  Hi Nate, my name is Annie and I liked your response to my ad. I like that you can dance as that’s a huge plus with me. I’ve never been rock climbing – that seems pretty hardcore. I hike pretty frequently although I don’t know if I’d like rock climbing, but I think I’d like to climb you. ;) It’s good that you’re oral as I’m pretty oral myself. Are you vocal at all? I don’t mean corny porn star noises, but I definitely like to hear the kind of reaction I can bring out of a guy as I’m running my tongue down his abs and across his hip bone before I take him in my mouth.

  And I like a man who knows what he wants…especially in bed. I love doggy because of the deep penetration, but also because it makes it easy for me to slam my pussy back around your cock as you thrust into me. I know it’s the motion of the ocean that’s most important, but I hope you’ve got decent equipment to work with as well. ;) Although I love being sexual, I also like a good friendship with the guy I’m with and enjoy hanging out before and after. I’m not just looking for a simple wham, bam, thank you ma’am. Still interested?

  After attaching a few recent pictures, Annie sent the email and then immediately regretted it. What the hell was she doing? Could she really go through with this and meet up with some random guy? She wasn’t sure, but she reminded herself that she wasn’t obligated to do anything. She would just wait and see what happened. Maybe he wouldn’t even respond.

  Idly, she let her thoughts drift and found herself thinking about Gabe. She wondered if he was busy going to pre-natal care appointments with Genevieve, shopping for baby supplies and transforming one of his spare bedrooms into a nursery. Annie thought about how things could have been if he had met her first. She was already feeling foolish for letting him fuck her without a condom. What if she had gotten pregnant herself? What a mess that would have been.

  Sighing, she leaned forward to check her inbox for new messages and saw that Nate had written her back. Nervously, she opened the email and then laughed at herself. She was acting like he could see her while she read his email.

  Yes, I am still very much interested. I agree – I want a friendship with benefits. The friendship part is just as important as anything else. All of what you said sounds just amazing. It was a mistake to read your email while I’m at work, though, because I got rock hard! Luckily, no one saw. Yes, I am vocal for a guy – not stupid loud moaning like in porn, but I definitely make noise and let you know how amazing it feels. And I have decent equipment to work with; I'm not huge, but I'm also not small. I would say I’m above average, but you’ll have to check it out in person and form your own opinion. :)

  We should go rock climbing so you can see if you like it. If not, we can try hiking next time. There's a surprising amount of good hiking in LA. I look forward to hearing from you soon :)

  There wasn’t much she didn’t like about this guy so far, but if she knew guys, you had to play a little hard to get to keep them interested. She had to let him know that he might have a little competition for her attention.

  So Nate, you seem pretty cool, but I have to admit that I'm chatting with a few different guys and I'm not sure about who I want to meet up with, yet. I may like to have a good time, but I'm not a complete ho. I'm not about to sleep with half the guys in LA, know what I mean? I hope to make my decision soon, though.

  Sorry for causing you any...discomfort while you were at work. ;) It wasn't my intention, although I have to admit knowing that definitely made me smile. What do you do to pay the bills? I work for a law firm doing mainly administrative stuff. And as you can see from one of my pics, I do a little bit of modeling on the side. It's not my dream job, but if a gig comes my way from time to time, I don't turn it down. I'm not really sure what I want to be "when I grow up", yet. I'm enjoying life and figuring myself out as I go.

  In bed (or in other places), I am definitely not quiet about how a guy makes me feel...I mean, when something feels that good, how can you be quiet? So where's the most public place you've ever had sex or the closest you've ever come to being caught? :) I fucked an ex in the doorway of his truck in the LAX parking lot once, lol. I was wearing a dress, and yeah, some people walked by us, but we just looked like we were making out.

  I go to several different hiking spots in LA, but Temescal Canyon is probably my favorite. I'll think about the rock climbing...maybe after I climb you. ;)

  Annie quickly skimmed through her email before nodding to herself with a satisfied smirk and hit send. This was the first time she had really let herself just say whatever came to her mind and she was really enjoying the flirtatious banter. It was a liberating feeling to be able to just let go and completely be herself and have someone be attracted to that.

  Annie, I know you're not a complete ho. Honestly, if you were, I wouldn't be talking to you. The reason I responded to your ad was because I was looking for a friend with benefits. I am aware you are looking for just one guy as I am looking for just one girl. If you were the sleep around type, which you aren't, then I wouldn't be interested.

  Haha, it's okay. I was able to conceal it and I wasn't around anyone at that exact moment, thankfully. I'm glad it made you smile. I know that won't be the only time you make me hard in a public place, but once we meet, I can take you somewhere secluded and bend you over. ;)

  To pay the bills, I am a mentor at a rehab facility for young men ages 18-24 who are trying to get clean from drug/alcohol addiction. It's a hard, emotionally draining job, but it's worth it. If I can help just one of them, then it's all worth it. :) Your job sounds cool, too, and yes, I see that you model a bit. You definitely have the body and the face for it. You are honestly positively dazzling…just staggeringly beautiful, and I'm not just saying that to flatter you.

