Autumn Clematis Ch. 01

Introduction

This story came about through email exchanges between me and a woman I met through Literotica. We live about 1100 miles apart, have never physically met, and probably never will. We decided to write a fantasy together by exchanging emails. I wrote a section, then she responded, and this back-and-forth continued.

Please excuse the frequent lack of explicit cues as to who is saying what. It was always clear to us, but you'll have to figure it out for yourself.

This entire story is presented as 4 posts containing 17 parts.

---------------------------------


Part 1

I really hope that today won't finish the way that it's started.

First, traffic was stalled for half an hour on 119 into town. I just barely managed to get to my massage studio in time for my first client, who I'd never seen before.

And I wished that he'd never shown up. He was obviously gay, which is fine with me, but he tried to hit on me during the massage. I threw him out.

And as if that wasn't enough, today the temperature is a hot and humid 100 degrees. And the air conditioning isn't quite up to the load, so the studio is a bit warmer than desirable for massage.

What else could possibly happen? But then I look at my appointment book and smile. Things are probably going to take a turn for the better. One of my favorite clients, Nina, will be in soon for her every-other-week massage. She's been coming to my studio for a few months, after the LMT who she used to see moved away.

Nina and I get along fabulously, chatting about almost everything, sometimes even while I'm massaging her. She always has a smile on her face and a twinkle in her lovely blue eyes that make my juices start running. In any case, after massaging Nina the rest of the day always seems to go right, and I expect today will be no exception.

Part 2

I've been looking forward to seeing him all day.

As I showered this morning, I took special care with shaving my legs, wanting my body to be extra smooth. I used a silky body lotion in a scent I know he likes. I chose my outfit carefully, something a little more revealing than my typical professional looking business suit. I don't know why I worried about that so much since he always has me out of my clothes in a matter of minutes.

Victor is my masseur. I've been seeing him for months. We've become good friends during this time and we always find something to chat about before or after the massage, sometimes during as well.

A visit to Victor is always the perfect way to end a stress filled day. I can feel all the cares of the world flow out of my body as I'm lying on the table, naked beneath the thin, soft drape. The subdued lighting, the relaxing music turned up just loud enough to block out all outside noises, the scented candle filling the air with a combination of vanilla and lavender all set the stage for me to transport my thoughts elsewhere.

Victor's wonderful hands, so soft yet firm upon my skin, coax my knotted muscles into submission. His soothing voice so calming and reassuring. Often I find myself asleep at some point during the hour, but lately, my thoughts have turned elsewhere.

During a massage, and even at other times, I've found myself wondering what it would feel like to have the drape removed, and be totally exposed and open to Victor. To feel his hands on my breasts, my stomach, my behind. To have those skilled fingers find their way to other more private, sensitive places.

During my drive to his office, I can think of nothing else. The thought arouses me and I know that it won't be hard for him to tell, even beneath the drape. My wetness and the scent of my arousal will be impossible for me to hide. I've thought about asking him not to use the drape but I'm not sure how he'd react. Perhaps I will work up the nerve to do so today.

Part 3

The buzzer to my studio sounds and I let Nina in.

She smiles, and we enjoy a nice long firm hug. But as we separate I notice that there's something different about her today.

She's not wearing her business suit, but something more sensual, somewhat more revealing. Her outfit now sports a bit of décolletage. I find it difficult to avoid staring at her cleavage, not wanting to be too obvious of my interest. And she's wearing the scent that I find most enjoyable. There's something else too, something in her eyes that I've not seen before. It's some kind of uneasiness or uncertainty, as if she's not exactly sure about something. And, just below the surface of the scent she's wearing I detect what might be the additional smell of arousal.

I think that today she might be considering what I've been hoping for. But I think she's still not made up her mind. And now I'm certain that that's the reason for her scent, her appearance, and for what I see in her eyes. It all fits. I'll have to help her along a bit, make it easier for her to make her decision. I just hope that my growing feelings for her are not causing me to imagine things.

I hold her at arms length, spin her around and tell her that she looks absolutely fabulous, and that she smells especially wonderful today. I decide to tease her a bit and tell her that my favorite scent seems to have perked up a bit on her, and that I wonder what it is. A quick blush passes over her face, but she keeps her cool and says she doesn't know what it could possibly be. I'm now more certain.

I apologize for the poor air conditioning and point out that the massage room might be a bit warmer than comfortable for a massage. Her eyes show a sudden surprise at this comment and a very brief smile comes and goes almost instantly. Maybe she thinks she knows where this might be going.

I point out to her that there are some solutions to the problem. One is that we postpone the massage until the air-conditioning is repaired. I'm almost certain she won't go for that. The next possibility has to do with draping options. She could decide to have the massage as usual and live with the heat. Or we could try less draping to alleviate the heat. She asks about this, as I hoped she would. Possibilities include using small towels to respect her modesty. Or she could choose to retain her bra and panties but be undraped otherwise.

The other possibility is that she try European style, completely undraped, as a few of my other clients do. I point out that it's her decision to make, and I won't try to convince her to do anything she doesn't feel comfortable with.

I tell her to think about it while I show her to the massage room, which is all set up for her. She immediately notices that the room has a new scent, and I show her the new picture on the wall. I explain that the vine in the massage picture, although not in bloom, is autumn clematis, responsible for the scent that's in the room, and the scent that will be in the massage oil. I don't explain the setting of the massage picture at all, but she obviously notices how romantic and idyllic it is and comments on how romantic the bed and setting are.

After telling her to make herself comfortable I leave the room and close the door. I wonder what I will find when I come back.

Part 4

While Victor leaves me in the room to undress I ponder some of the things that transpired while he greeted me. Perhaps it is just my imagination running away with me in light of some of my own thoughts lately, but it did seem to me that our usual hello hug was just a little longer, a little closer than usual. He compliments my clothing, my choice of scent. He seems even more attentive than usual.

And the lack of air conditioning, is this really the case? Could he have read my mind during my last few massages and purposefully set the temperature a little warmer? He brought up the option of an undraped massage. I've thought about this possibility for weeks and now he's made it easy for me. I don't even have to ask about it. Could this possibly be a coincidence??

Looking around the room, it could not be more sensual or seductive in its new design. I know he changes it with the season, and of course he has other clients but he seemed especially intent on pointing out the changes to me. Did he do this just for me? Although today is an unseasonably warm Indian Summer kind of day, the warmth of Victor's room design is quite inviting. The new colors and scents are enveloping, warm, sensual.

I have finished undressing now. My hand wanders to my breasts, my nipples, even in this warm room, hard and rigid. Trailing my fingers down my stomach I discover the moist hotness between my legs, a small moan of pleasure escapes my lips as I touch myself. My arousal will be unmistakable to Victor. I wonder what he will think, I wonder if I should really do this.

I look at the table with the now optional drape lying on it. I pick the drape up and sit it on the chair with my clothes. Trembling, I lay down on the table, adjust my face in the cradle and ring the bell to signal to Victor that I am ready for him. Ready, in so many ways.

Part 5

I hear the bell signalling that Nina is ready. But as usual I allow a few minutes for her to relax on the table. Then I gently knock on the door and enter.

Upon entering I'm delighted to find she has chosen the undraped option, at least while lying on her front. I hope she'll continue that way when it's time to turn over.

Since the human body is not built to lie face down on a flat surface, I lift her feet and place a bolster under her ankles.

Then I stand at the the head of the table, gently rub her shoulders and neck a bit and talk to her before continuing. "I think you've made the right choice, and that you'll not want to go back to a draped massage. However, if you change your mind and reconsider just let me know and I'll respect your wishes.

"This massage will be very much like the draped massages you've been receiving. But now there are a few things I can massage that I couldn't really do before, and things I can do better. I think you'll enjoy it and that you'll find it more sensual.

"During the massage if there's anything at all you want, or don't want, just let me know."

I begin the massage by placing one hand between her shoulders and the other just at the top of her buttocks, rest them there, and slowly slide them together and then apart a few times. I detect some real nervousness. She's probably not absolutely sure that she's ready for this. I need to be very tender and respectful.

But after just a few strokes the nervousness and apprehension that I had detected in Nina's body seem to disappear. She now seems more relaxed, ready for the massage, and has gotten over the initial apprehension of being nude.

The massage proceeds much like a draped massage but with some modifications and additions.

I truly enjoy feeling her smooth skin beneath my hands. Her legs and thighs seem especially smooth and silky today. She must have prepared especially for this session. I'm now convinced she had this kind of session in mind but wasn't sure either how to request it or how I'd react. I wonder how far she's willing to go, not now, but in later sessions. I intend to push the limits just a little bit, to get some idea of whether or not she might be open to more intense sensual and erotic experiences later.

I begin massaging Nina's buttocks just as in a regular therapeutic massage. I drip warm oil onto a cheek and begin to rub it in, first gently, then more firmly. I hear Nina say softly, "Ummm, that's so nice." And I do the other one.

Now I decide to administer more sensual attention, outside what is acceptable in a purely therapeutic massage. This will help me understand her willingness to explore further in later sessions.

I work each cheek more deeply than before, exploring and prodding all around with my thumbs. I knead her cheeks in wide opposing circles, which opens up her crack and lets me see her rosebud. I use both hands to encircle and massage first her left cheek and then her right. In order to grasp each one I have to place the edge of my hand deep in her crack, a risky move that might offend her. But Nina's sighs shows she's enjoying the experience.

