A seductive woman in her sexual prime. (Pink Trigger's Power >129)

I told Natsuhi the most dangerous person to meet here would be a charismatic individual capable of charming Jessica out of her skirt. To that end, Natsuhi needed to play the role of a seductive woman in her sexual prime.

"Mister Player!" Natsuhi cried, looking offended and mortified. "Now I understand! This is a joke to tease me, isn't it? You can't possibly expect me to do that!"

Oh, but I do, Natsuhi, and I know that you can. I tell her it shouldn't take much imagination for a beautiful, mature woman like herself to get there.

Natsuhi seemed genuinely affected now, realizing perhaps that instead of just being teased, she was also being flirted with. She closed her eyes, fidgeting. When she opened them again, she had settled into an awkward, unusual, but, objectively, at least a little sexy come-hither pout. She was trying hard. "Hey... sexy... why don't you buy me a drink? The night... is young, after all..."

I held my tongue. Wow, Natsuhi! So you've been reading this kind of novel, have you? Or maybe it was a program you saw, curled up on the couch with your husband. I kept my surprise to myself, then agreed to buy her a drink because she was so beautiful.

Natsuhi blushed harder, probably biting her tongue to keep from correcting me. I was sure she wanted to stress to Jessica what I'd just done wrong, but was afraid of losing her place in the character.

So, I walk over to the bar. Clomp clomp. A couple of beers are poured. Swoosh, pop.

"That's a weird noise for beer," Jessica laughed, still seeming entertained.

Nonsense, that's what beer sounds like in Germany, I tell her. Now, clomp clomp. I'm back with my mysterious stranger.

"Thank you, sir... You're such a gentleman," Natsuhi said, tossing her hair and giving a man-melting smile. You're getting into it, Natsuhi...! "I'll pay you back the favor, before the night is over." That older woman winked at me, then pantomimed drinking her beer. She let out a satisfied gasp, then licked her lips, watching me to see if I was watching her.

Jessica and I were watching her with eyes like dinner plates. The difference being, of course, something of mine other than just my eyes was growing.

"Hey, young man," Natsuhi addressed me, making me jump in my skin. "You like what you see? I can tell what you're thinking about spending a night with an experienced woman, hmm? There are many things I can show you... that a younger woman can't."

Show me Natsuhi, show me!! Ah, I want to say this part out loud, but I dare not! This is like a fragile illusion that could break at any second!!

That same prudish Natsuhi, who I'd hardly even read of spending a tender moment with her husband, was now placing her hands over mine and leaning in towards me, showing a smile that made her look Jessica's age and pressing the swell of her breasts against my arm. "I think the **** is going to my head, sir. The music in this place is giving me a headache... Maybe you wouldn't mind giving me a ride back to my apartment? I'm sure you're able to pay."

I reached for my wallet by impulse.

Natsuhi giggled. Hey, that's her laughing at me, right? At Mr. Player, not the character Mr. Player is playing! Is she drunk off the atmosphere right now? Is she actually turned on?!

**** to continue, I tell Natsuhi to join me in the taxi. Ah, now she's sidling up next to me, wrapping her arm in mine...! Once again, I feel her ponytail wrapping around me, her soft body leaning on me...

"Hey, cutie," Mrs. Ushiromiya, Krauss's husband, Jessica's mother, whispers to me. "How would you like to come up and see the apartment?"

Yes ma'am thank you kindly.

"Do you mind spotting me a big tip for the doorman? Otherwise, he might not let you up..."

Certainly ma'am. I take out my actual wallet and hand Natsuhi an actual large bill.

Playfully, she slides it into the neck of her dress. "Keep the taxi running while I take care of this, okay? I'll be right back..." Natsuhi gave me another wink as she rose from the bed and did her best hot strut over to the door.

Ah, hurry back, Natsuhi! Invite me over for our night together!

"Ahem!" Natsuhi coughed, immediately straightening back up. "So, you see, Jessica? That is how a charming man is going to walk off with both your dignity and your finances, playing you for a fool. You're lucky he only escaped with your money."

Both Jessica and I applauded.

"Woohoo! Way to go, Mom!" Jessica hollered, rising to join her mother at the door.

"Mm. I hope you learned something, Jessica," Natsuhi said, having now succeeded in bringing her energy way back down. "And Mr. Player... Thank you for the bit of fun on a day I'm sure will turn out to be a huge headache for my family. Oh... I'm keeping the money, all right? I'm the one who gave the lesson, after all."

Natsuhi summoned that wink again before turning and walking out the door with her daughter in tow.

Ah... Ah!

Natsuhi, you got so carried away you left me alone in your daughter's room! But, who cares! Who needs an inexperienced little girl like that when there's a hot fox like you on the prowl?!

I left to Jessica's bathroom, summoned the magical image of a dangerous stranger again, and masturbated furiously until I released. I thought it would be entertaining to go take a look at the family conference and see if Natsuhi had managed to wind herself all the way down, but...

As soon as I opened the door, someone was waiting there for me. How considerate. Is this a hot towel service?

In that mansion, I cooled my head on the cold tile of the bathroom floor, an open blade wound in my neck. Someone far more dangerous than any loose woman had been waiting for me.
