He paused before answering. “Let’s go out to dinner, and we can talk about whatever we like.”
I nodded my head, slowly at first, but then more assertively. “Yes. We shall go out to dinner.”
“I’m Lance, by the way. I can see by your name tag that your name is Katie, but I still think we owe each other a proper introduction.”
“Oh...and I overheard that your name is Lance. So there.” I couldn’t help but giggle.
“Well, does tomorrow night work?”
“No, actually I’m catering again.”
“I’ll see you then,” said Lance, and then walked away.
“But it’s at a celebrity banquet…” I whispered to nobody. What a strange person. And yet, there was no denying his allure. As much as the logical part of me, the conservative part, wanted to rid myself of him outright, the part of me that still wished to be a princess, to find true love, desired to know him more.
Maybe that was Lance’s allure, that he had the air of a knight in shining armor. I rolled my eyes at myself. Katie, don’t you fall for someone so soon!
CHAPTER 4
Lance
Katie was watching me mingle with the classmates I had nothing in common with. She was curious and I had left enough breadcrumbs to make her want to know more. I should have kissed her catching her off guard, but I didn’t want to be that guy. Inviting her to dinner was lame.
“I wouldn’t mind taking a run at her myself,” John remarked slyly with a wink to ruffle my feathers.
“That’s not a gentlemanly thing to say about a lady. It would be my suggestion for you to apologize,” I stated emphatically with my finger poking his chest.
“I was only saying what you were thinking. I don’t have anything to apologize for. You were always a little bit too defensive and nothing’s changed. There is a part of me that always wanted to wipe that smug look off your face. You could’ve had anyone and you always went after what was mine. It might be time for you to feel what it’s like to have the shoe on the other foot,” John warned like he really had a chance with Katie.
“This is not the time for a measuring contest,” I chided with a hint of a threat laced into my comment for good measure.
“I have in the past told girls whatever they wanted to hear to make them just another notch on my bedpost,” He bragged, touching on a raw nerve.
He slicked back his hair with his right hand and grabbed a glass of champagne from one of the other servers.
I spun him around and put my two hands on the collar of his starched shirt. The champagne went flying and the glass shattered on the floor spilling the contents. I was glaring with daggers and trying to intimidate without saying one word.
“Stay away from her,” I said through clenched teeth doing my best not to allow him to get underneath my skin.
“Be careful. This suit is original. I doubt you can afford something as extravagant as a Hugo boss,” He said trying to pull away and not able to break the grip I had on him.
“People here are pretenders trying to make themselves look better by embellishing the truth,” I remarked with this need to make him see how foolish he was being.
“It doesn’t matter what you say. I am going to seduce her into my bed. I will leave her like a hit and run victim in the morning,” He hinted with a wink of his eye to infuriate me further.
“You are dangerously close to making a mistake. I’m going to give you this one last chance to walk out that door on your own power. A man like you will never have a girl like her,” I snorted with derision still holding onto him and garnering a bit of unwanted attention from the other guests.
“Get your hands off of me unless you like eating through a straw for the next month,” He threatened even though I was the one holding him in place with an iron grip.
“I don’t see how you’re going to do anything unconscious,” I said prepared to strike him down in a moment of provoked rage.
“This is not the place for this. If you want to fight go outside.” Katie was interjecting herself in between us.
“Get out of my way,” John barked before placing his hands on Katie hard enough to make her fall in an unladylike way.
I punched him in the nose and followed him down onto the floor to finish the job. The only thing I could see was red. It took three other guys to pull me off of him. I turned to Katie and I could see the disgust for this barbarism in her eyes.
“You’re lucky they pulled you off of me. A cheap shot was the only way you could get the upper hand,” He warned while scrambling to his feet to face me.
His friends were holding me back like a lion caged from doing what it does naturally.
“That’s enough from the both of you,” Katie said with conviction behind her words.
“You don’t understand. He was saying how easy it would be to get you into bed. I was protecting your honor,” I said with my anger evident by how my fists were clenched.
“I don’t need anybody protecting me.” She turned and squarely kicked John right between the uprights. “I wouldn’t give him the time of day.” She stormed off after showing her dominance.
John was staring at her and holding his two hands to where no man ever wanted a woman to show her wrath. He fell to his knees. The three guys holding me were suddenly laughing at his expense.
His eyes had rolled up into the back of his head. No woman had any reason to fear being made into his victim. He was going to be licking his wounds. Not literally. That would be gross.
I saw her leaving and I followed plainly impressed by her moxie. I caught up to her and grabbed her by the shoulder. She turned with the speed of a jungle cat. She pressed me up against one of the lockers with her hand on my chest.
“I don’t need this caveman mentality. Why is it so hard to find a man who doesn’t rely on his macho attitude?” She questioned with my body responding to how close she was.
