What the Unknown Woman at the Late-Night Cinema Was Hiding

I’d had an impossible week at the agency, the kind that leaves your body worn out and your head buzzing. I didn’t want to go out drinking or lock myself in at home again to stare at the television until I fell asleep on the sofa. I needed a dark, quiet place where nobody asked me for anything.

So I drove to the old downtown movie theater, the one that still screens midnight showings for a handful of stragglers. I bought some popcorn I wasn’t even hungry enough to eat and a huge soda, more out of habit than thirst. The theater was almost empty: I counted six people scattered like islands in the gloom.

I chose a middle row and sank into the seat. At last, I thought. An hour and a half without having to talk to anyone.

Or so I thought.

When the ads were starting, I saw her come in through the side aisle. She walked slowly, unhurried, as if the whole theater belonged to her. She wore a tight thin T-shirt and jeans that traced every curve, and she moved with a confidence that was hard to ignore. She wasn’t just beautiful: she was the kind of woman who makes you forget what you were thinking in the first place.

To my surprise, she came straight toward my row. She passed in front of me, brushing my knees with her legs, and when she met my eyes she smiled in a way that was anything but innocent. She sat two seats to my right.

I tried to play it cool, to keep my eyes on the screen, but every few seconds I was stealing glances at her. She knew it. And she liked that I knew she knew.

The movie started and the theater fell almost completely dark, lit only by the shifting glow of the screen. In the middle of a quiet scene, she leaned toward me and spoke in a very low voice.

—Wouldn’t you rather I sat next to you? Then you can stop twisting your neck to look at me.

I lost my breath. I hadn’t expected that kind of bluntness. I smiled like an idiot and nodded, unable to get anything coherent out. She got up, slid into the seat beside mine, and left the middle armrest raised.

Her perfume wrapped around me immediately, something warm and sweet that filled my nose and went straight to my stomach. Her knee brushed mine and didn’t move away. I didn’t either.

—Renata —she whispered, offering me her hand with a formality that contrasted with everything else.

—Mateo —I replied, trying not to let my voice shake.

—Nice to meet you, Mateo.

For a few minutes we only exchanged low-voiced comments about the film, stupid little jokes neither of us was really listening to. And then came the first gesture that left no room for doubt: her hand settled on my thigh, calm, as if it had been there all her life.

I turned to look at her. Her eyes shone in the dark, amused, challenging me. She had that expression of someone who knows exactly what she’s doing and enjoys every second of it.

Very slowly, her hand began moving up my leg. Centimeter by centimeter, unhurried, until it reached the tight fabric of my trousers. She felt my cock through the cloth, weighing it in her fingers, and let out the faintest laugh when she noticed how hard I was.

—Wow. Seems like you’re enjoying the movie more than you let on. It shows all over you, Mateo. You’re rock hard.

I swallowed. I couldn’t find the words. Lights and sounds kept flickering on the screen, but for me nothing existed beyond her hand and her breathing near my ear.

She lowered the zipper with a care that made me even more nervous, tooth by tooth, barely audible over the soundtrack. She slipped her hand through the opening, pushed the fabric of my briefs aside, and pulled my cock out into the open. I felt it throb against her cold fingers, exposed in the middle of the theater. She closed her warm fingers around me and began moving them slowly, up and down the full length, squeezing at the base and loosening at the head, all while pretending to watch the screen with complete naturalness. A thread of pre-cum wet her thumb and she spread it over the tip with circular motions that made my back arch against the seat. I bit my lip so I wouldn’t make a sound.

—Stay still —she whispered—. Don’t let anyone notice.

Then, without warning, she leaned over my lap. I felt her hair spill over my thighs, her mouth opening, her tongue circling the head before taking me all the way in. The wet heat closed around me right there, in a theater with six strangers a few yards away. The thought that anyone might turn around made my pulse race in a way I’d never felt before.

I gripped the armrests hard, digging my fingers into the worn fabric. She moved calmly, without hurry, alternating lips and tongue, sucking the tip with firm suction and then taking me deep, until I felt my head brush the back of her throat. She pulled my cock from her mouth with a wet, obscene sound, barely covered by the dialogue on the screen, and took me back in to the base. She licked my whole length, sucked my balls with her mouth open, and swallowed me again, playing with me as if we had all night. I felt a drop of saliva slide down from the base and wet my balls.