  I completely agree, how can you be quiet and why would you want to be quiet about it? That is just ridiculous – you should be happy and proud about it. The most public place I have had sex was in a dressing-room in a smallish store. I took an ex in there while we were shopping for clothes; she was also wearing a dress (like you in the LAX parking lot). We just shut the door and I bent her over in front of the mirror, pulled her thong to the side and took her, lol. We tried to be quiet, but I am pretty positive that everyone there knew what happened, considering the looks we got when we left. I don't know about you, but I LOVE public sex. I think it's so hot and sexy to just have a quickie in a public place.

  I haven't done nearly as much hiking as I would like to. And I haven't been in LA all that long, so I don't know the best spots, yet. But I have heard the hike to the Hollywood sign is a great one and I have really wanted to do that. Maybe we should do that and then if you want to try climbing later you can. :) But the climb I want you to do the most is the one on top of my cock. ;)

  Here's something that I LOVE to do. I have done this numerous times. I would love to walk around with you in a department store, like Nordstrom or Macy's. When we're off in a more secluded part of the store, but still within sight of people, we would wander behind a rack of clothes that covers us up to your chest or so, and I would slide my hand up your dress, pull your thong to the side and slide two fingers inside your pussy. You would gasp and grip the clothes in front of you and I would continue to do this for a minute or so and then pull my fingers out, lick them clean and then walk away, leaving you wet and wanting. And then maybe a little later, I would sneak us into one of the dressing rooms and finish you off with my tongu
e or my cock.

  She was having a hard time picking her jaw off the floor as she re-read his email twice more before sitting back against the couch to let it all soak in. Admittedly, he was getting to her and she was about two minutes away from giving him her address and asking him to come over, even though she knew that was probably a terrible idea.

  He seemed to be a little too good to be true: a nice guy who had a very commendable job and loved helping people, yet he apparently also had a very naughty streak, didn’t take himself too seriously and liked to have fun. Annie couldn’t have hoped to find a better mix. Emailing cute guys and receiving emails back from them was turning out to be quite the serious addiction.

  Oh wow, that's a very intense and worthwhile thing you happen to do a living. Thanks for the compliment and obviously I think you're pretty cute as well or I wouldn't have responded. ;) Not to be shallow, but you and I both know there has to be chemistry. Anyhow, it sounds like you've had some pretty interesting experiences yourself. I've never been with a guy who likes to go shopping, but something tells me you wouldn't mind me dragging you along, lol. I've also had sex in a restaurant parking lot in broad daylight, a hot tub (no one was around, but it was in an apartment complex in the middle of the night), and once in a pool at my ex's parents' house and his mom waved at us from the upstairs bathroom window, but she didn't know what we were doing!

  What made you decide to move to LA and where did you move here from? I'm native to SoCal — don't think I'd ever want to leave here unless it was to move to somewhere like Hawaii. We could definitely hike by the Hollywood sign...I'd be down for that sometime. So if I were sitting in front of you right now, what would you do?

  Feeling a little nervous, Annie got up to walk to the kitchen and pour herself a glass of wine. Flirting over email was fun, but she hated how anxious she became as she waited for his next response.

  So far he had not disappointed her and was pretty quick with his replies. She tapped her fingers impatiently on the desk and kept hitting the refresh button on her page, waiting for another email to arrive in her inbox.

  Flipping on the TV, she checked her saved recordings and selected an episode of Grey’s Anatomy to watch while she waited for him to reply. It was hard to believe it was still running and going strong. While it wasn’t quite the same show as when it had first started airing, she was too emotionally invested in the show to stop watching it. Plus, it still kept her attention and she always looked forward to every episode. Even Private Practice, a spin-off of Grey’s, was in its last season, yet Grey’s still survived. Finally, another email appeared and she clicked to open it, eagerly eating up his words like they were candy.

  Lol thanks, yeah I really like it. It leaves me exhausted after work, but it's worth it. :) Thank you for the compliment as well. And it's not shallow at all to say that. People have to have chemistry — that is a fact. It doesn't make you shallow if you just don't have a spark with someone. So far, I feel pretty great about you. :) Yeah, I have a lot of stories. They’re not all good, but all entertaining. I'm sure you have a bunch as well.

