2. The Shy Shopkeeper

Transcript

I took a deep breath as I looked in the mirror. It's been a long time since I've been on a date, so I hoped this was okay. Secretly, I wished this outfit would excite him.

My thumb caressed the place where he had kissed me on the wrist earlier, and I shivered. I wondered what it would be like to have those lips on my neck and his arms around me. I could feel his strong and warm touch already, wandering over my body, my arms, my back, my thighs.

I shivered again, and this time, I noticed the wetness between my legs. I wondered how his big hands would feel between my legs. My hands started reaching down, lifting my skirt and slipping under my panties.

I let my panties fall to my feet and was slightly pressing down on my clit when there was a knock on the door. Anna? Are you there? I tried calling your phone, but you didn't answer.

Came David's voice from the other side of the door. Shit. I whispered under my breath and called out, Coming! I quickly pulled my panties back up and adjusted my dress.

I grabbed my purse, checking to see if everything I needed was inside. I checked my phone as well, and sure enough, I had three missed calls from David. As I hurried out, I wasn't paying attention, and I bumped into David once I opened the door.

Oof! I looked up at him apologetically. I'm so sorry! Instead of getting angry, he laughed.

Whoa there, he said, reaching over and grabbing me by my waist. No need to rush. We'll get there on time.

Don't worry. Traffic is not as bad as I thought tonight. I was suddenly pressed against him.

I could feel every inch of him, even the parts pressing against my already wet mound. I pressed my legs tightly together. He felt so strong and comforting.

I laughed nervously. Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself? He asked with concern written on his face.

His worry made me smile despite myself. I'm alright. I wasn't expecting to make a fool of myself so early on, I said.

He looked into my eyes then, and I felt my knees begin to shake. You are not, he said. In fact, this is perfect.

I like having you close to me. He whispered the last part, making me shiver for the third time this evening. I smiled shyly up at him, and he did the same.

Shall we go then? He asked after a few minutes. I nodded, and we headed to the car.

It was a quiet ride to the restaurant. I'm not much for small talk. I enjoy real conversation, but talking about unimportant things just doesn't interest me.

But fortunately, it was a pleasant silence. I was thankful for the quiet as it gave me the opportunity to breathe in his wonderful perfume. I smelled a whiff of it when I bumped into him earlier, and it made me salivate.

I had almost leaned over to taste his skin when he was holding me. Thankfully, I restrained myself. I continued breathing in his perfume until we got to the restaurant.

We were almost to the door when he pulled me aside. Wait, I forgot something, he said. David made his way back to the car while I waited.

I watched people as they went in and came out. They were dressed so beautifully. Suddenly, I didn't feel so confident in my dress.

David came back holding a bouquet. And the simple bouquet were large, soft, pale pink peonies. They were perfect.

For you, he said, offering me the bouquet. The peonies remind me of you. My heart warmed.

No one had given me flowers before. They were lovely. Thank you, I whispered.

With a brilliant smile, he led us inside into our seats. I don't remember ever laughing so much, and I gradually relaxed. And as the evening progressed, more aroused.

As he was getting up to go to the bathroom, David accidentally bumped into my leg. He quickly knelt and started rubbing the affected area. I'm sorry, he said.

That's twice now I've bumped into you. He looked up surprised when I started laughing. I was the one who crashed into you earlier.

I said, wiping the tears from my eyes. But thank you for taking the fall for it. You're very sweet, you know that? I looked down to find David blushing and biting his lower lip.

I realized that his hand was still on my knee. And you're very beautiful, David said after a few moments. His thumb began caressing me as he said that.

My legs responded by unconsciously opening slightly. I could feel myself getting wet again as his eyes held mine and then traveled down my body. He stopped at my legs.

I suddenly realized he might be able to see my wet panties. Indeed, I saw him lick his lips as he gazed at my legs, which made me even more excited. Sir, are you all right? The waiter's voice brought us both back to the present.

Yes, David said getting up. I'm all right, thank you. We locked eyes again briefly before he turned and headed to the bathroom.

I took a deep breath as he left. My heart was beating wildly. Thankfully, we had both calmed down upon his return.

We gathered our things and headed to the front to pay. I stayed close to David, mainly to get a whiff of his cologne, but also to not bump into anyone walking in or out. He finished paying and we headed to the car.

I honestly didn't know what to say after earlier. It seemed he didn't either because he wasn't saying anything. It was a stark contrast to how chatty he was at dinner.

Or was it because he decided he didn't like me anymore? We got to the car, but before he could open the car door for me, two kids on bicycles came rushing towards us. David quickly grabbed me by my waist and pulled me against him.

Oh, I said, that had been completely unexpected and I hadn't been ready for it. You all right? David whispered, and I realized how close our faces were.

Our bodies were pressed against each other tightly. He had me wrapped up in his arms, and I could feel the warmth radiating from him. I couldn't speak at first, but I managed a small, yes, I guess things really do come full circle, he said with a small laugh.

He was still holding me tightly, and it seemed he had no intention of letting go. I didn't mind one bit though. I responded with a smile, but didn't trust myself to talk.

David slowly lifted a hand and moved a strand of hair from my face caressing my cheek at the same time. I can't explain it, but he hesitated. I feel drawn to you.

Your kindness, your gentleness, your wit, your lips. He gently caressed my lower lip with his thumb as he said this. I was stunned.

I didn't know what to do. His touch felt so good, and his words gave me butterflies, but I couldn't help thinking if this was going too fast. I had only talked to him for an hour tonight.

I barely knew anything about him. I'm not that special, I said and tried to disentangle myself from his arms. I loved his warmth, but I suddenly wanted to go.

He wasn't having it though, and tightened the arm on my waist. Hey, look at me, he said seriously, gently moving my face to look at him. You are perfect to me.

I wanted to rebuff, but I was entranced by his eyes, and before I knew it our lips met in a kiss. I knew that usually the first kisses were soft and slow, but I couldn't help myself. My arms wrapped around his neck and pressed his lips tightly against mine.

David responded accordingly, and he wrapped both his arms around me once again. The kiss was hot and full of need. It wasn't enough, so I moved one of his hands over my ass and softly moaned when he squeezed it.

He growled in return and deepened the kiss. I couldn't get enough of him or the kiss. We took turns sucking and playing with each other's lower lips, but rarely did we separate.

I could feel his hardness against his pants. I rubbed against it, earning another growl from him. I didn't want it to end, but we both needed air.

We took deep breaths, still giving each other small kisses. You have no idea how intoxicating you are to me. He whispered against my neck as he planted kisses on my skin.

Would you come back to my apartment with me? He suddenly said. I leaned back and stared at him.

My mouth was agape at the prospect. I had not imagined we would get to this point. After a few seconds of not responding, he tried again.

Please, he pleaded. You won't have to do anything you don't want to. Just say the word and I'll take you back to your house, I promise.

I thought about it for a moment. Alright, I said finally. A huge smile of both relief and happiness spread across his face.

We headed to his apartment. I wasn't sure what would happen, or even what I wanted to happen, but I did want to kiss him again.
