Something New

Glancing around, I saw a stack of empty five-gallon buckets and grabbed one. I could turn it over and stand on it to reach over the generator to the drain snake. Flipping the bucket over, I set it beside the generator and pressed my foot against the top to check the stability before hoisting myself up and balancing on what suddenly felt like a rather flimsy plastic cylinder beneath me. As I reached forward, the door creaked behind me. I turned, a shaft of sunlight thwarting my vision, and felt the sole of my shoe slip on the bucket. I shrieked as I grabbed futilely at the shelf, milliseconds from tumbling off my precarious perch.

Whoever had opened the door was at my side in a flash, and strong arms gripped me around the waist just in time. I winced as my full weight bore into the shoulder of the individual who quickly steadied me and braced me against them. As they allowed me to slide safely to the floor, I found my breath catching for reasons beyond the fear of falling. The panic from having slipped transferred seamlessly to arousal as I felt the hard muscles pressed against my body and the strength holding me in place. I swallowed, concerned that I knew who my rescuer might be and uncomfortable with this visceral reaction to his closeness.

Out of the Park

Viewed from above, the operation had the efficiency of an ant colony: myriad components maneuvering amidst and around each other, winding in and out of sight as they advanced their mission with seamless cohesion. I watched them like a film on mute, the silence perpetrated by the quarter inch of glass—and height of a couple hundred feet—between us.

“The crew is still on the field,” I murmured to my husband as I turned from the window.

Mark was sitting up in bed with his laptop on his thighs. He looked over as I spoke. “Does watching them clean the stadium turn you on as much as watching the game?” he asked slyly.

I smirked. It was one o’clock in the morning. Several hours before, I had stood at the same window, watching the teams take afternoon batting practice before we headed down to the lobby and across the street to the stadium. Now the grounds crew worked with a similar energy to restore the meticulousness of the baseball field in preparation for the next day’s matchup. Just as they had done the night before, and just as they would do after the game hours from now leveled the order they were so intricately putting together.

Cleaning in preparation for making a mess. Like getting dressed up to meet for a hot, messy fuck.

I smiled to myself, choosing not to encourage Mark’s mockery by sharing this analogy with him.

Before he could speak, she said, “Don’t go.”

“What?”

She glanced at him, then turned back to her drink. “I know you’re about to leave. I don’t want you to.”

He stared at her. She looked back at him. “I’m not very good at talking to people. It’s taken me a while to learn that I give the impression that I don’t want them around. Sometimes that’s true, but not always.” Her eyes flicked to the ground, then to the row of liquors lining the mirror behind the bar. “It’s not true now.”

Sean blinked. He wasn’t sure he’d ever met someone so simultaneously enigmatic and direct. Being around her was putting him through paces he was unused to: in a span of 20 minutes, he’d felt attraction, curiosity, sympathy, awkwardness, defeat, and something like poignancy. Was whatever was going on in this encounter worth what might come out of it?


Even as the question arose in him, Sean was aware he couldn’t know the answer. He was surprised to realize it didn’t feel as important to him as he expected.

Doubleheader

Evan suddenly seemed to pick up on something in Chad’s gaze, and for the first time, he appeared uncomfortable. “Well, I’m up soon,” he said, gesturing at the batting cage behind him. “Talk to you later, Rita.” He nodded at Chad and went to join some of his teammates along the batting cage.

Rita looked at Chad. “Were you sending him some kind of ‘back off’ signals only interpretable by testosterone or something?” she asked dryly.

Chad’s eyes were hard as he held her gaze. Rita clenched her teeth as she felt her stomach tighten—it was the same look he used to give her before he took her the rough way she loved. Though she hadn’t seen it in more than ten years, she remembered that look like it was yesterday. With all her effort, she maintained a social decorum rather than commanding Chad to fuck her right there. The annoyance she felt with him didn’t seem to hinder one bit how simultaneously turned on she felt.

“Should I have been?” Chad finally answered. He wasn’t smiling, and Rita didn’t know how to read the look in his eyes.

Charlotte looked at the picture for a long time, knowing the location would be instantly recognizable to Connie. “These are amazing,” she said finally, tearing her eyes from the photo to look up at him.