  Haha, I actually don't enjoy shopping too much…maybe slightly more than your average guy, but not much more. But you're right, I wouldn’t mind getting dragged along once in a while so I could tell you what I think looks good or maybe I could convince you to try on some lingerie for me. ;) I have also had sex in a parking lot in broad daylight and in a few bathrooms, while on a hike (we sneaked off the trail about fifteen feet into the foliage and had sex out in the open and were almost seen by a whole bunch of people and families going by), and I had the exact same thing happen to me when I was having sex in a pool at an ex's. Her mom waved to us from upstairs while my ex was in my arms with her legs around me. To her mom, it looked like we were just hugging and talking, but I was inside her. I’ve never done it in a hot tub, but I have also done it in an abandoned classroom. Well, we didn't have sex, but I went down on her.

  I moved to LA a year and a half ago. I am from Norcal – Sacramento, to be exact. And I moved here because I’ll be going to school here at CSUN to become a sign language interpreter. Sign is my other passion aside from art. Yeah, I don't have interest in leaving Socal.

  Honestly, if you were right in front of me, I would probably have a conversation with you and get to know you some more. It’s not a very sexy answer, but getting to know you will be almost as good as getting inside you, and I would like to do it first. If the conversation turned naughty, then you would be put on your hands and knees and fucked till you screamed, but if it didn't come to that right away, that's cool, too. So let me flip that question back to you. What would YOU do if I were in front of you right now?

  Annie hadn’t expected him to turn that question back around to her and she blushed furiously as she thought about all of the things she’d like to do to him right now if he was in front of her. He had given a good guy answer though and she was all of a sudden feeling too shy to be completely honest, so she figured she’d give him a good girl response in return...well, mostly good anyway.

  Wow, sex on a hike, huh? All of a sudden, I really want to go hiking, lol. I've done it in a bathroom once at a house party, but never in like a public bathroom. That's kind of a fantasy of mine. What's something you've never done that you'd like to do? Ha, that's funny that the same thing happened to you with the mom and pool thing. Yeah, same with us — looked like we were just hugging, but my thong was pushed to the side and he was inside me. So hot to be caught or nearly caught. :)

  So you sound like a pretty deep guy. My uncle is an ASL interpreter, so he taught me my ABCs in sign language when I was a kid, but that's about all I know how to do except for "I love you". I like that you're interested in getting to know me first. It shows some integrity, which I have to admit is pretty sexy in and of itself. It's nice to feel safe with someone when you're being intimate, like you can trust them implicitly.

  If you were in front of me right now, I would give you a big kiss just for being kind of awesome. A sexy good guy...don't find a lot of guys like you out here. So I agree...it'd be nice to get to know you first and honestly, anticipation is half the fun. I'm enjoying our little exchange of emails. I can see us falling asleep talking all night...and then maybe in the morning, you'd wake up to an oral surprise...

  Draining the rest of her wine, Annie got up to take her glass to the sink and rinsed it out. Glancing at the clock she sighed. It was already starting to get late and she still had a load of laundry she needed to do. She headed to the bathroom and piled dirty clothes into her collapsible basket, then grabbed the detergent and a plastic Ziploc full of quarters from the hallway closet.

  Thankfully, the laundry room was only a short walk from her apartment door, conveniently situated at the back of the complex. Loading the washer, she added a cup of detergent and dropped the quarters into the coin slot, then started the machine. She had half an hour before she’d have to be back to switch the wet clothes to the dryer.

  She walked back to her apartment, hoping another email from Nate would already be waiting for her. What was she going to do if he just stopped emailing her? She couldn’t believe how badly she wanted to hear from him again after they had only exchanged a few emails.

  Dropping the bag of quarters on the coffee table and setting the detergent and laundry basket on the ground, she reached over to her laptop to refresh her inbox. There was another email from him waiting for her and she grinned as she started to read it.

  Yeah, it was pretty exciting. For one thing, it was just beautiful and nice to have the fresh air and the breeze, and then it just exciting because we could have been caught at any time really. We just ran off, got behind some bushes, I pushed my cock down her throat (she was into the rough stuff) and then to my (and your) favorite position. I bent her over, she braced her hands against a tree and I fucked her until I came. A good hike, indeed, lol. We should definitely do a bathroom! They are fun… just naughty and fun.

  Haha, I suppose I am relatively deep. Deep’s the wrong word. I'd just say I am grounded. That's cool, a little sign is always good. And thank you, I'm glad you respect my integrity. It's getting rarer and rarer these days. But it's also good to know that you feel the same way. And you're right: the anticipation is half the fun. I think we will get along just fine. :) And I would like to fall asleep next to you, and I would love, love the oral wake up. ;) It is my favorite way to wake up and such a huge turn on. So have I won the competition over the other guys, yet?

  Staring at the computer screen, Annie bit her lip as her hands paused above the keyboard. Wow, suddenly she saw hiking in a whole new light. Still, she hesitated as she weighed the risk against all the possible days and nights of fun she could have with this guy and with no strings attached. Should she do it? Should she go ahead and make the decision to meet up with Nate?

  Throwing caution to the wind, she started typing her reply. She was only going to live once and she didn’t want to look back and regret that she hadn’t done more in her life.
