It was one of those eras in ordinary everyday life when women's fashion turns ordinary everyday women into provocative sex objects. Very unfashionable from a social point of view, when we are supposed to not notice gender or beauty or shape or whatever the PC people have decreed. People are people and you're not allowed to comment on physical attributes.
In this case, in the streets of the UK the girls and young women were wearing black leggings: essentially opaque tights that clung to thighs and stomachs and buttocks and pubic mounds, turning the female inside them into a warm, fleshy, dark cotton sculpture. And if that made the women self-conscious, men were not supposed to look... or something. I don't understand.
But I did look. Everyone looked. You couldn't help it. You could see the stretchy fabric diving into crevices. You could tell if she was wearing proper knickers or a thong, or maybe nothing, and it was exciting. You saw exactly how the muscles and the fat in that beautiful central area were laid out. You could almost smell it. And is that crude? Is that unpleasant? Not if the woman sanctions it, even invites it.
And yet, there are many young women who dress like this and don't even expect to be desired. They see themselves as unfanciable, or at least unfancied. Boys never gave them the time of day and now men don't either. They are overweight, forbidding, the female equivalent of the incels who have given up hope of ever having sex - or at least their standards are so low they don't expect attention from any half-decent male.
Leila was like that. She was big, not in the sense of tall or well built, but very overweight. And the way she dressed did nothing to make her look better. Her black leggings were cheap and faded, with marks that looked like chalk on one thigh. Her plain white t-shirt was similarly cheap and similarly overstuffed. She was a human rolling countryside of hills and dales, damp valleys and steamy forests, including that secret swamp at the back between her buttocks.
It was late afternoon in a supermarket and she was buying wine. So was I. She noticed I was looking at her; she felt my gaze, and her facial expression and body language quickly ran from surprised to alarmed before she recovered her composure and moved on to a kind of arrogance as she rationalised the feeling. Now she could see that finally someone had had the insight to understand she was sexy as hell in an unusual configuration. She was gorgeous, as she had always known deep down but had been conditioned not to believe. This man—me—was lusting after her and if he pursued her a little, she would give him the time of his life, just as she would extract from him raunchy, dirty thrills for herself.
She was, as they said, going to fuck his brains out—as long as he asked her nicely.
I could see all this running through her mind—or hoped I could—in the split second when our eyes met.
"Party?" I said, nodding at the bottle of Prosecco in her basket.
"No, just a night in," she replied. "You?"
Oh my god, we both thought, we're going to get together.
"Yes, boring night in. I've got loads of food that needs eating. Would you like to..."
"Mmm. Okay," she said, breaking into an involuntary smile which she quickly suppressed with vigorous nods of her head as if for reassurance. Yes, she was telling herself. I can do this. I'm going to do it. Why not? He's nothing special. Nice enough, but he's not out of my league. No one is, really. Why shouldn't I have some fun for a change?
She arrived at my door an hour later carrying the wine and a large bag of Kettle Chips, some sort of chilli flavour. It was 6pm on a Thursday, hardly a traditional time for a meal and a seduction, but we both knew that was the real menu.
We sat at my little dining table and ate all the stuff that had been in my fridge: stuffed olives, Dutch cheese, a jar of Dorito dip, the hot, spicy tomato one, accompanied by a baguette we had bought together and the crisps. We were not so much having a meal as passing the time before we had been together long enough to make sex a natural progression rather than a hasty waste.
Eventually I looked into her eyes and she got the idea, gazing back into mine while our hands grasped each other before mine reached for her big, unruly breasts. When I did that, she instinctively put her hand on my balls and felt for the outline of an erection. And then she was on her knees at the table while I fumbled with my zip and presented her with my hard, excited cock.
She sucked me greedily and clumsily, but we weren't looking for points being awarded for style. She was grabbing what she deserved but had been denied so often in her life, and I felt her slow down once she had me in her mouth. Don't be so eager, she was telling herself. This is just a beautiful moment that happens to be happening to me and this guy. We could be an actress and a rapper in Hollywood. I'm as sexy as any celebrity and we are going to write a page of sex history right here, right now.
"Stand up," I said firmly, and she struggled to her feet. I wrestled her tights down over the mountains, to be confronted by a tattoo on her right thigh. A large slice of watermelon, with drips of sweet juice running down. I licked up the trail, past the rind and up to her thong. Given all the crowding flesh in that complex physical area, I knew it was going to be difficult to extricate the strings from her anatomy. She took over. She hauled the strand out of her crack and gave it to me as I sat there at the table.
"Smell it," she ordered, so I dutifully put it to my nose and inhaled her naughty aroma. Leila grabbed my hand and dragged me into the bedroom, where she performed an elaborate striptease in which I was treated first to the sight of her magnificently sinful stomach (tattoos of birds and snakes) and her mighty arms (a lion pursuing an antelope and an elephant with its trunk between a zebra's legs). Around her nipples, obscuring the areolas, were crinkly smiling suns. Hers was a happy body, albeit a lonely one, but we were doing something about that. What she thought about me, I didn't know. Just a hungry, uncaring guy, perhaps, whom she was going to loot of his masculinity before escaping into the night with tales to tell and memories to keep her warm until it happened again.
I had undressed and was on my back on the bed when she appeared above me and sat on my face. Her big, bold, roughly shaven crotch was grinding against me, forcing my nose into the busy area of lips and bumps and holes. She dragged her slippery vagina up and down my face, marking her territory. My nose and cheeks became stiff with her natural lubricant.
"You're my toy now," she said calmly, just for my information. "You're going to suck my toes and lick me all over."
"All over?" I asked flippantly.
"Everything," she said. "Everywhere. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Fine with me," I said confidently.
"So suck my toes," she commanded. She was now on her back with one leg in the air. I knelt and took her big toe in my mouth, not sure what she would get out of this. But she certainly got something. She began to writhe and her face went dreamy with extreme pleasure. I stroked down her shin and calf to her knee and then on up the silky highway that led to her crotch. Her quivering thighs spoke volumes and her sullen, conceited crotch stared at me with not so much a promise as the threat of a sexual wrestling that would be coming my way in due course. As I slid my thumb into her hole, it seemed to suck at me, pulling me in.
"I'm going to suck your spunk out of your balls and up my tubes," Leila said in the same slightly sinister tone. "But first, you're going to lick me. Get your face in my crotch."
