"Please turn around and face away from me."
She stared at him for a few moments, then turned, watching him over her shoulder. She got the same fuzzy feeling she'd experienced at the drugstore as she saw his eyes explore her form. An almost animalistic instinct compelled her to act without thinking. She very subtly bent at her hips. She got goosebumps when she saw his eyes widen, his brows rise, and the corners of his lips curl up in the slightest of smiles.
"You should stop putting yourself down. You're perfect. Just... perfect. I'm sorry if that's too forward, but I want you to know that. Now, come here for a second."
She closed the distance with a few steps and stood in front of him where he sat on the sofa.
He reached his hands out toward her, moving very slowly to give her time to anticipate his contact without startling her. He gently took the sides of her shirt in his grasp and pulled the slack toward her back, tightening the fabric across the front of her torso.
His breath staggered. "You most certainly are not a butter ," he murmured, relaxing his neck, placing his forehead on her breastbone.
She heard him inhale and release a deep sigh when she softly played with his hair. She could feel the heat of his breath through the cotton of her tee. It warmed her all the way to her center.
"I can feel your pulse," he whispered. "Are you okay? Am I making you uncomfortable?"
"No. Quite the opposite. I'm not uncomfortable," she answered, running her fingertips through his mist-dampened hair and scalp. She could smell his scent. "Hold me closer."
She felt him wrap his arms around her waist. He drew her between his opened knees and held her firm tummy to his chest. She cuddled his head between her breasts and didn't mind at all when he softly stroked the seat of the jeans he'd bought her.
He felt the small swells of her breasts against him.
"Wow, Peggy. You are so incredibly gorgeous." He sighed and looked up to her eyes. "Your bottom is very... nice."
His words, and the sensation of having his hands there made her heart flutter, which made his next words so unexpected.
"Thank you so much for being in my company tonight, but I think it'd be best if you were to leave."
"We just got here, and I thought--"
"Yeah, me, too. And I don't want that. I mean... I do, but... I don't want to be that kind of guy. I just don't."
She would have felt dejected if his eyes hadn't conveyed sincere honesty.
"Um, okay. Yeah. Um..." she hesitated for five or six seconds. "Do you think you and I could maybe meet for breakfast?"
"I was about to ask the same thing. I'd really like that," he answered with a smile. "Where?"
"This is going to sound weird. Let's meet at... um... Mackie Dee's."
"McDonald's? That's just too perfect! Seriously, I'm all in. How about the one off of International near Destination Parkway?"
"Sure."
"Come here for a second," he said.
She approached him and he drew her into his arms. He kissed her slowly.
"See you tomorrow?" she said.
"Yes, please. I'll walk you to your car."
She took his hand in hers and held it tightly. Slow, tender kisses and fleeting strokes of arms, necks, and bottoms occupied their time as they descended in the elevator.

Purplefizz6 months agoI’ve read this previously, so for anyone wavering between carrying on with the story or ditching it as it’s fairly slow moving, I’d absolutely say carry on, it opens up into a great story that I really enjoyed when I read it originally, all I’ll say that all becomes clear further into the story.
Many thanks for writing and posting, cheers, Ppfzz.
oldpantythief8 months agoI know what his last name is because I've read 'THE FUTURE IS IN THE AIR'. It all comes together now and I love it.
WillDevoalmost 3 years agoAuthorGrillsit: Yep, you're right. For a couple of weeks, an update to different story was misplaced here in Chapter one. It's been corrected, thanks to the swift action of the site admins once I'd brought it to their attention.
grillsitalmost 3 years agoIt appears that the update of this story got mixed up with another. This chapter (Ch. 01) is for a different story than chapters 2-7. Generally: I have read multiple of your stories and keep coming back. Keep it up.
Anonymousabout 3 years agoGood start and not your usual romance beginning. I very much like your style of letting the dialog carry the story. Two comments to hopefully be if help. First, I am not a big fan of freezing the story to catalog people’s physical descriptions. I think it takes the reader out of the story. I much more appreciate when authors work those details in as they tell the story so that a picture forms in my mind without having to have a “narration break”. Peggy’s looks and proportions, for example, became clear in my mind as the dialog with Eric progressed.
Second, I think it distracts from the story to detail things that don’t really matter to the story, like what everyone ordered for lunch. I find, paradoxically, that the less detail an author gives, the more complete and real-seeming the picture my mind fills in.
I hope this is at all helpful. Now I’m off to read chapter 2.
dgfergieover 3 years agoInteresting, mutual attraction. I keep reading reviews of what guys think is attractive about women and I'm sorry to say most talk about body parts and shapes of this or that.
Am I weird? The first thing I always notice is there face, not boobs not buts not legs but the face. Then comes the conversation and learning about each other. Sex? Everything else about a woman is more important than sex. Any good story they are both quite strongly attracted to each other and he is a gentleman. good story
Overcriticalabout 4 years agoYour description of Peggy sounds very unattractive to me. Six feet tall (I love it) and 120 lb (emaciated) makes for a shape that only a narrow cut of the male population would find at all attractive. I find flat, skinny butts to be a real turn-off and a little chest is always appreciated. But there's someone for everyone. I have to admit I'm with Nina and getting bored with the narrative, but I'll soldier on to the next chapter. The ratings for this story are too high for it be a complete bust (lol). You've just submitted what you calling the conclusion so I won't have to check back to see it through (if I get that far). So far I rated it a 3* as it's vaguely promising, but I wonder about people who could rate this a 5* at this stage.
cybojiabout 4 years agoThe eye of the beholder. Ive seen many of ducks turn into swans. This is good stuff. 5
Anonymousabout 4 years agoA good start to a romance story. I will continue to read and thanks for your time and imagination.
