It was very strange
unsettling
but once he endured it rode it out
and followed its flow like a dog on a scent
as improbable
fantastic as it was
hed return to it again and again as an addict spites a dirty needle
if its all that stands between them
if its all that stands between them
and
a fix
she was long
not necessarily tall
full breasted
her arched back giving her away
her slack tshirt drawn tightly across
her chest as she
worked out her back from stooping over vegetable crates and replenishing the lower
cooler shelves
worked out her back from stooping over vegetable crates and replenishing the lower
cooler shelves
she shook the tedium out of her
hips supplying fresh blood to her lower extremities
these arrested
his glance
he approached her
with
an innocuous remark
and
suddenly candidly opened a refreshing and stunning cavalcade of responses and
repartees
interests unfolding that each admitted it was unlikely either
would have expected
the other to share
then because
she was working to complete his nearly-full basket toted in
hand
there remained one last item
for him to gather
her
telephone number
she laughed deep-throated and
didnt cover her mouth which he
enjoyed
-- My number
she took him by the wrist and wrote it on the inside of his arm
So
you wont forget to call me
he had to return the favor
and penned his number on her arm
then each revealed left-handed and more inspired they recognized their unique scripts begged even in their numbers
she took the pen from
his hand and tattooed her name inside his elbow and he
took
it back from her as they laughed and printed his on the inside of her bicep
they agreed to meet at a small
ristorante for a late supper after she finished work and had freshened up
he told her as far as he was
concerned she was fine as she was flushed
and she smelled like
a hardworking woman
should
-- No
she said I have a knockout scent
Ive been wanting to wear but havent had the right occasion for it
-- A potion
-- You might say that
The waitress found
their penned arms playful
and enticing
she
managed their supper with minimal interruptions and delicate aplomb
for her keen trouble in addition to her tip he bought her a nice
bottle of wine telling her that in his experience she was second to none in
providing for and pleasuring her diners
on the back of his receipt she
wrote her name and number surreptitiously and squeezed his bicep as she thanked them for
coming
the scent as she intimated at the store was intoxicating
she asked him if he might like
to come to her place for a nightcap
he said he would be enchanted
he bought a bottle from the
ristorantes cellar wine the proprietor
suggested a Negroamaro
he
said smiling and winking
-- Also full-bodied
he asked her if she might be
interested rather in coming over to his place
the evening
was cool
they could start a fire in the firepit sit in the Adirondacks slip on wraps if it proved too cold and enjoy
their wine
he told her of the antique leadcrystal
glasses he had which would be marvelous for taking wine and watching the fire play
inside them
she thought it a fine idea and agreed
in the parking lot he realised
their server had slipped him her name and number
-- What
she laughed
-- Yeah
Thats a kick Never happened to me
before
-- Did you want to take her up on it The three of us could play together
-- Play together I like that
But I havent had a chance to play with you Besides Im singleminded
I prefer one thing at a time Never was much a juggler
-- Lack coordination
-- Funny
Uninterested too laborious I
enjoy lavishing my intentions
-- Are you trying to say all the right things because
while I cant speak for her I
juggle And wouldnt mind playing with her
too
-- Thats good to know Though maybe some other night
-- Another date
-- Id dig another with you Its been good so far
-- Yes
Sure Lets reel Go to your place
In the morning she slipped out
from under the sheet
a comely silhouette against the
red dawn
she
scarcely woke him
-- Work
she whispered Call me
she leaned over him her breasts pushed against his chest she kissed him lightly
I really liked playing with you
-- I liked playing with you too he said sleepily
she slipped out of the bedroom clutching
her clothes
he heard her
dress in the livingroom and snug the door closed behind her as she left
he could still smell her
her potion
he closed his eyes
he wasnt asleep
her hand
caressed his belly
her hand grasped him took him he was aroused
he sighed deeply
he kept his eyes shut he felt her slip the sheet off his hips
her thighs warm to either side of him
her guiding slipping him inside her
her lowering herself maddeningly slow
slowly slowly back up
her hands fingernails at his chest
