It was raining again, the third day in a row, she was beginning to feel like she should build an ark . She had been at the conference all week and had just finshed her last presentation.The conference had ended so well. The new reading program had been well received and lots of people had signed up to begin the training session that she would teach.
She still had to load her luggage and books into the car. She made a mad dash to the car dodging puddles as she ran. She started to back out of her parking space when she heard the crash.Her brand new Toyota corolla jerked foward as the air bag employed pinning her back against the seat!
"Holy shit, what the hell had hit her?"
The drivers side door opened and a very wet looking guy looked in at her.
" Are you ok Miss he asked ?
"Yes I think so "she replied sliding out of her car and standing shakily on her high heeled shoes.
She looked at the back of her car and her breath caught in her throat!" "Oh my god my car!What the hell happened?
A huge truck was smashed up against her car and the trunk and bumper were totally pushed in. Her little corolla looked like a half of a car!
The guy looked at her and said "Next time maybe you should look in back of you before you back up!"
He seemed a little frustarted with her!
"ME! I SHOULD LOOK? WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM?" "There was no one in back of me when I got in the car!"
"Well honey its a parking lot.Cars and trucks move all the time."
She didn't like the way he used that term honey in such a condescending manner! They stood there in the pouring rain arguing back and forth. Her hair was plastered to her head and her makeup ran down her cheeks in little rivers. His shirt was soaked and his base ball cap dripped water into his eyes. He looked at her, grabbed her firmly by the arm, and forcefully lead her back inside the conferece center.
He walked up to the desk asked to use a phone and proceeded to call a tow truck, giving them directions as to where the accident had happened. After a few minutes he returned to where she stood. She was using a tissue to wipe her ckeeks off and stuffed it into her pocket with one hand as she raked her fingers through her hair with the other.
They just stood there glaring at each other for a minute and then he grinned and said "What the hell do I care its not my truck it belongs to the company." "Well it's my car and I care!" she said feeling angry all over again.
"Look we're not going anywhere in all this rain and with our vehicles smashed together like they are right now. Let's go sit in the lounge and warm up a little bit."
She felt foolish standing in the lobby dripping all over the marble floor. She took her raincoat off and followed him into the lounge. She excused herself and went to the ladies room . She managed to pull her hair back into a ponytail and she washed her face and and tried to dry off as best she could.
She walked back to the table he had found and that's when he noticed her, really noticed her this time. She had on a business suit with very slender fitting slacks and a jacket to match, and a scarf hanging loosely around her neck. She looked classy and really pretty he thought. " YOu look much better" without all that stuff running down your cheeks he said.She looked back a him through her green eyes and began to take inventory of him for the first time. Nice build, broad shoulders and very tall maybe 6'2 0r 6'3. Very nice blue eyes and a head of very wet dark hair.Maybe mid thirty's she guessed. Very nice she thought.He had inventoried her as well and liked what he saw. Slim build, average height and from what he could see a very nice body. Early fourties he would have guessed. Her green eyes flashed at him and for the first time he saw her smile, wow it was a hundred watts at least.
He had taken the liberty of ordering her a brandy, the same as he had, and she felt the warmth of it slide down her throat spreading that warm feeling through her body.They started to talk and things just clicked. He was married, no kids yet and worked for a company traveling long cross country routes. She was also married, no kids and very much into her career as a reading specialist.
They talked for hours in the lounge, sharing some appetizers and a few more drinks.It was obvious to both of them that there was a spark between them. The tow truck had come and gone, his truck was still driveable, her toyota however, was another story.It was on a flat bed truck being towed back to her home town some three hours away. She called her husband and told him she'd be staying another night and would get a rental car in the morning.
He looked at her as she walked to the ladies room again, he liked the way her body moved, gracefull, smooth, elegant. When she got back tot he table he took her hand and looked straight into those green eyes.
"What happens now?" he asked.
" I think we use that king size bed you have for the night" she said returning his direct gaze. He smiled and so did she as they walked towards the elevators.
The door to his room closed behind her.She put her arms around his neck and pressed her mouth down on his. There was no doubt in his mind what she was thinking.She tantilized, tormented , teased.Her body curled itself around his and her lips were quick and urgent.His blood was hammering. He could feel it in his head, in his loins , in his finger tips. Her hands were unmerciful.....wonderful ..... as they roamed over him. No hesitation. She didn't know the meaning of the word. Like the storm that whipped against the windows, she was all flash and fire. A man could get burned by her he thought, and have the scars to prove it.
Holding her close he fought to maintain some control. She was driving him beyond the limits, away from reason, away from the civilized. He was pulling the material from her shoulders with a gnawing demand to feel her flesh againts his. His mouth was against her throat as he tasted and devoured. More....he could only think of having more. He'd have absorbed her into him if he'd known how.
"Baby, give me a minute will you?" But her mouth was just as greedy and she only laughed. He swore to himself and continued to tear at the last shreds of her clothes. She couldn't make her fingers work fast enough. She pulled and yanked stripping the last bariers between them. She wanted to feel him, all of him.
They rolled on the over sized bed , her skin was on fire from the friction of flesh on flesh. She'd thought she would guide him, coerce, cajole, seduce .She was wrong. Like a pebble in a sling shot she was flung high and fast, no longer in control.There were no murmured promises, no whispered endearments. Ony sighs and shudders, Neither were there tender caresses or gentle kisses. Only demands and hunger.He moved above her as the storm continued to rage outside taking her over the edge again and again.
Perfect. Naked, damp, and dazed they lay curled into one another. His heart was stil pounding against hers, his breath still warming her cheek. He didn't know what to say to her, or if he was capable of speech at all. He'd lost all sense of time, of place, even of self, as he'd driven himself into her ......... The way he had never done before............ The way he already understood he would never do again......
