Christmas Bound

Chapter 8: First date jitters/Familiarity

     Rachel: 

We arrive at Kabuki shortly after 5:30 pm. The dinner crowd has not bombarded the restaurant yet, thankfully. And, it is a little quieter since it is a Tuesday, anyway. The hostess takes Aaron's name and points to a waiting area for us to take a seat until our table is ready.

There is a huge fish tank with two extra large fish inside. The aquarium must be at least 100 gallons. At any rate, the fish swim back and forth fruitlessly trying to escape their plight. Interestingly, they swim right past each other several times, never acknowledging each other. It kind of reminds me of dating. Or most of the dating relationships I have had, at least.

Instead of staring at the fish, I decide it would be better to attempt conversation with my dinner date, "So, what do you like to do when you are not working?" It takes me about two seconds to realize that may be a silly question. I already know he likes to tie up girls and take pictures. I tweak my question, "I mean when you are not tying up girls." I turn to him and almost whisper as I say "tying up". 

Aaron laughs at the question. At that time it occurs to me that my question was very surprisingly forward. I hope I recover quickly from my blunder. He confounds me by admitting, "I go to a dungeon over in Vinton and I even build bondage equipment." His chin lowers as he emphasizes the words "dungeon" and "bondage" and a sneaky smile races up his face, radiating brightly at me. 

I am almost embarrassed. I have never had this sort of conversation before. And, especially not in a restaurant, waiting room or otherwise. This seems like very risque parlance for a "first date". But, hey, we've come this far. "What do you like to do at the dungeon?" I ask him curiously.

I rest my chin on my hand and smirk at Aaron as I listen eagerly to his response. "Honestly, I am into spanking and pleasuring girls." He states guilelessly. I am not sure why he emphasizes "spanking", but not "pleasuring". However, I must understand what he means.

"You have sex there?" My voice raises slightly and the hostess shoots me an angry glance. I hope she didn't hear exactly what I said. She might think I am talking about the bathroom in the restaurant. I turn back to Aaron, with a little shock registering on my face.

"No. No. NO." He makes sure I understand clearly that is not what happens. And, then he whispers in my ear,  "I hold a vibrator on them until they cum." 

Aaron's breath tickles my ear and his voice is like honey to my soul. It is so soft, sweet and smooth. His suave personality and pretty boy charm, almost forces the gravity of his words right past me. And, suddenly I am even more intrigued. I have never been to a dungeon before. As a matter of fact, I am pretty sure that I have only ever been engaged in what one would describe as "vanilla sex". 

     Aaron:

Rachel and I are huddled close together on a bench in the waiting room to Kabuki. Right after I whisper in her ear, she peers up at me with wide hazel eyes and an adorable fluster on her cheeks. I would love it if every girl looked at me like this always. She just appears so fresh and innocent. Some of the qualities I like best in a play mate. 

"Jones, party of two" the hostess calls from nearby.

"Ah, that's us." I answer back. I hold out my hand for Rachel as I rise up off the bench and we walk hand in hand as we follow the hostess to the Hibachi grill all the way in the back of the restaurant. I am kind of glad she decides to seat us here. It will be better for conversation without so much noise and other tables close by.

When we reach the table, I pull back the chair for Rachel and wait impassively for her to take her seat. After I have helped Rachel get settled in her seat, I take the chair beside her.  The waitress appears at the table seconds later asking for our drink order and sets down utensils.