Just as I'm almost done with her buttocks she tells me that she's really enjoying what I'm doing and so I continue a bit longer. I use one hand to hold her cheeks separated while the other hand lets two drops of hot oil fall in her crack. She sighs, "Ohhh that's nice" as I stroke the edge of my hand inside her crack and glide over her rosebud without penetrating it. She purrs in delight.

After finishing there I do long strokes along her body that extend down closer to the table than normal, occasionally brushing the sides of her breasts. All the while she is moaning, "Ummmmm."

I spread her legs a bit to make it easier to work on her legs. When I'm working at the junction of leg and torso, which I couldn't do when she was draped, I'm able to almost completely encircle her leg with my hands, including her groin area, and rub in warm oil. However I am careful to avoid her pussy, even though I come extremely close.

Her moans indicate she is truly enjoying this new experience. She would probably be open to some stimulation of her pussy, quite visible to me. But I'm not sure she's ready for that this time, and so I decide to leave it.

Before having her turn over I wipe the oil off her back with a cool damp cloth. I wipe every part of her, and matter-of-factly go deep in her crack; there is no objection from her. After I dry her off I dribble powder down her back, and then distribute it with light feathery strokes. I am careful to get every inch that I have massaged, including that same crack. By this time she is purring, in obvious rapture.

I whisper in her ear, "Nina, it's time to turn over. Do you want to have your front covered, or do you want to continue this way?" Her response is one word, "Undraped." And then softly, "This is wonderful! So much nicer!"

As she slowly turns over I'm treated for the first time to the full unfettered heavenly sight of her revealed charms. Her breasts are full, ripe, mature, resting on her chest. They are tipped with lovely nipples, now fully erect like pencil erasers. How I would love to grasp them, to suck on them. But that would be going too fast at this point. I can wait for another time. She needs to know that I'll not violate her trust. I see her nicely trimmed pussy hair, damp with arousal, inviting attention. And I smell her arousal. She is an erotic vision of aroused womanhood.

She stretches a bit, raising her chest, which only adds to the eroticism of the vision.

I glance over at the picture on the wall, the one of the four-poster bed. I stand there imagining how beautiful she would look on that bed. I hear "Victor?" I guess I've been dreaming a bit too long. "I'm sorry Nina, but something was occupying my mind. I didn't mean to ignore you like that." And I refocus my mind on the pleasant task at hand.

I place a bolster under her knees; it not only raises them but spreads them slightly and now I see deep between her thighs what was once hidden by the drape. I place a block under her neck and head, and she rests there, eyes open, a smile of satiation on her face. I gaze into her her eyes, delight in the sparkle that I see there, and smile at her for a few seconds. Already she is completely limp and relaxed, and the massage is only half done.

As usual I sit on the stool at the head of the table and massage her head, neck, face, ears, nose, and lips. And then I continue massaging her front.

Again, there are a few changes relative to a draped massage. I've spread her legs a bit, so that when I work on the fronts of her legs and thighs I have no difficulty continuing the strokes extremely deep, right to her groin. Her pussy is in plain view, dripping from arousal. But again I avoid it, as I'm not quite sure yet of her limits.

When I do long strokes they extend upwards to the very edges of her breasts, and I make sure to touch them, but just barely. And when I rub her abdomen I apply extra oil and work down as close to her pussy as I can get. I make sure to spend extra time massaging her lower abdomen with hot oil, always getting as close to her pussy as I can without touching it.

When I massage the front of her shoulders I extend the massage to the tops of her breasts, and when reaching over to her side I brush the outside edges of her breasts as well. But otherwise I keep my hands off of them.

And when I'm done with the oil I wipe all of her front with another cool damp cloth. I make sure to wipe deep into her groin and include her pussy, but in a matter-of-fact kind of way.

When I wipe her torso I extend right up to her breasts and briefly under them a bit. After drying her off I dribble powder up and down her torso, a sensual shower of gentle touches that arouses her nipples once again. It's so erotic to see her nipples rise and fall. I distribute the powder with light feathery touches. I casually move each breast aside, apply powder around it, and move it back.

I'm done with the massage, but I pause to take in what I see before me. Nina is totally relaxed. Her legs are spread in total abandon. Her breasts with their erect nipples rise and fall in time with her relaxed breathing. An expression of total contentment is on her face. And I am now much surer that she's open to a much more sensual and erotic experience next session.

I place a hand flat on her abdomen, just above her pussy, and one on her chest, between her breasts, and rest them there for a minute. Her nipples are so fascinating, seemingly begging for attention, and I decide to take a chance. I lean over and lightly kiss first the right nipple (she gasps), and then the left. Then I kiss her forehead, tell her that the massage is finished, that she can stay there and relax until she feels ready to get up. And then I glance at the picture again and leave the room.

Autumn Clematis Ch. 02



Introduction

This is the second of the four chapters of this story, and will read better if you start with the first chapter, which also explains how this story came about.

 ------------------------------------------


Part 6

I lay on the table for a few moments reflecting on what had just transpired. I was so aroused, my nipples hard, my pussy dripping. My mind was spinning. Victor's response to my decision to have an undraped massage brought as many questions as it answered. As I thought about this, my hand travelled downward, finding my swollen, wanting clitoris. I began to rub slowly at first and then quickening my tempo. My other hand found one breast and then the other, rolling the nipples between my fingers. The nipples that Victor had oh so briefly kissed! In my heightened state of arousal it did not take long to bring myself to orgasm, all the while imagining that it was Victor's touch providing such delight.

As my breathing began to return to normal, I slowly got up and began to dress. What was I to make of this? Was I letting my imagination run away with me again? The massage itself was as professional as any draped one he'd ever given me. His finger tips coming so near to my pussy, yet not really touching, and the way he moved my breasts to apply the powder, this was almost clinical in manner. But those kisses, sweet and oh so fleeting, there was nothing clinical about that.

And the massage of my buttocks - much more complete than usual and he's never touched me near my anus before. Surely that is not a routine part of any kind of regular therapeutic massage.

Yet neither was done in an overtly sexual manner. Still, he had to be aware of my arousal. There is no way he could have not noticed my erect nipples, the moisture clinging to my mound. Perhaps all of his female clients react this way to a nude massage? But again, I think about his lips on my nipples....does he do that to everyone?

Now fully dressed I ponder what to say to him as I leave the massage room. We generally chat for a few minutes before I leave; usually he asks me questions about my work day. But today I decide that I need to direct the conversation. I must make some comment on what just happened, I must let him know I enjoyed it. Somehow I need to let him know that I would welcome even more sensual contact but I need to do that in a totally nonthreatening way in case I have completely misread his intent. My hand on the door, I take a deep breath as I open it.

As usual, Victor is waiting for me near the door with a glass of water. I reach to take it from him using both hands, and I wrap my fingers around his hand, holding on for a moment. I look at him squarely in the eyes and say "Victor, I've never enjoyed a massage more. Air conditioning problems or not, I don't believe I'll ever go back to a draped massage .... if that's okay with you?" I took the glass from his hands, sipping the water without breaking eye contact.

Part 7

I had waited a bit uneasily for Nina to leave the massage room. I certainly hadn't wanted to get her upset during the massage; but yet I felt the need to see if she was willing to explore her sensuality a bit.

I'm glad she's right up front about enjoying that massage, and that she'd like to continue like that. But there's something behind the way she's looking directly into my eyes, holding my hand in a way she's never done before. I think she's wondering where we go from here, and not quite sure how to bring it up. Well, if I've got it wrong about her I'll probably lose her, but I've got to be honest with her.

I look directly at her, take her free hand, squeeze it affectionately, and put on a big smile to hide the butterflies in my stomach.

"Nina, I think this massage was a wonderful new experience for you. I know I enjoyed pleasing you. And I'm really happy you want to continue the same way. You'll be glad.

"I must confess that I did a few things that were not quite strictly therapeutic. I hope that I didn't do anything to upset you. But I thought you might want start to experiment a bit with some sensuality and eroticism.

"For me, seeing you at peace, totally relaxed, trusting in what I do, is a wonderful compliment. And you've such an attractive body that it's a treat to see it. I'm not sure which of us enjoyed today more."

Part 8

"Oh Victor, I bet you say that to all your female clients" Nina says, with a sly grin on her face. "I did wonder a bit though, if everything that happened in there was of a completely therapeutic nature. Not that I'm complaining."

"No, I don't say that to any of my other female clients. And I think you're quite perceptive. And I'm glad you're not complaining," I say returning her sly grin. "You've been a special client from the time you first came here and I always look forward to seeing you. What's on your mind?"

"Well Victor, I feel very comfortable here with you. But .... your massage room seems so, well, feminine. I know you have male clients, I've seen them coming into your office after me. How do they feel about it?"

"Come with me. I'll show you something that might help clear things up a bit." I open the door to the other massage room so she can check it out.

"This room seems almost clinical in comparison to the room I've always been in. It's nicely done, and certainly soothing but there is nothing even remotely sensual in its decor.

"So now I'm even more confused. Why two rooms?" "I see almost all of my clients in this room. All my male clients are treated there, and almost all of my female clients as well.

"The room where we meet is actually a resource for the community of all kinds of therapists to which I belong. I rent it out to members of the community on an as-needed basis. They use it for a variety of therapy-related things that require a relaxing feminine setting. It's in use quite often, just usually not by me.

"Right now I've only two massage clients in that room. You're one of them. The other is one of the therapists who convinced me to set up that room for the community."

"But how did I end up there?"

