Richard and Julianne Moore catch up and have coffee. Well, that's how it starts...
(players only, backdated to December 5)

It hadn't been the scene that Richard had been witness to the other day that had led him to call Julianne to meet for coffee. After all, Richard is in a relationship and also starting something intriguing with Alex - at least he hopes it's just the start. He's been meaning to catch up with her for ages - it's been a while since they worked on the movie. The scene just gave him the push. He is half-watching the door so he will be able to rise when she comes in.

For tonight, it took Juli a bit to figure out what to wear. She is meeting up again with Richard, who's really just a good friend. But they are also meeting at the club. In the end, she decided to go with sexy underwear - instead of none - tight black leatherpants and a tight green shirt. Sexy, but not too sexy.



Entering the club, she scans the room for Richard, spotting him at a table somewhat in the back of the room.

Richard has dressed semi casually, black pants and a white shirt, no tie or jacket - well, the jacket's in the coat room, because he really is just wanting to catch up. Yes, he could have chosen a less obviously sexual place, but he likes the club. And it wouldn't do to have a reporter overhear as they talk about kink. He's pretty sure he's used the 'research' excuse a few too many times for it to be plausible again.

Juli smiles as she moves over to Richard and sits down across from him. "Richard. Haven't seen you in forever. I can say your invitation caught me a bit by surprise. A pleasant surprise."

"I realised how long it had been," Richard answers, standing up and kissing her cheek softly. "You look wonderful! How have you been?" he sits again.

"So do you." Juli kisses his cheek in reply. "I've been good," she grins. "Made a new discovery a couple of months ago. As you can tell. How've you been?"

"I can tell indeed. I've been good. Been having some interesting encounters here, myself, and I'm doing a lot of work with the Foundation. I'm also getting to know a very delightful young man named Alex. There's a lot of new things in my life."

"A young man named Alex, huh? Well, you might just have to introduce us some time." Juli smiles at Richard and leans back against her chair. "I'm afraid I have nothing as exciting to report. I'm single again, alone with my cats. Not that I mind."

"I'm sure the cats are as lovely as their owner," Richard answers gallantly. "Would you like something to drink? Coffee or something cool?"

"Something cool would be fine, yes. A coke?" She can't help blushing a little at the compliment. "Thanks."

Richard signals the waiter. "Two cokes, please. Nothing in them." He smiles. "So you were saying you've only recently discovered this?" He's surprised, given the scene he saw her in the other day. But then again... some people do take to the lifestyle very quickly.

"Yes. Well, some of these things aren't completely new to me... but most stuff is." Julianne smiles.

"I've been a member here for a very long time," Richard says. "My first male lover," he doesn't think that will surprise her, somehow, "brought me in long ago. And I was a member when I was married - that's why some of those rumours started, the ones about us being gay. They were half right. Technically."

Juianne nods. "I feel like I'm rather late with all this, but then again... it's never too late for this, is it? I don't mean just kink... also women. I never gave that much thought, but I think I'd love to experiment a bit with other women as well."

"My dear," Richard smiles. "It's never too late at all. Some people - some I know - have come both kink and the gender they don't usually prefer - and that can mean any of the possibilities - at any time in life. Some later, and some earlier. I think it just depends on your opportunities."

"I didn't say I'm too late," Julianne replies, laughing. "Just late. It might make it more fun, you know... being more experienced in general than you usually are at, say, twenty."

"I know, I did, but I've known people who discover this at sixty," Richard answers. "That was more what I meant. I think it could... you would have some more idea of what works to get you off. So what have you discovered that works for that so far?" he asks, casually.

"Public things. I love it when people watch me, I love showing myself of. Already loved doing this before I discovered kink. Other than that... I figured out that pain does it for me. And maybe..." she smiles, remembering her night with Anthony. "Maybe even humiliation. I'm still... a bit confused about that."

