Penthouse (26 page)

No more food was eaten. We played “footsy,” caressing thighs and massaging calves. The conversation didn’t stop, and we had
another drink.

I was in my business suit, and the skirt and jacket were just irritating at this point. Once I was back in my room I got out
of my suit and started unpacking for the night.

Jade had found out about the entertainment in town. It sounded like we were going to a lounge with a live band.
There was still time to relax before I got ready, so I raided the mini-bar.

I don’t know if it was the buzz the drink gave me, or the thought of Jade in the next room—but I had wonderfully warm sensations
flowing through my body. Slowly I finished my drink and then started to shower.

The hot water was gently beating down against my skin. I could feel every drop, and every drop drove my body wild. I wanted
to be touched, kissed, and held. Passion was pouring out of me, and it was coming from somewhere deep inside. I had never
felt this kind of passion before. It was amazing; I could close my eyes and it was as if each drop of water was someone else’s
fingertips against my skin. When I was washing my hair, my hands became someone else’s, Jade’s, massaging and pulling at my
scalp; my body became even more aroused. The anticipation of being with her tonight was starting to hurt. I wanted to be with
her now.

When I got out of the shower I threw on a purple silk slip and started to do my hair. That was done in seconds; my hair is
too short to spend much time on. Tonight I needed to look better than I normally did. I felt the need to impress Jade, even
though we already knew and cared for each other. Now that there seemed to be a sexual underlining, the entire meeting ritual
was somehow starting all over.

I was finishing my makeup when I heard a knock at the door. I went to answer it, before realizing the knock wasn’t at the
front door, but at the door adjoining my room to Jade’s. Just the thought of her at that door excited me. I opened it, and
she stood there in a terry-cloth robe, more attractive than ever. I felt a little insecure. She was so beautiful, and I am
so average. But the look in her eye said
something else. She couldn’t take her eyes off me, and she stumbled over her words.

“Can I borrow your hairspray? I seem to have forgotten mine.”

All I could do was smile and say yes. When I turned toward the bathroom Jade stopped me. “You look so beautiful in that slip.”
I started blushing; I could feel the burning sensation in my cheeks getting worse as I thanked her. “Is it silk?” I just nodded
my head in answer. Jade then proceeded to lay her hand on my waist to feel the material. Only she didn’t take her hand away.

I stepped toward Jade and kissed her. Just a small kiss, almost no pressure at first. That wasn’t enough though; as soon as
my lips started to part from hers, I went to kiss her again. This kiss was deep; I got chills up my spine.

We inched our way back toward the bed, kissing the entire time, Jade’s hands never leaving my waist. I had a handful of her
hair, and the soft terry cloth kept my hand from the soft skin on her waist.

We sat on the bed kissing and caressing each other; I was scared to think of the next step. I was more excited then I had
ever been in my entire life. Jade leaned against me, laying me back onto the bed. I knew I couldn’t have made the next move,
and she stepped right in.

I closed my eyes as her lips brushed against mine. All the sensations became more intense when she started nibbling at my
neck and ear. I could hear myself softly moaning, but I had no control over it. Jade moved farther down, taking my nipple
into her mouth. The wet fabric between my body and her tongue gently scratched at my nipple.

The touch of her lips stopped. All I wanted was more, so I opened my eyes to see why she was backing off. Her shoulders were
back; she was arching her back and lifting
her breasts. The soft white terry cloth fell silently to the floor. Her body was amazing—the large soft breasts, the bronze
of her tan skin, and the gentle curve of her waist— all perfect.

Jade crawled back on top of me, kissing me so deeply, so passionately. Her hand was gently pinching my nipple; her thigh started
caressing my pussy. She went back to nibbling at my silk-covered breast. Her hand slid down my stomach, then down farther.
Pushing two fingers deep into my body.

My body was so wet and warm; I could feel the pressure already in my stomach. I wanted her, and I wanted her badly. Her mouth
moved farther down my stomach; as her hands ran up my thighs, I spread my legs open a little farther. Pulling my slip up enough
to reveal my passionate V, Jade pulled my thighs up and spread them, to gently kiss my clit. All my body would let me do was
moan. The touch of her lips made the rest of the world disappear.

