"I can see why this is massively popular, and I'm stunned there are so few comments. So, let me add one and say you had me leaning over my laptop, caressing every word. I'm sure you know, if you read women's magazines and online forums, how frequently this sort of thing occurs.
I like how you pulled in Meatloaf's hit song. There's definitely some significance and analogy to be noted. I am curious, given the guy's size, why he was content to recurrently have these meetings in his car as opposed to a hotel or going to his place. Makes me think he had a ring as well. That's an additional complication.
You're looking back thinking you made the wrong decision... not pursuing this guy when you were young. In truth, you don't know that. As good as he was, you might actually have made the right one. Have you ever seen the movie "The Butterfly Effect". If not, have a look. I promise you'll like the protagonist if nothing else. Tall, dark, hot as fuck... speaking of that description.
I'm just saying that things could have happened you never anticipated had you made that jump. Even if you ultimately divorced later, it still could have turned out totally different than you imagine. Still, you have those trysts to look back on and re-visit in your mind. The piece is kind of self-loathing. In reality, you might have made all the right decisions.
You know what the Stones say - "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need."
Really enjoyed this"
I never knew that I loved men who were
Tall, dark & handsome until I met him
He was 6' 3" with skin so smooth
His was the shade of creamy milk chocolate
He moved like a spotted leopard on the prowl
Cautiously, calculating each new step
I used to see him every day at work
Our desks positioned in such a way
That he had a perfect view
Of the black-seamed stockings I would wear
That revealed my young tender thighs
Through the slit in my black pleated skirt that
Would casually fall open, whenever I sat down
I would often wear 4" black patent stiletto heels
To purposely taunt & tease him
Wondering if he felt the same electric sparks
The ones you only read about in the stories
Of those adult magazines
Each night after work I had to go home
B'cuz, I was married at the time and
Bored with only missionary; never oral sex
Night after night it was the same fk'n thing
Tied down by a ring & two little kids
When my heart was crying out to really live
On weekends; I wondered what he was doing
He had a life of freedom that my heart craved
I would often find myself fantasizing about
What it would be like, to have sex with him
Our beautiful bodies grinding together
It was extremely dangerous to think about
B'cuz our thoughts & what we focus on
Becomes our reality; this I know to be true
When our eyes would meet over the boardroom table
No words needed to be spoken b'cuz I could tell
From the look in his eyes; that he felt it too
With that, my infatuation with him grew
We never spoke about our lustful thoughts; however
The conversations we shared in the office often
Included sexually suggestive double entendre’s
That afternoon, one of those slipped from his lips
He asked me if I wanted to meet him after work
That night would be a turning point in my life &
I was willing to take the calculated risk
One that I've never regretted; not even to this day
B'cuz my body was aching to feel him by my side
To break free from the shackles of marriage
He took me to a secluded place where we parked
On a dead-end road with no streetlights
Only the headlights from the vehicles
Heading northbound on the 410
That would sometimes flicker in our direction
The windows quickly steamed up
With tiny droplets of water pooling together
Running down the inside of the windows
Dripping from the heat generated by our
Passionate kisses & our overheated flesh
That night I'll never forget b'cuz
He gently reached down between my legs
To ease the seat back
So that he could easily maneuver his tall frame
To just the right angle & it was there
In the front seat of his silver Nissan Sentra
When he used his mouth to pleasure me orally
Up until that point, I'd never been with a man
Who had ever gone down on me
His lips were magical
So soft, full & eager to please
His tongue was the key that unlocked
My sexuality & Pandora's Box
It was the night I would finally discover
What it felt like to finally let myself go
Remembering the nights, I used to cry myself to sleep
Thinking the 2 minutes of moaning & thrusting
Was all there ever was to sex
But that was before he came into my life
Thankfully, he was different
Every moment we spent together
He took my breathe away
Truth be told; it wasn't the only time
We found ourselves in our secret rendezvous spot
Parking for hours at a time
My ass bump'n up against the steering wheel
It was like paradise by the dashboard light
I only wish I knew then, what I know now
There wouldn't have been any second guessing
Nor would there have been any doubts
A few stolen moments were all that
We were ever able to share b'cuz I had a family &
They needed me there
B'cuz my Mom had just recently passed
Like Lady Godiva on a racehorse
I was gone & it wasn't until 29 years later
When our paths were destined to cross again that
The memories of our secret nights together
Would finally come to light
All the what ifs that have haunted me
Over the years, until that incredible day when
He called out my name
Hoping ...wondering, was it really me?
It was the happiest day of my life
To be reunited and back in touch with him
Live & in the flesh all over again!

Electrifying!

Thanks for sharing this adventure, you sure made it live through your descriptions & a body would be a liar if they tried to say that nothing like this had ever crossed their mind!
