She hurries toward him, away from the lavatory, in her yellow, short-sleeved dress. It comes down to half thigh, and is tight enough to embolden her conspicuous curves. It must be abundantly clear to any of the other people at the rest stop that she’s not wearing a bra. Her nipples are like peanuts and the sun’s rays penetrate the thin material with ease.
In spite of all this, his eyes are directed at her red shoes. He doesn’t even look up when she says, “Let’s go!”
The car door slamming shut closes off his view of her feet. He rounds the vehicle and gets in, glancing at the neighbouring footwell as he pulls out onto the motorway. A sign informs the pair of distances to towns with umlauts. The traffic ahead being sparse, he reaches out a hand, laying it on her tanned thigh.
She takes his hand, moving it away, placing it on the gear lever. “Hold your horses,” she says with a little smile.
Frustrated, he speeds up a little, glancing at the footwell, at the eight inch heels, ankle straps and red patent leather. She sits, feeling his frustration, with plans of her own, letting the minutes and the kilometres tick by until they’ve passed the next junction. Then she tilts her seat back before resting her feet on the dash. Without looking at him, she says, “I hope I’m not proving too much of a distraction.”
The traffic’s thicker here. So is his voice. “Nothing I can’t handle.”
What he means is that it’s better this way. He can easily see her red shoes while still keeping his eyes on the road. She shifts slightly in her seat, not having to say a word for him to understand that her excitement is a match for his arousal. It always is.
She chooses the exact moment he overtakes an elephantine articulated lorry to lift her buttocks, pull up her dress and spread her legs slightly.
“Did he see?” he asks, indicating to pull in front of the lorry.
“My shoes? Who could miss them?”
“You know what I mean.”
She doesn’t know if the lorry driver has seen, but a white lie can’t do any harm. “I’m sure of it.” She loves that it excites him when strangers see her. She couldn’t be with him if he didn’t. Crossing her ankles she reminds him of her red shoes, thinking how strange it is that his eyes are more attracted to her footwear than to the naked offering between her thighs.
As he negotiates the traffic she runs fingers over her dress, explicitly attending to the clear and unambiguous outline of her nipples, anticipation bubbling within. When he indicates to change lanes and overtake another grimy lorry, she lets one of her hands descend, giving a quick rub before separating her labia.
He slows, keeping the car level with the lorry in spite of the traffic behind. She glances up. At first the lorry-driver appears focused on the road ahead, but then he looks down, and she can see the shock on his face. Immediately she slides a finger into her hole, the space that’s been growing increasingly moist ever since she felt men grope her with their eyes over breakfast in the hotel restaurant.