Jade ran her tongue up my wet, swollen flesh; all I could do was cry out in pleasure. She thrust her tongue inside my body.
My muscles started to contract, and she pulled away again. The sexual tension in my body was ready to be released. It couldn’t
build any more; at least I didn’t think it could. When Jade pulled away, though, the climax I was reaching was all of a sudden
nowhere near its peak. Jade was giving me little kisses all over my body, each one creating more gooseflesh. Between each
kiss she would whisper something new: “I want to taste you badly.” “Let me know you’re ready to come.” “Just looking at you
makes me so wet.” “Tonguing you is driving me wild.” Each phrase making me moan, making my body ache— making me call out for
more.

Jade started sucking on my clit and my body couldn’t
contain it anymore. I started trembling as the orgasm rushed through me. I moaned so loudly and called out her name.
“Oh, Jade!”
I had a handful of her hair, holding her against me. Everything rushed out of me so fast, but the ecstasy seemed to be endless.

My body started to calm. I couldn’t move, there was nothing left in me. Jade was just lying there, softly kissing my wet contracting
petals.

She then climbed up to face level and put her arms around me. I wanted to please her, make her feel the same pleasure I just
had, but when I turned toward her she just kissed me softly and said good night. I fell asleep in Jade’s arms, never wanting
to return home.

I woke the next morning to find the spot next to me empty. I looked around for a note, perhaps to explain her absence I found
nothing. My heart sank, I couldn’t believe that she would just leave without saying good-bye. I lay back down on the bed,
thinking of a reason why she would do what she did. I couldn’t come up with anything, other than the fact that I didn’t have
the kind of body she did. That maybe she regretted what she had done. Then I realized I was insane to feel that way. I mean
I had one night with her, and it had been a wonderful one. So now if it was over, it was just time to go home.…

I gathered all my things and starting packing them up, putting a few things aside to get ready before I took off. I grabbed
a drink out of the minibar while I packed. I wondered why I had brought as much stuff as I had—I was only going to be in this
town for one night. Maybe in my head something else was going on when I packed; who knows. I mean I didn’t even realize I
was attracted to Jade until she rubbed her leg against mine.

After I finished packing I jumped into the shower. This
was bound to be a longer shower; the water was so hot and relaxing. I could hear nothing over the sound of the water beating
down. I leisurely caressed my body with the soap, moving constantly, but slowly, to make the water strike down on different
parts of my body, relaxing all my muscles. Eventually I shaved and washed my hair. I think I spent a good hour under the mesmerizing
waterfall. I didn’t even realize I had been in the shower that long, it was as if I was in a complete trance.

I gently patted my body dry and threw on the hotel robe. Surprisingly it was very soft. I was combing out my hair when I heard
Jade call out: “Your breakfast is getting cold!” Instantly a smile consumed my face. Here I thought she had just left without
a word, when she only went to get food. She told me why she had been gone so long: “I wanted to be back before you woke up,
but I had trouble finding my way around this town!” My mind hadn’t even contemplated that simple reason for her absence.

She kissed me on the cheek as I walked out of the bathroom. We sat down on the edge of the bed to eat. She had gotten donuts
and coffee, not sure what I would like. I wasn’t really in the mood for eating breakfast though; I had gotten so excited when
I realized she was back, the only thing on my mind was Jade. I ate anyway—she had taken the time to buy breakfast, and it
would have been rude to eat nothing.

When I finished eating, I moved behind Jade and wrapped my arms around her. She was still eating and I took advantage of it.
I proceeded to massage her shoulders, sliding her hair over her right shoulder to expose her graceful neck. I didn’t quite
feel close enough though, so I slid my body completely along hers. You could see goose bumps form on her arms as my breath
ran across her neck.
I ran my tongue up her neckline, then softly blew a cool breath across the wet spot. As my breath ran across that spot, she
gripped my thighs and delicately moaned.