"I remember a few red carpets where you seemed like you couldn't be photographed enough. And..." he winks, "I've seen some of those lovely nude photos of you too. You would seem to have an exhibitionist streak. And pain... yes, it's not rare for someone not to be into it but it's uncommon around here." Richard frowns. "Did someone push you a little far? Or is it trying to figure it out?" He doesn't even consider that he's asking too many questions. Julianne is his friend and he's trying to help her. That's all. And if there was a tiny flare of arousal at the idea of humiliating her - that is clamped down. For the moment.

"No... no. He didn't push me too far." Julianne shakes her head. "He called me... names during the scene while he took me. I liked it. I just... never thought I'd enjoy something like that. I didn't even notice during, just got off on it. It made me think, to be honest. Just how far I would let someone go with humiliating me."

Richard nods. "You're probably going to come across a lot more things like that. Some you'll love and want more of. Others you'll like and want to do on a regular basis. Some you won't really feel much about but will do if your partner - for a scene or for more - wants to. Some you won't like but will do for someone who wants you to. And some you won't even want to consider doing. Stop me if I'm sounding like a Buddhist Master." He means Master either way of course.

Julianne laughs at that. "Of course. And it's always... I'm not sure confusing is the right word, but I do wonder sometimes why I like the things I do. Just looking at it from the outside, it does seem a bit bizarre, no? Not that it matters."

"Confusing isn't a bad word for it," Richard answers. "And as for bizarre, well, it depends on your perspective. Some people like to be spanked while wearing leather, some like soft tender kisses and vanilla sex. Who says either is less bizarre? I know people who would think not wearing the leather was bizarre. I'm somewhere between the extremes. I love kink but I also love gentler sex at times."

"Oh yes, there's nothing wrong with gentle sex." Julianne nods. "Especially when there are feelings involved other than just... well... lust."

"I know what you mean," Richard nods. "Lust is a good thing but friendship or more can make a sexual encounter better, I know." And he hadn't meant that to sound like a come on.

"Yes. But that's also not what I'm coming here for. Gentle sex, I mean." Juli smiles again. "Not when there's so much more to discover."

"Oh very definitely not," Richard nods. "Though... it can be wonderful to have a very intense pain session and then have gentle sex after, the movement of your skin enough to pull and remind you of what's just happened, someone else's cool skin rubbing against the warm red marks on yours..." he clears his throat and sips his coffee.

"That's true..." Julianne's thoughts drift off for a moment, remembering the first time she felt the impact of a paddle on her skin before she shakes herself out of it again. "What about you? What kind of things do you like?"

"Many things," Richard answers. "I'm sure you'll be surprised to know I lean dominant. Haven't switched in years - not since my marriage. I can switch, but it's only with someone I'm very serious with. I'm not so rigid about topping - I quite enjoy being fucked by a boy or even a girl with a strap-on." He thinks... it's unusual to have to lay out his kinks though he supposes he will have to when he talks with Alex about where they'll go. "Bondage in any form, floggers, spanking - I love the feel of a sub's ass under my hand, fisting and other deep penetration, role play, pushing my partner's limits - and sometimes my own, giving pain, and a few other things that aren't coming to mind right now."

"Role play?" Julianne raises an eyebrow. "What kind? I can't say I've done that yet, but I imagine, being an actress, it would only come naturally, no?"

"Just about anything, really. I've even played out scenes as my characters - Billy Flynn in Chicago defending another sexy murderess only this one seduces him, the Pretty Woman scenario - I've done that a lot one way and another, hooker and client is a really, really popular role play scenario, I guess because it's so easy. Boss and secretary for pretty much the same reasons as well, and there are more elaborate scenes. It just depends on your imagination. I've always liked the idea of kidnapper and victim though I've never played it. Shades of non con but it's agreed upon before the scene. I know you'll have come across safe words - a scene like that couldn't happen without them."

Julianne nods. "Yes. Safewords were among the first things I was told about." She smiles. "And it does sound like you have a lot of experience."

"They usually are," Richard agrees. He smiles at her. "One of the advantages of age." He considers what he says next very carefully. "If you'd like, I could help you in any way you want to get used to things around here."

