Intimacy a[F]ter [M]y Spinal Cord Injury

I had recently started college, and I had just gotten to a point where I felt comfortable going out with friends and experiencing life again. On a friday after class I decided to accept an invite out to a bar with some friends. It was me, my best friend, his girlfriend, and a girl that was visiting my best friends girlfriend. Her name was Samantha but she went by Sam. She is about 7 years older than me, so at the time I was 21 and she was 28. She was pretty tall, about 5ft 8, with long black hair, and a nice firm body. Anyway, back to the bar….We were all having a good time drinking and enjoying the night out. After a few shots of tequila I was doing my best to fend off my friends insisting on another round of shots while navigating my wheelchair though a mass of drunk people. I decided to go sit in an outdoor patio area that was connected to the back of the bar. I was sitting out on this patio getting some fresh air and enjoying my buzz when the aforementioned Sam walked out and started talking to me. We started talking about the my past since I had recently moved to Southern California for school. After a short pause in conversation she out of know where she told me that she thought that I was really cute. Without allowing time for my tequila fueled thoughts to form a response she reached over and started playing with my hair a little and rubbing my neck. I was feeling a nice buzz, and when she started rubbing my neck I couldn’t help but to lean my head back and shut my eyes. Suddenly she leaned over and kissed me on the lips. It was a timid and light kiss because I think she may have been afraid of how I might react, but when I leaned forward and kept my lips pressed against hers, she began to kiss me deeply. I slowly sucked on her bottom lip and then softly sucked on her tongue. We kissed for a few moments, and then she leaned back, smiled, and said “I can’t believe I just kissed you, sorry if that was too forward. I had a little more to drink than I thought”. I told her that it wasn’t too forward and that I loved the taste of her. Normally I would have never said anything so forward but I could still taste her on my lips and it was all I could think of. She blushed and laughed shyly while briefly looking away. Without a word she stood up from the chair she was sitting in next to me and moved herself to my lap. I briefly lost my train of thought as I watched the hem of her tight black dress slide up her thigh as she positioned herself against me. Sitting sideways both of her beautiful long legs hanging off one side she placed her hand on the back of my head running her fingers slowly through my hair. She pulled me towards her, parting my lips I felt her tongue gently slide into my mouth and for a time we became lost in each other. We sat on the outdoor patio for a while longer kissing and sharing a few words before she slid off my lap leaned forward placing her hand on my chest and kissing my lips briefly one more time. In a complete haze of inebriation, lust, and disbelief I made my way back to our table sensing Sam following behind. Perhaps because of there own advanced drunken state they didn’t seem to notice the stupid grins we each wore on our faces and the private looks we kept sharing across the table.
