“I’ve never been in an airplane before,” I muttered, stalling.<br />
“I understand that,” he said, steepling his fingers. “But you are doing a fine job of your first time.”<br />
Standing four feet from a complicated instrument panel that the pilot was no longer facing, I<br />
watched dark clouds whip by the nose of the plane through the high narrow windows.<br />
“Are we … safe in here?”<br />
“Very safe,” he said. “Safer than driving. Safer than almost any other activity you can do at<br />
hundreds of miles an hour, high in the air.”<br />
“What if there’s turbulence?” I asked, just as we hit a little bump. I yelped. My arms flew up to<br />
grasp the ceiling.<br />
He took it as a cue to gesture me over to him.<br />
Here we go! I slowly, carefully, closed the gap between us, and over his shoulder got a better view<br />
of the world before me. It was dusk, but light poked through the clouds, illuminating little towns and<br />
villages nestled in the foot of a mountain range. They looked like a strand of jewels dropped from a<br />
great height. It was beautiful, but still I felt gut-punched and queasy. Levers and buttons continued to<br />
move in a ghostly way all around us.<br />
“Turbulence is just air pockets. The plane will ride through it. And I’m right here if anything goes<br />
awry.”<br />
I stood above him now, his head level with my breasts.<br />
“Do you accept the Step?”<br />
Handsome face, kind eyes, great smell, manly hands, but the clincher truly was his beautifully<br />
tailored shirt. Terribly shallow, I know.<br />
“Yes, I accept.”<br />
“Then may I help you off with your knickers?”<br />
I almost laughed out loud at the old-fashioned British word for panties. I was wearing a pencil<br />
skirt and pumps, and a button-up pink angora sweater. The low ponytail completed my ’50shousewife-on-an-errand<br />
look. It couldn’t be helped; planning my outfits always calmed me, and today<br />
I needed to be calm.<br />
“Tell me more about how safe I am,” I begged, as his warm hands gently undid the back of my skirt,<br />
letting it drop to the floor.<br />
“Well, Dauphine,” he said, inching my panties, or “knickers,” down, “takeoff is the hardest part. So<br />
much can go wrong. But we’re well past that now.”<br />
Standing before him, I closed my eyes. I could feel his fingers unbuttoning my sweater, easing it off<br />
my shoulders. Ohh.<br />
“Now the middle part of flight,” he said, leaning forward to nuzzle my soft line of pubic hair,<br />
kissing it. “That’s the easiest … sweetest part of the ride. But still, you never want to get complacent.<br />
Sometimes it’s deceptively easy. You still need to be careful, to watch for subtle signals.”<br />
I stood over him, my legs trembling. He reached back to undo my pink satin bra, slid it forward and<br />
dropped it. Standing there naked, for a second I forgot the plane was flying on its own! It was black<br />
through the window. I wasn’t sure if we were flying over mountains or water, but I closed my eyes. If<br />
I couldn’t see it, it didn’t matter. I placed my hands on the ceiling again, pressing my body forward<br />
into him. He was so at ease, so in command as he gently urged my legs farther apart, reaching up to<br />
pinch and circle my nipples, like I was an instrument panel he knew exactly how to operate.<br />
“How does the autopilot know what it’s doing?” I asked, so deeply aroused by his thumbs now<br />
expertly parting my cleft, I thought my knees would give.
