Vivian and I arrive at the party arm in arm. The walls are lined with gold and clear balloons filled with glitter. There are gold streamers and more balloons falling from the ceilings. Vivian heads off in search of her date. I don’t know who I’m searching for, but I can’t help but run my eyes over the crowd in front of me. They stop once they land on a tall, slender man in a black mask at the bar staring back at me as if he is undressing me with his eyes. Eyes that stay on me the whole time as I walk farther into the room. Eyes that never seem to lose me in the crowd. They are filled with curiosity and interest, mixed with desire.
He starts moving my way, and a shiver runs down my spine when a smile reaches his face. Shaken by nerves, my legs start moving up the stairs behind me. I’m not really sure why I’m running away, but there was something about the stranger that sends my heart racing and a surge of pleasure through me. I need to get away to figure out why my body is reacting this way to a complete stranger. I’ve never had anyone look at me that way, and I’m not sure how to respond to it except to run away, because that is apparently what I do now.
I am the only one in a darkened hallway after disappearing from the mysterious man in the black mask. That is, until footsteps slowly approach from behind me, leaving me no longer alone.
I don't have to turn around to know who it is, but I do anyway. The man's silhouette takes shape in the hallway, and even in the dim light, his wicked smile becomes apparent. My breathing increases the closer he gets. His hand reaches toward my face, and my body shakes from fear of him removing my mask. When his fingers brush a bit of my hair behind my ear instead, I sigh in relief and begin melting into his touch.
He smells familiar, but I can’t seem to place his cologne. It is mixed with the smell of mint on his breath that enters my nose and the warm air touches my cheek before he begins whispering in my ear, “You were the most interesting thing out there and then disappeared. I’m just glad I was able to find you, and it appears my luck has increased finding you here alone.”
I try to speak, but my words are caught in my throat, and the way his fingers grazed my skin on the tips of my ears a bit ago has my body reacting in all kinds of ways. The heat from his mouth sends a tingly sensation against my skin. My body is anxious to know where his mouth will move to next. I grow too impatient for him to make the next move, so instead of responding with words, I press my mouth to his and he doesn’t pull away. Instead, he opens his mouth to make room for my tongue to push its way past his lips. His body moves against mine, pinning my back against a nearby wall. His tongue sweeps in deeper, flicking against the roof of my mouth. His kisses are anything but gentle as he nips my bottom lip with his teeth before roughly taking my mouth with his again.
I want him to touch me more—I needed his hands all over my body. I’ve only had a small taste of what he had to offer, and I’m now hungry for more. It’s as if he can read my mind as his hand slowly slips beneath the front of my pants. He smiles against my lips at the realization I’m not wearing underwear. His mouth is back to devouring mine, and I press my cock into his hand in an attempt to gain more friction. His hand slides out of my pants, and I whimper against his lips from disappointment, already missing the warmth of his skin against mine. He laughs and whispers into my ear, “Patience, beautiful.”
His words cut into me like a knife. I have never been called beautiful before, and I certainly never would be if he could see me without my mask. His hands slide up the back of my shirt as my fingers caress the warm skin underneath his shirt, feeling every bulging muscle. It didn’t take long to tug it free from his pants and he didn’t seem to mind. I fumble with the button and zipper of his pants. Unlike me, he is wearing underwear. I push down the front of them, allowing his erection to spring free against my hand. He moans as he pushes his thick, straining cock into my palm. I start off working him nice and slow until I stop for a minute to drop to my knees and quickly replace my hand with my mouth. I slowly swipe my tongue across the bit of precum forming at his tip, teasing his slit. The salty taste of him lands on my tongue; his moans are deep and sensual causing me to take him deeper. I continue bobbing back and forth and letting his cock hit the back of my throat. He moves in perfect motion with me as he slides his dick in and out of my mouth with his fingers tugging my hair.
He gently pulls me up by my arms, and as soon as I’m standing, he presses the front of my body up against the wall. His hands land on each side of my hips, moving to massage the globes of my ass. I unbutton the front of my pants, and before I can fully bring down the zipper, he is already sliding them down my thighs. His fingers slip between my cheeks, slightly grazing my entrance, and I push myself back on him, begging for more. When his hands slip free from me, my body goes slack against the wall in disappointment.