“A man instinctively believes he has to protect his woman from harm. It might be antiquated, but it’s built into our DNA. Women claim to want their independence, but deep down they still require the manly art of persuasion.” I watched her reaction and the feeling of her fingers lightly scratching at my shirt was a good sign things were going to progress.
“A woman wants it all and we are no longer going to settle for second best. We want the security but we also want them to know when to back off. Sometimes we desire a man to be soft when other times we demand a more forceful demeanor. I can’t decide what kind of man you are,” She fumed with this heated exchange having an unseen side effect.
I was slightly startled by how she pulled my hair down to where our lips met. It was rather unexpected and welcome.
I moved my hands around her, pressing her closer with my fingers at the small of her back. The fire inside her burned brightly, until she felt compelled to show it physically. I was at a loss for words. I was pretty much trapped within her gravity and this heated exchange of our passions.
My hands found a bit more confidence and were soon grabbing her posterior I heard her moan and witnessed her eyes widening with anticipation. Her pupils dilated, her attraction to me was clear. Those cheeks were supple and hard enough to bounce a quarter off of. Her fingers found their way to my waistband.
I sucked in my gut, making it easier for her to slip in without any resistance from my belt. She bypassed my black boxer briefs, until she was holding firmly to the object of her affection. I was moaning. The smile at the corners of her mouth told me how much she appreciated the enthusiasm.
We were making out like lovesick teenagers. In high school, I never did get much further than second base. My high school locker was no more than a few feet away. I would have never contemplated being attacked by a ravenous woman in the very hallways I had matriculated. If I could only time travel and tell my sixteen year old self that I would be making out with a beautiful girl like Katie against the locker.
Her tongue was in my mouth. The fo
rcefulness of her approach was unlike the prim and proper little dainty flowers I had always been with. A strong and confident woman was exactly who I was tangling with.
She eventually released me from her anxious hands. Katie was touching her lips with her head bowed. This girl was brazenly staring at my unfurling flag. It was giving her a salute to fill out my pants noticeably.
“I’m… I’m…sorry. I don’t know what came over me in the heat of the moment. I have to get back to work. Please forgive me,” She apologized, but I didn’t feel there was any reason for her to feel bad about what she did. It was a departure from those girls in the past. There was this instant electricity crackling between us.
She stumbled on her heels and I grabbed her before she lost her balance. Her eyes sparkled and her lipstick was smeared no doubt leaving her mark on my mouth.
“You said more than you think with that kiss. I have to say you have my undivided attention,” I complimented the way she had allowed her anger to be manipulated into something more telling.
“I have to go. I’ve embarrassed myself enough tonight.” I couldn’t let this be the final moments between us.
The feeling of her hand on me was making another part of me beg for more. I felt like I was going to become a little reckless, but what more could I do under the influence of her beauty and grace.
It was my time to do something totally out of character.
CHAPTER 5
Katie
I was stupid and I allowed my emotions to fuel my craving for him. I attempted to walk away before fooling myself into thinking there was the possibility of a future in his arms. His hand was holding me by the wrist. I didn’t feel threatened.
“I can’t let you go.” He looked around frantically and then dragged me down the hall until we were in a vacant classroom.
The door closed and I found myself pinned up against the blackboard with the chalk marring my attire. He had my arms over my head and he was returning the kiss I had given him with the same intensity.
His hands snuck underneath my short skirt, touching the wetness of my excitement and not appearing to be the least bit surprised.
“I don’t know what has gotten into me,” He said exasperated with his fingers pulling back the crotch of my panties.
“If you’re not careful I know what’s going to be in me.” I didn’t mean it to encourage him, but his finger was already there waiting for some kind of permission. “Go ahead… I know you want to. I would hate to think your curiosity went unfulfilled,” I cooed softly underneath my breath.
“You should never dangle the bait unless you are prepared to use it,” He warned using a fishing term to cast his line.
“Oh my god… you just touched me and now I want more. I hope you’re not going to tease me and leave me without putting a smile on my face. I want to go on the record to state this isn’t like me. I don’t go around jumping the first man who captures my eye. Give me a reason to give you a chance,” I pleaded and found him more than receptive.
I jumped out of my skin when I felt the hard wood of the ruler smacking my bare ass. He smiled wickedly before pulling at my buttons. I had to slow him down by putting my hand on his. I didn’t want to go back to work with a couple of buttons missing. Jen would have questions I didn’t want to answer.
“Forgive me, I’m a little nervous and I might be out of practice,” He informed, but this was most likely something familiar he had done in the back seat of his father’s Chevy.
“We might be getting a little carried away. It would be a good idea for cooler heads to prevail.” I waited with bated breath and he was soon unsnapping my bra with the expertise that only came from being with more than one woman in his life.
“I don’t want to stop. I don’t think you want me to.” He was pressing my breasts together and moving his tongue back from one to the other.
It was enough to cause my legs to tremble. My whole body began to twitter with this hungry itch I wasn’t going to be able to scratch alone.
