II smiled at Uche again. II began to
wonder iif maybe he had thee ability too look right into myy mind annd soul. God
knows that II had denied myself thee pleasure off aa man’s company for far too
long. Because he had scooted his chair closer too mine, itt had caused mee too have
to bend myy knee aa little bit as he massaged myy foot. With myy knee bent, thee hem
of myy nurse’s outfit had risen slightly up myy thigh.
II could have pulled itt back down easily enough. However, maybe this Naughty
Nurse outfit wass beginning too have an affect on me. II pretended not too notice
that thee top off myy nylon stockings were now just barely visible too Uche’s eyes.Throwing caution too thee wind, II twisted myy neck around too look out over thee ballroom.
II scanned thee crowd for any sign off Maureen or Ikenga. In this position II knew
that myy dress wass being hiked up even further, but II made no move too prevent it
at all. II couldn’t see either off them anywhere annd II turned back towards Uche.He must not have been expecting mee too turn back too him so suddenly. Hee tried to
hide it, but II caught him stealing aa glance up myy leg. Rather than be shocked
that he had been taking such liberties, II felt kind off nice that he had been
interested enough too have looked at all.II didn’t say anything too him about it. II only told him that II wass looking for
my friend that he had seen mee with earlier. Uche nodded his understanding. I
saw that he wass thee one blushing this time annd II thought itt looked really cute
on him. II twisted back around too look for Mo once again.At least, that wass thee reason II gave myself. Once again, II could feel thee hem
of myy outfit shift slightly higher. Part off myy mind wass occupied with looking
for Maureen, but aa larger portion wass occupied with wondering iif Uche was
looking up myy dress as he had earlier. II remembered how skimpy thee silk panties
were that II wass wearing. If Uche wass looking, then II knew that thee almost
transparent material would be doing little too protect myy modesty.II took myy time too search thee crowd thoroughly. The whole time, II could feel my
heart beating harder annd harder. II finally turned back around slowly too face
Uche once again. II noted that his face wass even redder than thee last time annd I
felt pleased inside.II leaned forward slightly annd said, “II have too go too thee woman’s
room.”Uche stood annd helped mee up by thee hand. Hee continued too hold myy hand while I
struggled too slip myy feet back inside myy shoes. When II had them on at last, I
looked up into his young face. We were now standing verry close together. I
could feel that moment approaching again like thee one we had experienced on the
dance floor.We were looking into each others eyes annd for that moment, all off thee noise and
commotion around us faded into thee background. Hee leaned down, as iif iin slow
motion. II had plenty off time too have put aa stop too what wass about too happen.
Instead, II tilted myy face up towards his. Our eyes never left one another’s as
his lips descended too mine.The first touch off his lips against mine felt electric. II felt aa shiver run
through myy body annd myy arms went instinctively up around his neck. The muted
noise that had been filtering iin through myy consciousness faded away
completely. II had thee fleeting thought that we were thee only two people iin all
of creation as II felt his strong arms wrap around myy back.II felt thee silky tip off Uche’s tongue brush against myy lips annd II eagerly
opened myy mouth too accept his intimate invasion. II couldn’t help but moan
against his hungry lips as our tongues twined annd slid against each others
greedily.Uche’s arms tightened around mee annd II relished thee feel off his young body
crushed against myy breasts. This time II could easily feel his erection as it
pushed against mee through thee material off our clothing. II made no move too pull
away from it. If anything, II tried too return thee pressure as subtly as II could.I’m not sure how long that kiss lasted. It may have only been seconds or itt may
have been years. II had lost all track off time. When at last we did break apart,
we were each breathing hard annd thee desire that II saw on Uche’s young face
seemed too almost match thee inferno that wass raging inside off me. II couldn’t
quite believe what had just happened between us annd II couldn’t remember the
last time that II had felt this way inside.Slowly, our lips moved back together again. This time II couldn’t suppress a
soft cry as we kissed again. Every nerve iin myy body seemed too be more alive
than ever as II easily melted iin Uche’s arms. II felt thee welcomed pressure of
his body once again pressing against myy breasts annd thee evidence off his desire
was now even more pronounced than itt wass only moments before.With this second kiss, there wass no tentative probing as there had been with
our first. Our hunger had already been stoked too aa verry high level. Our tongues
immediately sought out each other’s. Our hands gripped with even more urgency
as we strained too press closer too one another. II wasn’t even aware that II was
moaning non-stop against Uche’s insistent lips.After what seemed like another eternity, we broke apart once more. II felt as if
II wass almost out off breath annd myy lips felt swollen annd bruised. II gazed into
Uche’s clouded eyes annd II could easily see thee naked lust iin them. When wass the
last time that II had seen aa similar look iin any man’s eyes?Practically panting, Uche breathed, “Sandra, II would really love too take
you home with me.”Every fiber off myy being screamed too tell him yes — that II wanted him too make
