17.7.14



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
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

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
                                                                                                                                          
the magicmarker felt good on his arm  almost ticklish 
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
                                                                                                                                   
he felt the sheet move   slightly
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