She caught a look in his eyes she wasn’t sure she was supposed to see. Gavin was watching her deeply, intensely, hungrily. Though she worried she’d caught him doing something he didn’t want her to, he didn’t look away, but rather cleared his throat and smiled as he sat back against the cushions.

“I’m so glad you think so. It was beautiful subject matter, of course. You have good taste.”

His eyes, Charlotte thought, still looked hungry. Flustered, she glanced away and said, “Can I get you something to drink?”

“Sure.” Gavin got up and followed her to the kitchen as she started listing what she had in the fridge. As she reached it, her gaze flicked to the window, and she paused.

“Snow’s really coming down,” she said, a note of concern in her voice as she watched the flurry of white on the other side of the glass. “I hope you’ll be able to get out okay. I’ll feel really bad if you get stuck here.” She turned back to him, realizing the words weren’t altogether true.

Gavin laughed, glancing behind her out the window. “I can think of worse things,” he said lightly.

Truth

My choice of sex work wasn’t just because I loved sex. I did, and do, but that wasn’t all that drew me to it. I wanted to contribute. I wanted to make a difference, to be unique in the world, offer my service in the way that most benefited the universe. I didn’t feel that with any of the traditional business-oriented options available to me.

I did find it in talking to people—people I met at bars, on the subway, at the grocery store, on the sidewalk. When they were men, I sometimes had the feeling—and sometimes it was stated straightforwardly—that they wanted to fuck me. Men like the one sitting in front of me right now. And frequently, I found I felt the same way. Even if I hadn’t been initially attracted to them, if they seemed to want that of me—even if they were trying very hard to hide it, as some of them did—it touched me. It didn’t offend me, it didn’t appall me, it didn’t infuriate me. And it didn’t just flatter me either. It touched me. It told me they were looking for something. Something they might not have always found it so easy to find.

Fireworks Display

All four doors of the vehicle opened, and I watched as one young male figure after another emerged. All in all the truck was full of six young men, probably in their early twenties. I ogled them shamelessly in the mirror, knowing they didn’t see me and likely didn’t even realize anyone was in the car. They all climbed on top of the cover over the truck bed, conversing noisily.

A low heat started in my stomach. Cock times six was arranged just a few feet behind me, and they didn’t even know I was there.

Rules

Joyce’s jaw dropped. She had never heard Pete talk quite that way before—nor had she heard the tone of voice with which he had said it. The energy she’d felt in the lobby came flooding back—a mix of arousal, self-possession, power, and freedom. It was a way she was unused to feeling in the last decade, and for a second she was almost lightheaded.

The elevator dinged as it halted. Pete grabbed her waist and pulled her close, but just as he seemed about to kiss her, he turned her roughly around and nudged her through the doors, his long strides behind her as they walked down the hall single file. Apparently she wasn’t moving quite fast enough for him, because a second later Pete had stopped and scooped her up in his arms, eliciting a gasp of surprise from Joyce, who was aware that anyone they met in the hall now was going to get a clear view of just how few undergarments she had on.

As they reached their door, Pete maneuvered his arm to hand her the key cards he’d been carrying. Joyce pulled one out of the small envelope and slid it into the metal door handle. When the little light turned green, she pulled down on the handle, and Pete shoved the door wide open with one foot.

Somehow it wasn’t until that moment that Joyce realized she was breathless, that she had been since the elevator, and that she was all but panting now as her body reminded her she needed to breathe. At the same time she became acutely aware of the swelling in her clit and how much she wanted her husband—any part of him—to touch her there. Now.

Midnight

The wait staff at the fondue restaurant converges on our table, singing “Happy Birthday” in charming unison as the single candle in one of the bite-sized pieces of pound cake in front of me is lit. I smile and thank them before blowing it out, earning a smattering of applause before the staff disperses amidst a chorus of well-wishes.

Matthew smiles at me as he picks up a fondue fork. I spear a marshmallow and dip it into the pot of dark chocolate between us. As I begin to lift it out, I feel a gentle pressure on my fork impeding the motion. I start to protest until I see the mischievous look on Matthew’s face. He’s nudging my marshmallow with the strawberry he’s just covered in chocolate.