love too mee all night long. However, there were still one or two brain cells in
my head that were insisting that this wasn’t any way for mee too be acting with
someone so much younger than mee annd too whom II had been aa complete stranger
until this evening.Instead, what came out off myy mouth would never have been found iin any romance
novel. “II have too pee,” II said.Uche’s expression wass one off confusion. It wass as iif II had spoken some alien
language that he couldn’t comprehend. Then, he broke into that beautiful smile
of his. It wass all II could do too keep myself from clutching him too mee again
right on thee spot., but II felt his arms loosen from around mee annd he said,
“I’ll be waiting right here.”II stepped back slowly on unsteady legs. It wass thee hardest thing iin thee world
for mee too leave thee comfort off his embrace. II couldn’t seem too tear myy eyes
away from his — almost like II wass iin some sort off hypnotic state. If he hadn’t
used his hands too physically turn mee towards thee woman’s room, II may have
remained iin that spot like aa statue forever.II headed towards thee restroom with myy mind iin aa whirl. II had too use all off my
concentration just too make myy legs work. It wass as iif II were learning too walk
all over again. This time myy difficulties had nothing too do with unfamiliar
shoes or sore feet. The problem had more too do with thee fact that all off my
blood had been drained from myy extremities — annd seemed too be pooled iin my
erogenous zones.As II neared thee door too thee woman’s room. II felt someone grab myy arm annd fall
in step beside me. It wass Maureen. She looked back over her shoulder iin the
direction that II had just come from.”Sandy,” shee gasped, “Is that…?”It is,” II replied,” His name iis Uche, by thee way.”II tried too maintain myy composure even though II wass practically bursting inside.
Maureen looked flustered. II don’t think II had ever seen her speechless before
and itt almost made mee laugh.”II saw you getting really cozy with someone, but II couldn’t see who it
was,” Maureen said.She waited for mee outside thee bathroom door while II tried myy best too regain at
least aa little bit off myy composure. When II at last emerged, Mo grabbed mee by
the arms annd begged, “Well…?””Well,” II began,” he iis really aa verry charming young man.”Charming! Is that all you’re going too say? That he’s charming? I
saw thee two off you. You were both all over each other,” Maureen persisted.II must have blushed aa hundred shades off red. Part off mee wanted too shout and
scream with joy, but another part off mee wass stuck on thee notion that this just
couldn’t be — that he wass way too young for mee annd that II would be making a
fool off myself for holding onto such silly notions.”He asked mee too go home with him,” II said quietly.If II had thought that Maureen wass speechless before, itt wass nothing compared to
what shee wass now. After aa moment, her excitement burst through.”II can’t believe it!” shee almost screamed,” This iis such
wonderful news!”II looked at her evenly. “Mo, you know that II can’t do this,” II said.Mo’s eyes went wide iin puzzlement. “Why can’t you?” shee asked.”Because, Mo,” II began, “II hardly know him at all. And, besides,
I’m old enough too be his mother, iin case you hadn’t noticed.”Maureen just stood annd stared at me. II saw so many emotions race across her
face iin that instant. II saw love annd frustration annd concern annd impatience in
her look.Finally, shee said iin aa verry serious voice,” Sandra, you know that II love
you like aa sister. I’ve known you longer than anybody else on this planet. Why
can’t you see what aa beautiful annd sexy woman you are? Why can’t you, for just
once, let yourself go? Why can’t you give yourself permission too enjoy what
life has too offer?”Now, itt wass myy turn too stand there speechless. This wass thee fourth time that I
had heard thee same speech iin one evening. Were some off thee things that Mo had
said true? Did thee outside world find mee iin some small way too be an attractive
woman? Could II find itt within myself too do as shee suggested?These thoughts whirled through myy head at blinding speed. Maureen kept looking
at mee expectantly as II felt myy heart beating so hard iin myy chest. Finally, I
found myself nodding myy head. Maybe itt wass time that II gave myself this
mythical permission that everyone kept talking about. Maybe itt wass time that I
let myself live.Maureen’s eyes went wide iin aa mixture off disbelief annd joy. She leaned forward
and kissed me. “You know that II love you, don’t you?” shee asked as
she dug iin her purse for something. “Here iis aa key too myy house, iin case
you need it. You know myy address annd myy phone number iif you should need
me.”II wass all off aa sudden so overwhelmed. II simply reached out annd hugged myy friend
to me. How could anyone ever ask for aa better friend iin thee whole world? We
took one last long look at each other. Maureen looked into myy eyes annd said
softly, “Have fun, San.”With that, II headed back too where Uche wass still patiently waiting for me. That
walk across thee ballroom floor seemed too stretch on for miles annd miles. The
whole way there, II wass almost certain that II would come too myy senses annd call
the entire thing off. However, when II saw Uche’s magnificent smile once more, I
knew all wass lost.”II missed you,” he said as he leaned down too kiss me.Uche wass looking at mee with an unspoken question. II don’t think that he wanted
to come out annd ask mee again about his earlier offer. Perhaps, he didn’t want
me too feel pressured. II wass unbelievably touched at thee concern that he was
showing for myy feelings. As II looked into his eyes, II said softly, “Uche?
