since the day
she’d broken up with him.
    “We’re meeting the
men at the restaurant,” she said ignoring me, “so we should get going if we
want to make it on time.”
    “Of course.” I
picked up my overnight bag since I’d planned to spend the night at Sylvia’s
house and followed her out the door into the unknown.
    I locked the
door behind me and gave one last longing glance at my home. I looked to the
bushes at the side of the house and imagined that the stranger was there
watching me, his eyes roaming over the way I was dressed, wanting me more than
anyone else possibly could. I sighed again and let myself into the passenger
side of Sylvia’s car resigned to my fate.
    Fifteen minutes
later we pulled into a semi crowded parking lot of Damon’s Steakhouse and Sylvia
tried to find a parking spot. I said a silent prayer that maybe we’d have to
turn around and leave and that would be the end of the evening but of course,
it would never work out that way. She parked and we made our way into the
lobby, pushing past all the others waiting for their tables. Sylvia said
something to the hostess which I couldn’t make out over the noise of the people
and music but the hostess smiled and caught the attention of one of the waiters
who led us to our table where Ben and Nick already waited. I looked around
nervously. Less than two hours ago I was lost in erotic oblivion being served
as the dessert to a beautiful waitress and my mystery lover. Dream or not, it
still felt real and the feelings still lingered deep in my belly. I still
desperately needed a release.
    I’d only met Ben
once or twice during the brief time that he and Sylvia dated but he was still
every bit the charming man that I remembered. His cousin Nick stood to pull out
my chair for me and I noticed the resemblance between the two fair-haired men
immediately. Nick smiled at me and I immediately felt at ease. I slipped into
the chair and wondered if perhaps this evening might not be so bad after all. I
took a sip of the glass of water that waited for me at the table and once again
thanked my lucky stars that I’d had the foresight to choose the black lacy panties
and matching bra rather than the plain ones.
    “It’s nice to
see you again,” Ben said to me after the introductions had finished. He smiled
warmly but it didn’t compare to the warmth in his eyes when he looked at Sylvia.
The two seemed to be locked in some silent communication as they stared at each
other. I shifted uneasily, realizing that I should probably say something to
Nick, but never being one that was very good at small talk. I almost wished we
could skip the pretense of dinner and an evening out and just get to the
business at hand. I did a mental head slap. What was I thinking? Where was the
girl that used to shy away from guys? I seemed to have abandoned her at the
doorstep the moment I invited the stranger into my home. Now I couldn’t get
enough. I picked up my water glass again and finished half of it as the
waitress appeared at our table to take our orders. I felt relief wash over me
since this saved me from making conversation with Nick.
    Dinner went
about as smoothly as it could have considering the reason that we were all
sitting there in the first place. Despite my reluctance, Nick insisted on
paying for my dinner which left me with an uneasy feeling of obligation which I
quickly tried to drown with a strong rum and coke the moment we walked into the
night club. Sylvia ordered the same and we found a dark corner to sit and enjoy
our drinks and thankfully, be released from our obligation to talk over the
thundering of the music around us. I watched the people on the dance floor as I
sipped my drink. Nick sat beside me with his arm casually draped around me. He
was getting awfully comfortable at a quick rate, but when I went to pull away,
I reminded myself, that was the whole point. I didn’t know how long we’d hang
around at the club. Knowing Sylvia, it would only be