"When you first came to see me there was something about you that told me you have a very sensual nature. Without even thinking I decided that you needed a more sensual and welcoming place for your massages. I hoped you might even ask for a bit more sensuality. But it would have been unethical of me to take any liberties without you explicitly asking and giving permission. And I just couldn't come up with some way to make it easy for you to ask for what you wanted."

"And then the air conditioning broke."

"It really did. Sometimes things just work out that way. So I gave you some options, left it for you to decide, and hoped you'd make the right decision. And you did.

"But I acted a bit unethically when I touched you in ways that are not a part of therapeutic massages. However I felt that was the only way to let you experience some things that I was pretty sure you wouldn't ask for."

"Like kissing my nipples?" she says with a smile.

"Yes. I felt I just had to nudge you a bit. And now I'm hoping that you'll feel more free to be open about what you want. And I did enjoy doing that too, I must confess."

"Do you give your other female clients undraped massages?"

"Yes, I do. But only if they request it; you might be surprised how many do. But the massage remains completely therapeutic.

Occasionally a woman who's lived in Europe will request that I massage her breasts. And I do, but I don't touch or kiss her nipples. It's all strictly therapeutic."

"Victor, I did enjoy today's massage - all of it, ethical or not. And I can only imagine how wonderful it might feel to have you massage my breasts. Are there other more sensual things that can be included in a massage?"

"Well Nina, I'd love to offer you the absolute limit in sensuality, a complete full body sensual massage. Like today's massage you're nude, and it includes all the therapeutic features.

"But in addition no part of your body is avoided, which will be more open than before. For example, your legs would be spread further to facilitate longer, deeper and more intimate strokes. It's extremely sensual and definitely quite erotic. I'd never offer it to any of my other female clients; this would be just for you.

"But just to be clear, there's no sex involved. And of course you can always stop me if anything upsets you."

"Victor, what you've just described sounds very enticing. You and I have known each other long enough that I know I can trust you won't do anything I'm not comfortable with. Let me think about it until my next appointment, okay?"

Part 9

The moment I left Victor's studio the last time, I knew I wanted to experience a more complete and sensual nude massage. I also knew I was playing with fire. My feelings for Victor had increased and there were subtle signals from him that perhaps his feelings for me were more than clinical.

He was dead on in his assessment that my sensual side has been hiding. That has been true for quite some time. During the last two weeks I've thought about the last massage, those almost sexual touches, our conversation after, over and over again. Sharing this with him might be tough for me, yet nothing or no one had stirred me as he has.

The safe course of action might be to keep all this to myself, continue to visit Victor for more mainstream massages and just allow my fantasies to continue. By opening myself up to him, both emotionally and physically, I could be endangering the relationship altogether. Without knowing what he was really thinking it is impossible to tell. I've never been much of a risk taker and even as I walked in the door, I wasn't totally sure what I would do or say.

It's been two weeks since Nina experienced her nude massage with me. And she's back today for her regular appointment.

As usual I give her a tight hug. She's wearing the same outfit as last time. And I detect a faint trace of arousal again, almost masked by the scent she's wearing. But I also detect some nervousness, like before that last massage. I wonder if she's nervous about what might happen today.

"Nina, I'm so glad to see you. I know the last time was a wonderful new experience for you. And I know I enjoyed pleasing you. Just before you left I offered you a complete full body sensual massage and you said you'd think about it. You can tell me yes or no after you get ready."

I take Nina into the room, remove the drape from the table since she won't be using it, and present her with the two carnations that I always give to her to take after her session. The room is still scented with autumn clematis but I've increased the intensity; its sweet honey-like smell is now much more apparent.

To reassure her I hug her again, then look her straight in her eyes and say "I really enjoy pleasing you, and I'm looking forward to whatever you've decided on for today." Then I leave so she can get ready.

There seemed to be something different in the way he looked at me today, such intense eye contact. The hello hug seemed more personal, his words more pointed. I may be dreaming all this up, but at this moment I decide I want to know. I need to know where this may go.

When I re-enter the room Nina is not lying down on the table but is sitting on its edge, nude, with that twinkle in her eyes, although perhaps still a bit nervous. She is wonderful to look at. I put my hands on her shoulders, give her a quick kiss on the forehead, and make no secret of looking at her. "Nina, I always delight seeing you smiling, confident and happy, and especially today, naked."

She laughs at the "naked" comment. "Victor, you must know by now that I want to try your sensual massage. I knew this would be my choice before I left your office the last time. I want to experience whatever you have to offer. I want to tell you face to face instead of hiding my face in the cradle. What you said to me last time about needing to explore my sensual side is very true. I know I've been somewhat closed off to that for some time now. But I trust you to help me do just that. I'd never have guessed it, but telling you this face to face is a bit of a turn on. I can't believe I just told you that."

"It's absolutely ok to admit what you're feeling, especially today." I can smell her arousal but say nothing about it.

"There's nothing that will please me more today than helping you enjoy all the sensuality and eroticism that you're willing to experience.

"This will be something special from me to you; none of my other clients ever receive anything like this. I don't touch any other client like I'll be touching you, and I'll be saying things reserved for us alone. And I do want to assure you that we won't be having sex. If there's anything that makes you uncomfortable during the massage please let me know.

"You'll enjoy this experience most if you're absolutely open and explicit about what you like and don't like. Just let yourself go. Don't hold anything back. You'll find just doing that to be a sensual experience in itself."

She asks for some water, and while she's sipping it I sit next her and reach around and work her neck and shoulders to relieve her jitters. As I work on her neck and shoulders I almost lose myself in the picture of the four-poster bed. I can't stop imagining what it would be like for us to be together there. What happens now will tell me a lot about the chances of that ever happening.

After she finishes sipping the water she lies face down on the table and I begin.



Autumn Clematis Ch. 03



Introduction

This is the third of four chapters in this story. The introduction to chapter 1 explains how this story came about. 

------------------------------------------------- 


Part 10

I start the massage by spreading her legs and placing separate small bolsters under each ankle.

"Are you comfortable Nina?" "Yes, thank you Victor. I will tell you that I'm just a little bit nervous."

"Just remember that you can stop me at any time. This is for your pleasure. I certainly don't want to do anything that upsets you.

"Incidentally, today I'll be using a warm water-based lotion instead of oil. Oil is not good for the more intimate parts of your body."

While she's in this position I perform a thorough therapeutic massage of her back, arms, shoulders, and spine. This helps her relax a bit, and relieves her apprehension. But today I put more of myself into each stroke. Each stroke is slower, and my fingers explore every inch of her back. I try to put extra tenderness and care into each touch of her body.

"What you're doing feels especially nice today."

"This massage is special for you today and so I'm putting even more of myself into the way I'm touching you.

"You have such wonderful smooth skin. It's very relaxing for me to feel it in my hands. And I can feel you relaxing too.

"But now I need you to lift your hips off the table while I slide a pillow under you."

The pillow holds her hips up just enough that there is some space between her thighs and the table so that I can slide my hands completely around them. She's completely supported by the pillow so she can just relax. To allow me better access I spread her thighs way out.

There is nothing of her lower body hidden from view. Her pussy is damp with arousal and its scent begins to fill the air.

I wonder if he can tell how nervous I am. I'm sure I'm blushing. He may well be thinking this is just a professional massage....does he know how turned on I am? Do his other clients react this way? But he's told me that he'd never do this for any of his other clients, that he'd be doing things that are only for me. Oh my! This is not a regular professional massage at all! 

And as if he is reading my mind, Victor says "Nina, being so vulnerable like this is part of sensuality and eroticism. And it brings out a bit of the exhibitionist that's in all of us. Just thinking about things like this can be very arousing; it's part of the whole experience. And I'm enjoying helping you along the way."

I guess I didn't really think much about what he said when he offered me this sensual massage and talked about exploring my sensuality . This is already more intimate and arousing than I'd ever imagined. But he seems convinced that this is right for me. And something inside me is telling me that this is what I've needed for a long time.

Oh how his hands feel so especially tender and caring today. And when he kissed my nipples at that last massage it so aroused me and made me want more. And today he's giving me more.

I wish my face wasn't hidden in the face cradle so that he could see the smile on my face. Oh yes, I'm going to totally abandon myself to his care and enjoy whatever happens. And I'll not hold back telling him how I'm feeling about what he's doing.

I grasp a leg and bend it to put her foot in a better position for me. I massage her foot with all the tenderness and passion I can muster. First I tenderly caress completely around it, top, sides and bottom. Then I pretend I'm making love to her foot as I annoint its sole with warm lotion and explore every inch with my thumbs. I rub each toe and explore it, pulling and squeezing it, as if it were one of her wonderful nipples that I can hardly wait to touch for the first time.

I slowly rub warm lotion into the leg. I do long slow strokes, proceeding deep along and completely around her thighs, very slowly so she can anticipate their slow progression towards her groin. Each stroke ends with my fingers grazing the lips of her pussy. The first time she gasps at the touch and then tentatively tries to spread herself even wider. I repeat on the other side and she adjusts her position again.

"Nina, I can tell you're enjoying this. Go ahead and spread your legs if it heightens your enjoyment. It's good for you to respond that way." And she does.

"Yes, sooo nice," I hear her whispering at each stroke. And then, "I so wanted you to touch me there last time."

"And I wanted to also last time. But it would have been taking advantage of your trust. But now that you've told me that it's ok I'll be touching and pleasuring your most intimate parts."

"Your hands feel so good the way you're touching me. I do want to feel them touching me everywhere."

I return to work on her buttocks. I annoint one cheek with warm lotion and lovingly and tenderly massage it in its entirety. My fingers probe all around it, my thumbs pressing deeply around, reaching into her crack for access to the edges of the cheek.

