hips, he went downstairs to fetch cookies and his glasses.
He’d put on his glasses and was in the midst of stacking some cookies on a plate when he heard her coming down the stairs. “Charlotte?”
“I’m moving the party to the living room.”
“Okay.” Her house, her rules.
“Did you fix my electronics?”
“Yes.” He walked into the living room with the plate of cookies and found her arranging her comforter on the sofa.
She’d also put on a silky black robe. “Took you about five minutes to hook up the system, didn’t it?”
“Well, I –”
“Tell the truth, Mr. Bainbridge.”
“Yes, but –”
“Don’t worry.” She flashed him a brilliant smile. “You don’t have to spare my feelings. I’m blissed out on great sex so my lack of technical skills doesn’t matter to me at the moment. Besides, that’s what got you over here.”
“Good point.”
“But if everything’s ready to go, don’t you think we should test it out?”
“Um, sure.” He’d hoped for more time in her cozy bedroom but if she wanted to see if the entertainment system worked, then he’d go along with that. “Got something you want to watch?”
“Yeah, it’s a foreign film I’ve been hearing about.”
“Okay.” He would have preferred something along the superhero line, but she had the right to pick the movie to test her equipment. He set the plate of cookies on the coffee table as she picked up the two remotes.
“I hereby launch this entertainment system!” She clicked the first remote and the screen blinked on. “Yay, it works! Thank you, Tony!”
“You’re welcome.”
“Come sit down.” She patted a spot beside her. “I think you’ll like this movie.”
He sincerely doubted it. To begin with, it had subtitles. He was so not into subtitles. And nothing seemed to be happening. A man and a woman stood talking in a room and he didn’t bother reading the words on the screen because there was no action.
But he sat down and she scooted over next to him. They each grabbed a cookie from the plate and at least that part was to his liking. Having her silk-clad body nestled against him didn’t suck, either.
Then the couple in the movie began kissing and before long they’d started taking off their clothes. Charlotte reached for another cookie and snuggled closer as the actors began to caress each other. The combination of Charlotte’s warm body pressed against his, the taste of cookies and the action on the screen had a predictable effect.
As his cock grew hard, he cleared his throat. “Is this a porn movie?”
“No, it’s art.” She finished her cookie and let her hand rest on his thigh.
“I can’t tell the difference.”
“The lighting’s more subtle.”
“If you say so.” He took a slow breath. “Just curious, but did you happen to bring down –”
“This?” She pulled a condom from her bathrobe pocket. “Are you in the market?”
He forced himself not to snatch it out of her hand. “That depends.” His body grew hot and his pulse quickened. “Are you satisfied that your electronics are working properly?”
“Very satisfied regarding that issue. However, there’s another issue in which I’m not quite satisfied. Perhaps you could –”
“Oh, yeah, I certainly could.” He urged her down to the sofa cushions and made short work of the tie holding her robe closed. Tossing aside the towel he’d wrapped around his hips, he slipped on the condom she’d given him and joined her on the sofa. “But you might miss some of the movie.”
She smiled. “The movie was actually designed to get you hot.”
“FYI, when you’re around, I don’t need a movie to get me hot.”
“I’ll be sure to remember that.”
“And this.” Parting her thighs, he eased into her warmth. The back of the sofa interfered with his movements, but he wasn’t about to complain. As the couple on the screen drew closer to mutual satisfaction, so did he and Charlotte.
He’d never made love to