Catching what Richard is hinting at, Julianne blushes a bit. "I... I'd appreciate that. Any kind of help." Her smile turns a little shy as she regards him a bit closer. She has friends with benefits - after all, it was one of those who got her into the club. But for some reason she never considered Richard being one of them. "Maybe... you could show me some things?"

Richard hadn't thought of it before he'd offered - well, there'd been a few thoughts as she spoke of course, but knowing that even here, with the best of intentions, there could be experiences that lead a newcomer to never want to try those things again due to miscommunications, he wanted to try and help Julianne have first experiences - and maybe more than first experiences if fate was kind to them - as good as his own. "I'd like to, very much." He starts by kissing her, tongue probing. It's not an innocent kiss at all, and he's just testing, taking it slow for now.

Even considering what they're talking about, the kiss is a surprise. A pleasant one and Julianne leans into it, smiling. "Tell me about it... tell me what you'd like to show me."

"The only limits would be anything you didn't want to do," Richard says. "And my only limit is that we would use condoms for penetration. Beyond that, I'd like to show you everything. How it feels to have my fingers fuck your cunt right here, how my fist feels inside you, how it feels for me to tie you up in Japanese rope bondage..." he lets a hand move to cup her breast. "How my crop feels on your skin. How a hand can move from pain to gentleness."

"I don't think I'm ready for fists yet," Julianne moans. "As much as I'd love to." She moves forward, arching her chest up to move against his hand. "Why don't we start with some rope and your fingers?" She grins. "Down here in the bar?"

"No, not yet, but someday," Richard answers. He allows it, for now. "And that sounds like an excellent beginning to... just about anything, actually." He grins. "I'd also like you to strip now."

"Yes... Sir," Julianne replies as she gets up to strip. The boots, shirt and trousers are gone quickly, leaving her only in her underwear. She takes a bit more time to remove that, teasing Richard before she's finally completely naked. Following an instinctive impuls, she kneels down in front of him, her legs spread wide. Knowing that he can see everything like that.

"Good girl," Richard praises her. He likes her instincts - and her lovely skin. He looks around, noticing a few glances in their direction, and smiles. "Do you like to be called names? Nasty, dirty names that describe you and what you're doing?"

Julianne nods, feeling her face flushing. "Yes, Sir, I'd like you to treat me like the... the worthless slut I am." She feels the pit of her belly heating up slightly, just saying those words.

"You are a worthless slut, only interested in the pleasures of your body, aren't you?" Richard asks. "I wouldn't be surprised if you're wet already. Stand up so I can see."

"Yes, Sir." Feeling the eyes on her, she stands up and moves closer to Richard, her legs lightly spread. Near enough for him to reach out and feel her wetness if he wants to.

Richard touches her, carefully, stroking through the curls and over her lips. "Wanton slut," he says. "Wet at the idea of all these people watching you, nipples hard too," he can see that as well, and he strokes her clit. "Swollen and begging for a touch."

Julianne shivers, her muscles quivering as her pleasure spikes at his touch. She can feel herself getting wetter, moaning. "Wet at the idea of you filling all of my slutty holes at once. Sir."

And a moment ago you were thinking rope might be enough, Richard smiles to himself. "Would you like that? Cock in your pussy, fingers in your ass, tongue in your mouth?" He slips a finger inside her, probing around and pressing on her g-spot.

"Yes, Sir," Julianne purrs, pressing down against his finger, clenching her muscles around it. She looks around, spotting that the cross in the room is currently unoccupied and smiling. "Why don't you tie your slut onto the cross?"

"Why not indeed," Richard answers. "You'll crawl over," he withdraws his hand, so she can kneel and crawl. "Let me watch you as you make your way. I will be close enough to stop any unwanted attention," he knows it's not likely to happen but even the most in control Dom can be tempted by a crawling sub who doesn't seem to have anyone with them and not everyone had turned to watch them.

"Yes, Sir." Julianne complies with Richard's order and crawls over to the cross. She makes sure to keep her legs spread as wide as possible while crawling, showing her body off to Richard and the other people in the bar.

