view of her firm, rounded figure.
With the two of them in the small, poorly ventilated room, the temperature rose, causing them each to begin sweating, and Jade’s blouse to cling to her, accentuating her sexuality. He could feel himself stir at the sight of her.
Jade, for her part, was enjoying the nearness of Robert, and his masculine scent. She particularly enjoyed their accidental touches, which the cramped conditions forced upon them, and she was particularly aware of the effect it was having upon him. The bulge said it all!
As they progressed, Robert commented upon the photos as they emerged. Telling her what mistakes, if any, she had made, and how they could be corrected.
Jade made sure to lean close to Robert, as he was making his judgements, ensuring that their bodies were in close contact, and enjoying the occasional touch of his arm against her breasts.
Finally, all the photos had been done, and it was simply a matter of allowing them to dry.
Jade watched as Robert placed the unused paper away again in its lightproof folder, and then stored it away, before cleaning up the chemicals, and disposing of the used solutions. She hopped up and sat on the bench, to allow him a little more room to move, and delighted to watch his firm behind as he bent over to store the trays away.
Finished, he turned to her. ‘Well, that’s finished. We can turn the white light on now. The photos are set, and won’t be ruined.’
‘I quite like this light. I’ve become quite used to it.’
She held out her arms for Robert to help her down from the bench.
He moved toward her, placing his hands upon her hips, while Jade placed hers upon his shoulders, as he lifted her down.
Their faces came close together, and Jade leaned in close, kissing him on the lips, her breasts grazing his chest.
Robert placed her down on her feet, but did not remove his hands from her waist.
Emboldened, Jade leant into him again, and raised her face to his.
Robert leaned down slightly, and drew her into him, as their lips met once again. This time, there was no doubt that it was a mutual embrace, which turned into a long passionate kiss, involving tongues, teeth and lips.
Finally parting, with a sigh, Jade looked into Robert’s eyes, and smiled at the look of joy she found there. They came together for another kiss, as deep as the one before, but this time her hands began to wander over his chest and neck, as she sought to draw him into an ever-tightening embrace.
Robert’s hands played over Jade’s back, stroking the muscles of her neck, and moving downward to cup the lobes of her backside, caressing them, and drawing them toward him.
Jade felt the hardness of him pressing into the front of her skirt, and wanted to remove all the clothing that obstructed them.
Robert’s head came down on her shoulder, as he kissed, and sucked, at the sweat on her exposed skin.
‘You smell, and taste, wonderful,’ he sighed, as he slowly released her from his tight embrace. ‘We’d better get out of here before I do something that we’ll both regret.’
Jade looked at Robert, who was trying to regain his composure, and smiled. ‘You’re about to find out that I’m not a virgin. So there’ll be no regrets about anything. Now please take me to your bedroom, and make love to me, or we’ll definitely have done something that we’ll both regret.’
‘Are you sure?’
Jade placed her hand on the bulge in his trousers. ‘I want you ... badly.’
Taking her by the hand, Robert led her to his bedroom, where, with infinite care, he began to undress her, while she took her turn, unbuttoning, and removing his clothes, as well.
Their lovemaking was slowly and tenderly executed, and Jade could feel tears of absolute joy welling up in her eyes, as she neared her climax.
She knew that this was how it had been for her father, and Yee-Ling, as she had watched them, and realised that the sex with Walter had been just that — sex.
With a shudder, she felt Robert reach his climax, and she joined him.
They lay entwined, kissing, and stroking each, as they made plans for Jade to locate, and photograph, the information that Robert needed.
‘Do you think I’ll be able to take the pictures correctly?’
‘You will be using a special high-speed film, so you’ll just need to remember to put the pages under some sort of light source, like a table lamp. Do you know where the documents will be?’
‘They should be in either Doug Green’s office or the cashier’s office at the auction house.’
‘How will you get in to take the photos?’
‘I’ll just go to the office on some pretext, close to closing time, and hide. When everyone is gone, I’ll find the information, photograph it, and let myself out. Then, I’ll come around here, and I’ll help you develop it.’
‘You’re going to help me develop it are you?’
‘I certainly am, and this time I’m going to dress appropriately for the heat in there.’
‘And what would be the appropriate attire?’ asked Robert.
‘As little as possible, and probably nothing,’ smiled Jade.
‘That certainly conjurers up a pretty picture ... I take it that I’m expected to remain fully clothed?’
‘Not likely. I want to be able to see all of you bathed in that red glow in there.’
Robert laughed, and kissed Jade, who returned the kiss with passion.
‘I suppose I’d better get you home,’ said Robert reluctantly.
‘What for? There’s no one to miss me if I don’t go.’
‘What about Rani?’
‘Since she opened the clinic down the street from the Golden Stag, she’s had to spend nearly all her time there. During the day she gets patients from all over the area, and, because the street girls operate at night, she stays open for them. Most nights she’s too tired to make the trip home, and sleeps down there. So, my love, unless you want me out of here to entertain some other woman, I’m here to stay.’
‘Oh dear! It seems I’m destined to completely ruin your fine reputation,’ he said, as he reached down, and caressed an exposed nipple.
‘Yes. You’ll definitely ruin me.’
‘How could I make it up to you?’
‘Well, I suppose you could make an honest woman of me.’
‘Would you really want to be an honest woman?’
‘Only to the right man.’
‘And