“My strawberry is getting it on with your marshmallow,” he taunts quietly as he presses the berry against the white confection, smearing chocolate all over it as I giggle. He re-dips his strawberry and lifts it over the marshmallow, drizzling chocolate down onto it in a steady stream. “It’s coming all over her face,” he whispers with a grin.

At that I laugh out loud. At the same time, I feel the tiny, unexpected jolt of electricity from the depths of my belly to my clit. I watch as Matthew exerts the tiniest bit of force to trap my fork with his, the submission of my utensil solidified with the clink of metal and my inability to extract it from beneath his.

I bite my lip. As he slides his fork down mine like a dominant sword, I remind myself that it’s just fondue—there’s no reason to get so excited.

Payback

I knew I would see him while I was here—it was too small a place to avoid it. Granted, the parking lot of the ice cream shop directly across the street from a certain new hotel wasn’t the most inconspicuous place I could have hidden, had I wanted to.

“I heard you were in town. Glad I ran into you.” Phillip’s eyes flicked to the building at which I had just been staring, and I could hardly imagine he wasn’t recalling the same things I had when I’d driven by the night before.

He was still hot, though the swaggering “bad boy” demeanor didn’t do as much for me now as it had back then. His dark hair fell almost to his eyes, and the athletic frame he’d sported in high school was still intact.

His gaze ran up and down me as his grin grew a little wider. He walked in front of me and leaned against the wooden fence along the edge of parking lot, resting his thumbs in the pockets of his jeans.

“So. How’ve you been?”

I suspected his thoughts were on something other than the question as I joined him against the fence and faced out toward the hotel.

Delivery

Wesley had been in Las Vegas since Monday for an IT conference, where his company was presenting the product rollout he’d been overseeing for months. Realistically, I knew there would be no sneaking away from my own plans tonight: my sister was the reason we were all gathering here in Vegas, and it would be inexcusable for me to back out of any of her bachelorette festivities, no matter how much I wanted to get laid. And in order to keep up with the launch schedule back home, Wesley would have to leave for the airport around 5:00 the next morning. Regardless, remote as it was, just the possibility of a rendezvous in my favorite city set off a tingle of giddiness in me.

Our bachelorette quartet was staying at the Venetian. The cab dropped me off, and I swished through the revolving doors out of the baking heat and into the elegant, high-ceilinged lobby. Like many front lobbies of the extravagant hotels on the Strip, it held a muted air of elegance and sophistication. Underneath it, however, ran the unmistakable current of the decadence and hedonism Sin City’s reputation promised—and which it did its best to deliver.

When the bill had been paid and the party started to break up, Brooke kissed my cheek as we stood to say our goodbyes. Catching Brad staring, she looked directly at him and said, “Would you like to come with us, Brad?”

“Hell, yeah.” Brad almost dropped his glass in his rush to set it down. He stood up, a cocksure demeanor indicating that perhaps he really had assumed the invitation would be forthcoming all along. I shook my head to myself.

“You’re ready to join in however we ask? Because I can assure you, Brad, you won’t just be watching.” Brooke’s smile was calm, her gaze on Brad steady.

“Of course I want to join in.” He looked as if she’d asked if he’d be willing to win the lottery, and I spoke up.

“Even if what we do seems a little…unorthodox?”

He grinned at me, his blue eyes sparkling as he said, “You bet, sweetheart. I’d love the chance to get into whatever you two have going on.”

Lifeline

Chelsea worked to catch her breath. She had wondered sometimes if her infatuation inadvertently helped her with business. Potential customers may not know the cause of the flush on her cheeks or the shimmer of moisture on her naked pussy as she twirled around the pole. But they may appreciate them nonetheless—never knowing they were the result of the stunning woman making the rounds in her trademark white seven-inch heels, the aura of perfection Chelsea saw in her emanating like a cloud of perfume.