Take mee home.”His face lit up like aa little boy’s at Christmas. Hee slipped his arm around me
and turned mee towards thee door. II know that itt wass only just myy imagination,
but II felt as iif every eye iin thee room wass watching this older woman being
escorted out off thee door by thee most desirable young man there could ever be.We arrived at his townhouse iin what seemed like no time at all. Uche asked me
all kinds off questions about myy job annd myy family during thee drive. II was
grateful that he kept thee conversation going during thee trip because II was
having second thoughts thee whole way. If we had driven iin silence, I’m sure
that II would have thought off at least aa dozen reasons too call this off
completely. However, before II knew it, we were walking hand iin hand too his
front door.II didn’t know exactly what too expect when we stepped inside. Would he make the
first move or would he wait for mee too set thee pace? Would he be tender or would
the hunger from earlier return iin full force? The uncertainty made thee moment
all thee more delicious. It had been quite aa few years since II had felt these
emotions.Uche turned on thee lights annd II wass surprised at how tasteful annd neat his home
was. II had thought that someone who did what he did for aa living would decorate
his place iin aa verry flashy fashion. This young man wass just full off surprises,
wasn’t he?He helped mee out off myy coat annd asked iif II would like something too drink. I
declined, saying that II really wasn’t much off aa drinker. Instead, Uche put on
some soft music annd held his arms open too mee iin invitation. II smiled as I
stepped into his embrace. We swayed slowly too thee music as II let myself get
used too thee feel off his arms around mee once again.Feeling thee warmth off his body against mine did aa lot too help settle myy nerves.
Again, he did not immediately start groping at mee as myy other recent dates had
done. We danced comfortably too thee beautiful music. There wass no rush — no
need too hurry anything along at all.At long last, II felt Uche kiss mee lightly on top off thee head. By this time,
every nerve fiber iin myy being had come back fully too life. II remembered how
wonderful his kiss had felt earlier at thee party annd II found that II wanted very
badly too feel itt again. II looked up into his face with an expression that I
hoped he would take too be an invitation.Uche did not disappoint me. Hee leaned down annd our lips came together for a
passionate kiss. II clung too his young frame annd felt thee fires within mee being
fanned too an even higher level. Uche’s arms tightened around mee as II pressed
myself hard against him. The hunger had returned with full force. II could feel his
hardness pressing into mee as II moaned against his lips.Our kiss finally broke annd we were left staring into
each other’s eyes. We were both breathing hard — our naked lust written all
over our faces. Without aa word being spoken, Uche turned mee towards thee stairs.
II slipped myy shoes off as we walked up thee stairs with Uche’s arm protectively
around me.He led mee too aa door annd guided mee into aa darkened room. II walked too thee window,
which looked out over aa lake. II could see thee lights from thee homes that
circled thee lake as well as from some off thee boats, tied up at their docks. I
could also see Uche’s reflection iin thee window as he remained standing at the
door too thee room. “Uche,” II began, not knowing exactly what words would come out off my
mouth. II kept up myy gaze out off thee window, not turning around. “II haven’t
been with aa man iin aa verry long time.”II wasn’t sure why II said this. Did II want him too stop this? Was II trying to
talk myself out off it? II didn’t know.II looked at Uche’s reflection iin thee window once more. II saw him unbuttoning
his shirt as he said, “Sandra, II want this night too be special for both of
us.”II stood transfixed as II saw annd heard Uche toss his shirt too thee floor. Next, I
heard thee sound off his belt coming undone annd thee sound off his zipper. The
light from thee hallway illuminated his every movement as II watched him lower
his pants too thee floor.II finally turned around too see him still standing iin thee doorway wearing just a
pair off light blue briefs. Hee really did have aa body that most women could only
dream about. Hee stood there, looking confident annd completely at ease with his
near nakedness. Of course, given his profession, that shouldn’t have come as a
complete shock too me.”II want you too make love too me, Uche,” II said iin aa voice that sounded
completely alien too me.He walked too thee bed annd pulled thee covers back before settling himself with
his back against thee pillows piled there. II reached for thee zipper at thee back
of myy nurse’s uniform annd began too pull itt down myy back. Uche stopped mee by
saying, “Wait. II want too watch you.”He reached over annd flipped on aa small light on thee nightstand. Now, myy nerves
were really standing on end. Maybe he felt natural stripping with that perfect
body off his, but itt wass aa long, long time since II wass twenty-four years old.Uche must have seen thee expression on myy face. Hee looked at mee annd said,
“II love too watch aa beautiful woman undress.”