Richard moves along a few steps behind her, shaking his head at a couple of gestures to touch her. "Mine," he whispers, and the adventurous ones move back to watch, or to find someone else. He's aroused, hard, but his control is enough that he doesn't need to come yet. He has many plans for Julianne before that will happen.

Once she's arrived at the cross, Julianne kneels before it, waiting for her Sir's - for tonight - permission to stand up. She can feel the eyes on her, the very knowledge that not only Richard is watching getting her wet again.

A moment later and Richard is there. "I want you to face the cross, hands out, legs spread as wide as you can," he says to her. "I want to play with your back and ass and cunt. Because it's the first time I'll use my hands. I can go a lot harder and deeper - but I don't want to for the first time. I want to get to know your reactions." He waits for her to stand so he can tie her hands and feet.

"Yes, Sir. I understand." Getting up, she moves to stand against the cross, her legs and arms spread as wide as possible, her hips held in a way that her arse is pushed slightly outwards. Giving Richard access to all of her body.

"Very good," Richard says, moving to slide the cuffs over her wrists. He kneels to fasten the cuffs over her ankles. "Is there anything you don't want?" he asks, softly. "Let me know now."

"No fisting, we already established that," Julianne replies. "My safeword is Shelter... I don't... we would have to see about the rest. Maybe I can give you a sign other than my safeword if I don't like something?"

"How about if you want to pause, you say yellow," Richard answers. "That's one of the usual terms - there are others but that one's simple. I'm not planning on pushing you too far - and if you do want something you may ask - though my giving it is still up to me of course," he smiles, pressing a kiss to the back of her neck.

"Yellow. Got it. Understood." Julianne nods. She can do that - and she's heard about this method before. "Perfect." She likes being at Richard's mercy, so to speak. Having Richard decide what she can and can't feel, experience.

"I will probably respond, if only to pause, to stop this time," Richard says. "But I can't promise it so don't count on it." He starts by caressing her ass. "God, I've always thought you had one of the most luscious asses I've ever seen," he says, squeezing. "I love your skin. Shows every mark, every touch..."

Julianne moans at the touch and pushes back and into Richard's hands, loving the feeling of his hands on her. In her. "Mmmh..." She's glad that the cuffs allow for some movement at least, allowing her to squirm. To beg with her body.

And of course, Richard can't possibly resist, and he spanks her, marvelling at his hand print on her pale skin. He likes seeing it. So much, he does it again.

Julianne groans and moves back against Richard's hand as he spanks her. It's only light pain, the slap just hard enough to sting, to warm her skin.

At least the spanks are like that to begin with as Richard gets a feel for Julianne, for her ass and the rest of her, and slowly, he adds pressure, hitting harder, in a steady rhythm until he has made her ass pink, and it's deepening slowly.

Julianne's moans grow louder the harder Richard's spanking gets. She tries to spread her legs wider, finding that this isn't really possible, not with her ankles tied as they are.

Richard moves up to whisper in her ear. "Are you wet, slut? From me spanking you and from knowing that all these people are watching, or they could be watching if they're not? Does that make you wet and wanting like a common whore?" he isn't sure he should use that word but if she doesn't like it, she'll let him know.

"Yes...," Julianne growls. "I'm wet. Wet for you and your cock. I need it... Need to feel it inside of me. Need to be filled like the slut I am."

And oh, he likes that. He spanks her again, and this time slides his fingers down and into her cunt. "You're absolutely drenched - I do believe we've found at least one kink, haven't we, slut?" he asks, his own voice falling into a growl too. "I'm going to fuck you so hard you'll have trouble walking for the next week," he says, and he looks around for the condoms. He knows he won't need lube. He is also amused, honestly not having thought he'd end this meeting with public sex. Not that he's complaining.

Julianne definitely isn't complaining as she pushes her ass and cunt back against Richard's fingers, clamping her muscles down on them. "Fuck me...," she begs. "Please..."

"Just a moment," Richard says, he strips quickly, and rolls the condom on. He hopes very much that more will happen with Julianne - he's really enjoying seeing her reactions and would just like it to happen again to see more of them. He moves back and spanks her a couple more times, and whispers in her ear. "Ready for me, slut?"

