Chapter 6

They danced for several songs and it seemed to AJ that Vicky tried to get closer to him with each one. However since they were already plastered together, he didn't see how that was possible unless she intended to climb inside of him. Her closeness was leading to thoughts of being inside her though. He was a healthy red-blooded male and it had been quite some time since he'd been intimate with a woman. There hadn't been anyone since Meredith.

'Down Chegwidden! You've just met this woman and even if she seems to be coming on to you, you have no reason to believe you will be invited 'in' any time soon!' he told himself as he tried to create a little space between them so she wouldn't feel his arousal. But Vicky, it seemed, had other ideas, not only wouldn't she let him pull away, but she ground her hips into his erection and gave a sigh of pleasure when she felt him get harder.

"Why don't we have desert?" he suggested, turning towards the table, eager to hide his reaction under the tablecloth.

As he held out her chair for her, Vicky looked up at him and said seductively, "Why don't you pay the bill and we can have desert at my place?"

His cock twitched at the look in her eyes and he silently nodded as he motioned their waiter over and asked for the check. Being a cautious man, but a recently inactive one, AJ made a stop at a quick shop on the way back to her apartment. He claimed he needed to get gas, which wasn't true since he'd filled both the Escalade's tanks the day before. Going inside to pay, he faced the smirk of the cashier when he added three foil packets to his purchase. Returning to the Escalade with the condoms tucked in his pocket, he didn't want to presume, but he also wanted to be prepared if the promise in her eyes at the restaurant was fulfilled.

At her apartment door Vicky stopped, turned, and placed a caressing hand on his chest. AJ guessed that she had changed her mind until she spoke, "I just want something to be clear between us AJ. While someday I'd like a husband and children, I don't see any reason to deny myself physical pleasures along the way. I won't close my mind to the possibility that this could someday be more than that, until you tell me otherwise. Until then, we're both mature consenting adults, and as such, I'd be open to a no-strings relationship if you feel the same way."

Taking a moment to carefully consider her words, AJ replied, "I'm not sure that I'll ever even think about getting married again, but I will also keep an open mind that this could become a long-term exclusive relationship, but until that point, I'd be willing to see where this could go."

"Good, won't you come in then?" she offered, unlocking the door and entering the apartment.

"I'd be glad to," he answered, following her in.

Once the door was closed, Vicky gave him a heated glance and asked, "Should I make coffee and get out desert, or are you as eager to get me out of my clothes as I am to get you out of yours?"

Seeing her gaze on his crotch where his jeans strained over his growing erection, AJ gave her a lecherous grin and said, "Oh, I think eager is putting it mildly."

She reached out, took his hand, and pulled him down the hall to her bedroom. Crossing the dark room she turned on the small bedside lamp rather than the bright overhead light. "Do you want to do the honors, or would it be faster if we undressed ourselves?"

"Faster isn't always better," he told her as his hands moved to begin undressing her. "Some things are meant to be savored, and I intend to savor you tonight Vicky, unless you intend to stop me?"

"Oh, I have no intention of stopping you, AJ. We have all the time you'd like to savor each other!"
