I met Ashley at her home that day. The cool of fall had just descended, taking up residence in our fair city, but I was rather comfortable with the warmth of my cashmere scarf that I had nonchalantly thrown around my neck. It also served as a security blanket of sorts as I fussed with my boots to validate their fresh shine to kill time. 

At first I was shocked as Ashley ambled past me, and strolled into the kitchen as she fussed with her hair. I avoided eye contact and began to fondle my scarf, but her beautiful caramel skin was like a magnet that virtually snatched my brown eyes from the sockets they called home. She wore Christian Louboutin pumps with a Laperla bra and boy shorts that struggled to harness what her momma had blessed her with. You see, this was our first outing since we had met, and she seemed a little free… but don't get me wrong, I’m not complaining. 

As I sat there flipping through the latest issue of The Washington Post, Ashley screamed for me to join her in her room. I took a deep breath and buttoned my double-breasted blazer as I stood and curiously made my way back to her lair.

As I entered her room, Ashley was on her back sprawled out on her queen-sized bed atop a mound of clothes, many of which still had the tags on them. She was in the same state of undress as her eyes followed my every move. Focusing more, she looked up at me over her head speaking softly, ‘I can’t find anything to wear, do you mind if we stay in?’ Suddenly, she rolled over on her stomach resting on her elbows with a look desire in her eyes. I struggled to maintain eye contact as her the lace on her bra kept calling my name. ‘Unbutton your jacket,’ she whispered as she stood and moved towards me. She then slid my jacket from my broad shoulders and tossed it onto her bed. 

Ashley gently took the ends of my scarf as it hung from my neck and without warning, she snatched me close. 'I've never seen a white shirt fit so well,' she moaned as she slowly unbutton my shirt, making it a point to finger each mother-of-pearl button with her long, slender, experienced fingers. She then unbuttoned my pants... that's when she took it-- my white shirt. She then made her way to the full length mirror, the luxurious shirt frolicking in tow as she dragged it seductively across her zebra skin throw rug. I watched longingly her reflection in the mirror as she wrapped herself in the fine Italian cotton.

After her exploits in the mirror, Ashley made her way to the bed and pushed all of the clothes to the floor. She then climbed into the bed and gently tapped the satin sheets, beckoning me to join her. I climbed into the bed beside her. Swallowed in darkness, the room faded to black as she slid the dimmer to zero.

The next morning the golden sun poured into the massive bedrooms windows, illuminating our spooning bodies. We were both still dressed in the same way we climbed into the bed. The first thing I noticed was how good the white shirt looked in the sun's amber glow after a night in the sack.  Ashley rolled over and peeked through her still inviting eyes as the stiff shirt collar kissed her neck.