I press my body against the cool wall in anticipation as he fumbles with a wrapper behind me. My body becomes eager again as the sound of him sliding on the condom enters my ears. Another package tears, and wet fingers enter me but this time going deeper, working my entrance open for what’s to come next. This guy really came prepared, and I’m glad because I wasn’t prepared at all to get fucked against a wall in the hallway of some guy’s house I barely know, when I should be downstairs ringing in the new year with my friend. I don’t even know what time it is.
He presses his tip gently against my entrance, and I shudder. A moan escapes my lips as he pushes in further, making his way past my tight ring of muscles. His lips press gentle kisses on my neck as he enters me. "Fuck, you’re so tight baby, so tight and delicious.”
He goes deeper as I motion him to keep going until I am completely full of him. My ass clenches around his dick, and I need him so badly to start moving again before I go insane. I push back into him with force, and he finally gets the message and starts slamming into me fast and hard.
The touch of his lips sends a spark of electricity through my body, leaving me on the verge of erupting from pleasure. He wraps his fingers around my dick, and, with a few jerking motions, I’m spilling over his hand. I feel him relaxing inside me as he is met with his own orgasm, brought on by the feel of mine. His sounds of pleasure in my ear are almost enough to make me hard again. I collapse against the wall, going limp. The sounds of him zipping up his pants comes from behind me and has me sliding my own over my hips in a hurry, suddenly feeling too exposed. I grimace as I pull my shirt over my now cum-covered stomach.
He places a kiss on the side of my head before whispering, “Happy New Year.”
His footsteps hit the floor in the opposite direction he came from in the hall. I pull out my phone, and the time shows that it is indeed midnight. I got way more than that New Year’s kiss I was hoping for. I make a trip to the nearest bathroom. All the doors look the same in this damn place, and my head is still spinning from being overcome with pleasure.
I stumble into a few wrong rooms before I finally walk into the right one. Reliving what happened all over again sends a delicious shiver down my spine. Once cleaned up, I head back to the party. I fix the crooked mask on my face as I make my way downstairs so that it is resting properly against my nose.
My eyes meet with Vivian’s, and her lips turn into a disappointing grin. “Where the hell were you? You missed the countdown! We were supposed to ring in the new year together. You better have been stuck somewhere kissing some super-hot guy.”
I chuckle. “Yeah, um… kissing. That’s what we were doing.”
Her eyes go wide beneath her mask as her mouth gapes open in shock and disbelief. She runs up the first few steps to meet me and pulls me against her while whispering, “Wait, are you saying you hooked up with someone tonight? Like just now?”
I hang my head in shame. “Yeah, turns out your shy and innocent best friend isn’t so shy and innocent after all.”
She shrieks loudly with her eyes beaming. “I have never been prouder! Who was he? Oh my god, you have to tell me everything!”
I shake my head. “I have no idea who he is. He, um… well, we never quite got to that. It was dark, and we both had our masks on the whole time. Wow, I just heard how terrible that sounds.”
She shakes her head, laughing. “Wow, that is actually pretty hot. I thought that kind of stuff only happens in movies or your smutty romance novels.”
“Apparently, it happens in real life—in mine, if you can believe it. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it all. I have no idea who the guy was, but his scent and presence seemed so familiar. I couldn’t place it. It was probably all in my head.”
She links her arm in mine as we walk the rest of the way down the stairs. “Wow, what if it’s someone you see every day? What if it’s that guy from the coffee shop you can’t stand?”
My smile morphs into frown. “Don’t ever say mean things like that to me, you hear?”
Vivian just had to mention Erik, the rude suit-and-tie guy who always barks at me for taking his table or for hogging up the line with my small order. Man, that guy gets under my skin, and it takes a lot to do that. He reminds me so much of my ex Patrick, with his good looks and arrogance, making me hate him more.
She laughs, breaking me from my thoughts. “I’m just saying it could be anyone. It could be your mailman, your local congressman, the barista who hands you your coffee every morning. It could even be that sex-on-a-stick neighbor of yours.”
I’m not going to lie. For a moment, I pretended it was Cole, but I doubt I would be that lucky. Wow, what did I just do with a stranger at a party in someone else’s house? I grab one of the glasses of champagne from a nearby table, quickly gulping down the cool fizzy drink. It doesn’t matter how much I drink away the memory of him tonight. My body will surely remind me in the morning
