I close my eyes as I feel his warm skin against mine. "Please Vera, let me touch you." My back faces him as I push myself up against the wall. His hands travel up my back slowly and gently. I gulp as his hands find the buttons on the back of my dress. One by one they are let loose. "I can't do this." I whisper. "Shhh." He quiets me. "You don't know how long I wanted you Vera. You tease me every day, just seeing you all dressed up in those pretty outfits of yours makes me go wild." He kisses the side of my neck, his lips lingering, leaving goose bumps on my skin. "I've missed you so much." I turn around and come face to face with him. His gray eyes gaze into mine as his hands slide off my straps to my to my dress. "And I missed you too Vera." Why is this man turning me on so much? I barely know him, I haven't seen him in a couple of weeks. We are just friends, what is going on here? Lust maybe? I can't do this... wait what is he doing? Ugh, he's going to make me go mad if he doesn't stop. He's turning me on so much, I haven't felt this in two years, ever since...my first love. "Stop!" I nearly scream. He moves away from me in a flash. A tear escapes my eye as I look up at him. "Damn it I'm sorry Vera. I didn't mean to hurt you if I did." I move away and fix myself up. How could I have let this go this far? Him touching me and making me wet? "Vera please let me help you." I move a little bit further. "It's okay, I..I just need some space."
