Her eyes widened, and she could feel her mouth go dry. She was so nervous. He looked perfect. He had on a white dress shirt, colorful tie, and perfect fitting black suit. She was shocked at how different he looked dressed up. His body looked so good, even covered by the suit jacket. She wanted to rub her hands down his strong chest. That was not like her at all.
“You look beautiful,” he said. “The show starts at eight. I made reservations at a steak house in the Paris Hotel, if that's okay.”
“That sounds wonderful,” she said.
He took her hand in his and they started down the hall.
The steak place was very nice. She had never eaten anywhere that nice before. Her ex did not like to go out very often. As she looked at the menu, she noticed the prices were really high. She did not want to take advantage of the situation, and he must have sensed her nervousness.
“It's Vegas. You are here to have fun, right? Order anything you want,” he said.
They talked while they ate their steaks, which were melt in your mouth perfect. Their desserts arrived. They looked so good, and were decorated so nicely. The plates were so perfect. She didn't want to eat it. He laughed at her, took his fork, scooped a bite from her plate, and ate it. That way, she wouldn't feel so bad about eating it herself, she thought. He was so sweet. He took her fork and scooped up a bite of his. Then he put the fork up to her mouth. She put her hand over his and took the fork from him. She shivered at the heat in his touch.
“What do you do for work?” she asked, as she hoped to shake the feeling from his touch.
“I work in corporate law,” he answered.
She looked at him and knew her expression had changed.
“You're a lawyer?” she asked.
“Yes,” he replied. “Don't hold that against me. It seems like you are not a fan.”
“My ex is a lawyer,” she said.
“We don't all sleep with our secretaries,” he said, as he reached over and rubbed her hand. “I'm a good guy. I just happen to like law.”
She laughed.
“I'm sorry about that,” she said. “I know I can't judge everyone by one person's actions.”
He changed the subject onto something else.
They walked over to Caesar’s Palace after dinner. He kept his hand on her lower back the whole time. She loved how attentive he was. He made her feel special. There were beautiful women all around them, and he made her feel as if she were the only one there. It really was turning out to be a nice evening.
They played some slots while they waited for the show. She tried to use her own money, but he wouldn't let her. He stood next to her and watched her while she played. She motioned for him to hit the buttons as well. They laughed and joked while they decided how much to play each time. She stayed at the lower denomination machines. He told her they could play the other ones, but she was more comfortable on the cheaper ones. They were laughing and joking with each other. She was having an amazing time with him. They both reached up to tap the button at the same time, and she felt a surge of electricity run through her arm. He jerked his hand back, and she wondered if he had felt it too.
They made their way into the theater. He bought them each something to drink, and they found their seats. She was so excited to be able to see the whole stage. So much excitement went through her as Elton John took the stage. She was a huge fan. Without even thinking, she leaned over and kissed Cliff on the cheek.
“Thank you so much,” she whispered. “This is amazing.”
He reached over and took her hand in his. She loved the way she felt safe and warm, just from having her hand in his. Her whole body tingled from his touch. It must be all the wine, she thought. They both sang quietly and looked over at each other. It was perfect. She had never had so much fun with a man. He made her feel so good. They looked into each other’s eyes, and he leaned in to kiss her. His lips were warm and moist. He slid his tongue across her bottom lip and she shivered. She parted her lips as he slid his tongue between them to find hers. There was so much heat in that kiss. She pulled back, surprised at the feeling she got just from kissing him. He laughed and squeezed her hand. She put her head on his shoulder. They turned back to watch Elton John. More than once she felt tears run from her eyes. The concert was amazing. She could not have imagined a more perfect time in Vegas.
“Thank you,” she whispered into his ear. “I don't know if I will ever have another night this perfect when I come back to Vegas.”
When the concert was over, they played some more slots together. Rachel was surprised by how sweet Cliff seemed. He was concerned with her feelings, and made sure that she had fun. On the way back to their hotel, they stopped and got dessert, and talked at the Paris Hotel. She learned that he did not have any children and had been married when he was younger, but only for a short time. He told her that he had a younger sister, who worked as a secretary where he was a lawyer. His family was very close. They also learned that they only lived an hour apart. He seemed genuinely happy about it. She was excited. He asked her if they could switch phone numbers, so that he could call her when they got back home. They programmed each other’s numbers into their phones. She found out that Cliff was only five years older than her. He seemed so wonderful.
When they got back to their hotel, he asked her if she wanted to come up to his room for wine and to watch a movie. Rachel did not want the evening to end, and agreed. When she walked into his room, she was surprised. It was larger than hers, and much nicer. She walked to the window and looked out. The fountains across the street were dancing, and she could hear the music.
“This is an awesome view,” she said.
“The fountains are pretty cool. The songs change each time it plays,” he replied.