"Yes, ready," she cries out, desperate to feel him inside her. "Please. Just... fuck me." She moves against the spankings, wanting to feel his hand on her cunt.

Richard lines up and pushes in from behind. He reaches around her, one hand going to her breasts, pulling on her nipples and pinching them, the other going to her cunt, playing with her clit. "You don't come until I say," he whispered. "Understood, slut?"

"Yes, Sir!" Julianne cries out, pushing down and back onto Richard's cock, clenching her muscles. "Understood." It'll be hard not to come with the way he's pulling on her nipples and pinches them, the way he plays with her clit.

Richard knows this, of course. It wouldn't do to make it easy, especially as he wouldn't at all mind having to punish her for coming too soon, and if she can control herself, that's good too. Richard thrusts deeply inside Julianne, the condom not dulling sensation at all as far as he can tell.

The deeper thrusts have Julianne crying out with each of them, putting on a bit of a show for Richard and the on-lookers as well as she moves back against him, her head bent backwards. "Fuck, yes!" She's close, she knows it... but she's holding back so far.

"So many people watching us," Richard growls softly into Julianne's ear. "They know you're just a slut for me to use, that you're only here for me to fuck." He knows, even in the midst of his arousal, that he'll have to stay around for a while to make sure she's okay after all this.

"Yes... only a slut for you tonight." Julianne replies, her voice husky, almost a growl. "God... so close," she warns Richard, hoping he will stop teasing her clit, making it easier for her to obey.

"You are," Richard nods, and he's still playing with her, but he eases back slightly, not ready for her to come yet. He has a lot more control than she does, and he hopes to get the chance to see her when she's in more control of her reactions. But that's a while off. And now he has a hot girl around his cock and he's not thinking of much else beyond that she must wait for his permission to come. Richard sinks his teeth into Julianne's neck, making sure it's under her hair. He doesn't go too deep, but with her skin it leaves a mark, which is his intention.

The bite isn't helping, it only pushes Julianne closer to the edge and she cries out again, once more warning Richard of just how close she is. She can't help wondering if he's about to deliberately push her over, despite the order.

Richard stops biting, and starts licking. He's close, but he wants to tease as long as he can, and he can hold back just a little more.

Julianne's cries turn into soft moans as Richard licks the spot he's just been biting. Soothing her and her skin. She lets her head fall back, her cheek resting against his.

"Good girl," he whispers in her ear, going slower, more gently to ease her back from the edge just a little. "You're doing very well and I know there are a lot of people here just thinking about being with you.... imagining it. There's even some jerking off... all for you."

"Yes...," Julianne whispers. "I can see them, Sir. Hear them." She's calming down again, her body still tingling, her cunt still hurting from the need to come, but it's not as urgent anymore.

"I know," Richard answers. "But they can't have you, not tonight at least. For tonight you're mine..." and he starts to move again, but slow, not wanting to push her over yet.

Julianne starts moaning again as Richard moves inside of her. Slowly, teasing... but not going too far. "Yes..."

"I'm going to let you come soon," he says. "But only because I want you to." His movements continue, the slowness its own wonderful feeling.

"Thank you, Sir," Julianne manages to reply, panting for air as he keeps her on the edge. Balancing them both there.

"It's just lucky that we both want the same thing," Richard answers, but there's gentle teasing in his tone, more than harsh Dom. His fingers tighten on her clit. "Now, slut. Come now."

As Richard's fingers tighten on her clit, so does her muscles tighten on him as she comes. She pushes back against him, fingers digging into the wood of the cross.

And that's his signal to be able to let go, and he comes, inside the condom. It's so automatic now but for some reason, this time, there's a second of wishing it was like the old days, when condoms weren't automatically used. Just a second, and Richard knows far too well how necessary the precautions are, but still...

As she slowly comes down from the orgasm, Julianne stops squirming. She's still panting heavily, her knees shaky and she leans back against Richard as much as possible in her current position.

