six feet tall

onehundredeighty pounds

hell of a wrestler still he was able to pin her repeatedly
                                                          tangling with her was incentive enough
finishing on top her facethroat flushed with exertion  her sweet breath heavy in his face

   Can’t we forego it this time . . please?

Baby our standing bet   Cant haveya goin back on your word

Occur to you . . you might be a pervert?

Occur to youyou might be an exhibitionist and   masochistI dig both em   They look good on you

she shook her head tresses movedcascaded like a waterfall
                                                                   Is it my turn?
Yes he swallowed hard  My favourite parthow you do it

I titillate you.

she smiled wickedly canine pointsshowed her teeth  deep dimples
                                                                       Come over here. she patted the sofa seat beside her
he cleared his throat
his groin ached
                 he sat 

she shook her hair out 

hands to her waistcrossed her wrists

took the hem of her lavender pullover

one fell swoop she peeled it off over her head

reached behind her

unhooked three hooks he counted to himself as she did  was another favourite when it was his turn

her bra hung from her shoulders

she lifted a cup from below

a single tantalising breast as big as his head

her waist was narrow

her aureole the size of a teacup sauce

she touched her nipple with her little fingerstroked it
                                                       Blow, baby.
his breath was hotmoist

her nipple aureole puckered

she leaned back on her hands bra a figureEIGHT
                                                    Christ
she patted his crotchher breasts jiggled
                                           Little to no room in there.
huskily No
            No none
I still got it.
 
You do
          Maybe one day youll do more than tease me

she laughedchirped a melodious bird
                                         Maybe.
she leaned forwardcupped her breast with her bra pulled up on the straps turned aside as he hooked her up she turned her top right side out arms through the sleeves over her head over her breasts to her waist
                                                                                                      like snakeskin her nipples pronounced  Yare killin me

                                                           they blushed

they were honest                                                                 
               it wasnt negotiable
In or Out

so many of the Ins fell by the wayside angrily
                                                 no salve  Then you’ve no one to be angry other than yourself
they were stonecold honest

he was moved

Lets play a game  he was being off the cuff
                                                  needed to distract himself
he was invited to a pool partyhadnt expected that a younger woman was coming with her boyfriend hadnt thought shed be as attractive as bodacious as she was and was wearing a revealing twopiece   g-string bottom

she had the kind of ass to pull it off 
                                        was an esthetician   had esthetician friends
YEOW

for whaever reason the party moved inside the house leaving him alone by the pool with her

smartly
        he was in the pool

they made small talk

hit it off
         she said she knew of him through their host who had been threatening a pool party the whole summer

she was the hosts esthetician he enjoyed her giving him facials  manicures

she suggested he might like to partake

he said no

Not manly?

Not only not manly I cantwoudnt afford it   Priceyyah

she admitted it was

he thought then that maybe the conversation was a business pitch things might end there

he was wrong
               gratefully


What kind of game?

Originally I thought strip poker  but youre nearly there

she laughedblushed
                     I didn’t choose to wear this suit, Mike did. He said I’m not going to look like this forever so I ought to flaunt it.  This isn't me.        
Looks like you
her blush compounded

   Colour looks good on you Like the suit
                                              Mike likes to flaunt you

I wouldn't say that.  He treats me wellreally well, and, well, as I said, he picked it out for me.

Ill have to thank him

she laugheddidnt cover her mouth had really sweet dimples matched her personality I think at this gathering you might be the only one who will, as I understand who you are, at least as Jerome describes you.
                                                                                           I have to admit that another reason for coming today was for the opportunity to meet you.
he almost thought it was his turn to blush but withheld it
                                                        Thank you  Thas kind of you

Like you say, or I understand you to say, I’m not kind.

You look kind

Thank you. Actually I’m kinda bitchy . .
. . A perfectionist Kinda goes with the job yes

   Yes. You get it.

I get it An Im sure your clientele demands it

Yes. They keep me on tenterhooks.

Tha Id like to see
                   Id bet youd look good tied up in knots

There you go. Just as Jerome said.

Said

You’re . . . your delivery is charmingdespite . despite its content. He says you say things he’d never say.

No Hes a nice guy

He is.
          So what game?

Free Association

That is . . .

We say a word the other responds immediately verbalises without censorship whaever it is no matter how illogical irrelevant
Embarrassing?

I woudnt say embarrassing  Are you embarrassed easily

I may be.
            You arent though. 
Im not
      No   I am not

Are you a psychologist?

Im nothing

What do you do?

I read
       Youre welcome to ask me what Im reading Ive never identified myself by wha I didall the different things I did  Though perhaps to satisfy you  I can say I eluded a career

questioning himself
                     How longs it been since we talked  realised how shabbyCalled

Hey dude!nice surprise.

Been laidup. Three days ago went to the Walgreens to get my CoVid shot and the gal recommended I also get the RSV and Shingle shots.
Whas RSV

. . Easy for you to say
I had to think hard.
                      Respiratory syncytial virus vaccine.

   Thas a mouthful good thing its an injection rather than a pillyoud choke on it

Yeah. she laughed  You’re right there.

If it were a pill whaflavor ya think it might be Or woud you prefer

It’s an injection.
If it were a pill  woud it be tasty or taste like assI think medications ought to taste like shit to incentivise us to maintain our health

Sometimes we get sick.

Infected by someone else

Yes.

Incentivise us to have incentivised friends

Really?

Kind of a dog chasing its tail huh

Kind of.

Three shots in a sitting

Yes.

Howd she convince you of tha

She saidinsisted . that’s how they were doing it at Walgreens.

All in one arm

No.

One each in the arm and the third in the ass

It’s Walgreens.

Didya ask

Ask?

Take me in the back an give it to me in the ass

   No.

Thas how Id take it In the ass
                                     he coudnt help himselfno straightface  burst out laughing
Cracking yourself up huh?
                              Pretty suggestive.
Yathink

                 finally she giggled
Thank Gawd
             Was thinking Id never play strip poker with you  Great pokerface over the phone

You’re terrible.

Didnt tha seem unlikely   Odd

I thought it was odd.

But she convinced you

She did, well, not convince me, informed me that’s how they were doing it if someone was having the three shots, saved them from returning again or againanagain

Makes sense

Made sense to me

So
     Did it occur to you tha after she gave you the injections she went back into the Pharmacy an closing the door behind herselfleaning against it began laughing  quietly  gave thumbs up to the staff tha she stuck another sucker three times theyre having a contest among themselves  maybe a pumpkin in the offing for Halloween for the winner

   You’re . .
. . If I was running the Pharmacy Id make it a contest

You cut me off. You’re sick.
No
    I like making work fun  Id bet theyre not but if I said so in any pharmacy in any drugstore theyd be WOWed by the idea

No.

Oh Sorry the clinician laid you up for  three  was it three or just two days