“God help me, but this has got to be the most exciting thing I’ve ever done in my life,” I exclaimed with my mind short-circuiting on the pleasure he was inflicting on me.
He was ravenously devouring my cherry tips. His teeth were scratching along them before sucking them deep. I moaned and pressed his head against my chest to get a better seal. The feeling was indescribable as my whole world was opening up for the first time.
“I need more… I want more.” The words sounded foreign coming from my lips.
“I knew there was something more between us than our verbal sparring match,” He uttered with his hand pulling at the fabric of my dainty material.
He was on his knees and somehow he was able to turn me with my ass in his face. He burned a trail from my ankle up to the inside of my thigh. His tongue traced the outline of my panties. I felt them moving down my legs until they were trapped around my ankles.
He smacked both cheeks at the same time echoing in the enclosed space. I jumped from the contact, but it did not make me want to run in the opposite direction. Those very same hands left an imprint of his fingers in my flesh.
Lance was now pulling back those very same cheeks to see the target of his desire. He lightly flicked his tongue along the wet and sodden lips of my sex. I was scratching the blackboard with my red painted fingernails sending a shiver down my spine. The added bonus was enough to make me anxious to see what was going to happen next.
“You really do have a way about you which is hard to resist. I should have my head examined. I don’t want to think about anything besides the way you make me feel.” I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I certainly wasn’t prepared for his long and extended tongue making entry.
I should’ve known considering it was already in my mouth. He was able to touch me like no man had ever done before. It was an inspiring performance. I was determined to stand up and applaud his efforts. I screamed with my cheek pressed up against the board.
“I know there’s no way I can duplicate what you’re doing to me. Get that tongue in deep where it belongs. My god, it feels like it’s going to come out of my mouth,” I moaned in submission having no idea how I had gotten myself into the situation. It was a slow progression but destined to be an experience to remember.
I wasn’t even thinking about tomorrow when the present and the feeling of his tongue were driving me up the wall. I was always a bit more selective. Being with him was a pleasure beyond words. He was complicated and complex in a tight little package made to be appreciated.
“I feel liberated… I feel like you have me where you want me.” His tongue came out and circled my clit which was making the walls of resistance crumble before me.
The sloppy sounds of his oral consumption were music to my ears. He was pushing me to the limits ever closer to the edge. The first penetration of his finger made me bear down on him with the kind of suction to draw him into me up to the first knuckle.
“I have no idea how you’re doing that. There are no words in the English dictionary to possibly convey what I’m feeling,” I announced in a higher voice about to hit the crest of my excitement.
He knew exactly what he was doing. Lance was a man of many talents, not the least which was his ability to make me scream at the top of my lungs. I was very close and it wasn’t going to take much more stimulation to drive his point across.
“My days in school would have been far better had you been there to do this at lunchtime. I was a bit of a wallflower… fuck… stay right there and don’t move,” I ordered him to make no sudden movements and to continue his pursuit of my pleasure.
He devoured me and had me clinging to the last vestige of good sense. The thin thread of my sanity broke with the high decibel of my outcry of pleasure. I unleashed a torrent of my sweet cream and he was right there to siphon every single drop.
I shuddered to his touch and the feel of his tongue lapping noisily at my discharge. He prolonged the expe
rience by continuing to sizzle my flesh with the tip of his tongue.
I could feel his hot breath on my neck during the aftermath. His hot knob was prickling my pussy lips. There was this lump in my throat from how close he was to penetrating the inner sanctum.
“I want it so damn bad I can taste it. Give it to me before I change my mind,” I begged with my voice hoarse from letting out my passion.
“I know you do. It’s the reason why I’m waiting. Patience is a virtue.” I was overcome with this yearning to have him inside me. I tried to reach back and grab him, but he slapped my hands away defiantly.
I heard the door and the gasp of surprise from the janitor standing at the threshold. He was stunned, but not as much as I was when Lance made his exit with his excitement hanging loosely from the open fly of his pants.
I had to take a few moments to compose myself. I sat there trying to catch my breath and wondering if it really happened. I didn’t think I was ever going to see him again.
CHAPTER 6
Lance
I made sure to dress to the nines. It wasn’t hard. I had the best suits money could buy. I had googled where her company would be before I asked her where she would be on Saturday night. And when I saw she would be at a celebrity banquet, I knew it would be perfect. I would show up, and surprise her. I couldn’t wait to see the look on her face. She thought it was over and I left her wanting more. I had no idea how I was able to leave with her looking so damn delicious. She was a feast for the eyes.
I felt sort of bad leaving her in an embarrassing situation. Getting caught wasn’t part of the plan. I didn’t even have a plan. It all happened quickly and spontaneously. Nothing like that had ever happened before. I was in position to shock and make it up to her at the same time. The dinner was for high rollers and those of immense wealth and influence.
The plates were over $2,000 a piece, and of course it wasn’t just for celebrities, it was for whoever could pay that amount.
