“Well, are you going to accept it?” Mary asked eagerly.
“I don’t know. I mean, I want too. I really want too. But I didn’t even look this guy over.” Mary gave her a look that suggested she better do it right now. “Okay, okay. Give me a second.”
Virginia clicked on the second hyperlink in the email that took her to the profile for whoever this Mr. Matty was. Her face scrunched up in disappointment when all she saw as an avatar was a snake drawing. “Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words….” She slid the phone back over to Mary.
“Well, if that isn’t disappointing I don’t know what it is.” Mary didn’t pass the phone back but kept scrolling and reading out loud. “Mr. Matty is the CEO of a company, checked between thirty and forty, has dark hair and eyes.” Her voice trailed off, but her lips kept moving until she found something she liked. “Likes to experiment with leather and lace. Sounds like a do-me kind of guy. I say go for it.”
Virginia took the phone back and looked over the profile for herself. “Even without the photo?” She had to admit, nothing sounded wrong with a man who had money and liked to have fun. Except his photo is a snake and that could say a lot about his personality and why someone like him is even on a site like this.
“Well if the point of the activity is to find the hottest guy in the world, then you’d probably just have to open a magazine. He sounds like a catch. Plus, doesn’t the site guarantee the person is who they say they are?”
“Well, yes.”
“Then go for it. It’s about playing in the cyber world and getting to know someone. Who knows, maybe you won’t hit it off at all, and you can mark it down as experience. I personally find sexting to be the highlight of my day in a boring court case.”
Mary smirked, and Virginia’s jaw dropped.
“You’re not serious?” she asked laughing.
“A lady doesn’t kiss and tell.” They both burst out into laughter. “Seriously though, why take my suggestion for Cyber Room?”
“I wanted to see how a sexual match could be found via a chat room and used to turn into a real relationship.” It was the truth. She left out the part that she was ready to jump into bed the next man she dated, but overall she was intrigued by the concept of using sex to find love.
“So what you’re saying is you want a relationship but want to test drive at least the ideas he’d have in bed?”
She blushed again. “Guilty.”
“Then try it. So he has no picture, the rest sounds like a good place to start. For all you know he could suck at playing in the cyber chat, and you’ll never even care what he looks like. He could even decline you.” Mary added with a wink.
Virginia laughed, and her index finger hovered over accept. She was put off that the man wasn’t sharing himself but if he was a CEO perhaps he didn’t want to be identified. She also couldn’t deny the desire to be with a man who wanted to walk a bit wilder in bed.
As if in answer, her body pulsed at the image of a sexy man in a stylish suit as he tied her down to a bed and dripped candle wax over her bare body. She bit her lip and shivered as desire raced a quick path up her body. Hesitation gone, she dropped her finger onto the screen, and when the confirmation message popped up, she hit yes.
Setting the phone down on the desk she leaned her head and groaned. “Please, please don’t let this be a bad idea.”