—God, Renata —I managed through clenched teeth, almost voiceless—. You suck cock like a fucking pro.

She moaned around me and the vibration shot up my whole dick. She sped up, holding my base with one hand and jerking me while she sucked me at the same time, coordinated, ferocious. I felt the tingle climbing from my balls and knew that if she kept going ten more seconds I was going to come in her mouth.

She stopped just in time. She sat back up, wiped a strand of saliva away with the back of her hand, wiped the corner of my mouth with one finger, and spoke into my ear with a smile you could hear in her tone.

—Relax. This is just the beginning. I’ve got a surprise for you.

The word “surprise” thudded in my chest and made me even harder, without me quite understanding why.

There were a few more minutes of stolen caresses, of hands that wouldn’t stay still, of fingers slipping under my T-shirt to pinch my nipples, until she stood up and tugged my wrist.

—Come on. The bathroom. Now.

I didn’t hesitate for a second.

***

We left the theater walking fast, pressed against the shadows of the corridor, and slipped into the bathroom at the back, the one almost nobody uses during the late shows. As soon as she locked the door, she shoved me against the cold tiled wall and kissed me with a hunger that left me defenseless. Her tongue searched for mine, pushed deep into my mouth, and I could taste myself on her, my own cock. Her whole body pressed into mine, her hip grinding against my open fly, my cock still hanging out of my pants, trapped between us.

I lifted her shirt and yanked her bra open. She had small, firm tits, with dark, hard nipples. I bent down and took one into my mouth, sucking hard, biting carefully, while she dug her nails into the back of my neck and begged for more through clenched teeth.

—Yes, like that, eat them, suck them hard.

I fumbled the buttons on her jeans and started tugging them down, eager to feel more skin. When I got them to mid-thigh, I stopped for a second.

Under the thin fabric of her underwear there was something I hadn’t expected. An unmistakable bulge, tense, outlining the cotton.

I froze, my hands suspended in the air, processing what was in front of me. Renata watched me with a calm smile, not an ounce of shame, waiting for my reaction.

—Surprise —she murmured.

She lowered her underwear without taking her eyes off me. Her cock sprang free, thick, very hard, the glans shiny and a prominent vein running along the underside. A thousand things flashed through my head at once: doubts, ideas I thought I had sorted out about myself, everything turning upside down in an instant. But my body, still just as hard as it had been a minute earlier, had already answered for me.

—Any problem, Mateo? —she asked, brushing her hip against mine, letting her cock knock against my own.

—None —I gasped—. Quite the opposite.

***

She smiled, and that smile settled everything. She ground against me, skin to skin, our two cocks together, drawing a low moan from me that I couldn’t hold back. She grabbed both of them with one hand and started jerking us off together, her palm closed over both heads, precum mixing between us. She was warm, firm, alive, and the contact lit me up in a whole new way.

—See how they fit? —she whispered—. See how much you like it?

I brought my hand down and closed it over both of them too, copying her, surprised by how much I liked holding another cock in my hand for the first time in my life. It was thicker than mine, pulsing, and every time I squeezed the base she let out a rough gasp against my neck.

We kissed again while we stroked each other, unhurried and hurried at the same time. She grabbed my ass firmly, slipping a finger between my cheeks over the fabric of my lowered pants, claiming my body as if it were already hers.

—I’m going to fuck you —she whispered in my ear, direct and to the point—. I’m going to take you all the way, and you’re going to ask me for it.

Suddenly she turned me gently and bent me over the sink, folded forward, my hands braced on the porcelain. I saw our blurred reflections in the mirror fogged with steam: me with my shirt hitched up to my chest, her behind me, her hard cock pressed against my ass. She spoke into my ear, her voice rough.

—I want to fuck you here. Right now. Bent over this sink while the movie keeps playing out there.

My heart hammered against my ribs. The kink of knowing where we were, of hearing the distant murmur of the theater in the background, had me on edge. I nodded without a second thought.

—Yeah. Fuck me.

