Talk to Jerome

"Hey $name. Enjoying yourself?"

Jasmin's statement was still in my mind, as I thought of what it entailed and what might come out of it.

I looked at the hunk in front of me, standing confidently in his shirt and pants, eating me up with his stares. He noticed the way I was looking at him, and was quick to comment:

"I figure Jasmin already talked to you about this?" He asked, curious.

"She mentioned something..."

"She did... Well come here, I have a small experiment for you to make up your mind. Don't worry, I won't bite."

I saw no harm in approaching him, we were in a public place after all.

In a swift commanding motion, Jerome turned me around to face away from him, placing his hand on my belly and his lips near my ear. His controlling presence was a heat behind me, holding me in place and smartly whispering his rhetoric in my ear.

"I want you to let go for a bit, embrace the moment and allow your mind to drift across the sensations and thoughts that it wants to follow." His husky voice overwhelmed my senses, his perfume filling my nostrils as the closeness between our bodies had its effect on me. His hand on my midriff was large, it took its space and knew how to control me.

"That stupid Jasmin was so excited about the prospect of you joining us that she didn't understand that you needed to be convinced, seduced. Consider her the hammer, and me the soft pliers."

What a weird metaphor... ''What was I in that situation?''

"And you, the nail. And you know why that is." His whispers came as an answer, promising a place for my weakening body.

I wanted to drift away in his words. I wanted to follow his voice to where it promised to take me. My eyes focused as I saw Eric standing across the gymnasium, talking to his friends, moving to the music with them.

If he saw me he'd feel completely embarrassed, inadequate... He might've asked me as a date earlier, yet here I was in another man's arms. Someone more masculine, more dominant.

Jerome continued his whispering, now an order that demanded my compliance: "Let go nail, follow my lead."