As Chelsea dipped low now, focusing her gaze on the circle of customers surrounding the stage, she felt the blood rushing to her clit—but it wasn’t because of the excitement of the spotlight, the men looking hungrily at her from the front row and back as far as the bar to the side of the stage. It was because of that kiss, the innocent gesture Jocelyn had undoubtedly offered with the same casualness she had her smile, but that sent Chelsea’s imagination into places wet with desire. Her mind whirled with images of Jocelyn’s stunning dark hair thrown back as she thrust her bare breasts toward Chelsea’s mouth, of Chelsea’s fingers plunging deep into the hot recesses of her desire, her body—her soul.

A scattering of applause startled her from her reverie as her first song ended. Flushed and out of breath, she found herself in a position she didn’t remember getting into, on her knees with her thighs splayed wide, her hands gripping her breasts.

A Few Hundred Dollars

“Sit.” I barely recognized my own voice. It was not the harsh, commanding tone so well-practiced in my professional days, but nor did it sound the way I was used to hearing myself sound. There was a neutrality in it, but with an intrinsic authority that required no trace of force or effort. As though it wasn’t really even coming from me.

I turned and went to the closet. Even in the dark, I found what I was looking for as soon as I opened the doors. I walked back to the chair where Eric now sat, bundles of rope, a ball gag, and a knife in case of emergency in my arms. I’d grabbed the box of condoms too, and I made sure Eric saw me toss it casually to the floor. I set the knife on the carpet and went to work.

Nothing complicated, no fancy rope work—all I wanted was to hold him in place. I secured his hands together behind the seat of the chair and made quick work of binding his ankles to each of the front legs. The gag, one of my favorite components, was last.

Apple Blossoms

It happened that Brooke and I did not define our partnership as strictly monogamous, though our respective play beyond the relationship had tapered considerably in the last few years. While both our multi-partnered and kinky proclivities had flared with gusto during the first couple years we were together, for the past few such outside interaction had maintained a contented trickle. Our kinky play as well was now practiced almost solely between the two of us, and as often as not, our sex was vanilla.

But that was all by conscious and considered choice, and the inclination, desire, and experience were still there for both of us if the opportunity arose. When Brooke caught my eye, there was a gleam in hers that I recognized. I held back a smile. The proposal I saw in them was something we hadn’t done in a while, probably a couple years if I remembered correctly. But that gleam told me she felt the opportunity had arisen.

With my look back, I answered.

The Beast Within

The man in front of her had a tall, sturdy, and potentially intimidating build as he stood with his arms crossed behind his desk to greet her. His hair was dark and longish, his suit tailored to fit his bulky frame flawlessly. The truth was that Heath was a handsome man, but no one who worked for him even noticed his physical attractiveness anymore, so accustomed were they to the hideousness of his demeanor.

It was when Julie looked into the man’s eyes that she saw what her father had warned her about. They appeared flat, dark with hostility and emanating an energy about as welcoming as a prison. In fact Heath had eyes of a lovely bright blue, but they had reflected darkness so long that they appeared to most who looked at him now as simply black. […]

Though Julie was a clever girl and had discerned an understanding of many things about Heath thus far, she was unaware that an unwanted attraction he felt toward her was making him even edgier than usual. He felt no desire to give in to any kind of connection with anyone, and the carnal pull inside him whenever the image of the beautiful young woman floated across his mind was something he simply clenched his jaw against and pushed from his awareness, as he had so many other things.

We entered the crowded midway, where excited screams overlapped the whistles and jingles of various games and attractions and hundreds of multilevel voices. Gears and levers cranked around us as we approached the Tilt-A-Whirl, and we waited in the short line for the current ride to come to an end. Travis pulled a folded stack of tickets from his pocket as he approached the conductor, and our matching boot thumps rattled the metal as we ascended the steps and walked around to a car. Travis stepped back to let me in, flashing me a smile as I slid past him and dropped onto the bench. I watched out of the corner of my eye as he settled in beside me.

“I hope this ride’s okay with you,” it occurred to me to say.

Travis’s grin made me catch my breath, and suddenly there was no longer a question that we both knew what we were doing. “It’s fine with me. I just wanted to offer something slow to start with, not knowing what you liked.”

The ride began to move, crawling slowly for the first few seconds. “Yeah, I’m more of a wild ride girl myself,” I said lightly as I rested my hands on the silver safety bar.