She pulled my pants down to my ankles. She spat on her fingers and took my hand back between my cheeks. She started circling my hole with her wet, slick thumb, pressing in circles until I felt the tip give way. She pushed one whole finger in, slowly, curling it inside me, and drew a moan from me that bounced off the tiles. She added a second finger. Then a third. She opened me patiently, pushing in and pulling out, until I felt the firm pressure of her glans finding its place.

—Relax —she told me, resting a hand on my lower back—. Slowly. Push back when I come in.

And she entered me. Slowly, steadily, without pause. I felt myself opening little by little, felt her cock forcing its way in centimeter by centimeter, a mix of pressure and something I didn’t know how to name. A shiver ran up my spine. I clenched my teeth to keep from shouting and let out a restrained moan. I felt her balls brush my ass when she reached the hilt.

***

Once she was all the way inside, she stopped. She let me breathe. She stroked my chest under my T-shirt, pinched my nipples, gently bit my neck, and only then began to move. First softly, almost tenderly, sliding out until just the tip and then driving all the way back in, attentive to every reaction I had. Then, when she sensed I was giving in, harder. Each thrust pushed me against the edge of the sink, and I pushed back searching for her.

—That’s it, fuck —she growled—. That’s what I like, when you ask for it.

The sound of our hips colliding, the wet slap each time she sank all the way in, mixed with my ragged breathing and the hollow metallic echo of the empty bathroom. The possibility that someone might come in at any moment didn’t scare me: it excited me even more. I pictured some random moviegoer opening the door and finding us like this, me bent over, her cock inside me, mine hanging hard between my legs.

Renata held my hips with both hands, setting the pace, her fingers digging into my skin, sure of every movement. Sometimes she pulled out completely and slammed back in, drawing a moan from me that I muffled with my free hand. I was helpless, trembling, completely in her hands, amazed at how good it felt to be like this, with a cock inside me for the first time.

—Tell me you like it —she panted against my ear, thrusting hard—. Tell me.

—I like it —I moaned—. I fucking love it. Don’t stop, fuck, don’t stop.

At one point she reached around and grabbed my cock, still hard and dripping against the porcelain sink. She started jerking me fast, at the same rhythm as her fucking, her hand moving up and down my whole length while she kept moving inside me. That double sensation —filled from behind, rocked from in front— made me lose the last bit of control I had left. I felt myself reaching the edge, everything clenching, knowing I wasn’t going to last much longer.

—Let go —she whispered in my ear, without slowing down or stopping her hand—. Come for me. Come with my cock inside you.

And I did. I came harder than I remembered ever coming, thick ropes of semen splattering the mirror, the white porcelain, Renata’s hand, while she kept pounding into me without mercy. I braced myself on the sink, shaking from head to toe, my breathing broken. A second later I felt her tense behind me, dig her nails into my hip, hold back a rough groan, and come inside me too, in hot pulses I felt one by one, wrapped around my back as she emptied herself completely. She stayed inside for a while longer, pressed against me, breathing into the nape of my neck.

When she finally pulled out, slowly, I felt a line of her cum slide down the inside of my thigh. We stayed like that for a few moments, breathless, sweaty, pressed together while our pulses gradually returned to normal.

***

I turned to look at her. I expected awkwardness, maybe a rush to leave. Instead she kissed me with a tenderness that didn’t match the brutality of a moment before, and brushed a sweaty lock of hair off my forehead.

—Too much for you? —she asked, with half a smile.

—That was the most intense thing I’ve ever experienced —I replied, and it was true.

She gave a soft laugh and kissed me again. We cleaned ourselves up as best we could with paper towels, fixed our clothes as well as we could, with nervous laughter, and went back into the theater as if nothing had happened, still with our hearts racing and our legs weak.

The movie was still exactly where we’d left it, as if the world had carried on without noticing a thing. But I was no longer the same man who had gone in looking for a dark place to stop thinking. I could hardly believe what had just happened, and at the same time I had one very clear certainty: I wanted to see her again, I wanted to do it again, I wanted to understand better that part of me that Renata had just awakened all at once.

Before sitting down beside me again, she leaned in and spoke into my ear one last time.

—Next time —she murmured— you choose the place. And make it even riskier.

I smiled in the darkness, my heart still racing and the promise looping through my head while the credits were still far away. Who would’ve told me that an empty late-night screening, which I’d gone to in order to get away from everyone, would end up teaching me more about myself than any workweek ever could.
