breath she went back to him.
Lois stood before him in a dark blue, strapless sequenced dress that brushed the floor. Form fitted. The slit up the side of her leg showed just enough leg to make a mind imagine more.
Four inch heels matched perfectly. A single strap crossed her toes, showing off her newly pedicured nails. French tipped. Shaw, again dark blue to match the dress, draped around her shoulders. Her hair curled just right. Each curl bounced off her shoulders as she moved.
“You look stunning.” Lois never would have thought a man could make her turn so many shades of red with just a few words. “I like it when you blush Peaches. It’s quite the turn on as well.” She blushed further as he extended his arm smiling at her. Lois smiled back looping her arm in his. Immediately she felt the warmth of his touch sizzle through to her skin. She thought of how she could hold on to him forever. Just stay in this moment that they were both in. But then they stopped at his car as he opened the door for her to get in.
The drive there was quiet. Lois was expecting him to ask her in further detail about what had happened earlier but he didn’t.
She watched as his hand moved from his leg to the gear shift to shift the gears and back to his leg. She wished his hand was on her leg. On her breast. Between her legs. How can I be thinking like this after what just happened?
“Lois, are you having difficulties over there?”
“No, why?”
“Red, I sure do like that color. Especially when you are the one wearing it.” He smiled as he turned into a drive. Lois couldn’t even see the house yet and she was beyond words. The driveway paved and lit up. Lined in dogwood trees in full bloom. Bright little lights wrapped in the trees, lighting the drive. The smell was breath taking.
Lois caught view of the house. There were multiple cars being parked by valet. Oh my god, valet. This is so much bigger than I thought. I’m not going to fit in. I don’t fit in here. Lois began to fidget. She tried to pull herself together before he noticed, but again, he seen all.
“Don’t be scared, it’s just dinner. With a bunch of rich people. Most of them will not impress you I suspect, they don’t me.”
“Then why invite them?”
“Deep pockets.”
“Oh.”
When they pulled up to the steps, valet opened her door, and she stepped out. Lois’s mouth was open as she looked up the front of the ‘house’. This is a mansion. A brick mansion. Assorted flowers were everywhere. A fish pond in the center of the circle drive. White shutters. White rocking chairs on the porch. Red brick. She had never seen anything like this other than in magazines.
Again he walked up and extended his arm and just as before, Lois accepted it and smiled up at him feeling a little like Cinderella going to the ball.
New experiences just keep coming with this man. Who would of thought, someone like you could make me feel as spectacular as you do. She wanted to say it out loud and would have had her nerves not gotten in the way when she looked around at all of the guests arriving.
“First time to a charity dinner Lois?”
“Yes, how did you know?”
“It’s a gift. You’re easy to read.”
“Hello Tom. It’s good to see you again.” Beautiful. Red long hair, green eyes, fair complexion. Tall model like body. She must be an ex. She is practically throwing herself at him with her eyes.
A hint of jealousy was brewing in her veins now. She wanted to know who the hell was this woman and why did she think she had the right to look at him like he was her next meal.