I hold her cheeks open and drip in a couple of drops of warm lotion. I hear a long "Ohhhh" from Nina as I stroke between her cheeks, making sure to continue to extend my strokes over the lips of her pussy. With my thumbs I continue to explore each smooth beautiful cheek. And as I work the insides of her buttocks I continually stroke across her rosebud.

"Victor, I've never experienced anything like this before. Last time I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but today, oooh....."

"There are wonderfully sensitive nerves here that give a lot of pleasure when stimulated. Most people don't know about them. And many people are shy about this part of their body. But I know I enjoy attention there, and I'm glad you do too. I'll work on this for a few minutes so you can relax and get into this new experience. Just let yourself go and let your mind and body get used to being massaged here."

For several minutes I continue to tenderly stroke inside her crack and across her rosebud and the lips of her pussy. I make sure to give a bit of extra attention to the small expanse of skin between her rosebud and pussy, the perineum. Nina continues to purr with satisfaction.

I drip a small amount of warm lotion directly on her rosebud. She gasps. Using my thumbs I play with its outer edges a bit, prodding it just a tiny bit. I know this is a new experience for her. She tenses up a little.

"Just relax Nina. Enjoy the feeling of the warm lotion, and let me help you loosen up there. I'll be very gentle as I open you."

I move my hands away for a moment to massage her cheeks. Then I return and again gently rub warm lotion in her crack and over her rosebud. I sense her tension slowly going away. Again I play with its outer edges a bit, move back to her cheeks, and rub warm lotion along her entire crack. When I return the next time her rosebud opens just enough, without resistance.

I drip warm lotion directly on it, carefully insert my middle finger and slowly rotate it as I penetrate just a short distance. I'm very careful to go very slowly and not too deep.

"Oh my! That is nice." "I was pretty sure you'd like it. I'll keep doing this for a while so you can enjoy these new sensations."

My finger remains there for a minute while the other hand drips more lotion around it as lubrication. And then while continually twisting my finger I very slowly and gently stroke in and out. I am careful to not go too deep, because the sensitive nerves I want to stimulate are right near the entrance. Fresh warm lotion continually bathes her crack as I work.

"Is it still good Nina?" "Don't make me talk. Just keep doing what you're doing. Let me concentrate on how nice this feels." And so I continue for some time, tenderly and slowly moving my finger in her anus, and gently fondling first one cheek and then the other. As I continue I sense her totally relaxing and giving in to the sensations.

With my free hand I reach under Nina, locate her clitoris, and gently fondle it as my other hand continues to work her anus.

Nina's breath quickens. I see her pussy lips open, longing for the penetration that won't be there. "Oh that's good. Whatever you're doing, don't stop"

I hear "Ohhh, Ohhh, Oh God, Oh God" as she cums for the first time today. I let my finger rest inside her anus for a moment and then slowly remove it.

"Oh, that was wonderful! Such a new experience!"

"I'm glad you enjoyed that. More will be coming." As quickly as possible I clean my hands. I don't see anything on them from her anus, but it's best not to take chances.

As she continues to come down from her release I tenderly massage her groin and completely around her thighs. I really enjoy their soft warm feeling and work right up into her groin again, massaging every part.

Her pussy is in a perfect position for me to attend it. I spread the fingers of one hand and run them along both sides of the outer labia. With the other hand I drip warm lotion directly on her pussy and proceed to stroke along the lips as Nina moans in delight. As her pussy opens again I slip in one finger and then another and stroke deeply in and out as she purrs in delight.

The smell of her dew is now mixed with that of the autumn clematis. My cock is hard and wants to be free of my shorts. But that won't happen today.

"What you're doing is so nice. You're really spoiling me. It feels so good!"

"I'm so glad you're enjoying this. We'll do more of this in a few minutes. But there are other things to work on first."

"I'm so looking forward to whatever's coming next."

I have no intention of bringing her to another climax at this particular moment. And so as I continue stroking I am careful to avoid her clitoris and her G-spot, and I slowly withdraw my attention from this part of her body.

"Nina, it's time to turn over."

Part 11

When Nina turns over I am again treated to the view of her charms. I wonder if I will ever find looking at her body an ordinary event. I hope not.

It seems to me that she might need a moment to catch her breath, I know I do. I ask if she'd like a sip of water before we continue, she nods her head. I pour her a glass from the pitcher I've brought into the room and as I hand it to her, her hands close around mine and she looks me squarely in the eye, not breaking contact for what seems like an eternity. "Thank you, Victor" she says with such intensity that I can't be sure if the appreciation is simply for the glass of water.

"Nina, it's such a treat for me to see you like this. You have such a wonderful expression of contentment on your face, and you seem to be enjoying the attention."

"I'm really enjoying this more than I ever imagined. I'm so glad I decided to to trust you completely."

As I start her front massage I spread her legs more than usual.

Then I sit on the edge of the table, lift her leg up so that her calf is resting on my shoulder and slide closer to her body. Nothing is obstructed now and I delight at the sight of her beautiful pussy, its lips open, wanting release. I would love to bend over to lick it, to taste her sweet nectar, to explore its depths with my tongue. I know that Nina would enjoy that too; but that will not happen this session.

I look up for a moment and gaze at the rest of her body. Her entire torso is like a present wrapped in beautiful smooth soft skin and punctuated by her delightful navel. Her breasts gently rise and fall in time with her relaxed breathing. Nina is looking at me, a contented smile on her face. I smile at her and look right in her eyes; feelings of peace and affection flow over me as I caress her leg with all the tenderness I can manage.

Then a kind of amused grin appears on her face as she realizes how completely open to my view her center is. "Do you like what you see Victor?"

"Yes, I do. And it's wonderful. Your pussy is like a beautiful flower that opens and releases its perfume. This is a real high for me." As she watches me I reach down, stroke her pussy with a finger, and raise it to my nose to smell her delightful dew. "You smell so nice. It's like I'm in a fragrant garden."

With her calf resting on my shoulder I have both hands free to massage her leg slowly and lovingly along its full length and completely around it. I close my eyes and pretend I'm making love to her. When a stroke reaches her groin I continue on, working deep into it, and finish by running my fingers lightly back and forth over the lips of her pussy. I continue strokes in this way for several minutes. And then I switch sides. All this time Nina has been purring without interruption. She's obviously enjoying this.

I hear a very quiet "Awesome." Having finished with her legs I turn my attention to her torso. As I massage the front of her shoulders, I let the strokes continue down over her breasts. And when her shoulders are done I move my complete attention to her full mature breasts.

I attend to her right breast first, and then her left. I use my fingers to smooth gently away from the nipple using only slight pressure. The strokes are very slow and tender and I repeat them several times. Then with a kneading-like motion I gently fondle the breast and apply some light pressure. Grasping the breast with both hands, I twist it slightly first clockwise and then the other direction. Next I use slightly heavier pressure to compress her breast all around, starting near the nipple and working outwards. And finally I grasp her breast at the base, gently stretch it towards the ceiling, and then allow it to flow gently back to its original shape.

"Nina, the way I just massaged your breasts was standard therapeutic practice.I thought you might appreciate knowing what that's like. Now I'm going to be much more sensual."

"What you just did felt really nice. I'm know I'll enjoy whatever you do next."

Now, using my fingers I lightly trace circles around both breasts in a kind of figure eight. Then I focus on her right breast, tracing in ever smaller circles until I reach her erect nipple and very lightly fondle it between my fingers.

"Mmmm Victor, that feels wonderful. My nipples are so very sensitive. When you kissed them that very first time it got me so aroused, even though those kisses were so fleeting. I would have welcomed so much more that day."

"Nina, I love your breasts. And they feel so wonderful in my hands. You are so blessed to have them and those wonderfully sensitive nipples. And I don't know who's enjoying this more, you or me."

A bit of warm lotion dripped onto her right breast brings a moan of pleasure. I use both hands to encircle her globe, caress it, and squeeze it. I repeat some of the therapeutic moves. I loose one drop of warm lotion directly onto her fully erect nipple, grasp it between my fingers, and gently pull it, then lovingly squeeze and twist it. I love tending Nina's large erect nipples.

I lean over, open my mouth, gently send warm breath over the tip of her breast, and lick its hard erect nipple with my tongue, lick the areola, and enclose it and the nipple with my mouth. After a tender nip I suck on her nipple and tease the area with my tongue. My lips close on her nipple and pull on it, then suck again. I continue this way licking and sucking, teasing with my lips, for many minutes.

I happen to glance up and notice that she's watching me. We smile at each other but she says nothing and just keeps moaning in pleasure. And then I do her left breast the same way.

The scent of Nina's womanhood has been filling the room for quite some time and has almost overpowered the scent of the autumn clematis. Her pussy is wide open, engorged, awaiting release, dripping her sweet dew.

I love to see a woman cum. A woman in the throes of orgasm is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. And giving a woman an orgasm is something I find very satisfying, something that I remember for days afterwards. So I eagerly look forward to bringing Nina to another release now.

I pour warm lotion on her stomach, just below her ribs, and use both hands to massage the entire area. I tease a bit around her navel and massage inside it with a finger. With my thumbs I gently prod around it, as if I'm trying to open it.

I teasingly drip warm lotion on her abdomen directly above her pussy and massage there in circles. This time as I work down into her groin I freely massage her mound. My hands open her pussy. I gently squeeze her lips between my fingers and fondle them, first the right, and then the left. I hear Nina sighing "Yes, oh yes, so good."

