THE PARTY...CHAPTER 2

...Kate slipped her foot out of one shoe and slid her foot into the chair and covertly sat on it… she watched him from the corner of her eye as he brought his fingers to his upper lip and lightly spread a little glistening streak of her moisture there. He loved doing this, so he could smell her scent when he wanted to. She reached for his hand and kissed those same fingertips just as the waiter leaned over her shoulder and set the first course in front of her…..

Dinner was jovial and the conversation enjoyable. Talk turned to Kate’s opponent, the incumbent, and his weaknesses and fallibilities. This was a very conservative bunch and they were extremely upset with the direction of the government since the last presidential election. Kate’s positions were well known because she had been active in local politics since graduating college, and when she was approached by the state party chairman and asked to consider running, she was thrilled because she had hoped to one day make public service a career. Her only hesitation had been Reid, her fiance. He was older than she with grown children, but they both wanted a big family, and that might be impacted by this decision. It would also mean moving up the wedding date…. So the decision would have to be his, as she had come to defer to his judgment and wisdom.

He could not have been more excited or supportive! An exploratory committee was formed and the endless job of fundraising started almost immediately. The wedding had been moved up and the honeymoon shortened by a few days. Kate had taken a leave of absence from her firm with their total support, and Reid had handed off his company to a ‘CEO pro tem’ so that he could be by Kate’s side. So here they were tonight… with large sums being pledged, along with offers of holding additional events as they could be scheduled.

As Kate sat nibbling her salad, she recalled the whirlwind that was the last six months, and as she looked down, she was aware that her nipples were hard and protruding against the soft fabric of her dress. She grinned and glanced at Reid and knew that he had noticed them too because he winked… then he touched his lip and inhaled, causing her to blush profusely. All of which only made her nipples harder AND made her aware of the dampness now spreading on the foot she was sitting on. She shifted in her chair and that only made matters worse. Leaning over to Reid, she slipped her hand beneath his napkin and caressed him and whispered softly ‘I want you’ and he smiled because he knew how much she did.

Dessert over, the host announced that brandy and coffee would be served in the great room, where a small collection of musicians had been setting up. As the guests rose from the table, Kate quickly slipped her shoe back on and took Reid’s hand to stand. Lagging slightly behind the other, Kate grabbed Reid’s arm and whispered almost urgently ‘I need you, darling…. I cannot wait until we get home. I’m shameless – do you think that’s a good quality for a congresswoman?’  and she laughed, watching his eyes as they dropped to her breasts. Reid looked back up into her eyes and whispered ‘patience, my pet’ and she growled and dug her fingernails into his arm with a smile.

As they entered the great room, the musicians had begun to play and several of the guests were dancing. Reid took Kate possessively in his arms and guided her effortlessly around the dance floor. Smiling into each other’s eyes, the pair held the attention of the others in the room as they moved effortlessly to the music, hips together and feet in perfect step. Reid’s warm hand pressed her bare back and held her close. She squeezed his hand tighter as her other hand gripped his shoulder. He could feel her warm breath on his face and he smiled as he sensed her rising passion, knowing she knew he knew....