“I like your room,” she said. “You must be at a good company. Anytime my ex went out of town on business, he had to go alone. This is pretty nice.”
She sat down on his king sized bed. It was so comfortable.
“You might have to kick me out of here tonight,” she joked. “I like this bed.”
“You can stay as long as you like,” he joked back, as he winked at her.
They both laughed. He took his suit jacket off, and they both took their shoes off. He turned on the television, and sat up against the headboard next to her. There was not much on television. They found a sitcom comedy to watch. He put his arm around her and she leaned into his chest. He smelled so good. His manly smell was mixed with his cologne, and she felt so comfortable. It had been the best date she had ever been on.
She looked up at Cliff and could not help but be mesmerized by his beautiful, blue eyes. He leaned down and kissed her softly. She put her hand behind his head to pull him closer to her. His kiss deepened as he slid his tongue between her lips. Their tongues tangled together in a heated, passionate dance. He put his arms around her and pulled her against him. She could feel his heat run through her body, and could feel a tingling sensation between her legs.
Her breasts rubbed through her shirt, against his chest. She could feel her nipples harden against him. She reached up and unbuttoned his dress shirt, starting at the top button and working her way down. Then she slid it from his arms and put it on the side of the bed. She pulled back for a moment to appreciate how sexy his chest, shoulders, arms, and abs were. Rachel let out a soft moan as she rubbed her hands down his chest. He pulled her to him, took her mouth with his, and sucked her bottom lip, as he reached around and unzipped her dress. He slid the dress off one arm, and went to slide it off the other arm, when she pulled back.
“I'm not sure this is a good idea,” she said. “I have only been with one man. I don't want to disappoint you.”
He kissed her mouth and then trailed tiny kisses down her neck to where his hand was on her dress.
“There is no way you could disappoint me,” Cliff said. “You are absolutely perfect.”
Slowly he slid her dress off her other arm, and continued to kiss her across her shoulder and d
own to her bra. He undid her bra and slid it from her arms as he took one nipple into his mouth and pulled slightly with his teeth, before sucking and licking her pink peak. He kissed her breast slowly, and then repeated the same actions on the other side. She leaned her head back and moaned as he showed her how amazing it could be.
She leaned over and kissed him on his chest and down to his amazing abs.
“How do you stay looking this sexy?” she asked.
“I'm glad you like what you see,” he said, as he smiled and pulled her back up on the bed.
He moved down to the bottom of the bed and pulled her dress off. She had on a cute pair of lace panties. He put his mouth over her panties and she could feel his breath through them. A moan escaped her lips before she could stop it. He ran his fingers just under her panties while he kissed her mound threw them. She could feel herself getting wet from the pleasure. He pulled her panties down and tossed them off the bed with the rest of her clothes, as he looked at her.
“You are so beautiful,” he said.
He slid his soft, wet tongue across her folds and licked tiny circles over her. His fingers rubbed her as he licked. He slid one finger and then another into her, and she gasped as she arched her back. He licked and sucked her clit as he moved his fingers in and out of her. She moved her hips in rhythm with him as she moaned. Her hand was on the back of his head, pushing him against her.
“You are so wet,” he said. “You feel so good inside.”
She pushed herself into his hand harder as he fucked her with his fingers. He looked up at her.
“Open your eyes,” he said. “I want to see your eyes as you come around my fingers.”
He thrust deep into her as he watched her unravel, and she called out his name. She tightened around his fingers over and over. He pushed deep into her until she relaxed on the bed.
“Come here,” she motioned for him.
He stood up, took his pants and boxers off, and crawled up over her. She giggled as she watched the silly grin on his face as he moved up the bed. She grabbed the back of his head and pulled his mouth to hers as she grabbed his hard cock in her other hand. She stroked him and moaned as she felt how big he was. Rachel wanted him. She had never been so aroused. He used his knee to slide her legs apart as he stopped at her entrance. She looked up at his eyes.
“I want you inside of me, Cliff,” she said. “All of you.”
He thrust into her wet pussy as he let out a groan of pleasure. She had her hands around his back, and pulled him against her. He pushed into her over and over. She put her legs around him and grabbed his ass, pulling him harder against her as she moaned his name. He grabbed her arms and held them above her head, and he thrust into her hard and deep while he kissed her. He let out a moan against her lips as he took her breath into his lungs.
“You feel so fucking good inside,” he whispered, as he kissed her.
With her legs around him, he plowed into her, hard and deep, over and over, until she cried out his name.
“Fuck, Cliff,” she moaned. “Harder, please.”
He drove into her as she came and tightened around his rock hard cock. She called out his name again as he thrust into her hard, and then released into her over and over, until he had nothing left. Cliff fell onto the bed next to Rachel, his eyes closed. She rolled onto her side and slid her fingers down his sweaty chest as she kissed it.