"Your lips feel so soft and silky. I could do this for hours. There's something about this part of you that's magical the way it attracts me." I continue fondling her lips for quite some time as she keeps purring.

Then I explore the depths of her pussy. I find her G-spot and begin rubbing it as her pussy opens and closes upon my fingers. "Ohhh", she gasps as I drip warm lotion on her clitoris and gently fondle it. One hand continues to stroke her G-spot as the other tenderly rubs warm lotion around her clitoris, tenderly squeezing and teasing its soft enclosure. I continue this way for several minutes, as long as it takes for her to become fully aroused.

Her breath begins to come in shorter and more frequent bursts as she builds towards her climax. "Use more fingers. Deeper. Deeper. Slow down a bit. Now a bit faster. You're getting me so aroused!" Suddenly she thrusts her pelvis up and throws her head back, her eyes closed. "Oh God, Oh God, Yes, OOOHHHHH!" I feel tremors race through her entire body. She lets out a quiet sigh of release, her body tenses and then she lies there silently, her breathing totally relaxed.

For a moment my hands move away from her center to let her briefly relax, but I still continue massaging all around it. And then I resume fingering her pussy, tending her G-spot, fondling her engorged clitoris again. I bend over, put my tongue into her navel and suck and lick it as my hands continue their work. She approaches her climax more rapidly this time.

"What you're doing to me is so incredible. I can't believe I'm going to cum again! Oh this is wonderful."

I wait for her to finish and slowly move my hands away from her womanhood. I take one of my fingers that was in her pussy and offer it to her. She asks "For me?" I nod and she smells and tastes her own nectar. Then I bring up it to my own face, to smell and taste, enjoying its exquisite sweet flavor. "I love your smell and taste."

"Victor I have to have something more in my pussy. What you've done is awesome, but I need something more to feel complete. I really want to feel your cock in me, but I know we're not going to do that. There's got to be something you can do. Please do something! Oh God I need something more!"

"I have a nice warm vibrator that I think will help. It not only looks like a cock, but feels like one too." When I turn it on it slowly vibrates, and little undulations move up and down its shaft. I show it to Nina. "For me? I guess it will have to do for now."

I lubricate it, and then slowly penetrate her pussy while we look right into each other's eyes. "It feels almost real. I can so easily pretend it's you and not a machine." With my other hand I drip more warm lotion around her clitoris and slowly and gently fondle it while moving the vibrator in and out. "Yes, this helps a bit. If you keep doing that I'll cum again."

This time Nina's orgasm is very quiet and relaxed. And she just sighs and smiles, "Oh, that was nice. Thank you. But I still want the real thing sometime."

"I think that would be wonderful for both of us."

I glance over at the picture of the four-poster bed and imagine us making love there. Her reactions have made it clear that she's harboring some kind of feelings for me. She's finally enjoying her sensuality again. I simply must tell her how I feel about her after we're done.




Autumn Clematis Ch. 03



As I caress other parts of her body she continues to come down from her release. I continue gently stroking her for several minutes, until I'm sure that she's recovered.

It's now time to finish. As before, I wipe her body with a damp cloth. I need to use a separate cloth for her groin as it's so wet with lotion and her juices. And I take special care wiping each breast. After drying her off I powder down her front. I take each breast in both hands, tenderly and gently fondle it, and rub powder around it, not missing even the tiniest part.

I step back and gaze at her. Her legs are still spread in total abandon. Her arms lie loosely at her side. And for the first time today her nipples are no longer erect. This sight of Nina is beauty and eroticism to be enjoyed and savored and remembered.

"Nina, I enjoyed giving you pleasure, and now I'm enjoying just looking at you, relaxed and satisfied. You look so beautiful the way you are."

I lean over and kiss first the nipple of her right breast then the left. I suck each one a tiny bit and tease it with my tongue. But Nina is not capable of being aroused again and her nipples do not respond. Gently I cover her with the drape so she will be warm and comfortable. Then I kiss her on her forehead, whisper that the massage is over, and tell her she can relax there as long as she needs.

I lay there for a few moments, consciously allowing my breathing and my heart rate to return to normal. My mind however, was racing a thousand miles a minute. What had just happened here? Surely, Victor doesn't do this kind of massage as standard practice, even a normal undraped massage or even what he calls a "sensual massage".

I can't imagine telling a woman that he enjoys looking at her body is something that would be allowed. I'm glad he told me that he'd be doing and saying things that he'd never do for any of his other clients. As I slowly start to dress I am astounded when I realize how much time has passed. I've been on that table for an hour and forty five minutes. Certainly he planned this would take longer than normal, otherwise he would have another client booked right after me. After being brought to multiple orgasms at the hands of this man, and having him speak to me so tenderly, my attraction to him has grown even stronger. And it has become clear that he returns those feelings.

I smile at that thought and at what has just transpired. I cannot remember ever being this satiated. The only thing that could have made it more complete would have been to have his cock in me. I'm certain now that he wants the same thing. He and I have been tiptoeing around each other and our feelings for quite some time. He because of his ethical and professional standards while I have simply let the door to this part of myself stay closed and locked far too long. Today, finally, Victor has opened it.



Autumn Clematis Ch. 04



I wait for Nina to emerge from the room. She's been resting from her massage for quite a bit longer than usual. But of course the session was quite a bit longer than normal; and all the intense sensuality and intimate erotic touching and her orgasms might have overwhelmed her so that she needs more time to recover. I'm almost positive she enjoyed everything. But I could be wrong; perhaps she's decided that she let me go too far and doesn't know what to do and is afraid to come out.

But the door opens and to my great relief it is absolutely clear that she enjoyed everything. She looks absolutely radiant and she has a wonderful smile of satisfaction on her face. I'm both relieved and encouraged. I feel confident that when I express my feelings for her they'll not be rejected.

She immediately comes over to me, gives me a hug, then steps away and says "Victor, that was absolutely amazing. I can't even begin to explain to you how I feel... serene and relaxed, yet energized at the same time."

"I'm so very happy that you enjoyed what we just did. I enjoyed hearing your reactions and expressions of pleasure as I worked on your body. The ways I touched you and the things I said were for you alone; no other client will experience that from me. That you trust me so completely has touched me in ways I can't describe.

"I'm growing to care very much about you. I enjoy seeing you, talking with you, hearing about your day. I enjoy just watching you walk in the door. You've started to become an important part of my life. I'll never do anything to hurt you.

"But now I want us to take a really big risk together. I'd like us to become lovers. I'd like us to enjoy the special intimacies that lovers enjoy. And while we're doing that we'll get to know each other more fully. We'll share our hopes and dreams with each other. We'll share with each other who we are. And then we'll decide whether or not we want to make a permanent commitment to each other.

"Nina, will you be my lover? "I don't want to hear your decision right now, even if you know what it will be. I want you to think about it and live with your decision for a while, and become comfortable with it. A couple of days before our next session I'll call you and we'll meet, and I'll ask for your decision then."

I was practically flying as I left Victor's office. I wanted to scream out my "yes" to his question. But it seemed so important to him that I think it over and take some time with my decision. Could it be that he really hasn't had an inkling of the way I've felt for him all these weeks? I know it must be a big step for him to even think about a professional relationship becoming a personal one. He was so sincere and almost serious in his tone as he talked about this possibility. So very sweet. And so I will wait until I hear from him - and until I do I will have the pleasure of anticipating our next encounter.

Part 13

It's now been almost two weeks since I last saw Nina. I'm looking forward to her next session, only a few days away. But first I need an answer to the question that I asked her after our last session.

I call her. "Nina, your next session is just a couple of days away. And I told you I'd be calling before then. Right now I want to invite you to something special. I think you'd enjoy experiencing sunrise with me in my outdoor jacuzzi."

"Sounds wonderful Victor. I've never done that before with anyone. And it will be a good opportunity to talk. When did you have in mind?"

"Well, tonight it's going to be warm, and stay that way through tomorrow morning. The temperature will be just right for soaking in my jacuzzi. So I'm thinking that you could come to my place early tomorrow morning, before dawn, and we'll watch the sunrise together."

Nina eagerly accepts. I tell her I'll be really looking forward to it, and that she should arrive a solid hour before sunrise, while it's still dark.

It's quite tricky finding my place even during the day, especially with all the country roads. I give her very detailed directions about finding her way through Smicksburg to my place out in the countryside. And I suggest that she might want to bring her working clothes with her so she can go directly to her office from my place.

I wonder what her answer will be. I know what I'm hoping it will be; but I don't dare raise my hopes only to have them shattered. It will probably be a long sleepless night, just like every night since I asked her to be my lover.

Part 14

Victor's directions were very detailed and I even did a Mapquest search, but this area is pretty remote. I had no idea he lived out in the middle of the country. I was trying hard to concentrate on where I was driving, but my thoughts kept drifting to where I was going emotionally.

It had been a very long time since I had let myself trust not only a man, but myself with my emotions. Yet I was prepared to give my all to Victor. Funny, what began as a silly crush, a fantasy, all those months ago, might just now be the beginning of something wonderful. I wonder if he is as nervous as I am.

It's about an hour before dawn, still dark. The smell of autumn is in the air. But this season of Indian Summer brought with it a pleasantly warm night that has lingered until this morning. I'm hoping it lasts a few more days.

Nina should be here soon, to watch the sunrise from my outdoor jacuzzi, and more importantly to give me her answer. Everything about her at that last session indicated that she'll probably say yes; and during the massage she did say that she wanted my cock in her. So why am I so nervous? I just can't be sure of anything until I hear it directly from her.

