Jackie admires the beautiful view on his lawn while Ben prepares their refreshments. He invited her inside, but she couldn't force herself to walk through his door. He seems like a sweet man, but what if that's just a persona; a way to lure strange women into his home. She recalls a documentary she recently watched on TV. What if he's like Jeffery Dahmer or Ted Bundy who prey on defenseless women? Why else would he pick up someone like me? Feed me all that crap about being beautiful. I might be in serious danger. Frightened, Jackie pulls away.
"I won't make you do anything you don't wanna," Ben reassures.
They talk for hours after. Jackie soon feels at ease.
"I don't know about you, but I'm really hungry, thirsty too."
"I could use a little ..." Her stomach growls before she has time to finish.
Laughing, Ben springs up from his seat. "I'll be right back."
Jackie glances across his yard. I'd never get tired of this gorgeous view. She breathes in the fresh mountain air as she leans back on the couch. A nice cool breeze gently brushes across her face. A sweet smell of spring flowers cascades through the air. I could fall asleep out here. She yawns as she stretches out further. Ben is such a sweetheart and he's a looker too. She pictures how his sandy blond hair and dark complexion brings out his baby blues. His eyes, oh, his eyes are so beautiful, I could get lost in them forever. And that deep voice of his just does something to me. The way he gently touches me makes my heart soar. She remembers how he starts to kiss her but then pulls away. I wonder what that would've felt like, heavenly I'm sure. She imagines his mouth pressed softly against hers; his warm gentle hands touch her naked body. She feels a strong desire between her legs. It's been a very long time since I've been pleasured like that. Bill hasn't touched her since the birth of their son. She feels her body long for his touch as she fantasizes about their encounter.
"I'm sorry it took so long," Ben says. Dishes clank together when he walks through the door.
Jackie springs up in her seat.
"I didn't mean to startle you."
He cleans up nice. "You didn't have to go through all this trouble."