“I can't believe I just did that,” she said. “Thank you, it was amazing.”
“Thank you for an amazing night,” Cliff said. “I really want to get to know you better, and see you when we go home.”
They stayed in each other’s arms as they fell asleep.
Rachel woke up and looked at the clock. It was six o'clock in the morning. She was still against his chest, with their arms around each other. There was something so amazing and different being with him. She slid out of his arms and went to get a drink of water. When she came back to the bed, she saw him look up at her.
“This room is really nice. What company do you work for?” she asked, as she laughed.
“C. Martin Law Firm,” he answered, as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
She pulled away from him and felt her body tense.
“What's wrong?” he asked.
“Did you say C. Martin Law Firm?” she asked. “You said corporate law.”
“Yes, why?” Cliff asked, as he sat up to look at her with concern.
“That's the firm my ex-husband is a lawyer for,” she answered.
“Wait, you said your last name is Reynolds,” he said. “Jake Reynolds is your ex-husband?”
Rachel could tell Cliff was upset. He stood up and walked to the window. She could see his fists clench at his sides. After a moment he walked back over to her. His body was stiff. She could not tell if he was hurt or mad. Why is he reacting this way? she thought. Did he know something about Jake?
“Yes,” she answered. “Have you had to work on any cases with him? Do you know him well?”
Cliff reached over and rubbed her arm.
“There is something I need to tell you,” he said.
“What? Did he say something bad about me?” she asked.
Cliff reached up, put his hand on her chin, and turned her face to look directly into her eyes.
“No, he has never said anything bad about you,” he said. “My name is Cliff Martin.”
“Cliff Martin,” she said. “As in C. Martin?”
Rachel went to pull back from him, but he wrapped his arms around her so she couldn't move.
“Yes,” he answered. “I own the firm. Last night was one of the best nights of my life. I had such a good time, being with you. Dinner, the show, playing slots, and everything. I really like you, and I think there is something between us. I want to get to know you.”
“I can't see you,” she said, as she looked down at the ground. “I had a great time. I really like you. I have never felt as good as I did last night. I can't believe this. He works for you. I can't do it. It would never work.”
Rachel stepped away from Cliff, with a sad look in her eyes. He had made her feel better and more special than she had ever felt in her life. When would her ex-husband stop affecting her life? Would she ever be rid of him? She reached down to grab her clothes and started to get dressed. Rachel saw Cliff grab his phone off the nightstand. What was he doing, she wondered? She stopped and looked at him, when she heard him speak.
“Jake, this is Cliff,” he said.
Shit, he called Jake, she thought. She could not hear the person on the other end. Silently, she stood still as she watched him.
“I need you to come in and clean out your office tomorrow morning,” Cliff said. “I really don't think you are a good fit for my firm any longer.”
Rachel could not believe he was firing Jake. Cliff was quiet for a moment before he continued.
“Jake, one more thing,” Cliff said, through clenched teeth. “I can't believe you slept with my sister. If you ever go near her or talk to her, I will make sure you never work as a lawyer again.”
Rachel stood in shock as Cliff hung up his phone. He stood up, walked over to her, and pulled her into his arms.
“Problem solved,” he said, as he kissed her forehead. “Have dinner with me Friday night.”

Edward Naughty
Diane relaxed as she thought about how she wanted to meet someone lovely. She always met the wrong type of men, it seemed. Maybe it was because she wasn't assertive, and only met aggressive men. She had frequently observed men that she felt had potential, but they never approached her. Was it because they were not interested in her, or was it that they were too reserved? Diane, herself, was shy until she got to know someone, then lookout!
Diane sunbathed, hoping to get a tan for the upcoming summer parties. Her short dark hair was pinned up in girly clips, accentuating her lovely femininity. She soaked in the sun, and enjoyed the cool wind blowing on her skin. Her perky nipples poked out as if trying to break free from the hold of her bikini top.
The sound of her backyard gate slammed. Who could that be? she wondered.
“I'm so glad you're home,” Tara said. “Please, may I use your bathroom?”
“Sure,” Diane said. “The door is open.”
“Thanks.”
Diane couldn't help but wonder why Tara had stopped by her house. At one time, they were good friends, but hadn't spoken for a while. It seemed strange for her to turn up without an invitation. The back door opened up, and Tara walked out and sat in the lawn chair next to Diane. Tara had long blonde hair. She wore tight shorts and a bikini top. Her breasts were prominent and jiggling.
Here it comes, Diane thought. She was sure that Tara wanted something. Why else would she have stopped by unannounced after not having seen her for such a long time?
“I wanted to know if you would like to go to a beach party?” Tara asked. “We just need one more person to go in on a keg.”
Diane couldn't believe the nerve of her.
“Do you still have that classic Jaguar that your uncle left you?” Tara asked.