All last night I slept barely a wink. I twisted and turned with both nervousness and an upset stomach stemming from apprehension that she won't take the risk. What do I do if that happens? I don't want to lose her and I don't think I could bear keeping her as just a client. I take a deep breath to try and calm myself. I pace aimlessly back and forth.

It's the first time that Nina has ever been here, and I'm hoping she doesn't get lost. I did give her extremely detailed directions. But all the hills and twisty country roads and sideroads here in Indiana County can easily get you lost. And on top of that she's coming in the dark. Every time I hear a noise I look to see if it's her. Where is she?

Just as I start to think it might not have been a good idea to ask her to come when it's dark she drives up. I take a deep breath and try to hide my nervousness.

I greet her, give her a big hug, and am relieved when she says she had no trouble at all finding my place. As I suggested, she's brought her work clothes, so she can go right to her office afterwards.

I bring Nina in for a minute and to show her where the toilet and shower are. Then we sit and chat a bit over coffee and toast. "Now we better start getting ready because we don't want to miss the show."

"Victor, I brought my bathing suit, but do I need it?" "No, it's completely unnecessary. There's no one else around and being nude won't be any problem. And besides, I was going to suggest that anyway."

I gather some towels for us and take Nina outside to the deck where the jacuzzi is lightly steaming in the pre-dawn air.

The pre-dawn night is clear, cloudless. The stars are still bright, easily seen. A tiny sliver of moon illuminates us just enough to barely see each other. We see the trail of a meteor shooting across the sky. We stand for a few minutes looking up.

This is a good time to ask Nina what she's decided. But before I can say a word she starts talking. "Victor, I can't wait any longer to tell you. Yes, I want us to be lovers. Yes, I want to be your lover. But I'm also quite scared about the risk we're taking. We have no idea what we're going to find when we start sharing who we are. But from the first day I started getting massages from you I've been able to trust you. And so I'm going to trust you again."

I pull her tightly to me. "I'm so happy and relieved with your decision. I've been so nervous since I asked you. I don't know what I would have done if you'd said no. I'm a bit scared about what might happen too. But the risk is necessary if we're to have the possibility of a future together.

"Let's initiate our new relationship at dawn. But right now let's get into the jacuzzi and wait for the sun."

I watch Nina as she strips. The darkness allows me to see only subtle hints of her body. She turns sideways and I see the outline of her wonderful breasts. Her nipples are erect, but in shadow. Her trimmed mound shows as a faint dark shadow.

She stands there naked, waiting for me to finish undressing. The anticipation has given me an erection, its shape easily seen even in the dim light. I see her trying to get a better view, and she makes no secret of her interest.

I take her hands, pull her to me, and give her a long firm hug. This is the first time we've been naked together and I enjoy feeling the warmth of her body against me. Her breasts with their erect nipples feel so good against my chest. "Nina, you feel so wonderful. I can hardly wait until dawn." We remain hugging like this for several minutes until I suggest we get into the jacuzzi.

As she lifts a leg high to climb over the side of the jacuzzi I try to get a good look at her wonderful pussy. I've seen her completely naked on my massage table, but I still feel drawn to the magic of her special part.

She sees me looking and shakes her head as if to say "You're just like every other man." But she's amused, not angry. And as I lift a leg to climb over the side, she goes out of her way to make sure I see her trying to get a really good look at my cock and balls. But in the dim light she can't. "I guess I'll continue to have to use my imagination", she comments. "I really don't need to imagine at all," I joke with her, "because I've got extremely good first-hand knowledge." For that comment she reaches over and gives my butt a wicked hard slap before I can sit down.

We sit next to each other in the jacuzzi as we look out over the deck towards the East. It's just starting to lighten up, and for the first time she sees that we're perched high on a gentle hill. Sunrise is still maybe a half hour away.

A sweet honey smell is in the air, autumn clematis on a trellis near by. It will continue to blossom for a few more days. "Victor, I smell the same scent that's in your massage room." "What you smell in my studio is an extract I made last year. I'll be making a new one from this year's blossoms. I make extracts from several other plants to use in my massage studio as the seasons change."

My erection has gone down because of the heat of the water. I reach over and start rubbing her neck and shoulders. She moves over and sits between my legs so that it's easier for me to rub her. After a while we're thoroughly relaxed by the jacuzzi bubbles. "Nina, it's starting to get too warm in the tub. Let's get out of the tub and sit on the deck together to watch the sunrise."

Today's pre-dawn morning is warm enough that we will be comfortable naked and don't need the warmth of the jacuzzi. A pleasant warm gentle breeze refreshes us as we get out of the tub.

The sun is still below the horizon, but starting to cast a glow into the sky. The stars are starting to fade from view. It has brightened enough that we can now see each other clearly. Fog is starting to lift from the valley floor. We hear a rooster crowing in the distance.

I take a soft towel and slowly wipe Nina dry. She sighs at the tender attention I pay to her body. Then I stand in front of her, my legs spread a bit. She wipes my back and buttocks, starts on my front, and kneels down to get my legs and thighs and between my legs. My erection returns and she is especially attentive drying it off. "Ok, you pass," she jokes. And then she carefully dries my balls with quite a bit more tender attention than is called for.

I sit down on a soft pad that's on the deck, expecting her to sit next to me. "What, you expect me to sit next to you? No way. Spread those legs so we can be like in the jacuzzi." As she nonchalantly sits down and nestles back against me and my hard cock she playfully twists her buttocks a little from side to side against it, treating me to a mini lap-dance. I enjoy the feeling of my cock nestled against her body. My arms reach around her, hugging her. As we watch the sun starting to appear my hands rub up and down her chest and casually fondle her breasts and squeeze her nipples.

"This is a wonderful way to start the day," she says as she snuggles to settle more closely against me. "I love the feeling of your hands touching me."

As we look out over the valley Nina sees a path leading down the hill from the house towards a small copse of trees. "What's down there Victor?" "There's a wonderful old foundation from the farm that was here. It's a nice quiet and private place to relax on a pleasant day. We'll go down there another day."

We feel peaceful and calm together as the show starts. I detect the now-familiar scent of her arousal. After just a few minutes we have to stop looking towards the sun, as it has become too bright. So we turn off to the side and let the sun's warmth caress our bodies.

"Nina, now that the sun is up let's make love for the first time. Let's make love right out here and enjoy the sun's light and warmth on our bodies." "That sounds wonderful," she says.

Part 15

"Making love with you for the first time is going be such a wonderful experience. And it's something for us to remember as long as possible", I say. "But the magic of our first time, the experience of our first intimacy, can happen only once. So let's do everything we can to make it as memorable as possible. Let's enjoy every physical sensation as often and as long as we can. Let's leave nothing unsaid that needs to be said. Let's share each and every sensation we feel. Let's take our time and not hurry at all.

"And we should be facing each other. It's a position used in Tantra sessions to enhance communication and intimacy. It will help us be more open as we initiate our new relationship as lovers. We won't have the freedom of movement afforded by more traditional positions, but it will be absolutely perfect for today."

While still seated we turn to face each other. "For this to be comfortable for us I've got to fetch a couple of chairs." So I get up and drag a heavy Adirondack chair around behind Nina; whenever she leans back it will support her back so that she won't have to use her arms. I position another chair the same way for me and then sit back down.

I spread my legs as far as possible and we slide towards each other so that my cock is against her pussy and her legs are over mine. She reaches down and takes me in her hand to guide me, and I gasp at the feeling of her touch. The coolness of her gentle hand is like an electric shock going through me. "Ohhhh, your hand feels so good on my cock. But be careful for a minute or I'll lose control."

I look at her smiling face, her eyes shining brighter than ever before. We sit quietly for a minute, looking intently at each other while I regain control. She maneuvers my cock so that its head is just touching the entrance to her center. We look into each others' eyes as the tip of my cock parts her nether lips, now ready for our joining.

"Victor, I'm truly ready for this. I'm warm and wet from just thinking about you and I so want you inside me."

Slowly we slide together, and I describe what I'm feeling as as our bodies join.

The words just pour out. "Ohhh, I'm feeling your lips open. The head of my cock is almost in and I feel your lips parting to admit it. I feel your lips closing around my shaft, adjusting to my shape. We've got to stop for a minute again. You've got me so excited. This feels so good. Now we can start again.

"Ohhh you're so tight inside, so smooth and warm and moist. I feel you surrounding every part of my cock. It's like being wrapped in satin. It's so good, so wonderful. I wish I could keep going deeper and deeper forever. Words can't describe how nice this is. I love being inside you, enjoying the feeling of you around me. It's so peaceful and calming, such a good feeling."

"Oh Victor.....I can't describe the feeling of having you inside me. It is exactly what I wanted and needed during my last massage, right after you gave me such a beautiful orgasm.

"The feeling of being filled up by your cock is so amazing. But to feel this connection with you this way is something beyond just physical. It's as if you are touching so many hidden places inside me, places that I've not let anyone near for a very long time.

"I want to pull you inside me deeper and deeper and never let you go"

The type of pad we're sitting on makes it easy for us to slide back and forth. So we keep slowly sliding almost apart and then completely back together, re-experiencing the sensations. When our arousal brings us to the brink of cumming we pause to avoid the orgasms that would end our celebration. And then we resume. We remain like this for quite some time, separating, rejoining, hugging, and enjoying this special closeness.

It seems so completely natural to sit intertwined like this, as if we've been doing it forever. We talk, and we caress each other, fondling everything within reach. "I think I'll never tire of how this feels with you." We both look down and watch as we slowly slide back and forth.