the sheet pulling rising with her thrusts
then she was off him
her mouth at him
he
reached down covering her head with his hand
her head covered by the sheet
he felt her head turn under his palms
he sighed gasped caught
his breath
involuntary sounds rose from his throat
he opened his eyes they shut
opened shuttered opened he could make
out her form
under the sheet
feel
her hands at him at his hips his thighs
her mouth
he slipped his hands under the
sheet to take her face
he wanted desperately to kiss her
she wasnt there
the sheet rose
she slipped him back inside her
now
taking him frantically
writhing
the
sheet twisting above him
he barked he came
the sheet stiffened her backbone erect
she pinched at his nipples
a sound emerged
from deep from inside her throat as she came
she came
he could feel her tighten around him
she came
the sheet slackened
collapsed
he could feel her weight atop him her breasts at his hips
they sighed nearly together
she wasnt there
she was
Satiated again exhausted
he closed
his eyes
The telephone woke him
barely aroused he listened to the machine as it slipped from
his abrupt greeting to record
the message
the server from the ristorante
she was
if she followed the directions correctly
at the coffee shop not far from his house
his date who he had dinner with last night had called
her and shared his number
laughing she admitted her playful nature too and wondered if he wouldnt mind joining her
for coffee a sandwich
whatnot
she
laughed
-- I prefer whatnot
she left her number
he felt a hand dance at his
belly
he felt fingernails bite at his
ribs drag rosecoloured furrows to his
pubic hair
her wrist her tendons rocking back and forth atop his cock
she wasnt there
stirred he got up from bed
wandered into the livingroom
took the telephone from the hewed
mantle above the stone and quartz fireplace
he called whatnot
she came
he opened the door to let her
in
the sheet wrapped
at his hips
he could smell the potion emanating out from the hollow of her
throat behind her ears at her wrists and
inside her elbows
above her curled pubis
at the
soft and the tendons at the back of her knees
-- You smell good I thought you just spoke with her
she laughed
-- No
She called Stopped at my place She shared this scent with me Said you really quite enjoyed it
-- I do
Its exquisite
-- It is
-- Does something for me
-- Its particularly wonderful off her skin
-- Yes
-- Do you like it off my skin Do we share like chemistries
-- Apparently
he smiled you do
she smiled touched her upper lip with the tip of her
tongue walked up to him
and slipped two of her fingers inside the
sheet
wrapped at
his belly
she whispered heated in his ear
-- You need help making the bed
-- No Not
the bed Or you I imagine
she slipped the sheet free from
his hand
he let it fall to the floor
-- Ah handsome Youre not shy
he took her by the back of the
head a handful of hair in his fist and pulled her to him
her mouth to his
She left just after dusk
she slipped lithely out from
under the sheet to shower
she had work
he said hed join her
-- I said I have to work And I have little doubt if you join me Ill definitely be late You dont
want me to lose my job do you
-- I wouldnt say that
-- No you wouldnt Have a little job for me do you
-- Youve gotta a one track mind all this do and jobs If you keep talkin dirty to me what do you expect
-- Oh I
know what to expect Please I really have to be to work on time
-- I thought you were playful
she
rolled her huge green eyes
Fine But dont draw the curtain I wanna watch you shower Ill pour us a vodka and hold yours Hell you can sip from mine
when she was dressed he walked
her to the door
he
opened it for her
-- Youll excuse me if I dont
walk you out
she took him in her hand
-- No thats fine
Dont want any trouble for you or your neighbors
-- Youre a gent
she kissed him deeply
-- Call me
-- Im accruing call mes
-- Then call us
he waved goodbye to her through
the screen door as she rolled past and honked
He dropped on the bed
thought Wow
the vodka warmed his blood and
dumped colored oil all over his brain
he casually slipped the sheet
over himself it reminded him he had a
call to make
the room smelled so very pleasant
he
never knew it to be as inviting
at his ankle
he felt a hand
fingers playing him behind his knee at his hip
a hand taking him in hand
a mouth at his belly kisses and bites at the instep of his
foot
the sheet wafted gingerly
engulfing him
the sea
it
reminded him of the sea
and
Sirens
He had fallen into something
and the somethings stayed with him happily
after the women had left
a carnal menagerie
his bed full and as explicit as his painted
imaginings
an addict spiting dirty needles
if its all that stands between them
and
a fix
