilling out of my bra. I started to really relax and enjoy myself.
"Undress for me," he said pointing at my bra.
I swallowed hard again, the relaxing feeling I had moments ago, became a giant knot in my stomach, I looked down at myself, looked around the room, looking anywhere except at him. When I finally looked at him, his eyes seemed to calm me; I started to feel more relaxed again.
"Remember, slow and sexy. Make me want you... honey." his voice held a rasp of excitement tinged with authority.
He was making me want him so bad, his facial expressions, and the way he licked his lips, running his fingers through his hair, keeping his eyes on me every move I made.
"What are you doing?" I asked in a playfully sexy tone.
"Maybe I'll tell you, and maybe I won't." he said then grinned, his eyes dark and mysterious.
I eased my off my bra and watched his hands slip beneath the sheets, and then biting his lower lip, I fathomed a guess of what he was up to.
"Don’t you want me, honey?" I said, teasing him
I threw my lace bra on the floor, then trailing my fingertips over the contours of my breasts, my nipples pink and wanting, needing his touch.
"I want you, Melinda" his voice husky almost a whisper.
I couldn't quite understand it, I was never this type of girl to do all these things, but I was glad in a way I had released the inner wild woman that simmered beneath and sometimes screamed to get out. I massaged my breasts, my own touch awakening a desire within me, my hand slowly lowered down my stomach. Tensing, at my own delicate touch. I couldn't contain myself anymore; with urgency, I pushed my hand into my panties, feeling how excited this sex god had gotten me. My mouth open, a sigh escaping my lips, I heard Daniel sigh with me. It was just too much to handle. I had to have him, that moment. His warm flesh against mine, hot passionate kisses, the whole package.
Like a Lioness on the prowl, I got on the bed and crawled towards him, he seemed to study me intently. My lips touched his, the warmth of his fingers caressing my shoulders as he held me close. Leaning back, I pulled the sheets away and almost gasped at the sight of him, he was truly handsome. Not many words were said between us. I just had to overcome my expectations of relationships, and reminded myself 'It's just a one night thing' but wanting him and needing him was so different. Pushing my thoughts to one side I straddled his waist his cologne was so delicious, making my senses plays tricks on me, easing his erection inside me I felt a wash of ecstasy rush through my body, no one had ever made me feel that way, or even that quickly.
He closed his eyes, moving in time with me, but I wanted him to look at me, his dark earthy eyes devouring me as much as his body was.
"Look at me, gorgeous." I sighed, feeling his warm body against mine, his firm yet delicate fingers gripping my hips.
Daniel's eyes met mine, sending a shiver down my spine, I smiled at him. His fingers moved slowly up my sides and across my breasts, cupping then gently, tracing his thumb over my pert nipples. I leaned my head back; I couldn't contain myself any longer.
"Daniel..." I breathed, shuddering as my climax approached.
"Melinda... Oh baby!"
Holding onto me, he thrust his hips towards mine; slipping deeper into me, with one final push and a long sensual groan, he was spent.
I lay down next to him, his body close to mine, his fingers stroking my hair. This truly was a night to remember.
And one of many more to come.
THE END