Our conversation starts to move from everyday things to what we have to talk about to get to know each other better. As we begin to share who we are, and begin to learn about each other, our intercourse fades from our attention until we are no longer joined. And so we remain intertwined but unjoined, captivated about what we're finding out about each other.

We bring our faces close to kiss. But then I stop. "Nina do you realize that this will be the first kiss we will actually share? I've kissed parts of your body during massages, but that's it. We just have to make our first shared kiss something extra special to remember about this day."

Suddenly memories of Nina's sensual massage come to mind. My recollections of watching her arousal, her orgasms, and her wanting my cock arouse me once again and make me hard. "Yes Victor, let's be together during our first kiss." And with tender anticipation we resume our physical intimacy. "It's just so incredibly beautiful making gentle love like this."

My hands reach out to touch Nina's face. I look into her eyes, "I never thought that it would mean so much to me to give you pleasure. In my studio when I saw you so relaxed and fulfilled it moved me beyond understanding. I always want to keep finding new and better ways of bringing you pleasure." We slowly slide back and forth, in and out of each other, arousing ourselves close to the brink of orgasm but careful to not go over.

I kiss her forehead, the tip of her nose, and then her eyes as she closes them. We touch noses, and then our lips touch, first lightly, then exploring, and then with more intensity. Her lips are warm, moist, soft, sensuous. I wrap my arms around her more tightly, trying to pull her entire body into me. I want us to be completely joined, not just our loins. My tongue reaches into her mouth and touches hers. Together they dance, teasing each other, while pushing, pressing, rubbing everywhere within reach.

Suddenly I feel a special kind of warmth rush through my entire body. It's not an orgasm, but something else, pure, beautiful, a sense of ecstatic joy and completeness. It seems to flow back and forth between us, drawing us closer. We slowly complete our kiss and look with wonder into each other's eyes. "Nina, did you feel that?" "I was going to ask you the same thing!" We sit there in silence, still joined, not knowing what to say, but knowing this truly was a special moment, the absolute high point of our celebration.




Autumn Clematis Ch. 04



Part 16

Nina realizes that in a little while she'll have to leave for work. "Victor, this was such a wonderful way to start being lovers. Regardless of what we finally decide I'll always remember this day as one of the most beautiful I've ever experienced.

"When you pleasured me with that incredible sensual massage in your studio I was absolutely blown away by the intensity of what I experienced. You gave me the most wonderful orgasms I've ever enjoyed. And I so enjoyed having you watch me while they washed over me. You've seen, touched, and pleasured my most intimate parts and I'm so happy that it pleases you.

"But then near the end I kind of lost control and said I wanted your cock in me even though I knew there wasn't going to be any sex. What did you think about that?"

"Nina, I was thrilled to hear it because you were expressing your feelings for me; it came from within you. It gave me more confidence about asking you to be my lover. And I would have gladly granted your wish right then and there except that I had promised no sex."

"Victor, if that's the case then I want you to finish that sensual massage right now. I want to feel your hard cock cum inside me. I want to experience all I can about you as you climax. Just enjoy my body. Tell me what you want me to do to make it best for you. Don't give a thought about my pleasure; you've already given me so much without asking any in return. Right now my pleasure will be in watching, learning, and experiencing how you cum."

"Oh, that's such a wonderful surprise gift of yourself. It makes this day even more special. We can just stay in this position. And I'll show you what you can do to please me.

"I really like to have my cock touched a certain way. I slowly pull out of Nina and demonstrate how I like to have a hand gently wrapped around my erect cock. "Now use your hand Nina," I say and gasp in pleasure as her hand replaces mine. And then I help her figure out exactly how much pressure I like, and then how to just barely move her hand. "That feels so good. You've got it just right. You can do this to me anytime. Although it's arousing I'll never cum from being held like this. It's a very comforting and loving feeling."

"Now let me show you how I like to be touched for real arousal." I show her how to gently grasp my cock between her thumb and two fingers and slowly tease and tap and stroke me. And I show her how I like it sometimes on the top and bottom of my cock, sometimes on its sides.

Nina is a fast and eager learner. "Oh you're doing that just right. It feels fantastic. If you kept doing that I'd cum in your hand. But now I need to be inside you again." And she guides my cock back into her moist warmth.

I draw Nina close for another hug, and delight in the feeling of her body against mine. She then leans back a bit against the chair but remains ready to touch my cock when I want it. "Nina, I was still hard inside you, enjoying your wetness and warmth, but when you told me what you wanted it made me even harder and more aroused. And now I almost feel like I'm going to explode."

I slowly slide back and forth, in and out of Nina who is looking at me with a loving and curious expression on her face. I look into her eyes. "Your warmth and tightness feel so good. It feels so fantastic to slide in and out of you. Now touch me while I'm out of you. Oh yes, fantastic.

"The feeling of your lips sliding along my shaft is unbelievable. Can you squeeze my cock while I'm inside you? Ohhhh yes, that's awesome.

"I'm enjoying this so much. Oh God, you feel so wonderful. Touch me again. When I'm inside you my cock feels like you're rubbing it with hot oil. It's so nice! It's just indescribable and so intense.

"Oh, it's good. I want to feel this over and over and over. Touch me again. You feel so nice around my cock! Ohhhh, I'm starting to get to that point. Just a few more strokes. Oh God! Touch me again.

"Oh, I'm almost there. Don't touch me again. Yes, Yes. I feel like every nerve in my body is firing. Ohhhhh yes, I'm cumming. It feels so good. So very good, so wonderful. It's so peaceful and beautiful cumming inside you. Thank you for this wonderful gift of yourself. It means so very much to me."

Nina reaches out, gathers me close in her arms, and with tears of joy looks directly into my eyes. "You looked so beautiful when you came. And I felt your cock getting extra hard and warm inside me. What a wonderful smile of happiness and contentment is on your face! I'll always remember it. Right now you seem so relaxed and happy. And I'm so happy you showed me a couple of ways to please you. And I feel complete too, so completely comfortable and one with you."

We continue hugging for a few minutes, kiss again, and then reluctantly draw our celebration to a close.

I watch the delightful view of Nina's backside as she hurries inside to take a quick shower. When she gets out of the shower I'm there, still naked, to help her dry off. And after a hug and a quick but passionate kiss I watch her get dressed, (oh how I hate seeing her charms disappear) putting on her work clothes, getting ready to leave. I remind her that we have a session scheduled just a couple of days later, and that I'll call her before then.

After she's gone I think back about all that's happened this morning, all the things we just did for the first time together. Today was the first time we enjoyed feeling our naked bodies together. It was the first time we experienced the joy of joining, and we started exploring our committment to each other. As we kissed for the first time something wonderful happened that can't be explained. And Nina gave herself to me without reservation.

Leaving Victor's country place, now bathed in daylight, I was able to appreciate the beauty of the surroundings that I couldn't see on my pre-dawn drive to meet him. Even if it had been light out I might well have missed things, given my nervousness and anticipation about what was about to happen. Now that I have begun to discover more about Victor, it does not surprise me in the least that he has chosen to live in such a beautiful area, surrounded by the wonders of nature. Victor's attention to detail regarding all things sensual is surely what drew me to him in the first place, even though I might not have realized it at the time.

Now that he has shared this side of himself more openly, I understand my reaction to him more clearly. Everything we shared today, both the physical and emotional discoveries of one another has caused tremendous joy in my heart.

A smile is upon my lips that won't fade for quite some time. I can't be sure where today's beginning will take us, but I do know that I can hardly wait to continue our exploration.

Part 17

I call Nina very early in the morning of her scheduled session and tell her to come to my place instead of the studio. She seems a little surprised but doesn't object. She agrees to get her work done early so we'll be under no particular time constraint, and tells me she'll be there late morning.

The Indian Summer day has dawned sunny, warm, and dry, perfect weather for what I have in mind, and for what I am quite sure she'll enjoy, especially in light of what transpired last time. After doing the daily chores that come with owning the house I finish preparations for receiving Nina.

She drives up shortly afterwards, even earlier than expected. I hug her and give her a quick peck on her forehead.

"That's no way to greet the woman you've just taken as a lover," she says as she grabs me and plants a hot passionate kiss on my lips. "There'll be no more of those chaste kisses from you Mister Victor Hanson, or I'll be finding myself a new masseur!

"And just what kind of massage are you planning for me today anyway?"

I ignore her question and instead point out the path to take, down the hill, leading to the small copse of trees. "Oh, that's what I saw from your deck the other morning. I thought the massage would be at your house, maybe even on the deck." As she walks with me I talk a bit about the previous owner of my place. "The farmer couldn't keep the place up and he had to sell. I'm still cleaning up the place, getting rid of old farm machinery and trash that's all over the place. I've decided to let nature reclaim most of it. But I'm definitely going to keep the old foundation where we're going now."

As we get closer to the copse Nina notices the scent of autumn clematis. "You must have it all over the place," she says. When we finally reach the copse and walk around behind it Nina stops dead in her tracks, completely surprised.

"Victor, isn't there a picture of this in your studio?"

"Exactly right."

There is the stone wall from the picture. And now it's clear that the green vine in the picture is really the autumn clematis now covered with fragrant white blossoms.

And there's the large four-poster bed. Boldly colored streamers hanging from the long bedposts shimmer in the gentle breeze creating an air of festive celebration. The bed is covered with a fitted sheet printed with red, yellow, pink, blue and green blossoms creating the illusion of a field of flowers. The large pillows are covered with prints of colorful birds and butterflies and vines and purple irises. Soft rays of sunshine filter through the trees on the entire scene.