Carly walked behind him down the steep staircase in the dark, glancing ahead to the shadows on the concrete floor. She narrowed her eyes at a large shape she didn’t recognize as they reached the bottom.

David turned on the light. Carly blinked.

The basement no longer held farm equipment. At least, not in sight.

She looked around, keeping her expression neutral, though not without effort. The shape she had seen was a cross, life-size, with wrist and ankle cuffs attached and dangling from it. Carly wasn’t entirely sheltered enough to not know what it was for, but she had never seen one in person. Beyond the cross was a sawhorse that looked ready for its traditional purpose except for the black padding across the top and leather cuffs identical to the ones on the cross attached to each of the four legs.

I sat on the bench perpendicular to his desk, and he smiled and turned back to his computer. I didn’t need to look at Dominic to feel the way he was affecting me. It happened just from being in the same room with him. It was something that went beyond looks, beyond personality, beyond simple attraction. It was pure heat, like a raw power of undiluted wanting, craving, hunger. I felt it when I watched the nonchalance with which he taught the methodology used by the Israeli army for hand-to-hand combat, a methodology designed, ultimately, to kill people. I watched the skill, control, focus of the lightning flashes of movement, the cracking thuds against padding that seemed effortless to him and felt the raw heat in my core. Every movement he executed was exactly what was called for, nothing more, nothing less. He didn’t execute power just for the sake of executing power. Power was cultivated in him so deeply that it simply came out when needed.

I wanted to fuck him so badly I could hardly stand still.

To Make It That Way

Thus began what seemed like a sudden double life for me. I still hung out with my friends on weekends and most other times we usually had. But sometimes I disappeared for a while. I often lost track of time when Cole summoned me — or, considerably less often, when I called upon her — to get together for one of our fervent, marathon, phenomenal sex sessions that left me feeling like the rest of the world had evaporated or that we’d stepped onto another timeless planet for a while. Not many people even knew about her, and those that did didn’t hear much about her. She slipped in and out of my life like an intoxicating scent — not there for long, but hitting with such force that it left an impression time has its work cut out to erase.

Shift Change

The more I watched him, the more mesmerizing he became. He wasn’t the kind of guy I usually found myself attracted to, the kind that turned my head on the street and brought an unsolicited “fuck me please” forward in my brain. He was the kind that was necessary to watch like this, instigator of a quieter kind of attraction that came out only when all the characteristics that showcased his sexiness — focus, intensity, knowledge — came together for display. Even when he spoke, he did so with concise, no-nonsense syllables in a tone neither dull nor distant. Everything about his professional focus and action seemed to flow, but in a very structured manner. Like liquid through a straw.

And suddenly I wanted him to direct that attention at me.

What We Do

Jackson’s mouth moved to my ear, one hand snaking around to the back of my neck and grasping my hair. I knew what was coming next, and a hot jolt of lust shot through me as he began to whisper in my ear. “You can fuck whoever you want when you’re here alone during the day, as long as you’re ready to bend over and take my cock at night when I get back. You want to spread your legs for all those hot young colleagues of mine, don’t you? I know you do. You like to spread the wealth of that hot pussy of yours like the little slut that you are.” I was panting, closer and closer to coming as Jackson pulled my hair even more tightly. His whispering voice continued. “You probably want to come down and take over the seminar I’m leading this afternoon, don’t you? You want to walk right up to the front, strip that hot body naked, and watch all those horny businessmen in their suits line up to fuck you while I supervise. I bet that’s exactly what you want, isn’t it, Victoria?”

With Random Precision” (now titled “More” as it appears in Safe: a collection of erotic stories)

I turned my head from my horizontal position and saw the candles lining the side of the room. The flames looked free, playful, full of movement, as though they were giggling at me as they showed off how much they could move while I lay solidly bound. I lifted my head to glance down at the shining purple coiled and knotted against my skin. Simultaneously, I heard the music. Quiet as it was, I hadn’t even noticed it while he was tying me up. It was so low I couldn’t even make it out. But I could feel it. I asked what it was.