"Mmm," Richard murmurs. "That was wonderful." He eases out of her, keeping hold of the condom. "Just a moment and I'll untie you." He ties the condom off and finds an appropriate bin for it - there are some that can't be used for them for health reasons. Then he slips his shirt back on and unties Julianne. "Do you want to go somewhere a little less crowded?" he asks her. "Perhaps after we finish dressing?"

"Yes. To both questions," Julianne replies with a sigh. She's feeling a bit empty right now, with not feeling Richard inside of her anymore. "Thank you," she whispers.

"The pleasure was at least half mine," Richard answers, helping her dress again. "You are amazing. I never thought you would be so... open, so quickly."

"Thanks," Julianne says again, a reply to both Richard helping her and his praise. "I didn't think our reunion would end in this," she confesses. "Not that I'm complaining."

"Me either," Richard smiles. "To both." He helps her walk out of the bar, knowing she's got to be feeling at least a little tender. He gets a room for them - not for sex, at least he's not thinking about it again yet - and takes her upstairs.

Julianne leans against Richard as they make their was upstairs to a small room. She's smiling, happy. "Do you do this often? Turn casual meetings into... more?"

"Not often at all," Richard answers. "Though I did turn an audition into an interesting encounter recently, but that's not really the same thing. I don't think, anyway. Would you like some water?" he asks.

"An audition?" Julianne raises an eyebrow. "I didn't think you had to do that to get your roles," she jokes. "And yes, water would be perfect."

Richard laughs as he gets a glass and pours some from the jug on the table. "No, not me, a very... intriguing young man... not that he had to but we met there and talked and well... things are going slowly but well."

"An intriguing young man?" Julianne inquires again, taking a sip of the water. "Does the intriguing young man have a name?"

"Alex - the one I mentioned before. He's an actor too," Richard answers, taking a seat. "We went out for coffee and things developed."

"Coffee and things developed?" Julianne laughs. "Why does that sound familiar to me, Mr. Gere?"

"I don't know," Richard answers, deadpan. "Maybe drinking coffee with me is an aphrodisiac? Not that we - Alex and I - did anything then. Actually we haven't yet. Tomorrow. If it happens on the first date, anyway, that is when it will be. If it's a date."

"That's a lot of Ifs! Is he cute? Then I'd just go for it." Julianne leans back in her chair, the glass of water in her hand. "No Ifs and Buts."

"I plan to," Richard answers. "It's just thinking about it. We might not get to... well," he laughs a bit. "We might not get to the level we got to. I'm not certain of his experience or his needs - that will be covered before we get naked of course." He is expecting that. "And yes," Richard nods. "You could call him cute."

"Oh good, then," Julianne replies. "Possibly inexperienced and definitely cute. You're on a roll with corrupting cute inexperienced subs right now, aren't you?"

"Seems like it," Richard answers. "I must have done something very good to have this happen, though I'm not sure what..."

"Good karma?" Julianne suggests. "I don't know, helped someone over the street lately?"

"Well, there is the Gere Foundation," Richard smiles. "Perhaps this is my karma for those things. Or something like that." He checks her. "How are you feeling?"

"Good. Perfect. Sore." Julianne grins. "And for a moment I thought you were referring to the Gere Foundation for untrained submissives."

Richard laughs, assured that she's okay. "Now that's an idea, but no, I was referring to the one that actually exists. For helping people in Tibet and other places. It means more to me than any movie I've ever done."

Julianne nods, giving Richard a light kiss. "I know. I didn't mean to belittle or make fun of it. It was just... a random thought." She grins. "Sometimes I say things without thinking."

"It's amusing, but I'd never have the time," Richard answers, hugging her. "I like you that way. You've always been good at speaking up."

"Thanks. And so have you been." Julianne leans into the hug, smiling.

"Well, we wouldn't be here if I hadn't," Richard answers. "So... no strings, but would you maybe like to do this again sometime?"

"Oh, definitely." Julianne nods, wrapping her arms around Richard. "Yes. So much to learn from you."