Nina laughs, "Victor, I should have realized. You're not going to give me a massage today are you."

"If that's what you really want then I will. But I think it's such a beautiful day that we should enjoy it by making love out here in the sun amidst these gorgeous autumn colors."

"That's a wonderful idea. It was so sweet of you to surprise me this way."

"I kind of figured you'd like the idea. I'm so looking forward to making proper love with you. Today we have lots of time to enjoy each other and find new ways of pleasing each other. I'm looking forward to feeling our bodies together, to touching you, caressing you, kissing you, licking you, tasting you, finding out more of what you enjoy. And I'm looking forward to knowing what it's like when you cum with us together."

Off to the side is a large maple tree glowing in the peak of its autumn glory. Its red and yellow leaves shimmer in the sunlight as it casts a kaleidoscope of colors over us. The beauty of this short-lived autumn blessing moves my soul to feel a special tenderness and passion towards Nina.

There's also another wall that wasn't in the picture. Nina recognizes two of the pictures on it as being by Georgia O'Keefe, similar to those in the studio. But there are some quite erotic pieces of art that draw her immediate attention.

The central piece is a large picture of a young couple enjoying sexual intercourse. They are in the same sitting position in which Nina and I consummated our relationship. From the expressions on their faces they are in the midst of cumming together. Nina stares at it a minute, starts to say something, but then stops and gets a smile of delight on her face.

There is also an extremely explicit Japanese Shunga painting of a man and woman reciprocating oral sex. There are also some reproductions of erotic temple art from India, and illustrations from the Kama Sutra. And finally there are some pictures of temple art from Nepal.

"Did you do all this for us Victor?"

"Yes, I did it just for you and me. I first set this up many weeks ago, shortly before the air-conditioning broke, so that I could take the picture that's hanging in my studio. And then I took it all apart and put it away until today.

"Back then I could only hope that we would make love here sometime. And then I enjoyed seeing your beautiful body for the first time during that nude massage. And all during the massage I kept gazing at the picture, thinking what it would be like to be here with you. And then during that sensual massage I again kept looking at the picture, slightly more hopeful that I'd be able to bring you here. And then when you agreed to be my lover I knew that my heart had led me to do the right thing, to make this special setting for us, to make it as beautiful and comfortable as possible for us.

"But you've got to let me show you how I did this. I'm kind of proud of it. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to figure this out.

"I really wanted a nice bed for us. But there was no way that I could manage to handle a bed all by myself. So I found these chaise lounges that can lie flat. Look here under the sheet. I bought two of them. See how I clamped them side by side to make a single big platform? The pads that came with the chaise lounges weren't quite enough to make everything comfortable. So I managed to find some large sheets of foam just the right size to put over everything. And then I just lucked out that everything was the right size for a fitted sheet.

"I wanted to put a canopy over this but I couldn't figure out how to do that. So I decided streamers would have to do. And I was lucky enough to find some interlocking pieces of tubing that worked perfectly for the posts, except that they were ugly and so I had to spray paint them.

"And then I realized I had no idea how to make them stand up. Finally I ended up building supports and attaching them to the corners of the chaise lounges.

"But the good part is that after all that initial work and effort it really takes only about twenty minutes to take it all apart or put it back together. But I really enjoyed setting it up this way for us and I want everything to be just perfect for us today."

"Victor, I'm very impressed and flattered. Making love on that bed is going to mean so much more than if you'd just gone and bought one. And I had no idea that you've had feelings for me for so long. I'd been fantasizing about you for quite some time too. And until you said you hoped we could be lovers I wasn't at all sure how you felt."

For a moment we have nothing to say and we just stand looking at each other, holding hands, gazing into each other's eyes.

"Nina, right now I'd just like to sit with you here for a while and talk about our first lovemaking. I never want to forget how wonderful that was, and talking about it will help keep it fresh in our minds."

"I want to do that too. There are so many wonderful things that happened that I want to talk about. And I too want to keep it all fresh in my mind.

"But first things first Victor! It's so nice and warm and sunny right here, and the colors are so beautiful. I've just got to be naked and enjoy the sun and the gentle breeze on my body while we talk. And if I'm going to be naked you better be too!"

"I swear I'm going to write a thank-you note to the air-conditioning company. It will be the strangest one they've ever gotten, I'm sure. Never in my wildest would I have dreamt of such a radical transformation on your part. What manner of woman are you?"

With obvious pleasure we watch each other undressing. "Nina, when I see you undress it's like unwrapping a Christmas present. And even though it's always the same present I love seeing it being unwrapped." And then we hug. "I just love the feeling of your body against mine." In no time at all I have an erection.

Nearby is a bench looking out across a field towards distant trees. As we walk to it with an arm around her I delight in the feeling of one of her breasts brushing against me. We sit next to each other, embrace and kiss, and talk about our first lovemaking as we look out over the landscape. The sun shines on us, warms us, and then the gentle breeze refreshes us. She reaches over and holds and fondles my erect cock the way I showed her the other day. "That feels really nice. I love being touched and held that way."

One of my arms is around her shoulder and my hand idly strokes her breast and fondles her erect nipple. "Ummm, and I like you touching me that way too.

"Victor, that was such a wonderful day. At first I thought that position we used was a bit strange, but you were right, it really helped us be more intimate and open."

"And since we really don't know all the intimate details of how to best pleasure each other, limiting ourselves to just a few things helped make everything go perfectly the first time.

"I was just blown away by how wonderful it felt being inside you. And I'll never forget how fantastic it felt feeling your body accept me."

"I think there are two especially wonderful things I'll never forget. You giving yourself to me, wanting to experience me cumming, was totally unexpected and wonderful. But the absolute high point for me, and I think really for us, was what happened during our first kiss. I've been thinking about it ever since; it was like our very souls touched each other. I think it can only mean something good for our relationship. It felt so wonderful; I hope the same thing happens to us again."

"So Nina, I think we'll find out a lot more about each other today as we make unrushed and undisturbed love here. I'm looking forward to whatever we discover about each other today.

"But we're going to be here a while, so let me show you the rest of what's available for our comfort.

"Over there is a cooler with some drinks and light snacks. We'll probably need something like that during the several hours we're here today. I brought it down here earlier.

"And there's an electric line that I've run down here. Right now it's not being used. But I'll be putting up lights so we can spend some nights here next summer making love under the stars. Of course I'll also have to put up some screening to keep out the bugs before that's possible.

"Back around behind the wall here is a shed where I can keep the bed and pillows and artwork. Whenever we decide to spend time here I won't have to carry the stuff up and down the hill. Like I said before, it really only takes about twenty minutes to set everything up."

"If you go about fifty feet further along the path and around the bend you'll find an outhouse, a two-holer. And we don't have to use leaves; I've put in a supply of tissue.

"And finally, check out this solar-heated shower, completely open to the landscape. It uses rain water collected during the season."

"Oh I just love outdoor showers," she says excitedly. When I was in college, I did my social work practicum in Wyoming, a small town at the foot of the Bighorns. I began seeing a local guy, who knew all the ins and outs of the campsites, and was bound and determined to turn me, a city girl, into a wilderness chick. I'd never been camping in my life, except Girl Scout camping, which isn't really camping. My idea of roughing it was only having one plugin for hair equipment instead of two in a motel room. He eventually convinced me that I was beautiful without makeup, could wear my hair in braids or a ponytail for at least a weekend, and so on. But the one thing I couldn't give up was my daily shower. The campsites we went to were completely rustic, no facilities at all, but he knew one by a stream and he somehow rigged up some gravity flow something or other so I could at least rinse off in the freezing cold water. I'm sure you can guess what we did to warm me back up. I got to where I looked forward to those weekend mountain showers."

I look at Nina, "You're an absolute delight. You're so full of life!"

"Come on Victor, we're already naked so we just have to shower together!"

We hug under the shower, the water having been warmed to just the right temperature by the sun. The feeling of Nina's body against mine renews my erection. And I start soaping her up, starting on her back and buttocks. Then I turn her around and take extra care lathering up her front.

When I start to clean between her legs I notice that something's different. It takes me only a second to realize that she's shaved her pussy. Although it was trimmed before, now she's trimmed it almost completely, so that all that's left is a small tuft just above her clitoris. "Do you like the new look Victor?"




Autumn Clematis Ch. 04



"What a delightful surprise! I really like the new look. And I promise to get right up close and personal and get to know it a whole lot better today."

"Oh, I kind of like that promise and I'm going to hold you to it!"

Nina lathers me up and then rinses me off. As she squats in front of me to better rinse my genitals she takes my cock in her hand, kisses it, takes it into her mouth, and then explores it with her tongue. "Yup, I got all the soap off," she jokes.

After drying off we stand there nude, enjoying just looking at each other, and also the complete peace we feel being alone together. The colors from the maple tree wash over us, turning us into an erotic Renoir-like scene. The intense bright red leaves of a clump of burning-bushes intensify the sensuality. Chickadees flit back and forth voicing their calls over and over, probably annoyed by our presence.

"I think today is a perfect day to enjoy each other," I tell Nina as we walk hand in hand to the bed, embrace, and make ourselves comfortable close to each other.

Final Comments

Our story ends here. It's been years since we've made any changes to it; although we remain friends it's unlikely that there will be any additional chapters.

There is one more story of us that was previously published on Literotica. Look for "Unwrapping Nina".