I kept rubbing her shoulders as I kissed her neck; nibbling at it in the sensitive spots. It was amazing how easy this was
for me. I thought that once I started to touch her I would shy away, but there was no apprehension. I slid my hands down her
sides, then onto her stomach. Jade took my hands and placed them on her thighs. Guiding them up and down the top of her legs.
When she went to lead my hands up again I slipped my fingers under the edge of her skirt and pulled it up.

My fingers slid between her faintly opened legs, tenderly rubbing up the heat of her panties. I could feel the moisture of
her body through the material, and it excited me all the more. Jade reached up and ran her fingers through my hair, and with
her other hand held me against her. I suckled her soft skin and nibbled at her earlobe. My fingers were caressing her clit.
I felt like the entire scene was right out of a movie, but it was real.

I turned to her and guided her back onto the bed. My leg was uncomfortably stuck underneath her. I knew she had to have felt
cramped as well, but when our lips locked, being uncomfortable didn’t seem to matter anymore. We were in a passionate kiss
when I cupped her breast. Jade just felt so right in my arms.

I pulled myself on top of her, sliding my leg from underneath her. I was kissing her when I slid her arms over her head, holding
them against the bed. Then I slid my fingertips down the length of her arms, gently caressing the sides of her breasts. She
was so beautiful lying there. Slowly I started undoing her top, exposing her ample breasts. Jade pulled herself up from the
bed so that I could
slide her shirt off. Our lips never parted for more than a second.

Jade pulled at the tie of my robe, looking deeply into my eyes. I stood and let the robe fall off my shoulders, not worried
about how I looked. Jade sat up and kissed my stomach, and a wonderful tingling sensation ran down my spine. My head fell
back as she gently bit at my nipples.

Jade wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled me back down on top of her. Her bra fastened in the front, so I quickly undid
it. I pressed my breasts against hers, rubbing up and down. The slight heat from the friction between our bodies was so erotic.
Jade said she was about to come; I couldn’t believe it. We had only been messing around at this point, but my body was very
excited as well.

I wanted to taste her; I wanted to know the feeling of her passion on my lips. I slid down to her waist, kissing her torso
in a teasing way. I undid her skirt and slid it down. She had this beautiful pair of white lace panties on. I almost didn’t
want to remove them, but then slid them down her legs. Jade said I didn’t have to do it, if I didn’t want to, but I did want
to, I almost felt like I needed to, it was an experience I deeply wanted.

I ran my hands up her thighs, spreading her legs. I kissed her inner thigh, then moved a little closer in. Leaving a little
kiss as I moved up. Then I ran my tongue up the center of her body. Jade was so wet; feeling how badly she wanted me excited
me more. I sucked her clit for a moment, and then looked up at her. She moaned softly as her eyes were held shut. I pushed
my tongue as deeply as I could into her, as she played with her nipples. Then I proceeded to insert two fingers inside her,
pushing them in and out, playfully licking her clit while I fingered her.

Jade’s body started throbbing as I kept going. She was
going to climax. She held me tightly between her legs. I moved from the lips to the clit, tickling and thrusting my tongue
against it. She moaned loudly as she reached her peak, and her hands fell to her sides. Jade lay there breathing heavily.
I had given her the same passion she had brought out in me.

I looked over to the clock and saw it was just short of checkout time. Sadly, I showed Jade the time. She sat up next to me
on the bed and said we would get together again. I kissed her softly and agreed.

I finished packing and suggested she do the same, but she had already packed up and put all her things in her car.

We kissed each other when we exited the hotel, promising to spend time together again soon. I got into my car and drove off,
with a feeling deep in my heart that I would not be seeing Jade again.

I
’ve never been much of a barhopper. In fact, I don’t even like going to bars. Spending an evening with people crying in their
beers over love gone wrong isn’t my idea of a good time. But, after my divorce became final, a couple of my friends, Mark
and Kelly, insisted that I go out for a celebratory drink. I agreed with the stipulation that it would only be for an hour.
Little did I know how much could happen in just one short hour.