“Floyd,” Max answered without looking up, working with the rope at my left thigh, coiling it around the leg of the ottoman.

. . . . Max shifted his hand. I felt the knot I had noticed earlier move slightly against my clit. The jolt of arousal that flooded through me stunned me as much with its unexpectedness as with its intensity. I looked at Max, who met my gaze and knew what he saw there.

Rain Check

“I want to lick your pussy,” he whispered, and I jumped ever so slightly. Partly, I couldn’t deny, because of the eroticism of the comment. My pussy, without any input from me, got wetter at the words. In the next instant, however, I felt the familiar self-consciousness sweep in and overcome.

Luke pulled my chin firmly with one finger to look at him when I ducked my head. “You don’t have to let me if you don’t want to. If you don’t want it, that’s fine. But please don’t say no because you think
I don’t want to.” He traced his finger lightly from my chin down to between my breasts, raising goosebumps all over my body. “Because I’m begging you,” he continued softly, flicking his tongue out to nip my slightly open lips. He moved his mouth back to my ear and whispered into it, “I want to lick you to climax.”

Wings and All

“Do you like it?” I turned around and looked over my shoulder, sensing my fuzzy yellow feeler springs bouncing as I craned to see the back of the frilly yellow tutu. I wiggled my hips and flipped it playfully, which wasn’t really necessary because it didn’t cover my ass even when it was placed properly. I beamed and turned my head back around, reaching for the elastic straps at my shoulders as I prepared to take the wings off.

Before I could, I felt Justin up against me from behind. Surprised, I started to turn, but he wrapped his arms around me, pinning my arms against my body and holding me in place […]

Justin pulled away slightly and spun me around, the black vinyl of my boots creaking as I moved. I caught my breath as he reached and cupped my crotch. My breathing continued in short gasps as he slowly maneuvered his fingers for a moment. Then his hand stilled; his eyes on mine, he suddenly gave a hard yank. Taken by surprise, I lurched forward against him as I heard the rip of my fishnets. Immediately I realized he had been maneuvering his fingers into their tiny holes to gain the leverage needed to tear them.

It worked. Obviously the wings weren’t the only part of this costume that was delicate.

Who’s on Top?

He turned to me. “So I’ve never had sex with a Yankee fan before,” he remarked.

I raised my eyebrows at him. “Gee, should I take that as an indication that you believe we’re going to have sex?”

He laughed. “Something about the look you’ve managed to give me even in your disgust at realizing I was a Bosox fan made me think that was maybe on your mind.”

I smirked. “Aren’t you perceptive. I was planning to fuck you from the second I met you.”

Turning to the TV screen, I took in the scene of the familiar stadium where I’d seen the same match-up in person many times. Instantly I felt the familiar energy of my disdain for the opposing team. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the same tension enveloping Corey.

He turned to me again. “Interested in making a little bet on this game?”

When I looked at him, the gleam in his eye made me have to actively hold back from jumping on top of him. “What kind of bet?”

He leaned in a little closer. “Winner gets to have his — or her — way with the loser, so to speak.”

I looked at him. “Excuse me?”

“Winner gets to dominate,” he explained.

Let It Snow

The next time I looked out the window, it was snowing again. It was peaceful at first, to match the night as it had been on my way over. After a while, however, I noticed it blowing and whirling, and I shivered as I thought of the short walk back to my apartment. The crowd in the bar dwindled as the weather grew rougher.

[…] Tyler spoke to the two patrons nearest him before making his way to me.

“We’re closing early,” he informed me. He looked at the window before continuing, “Weather’s getting really bad and supposed to get worse. Some of us live a ways away, you know, so we’re going to let everyone get out of here before we get snowed in.”

I nodded. “Where do you live?”

He named a neighborhood about a half hour away. I nodded again.

“Ty, you gonna try to make it home?” the other bartender called as he walked around and rejoined Tyler behind the bar.

Tyler shrugged and nodded.

“You could stay with me.” I said it with no preamble; I didn’t need any. While I didn’t usually need an excuse for such an invitation, this was certainly — finally — giving me one.

Deal

I didn’t have to bring my own music; we agreed to three songs, which I picked and he said he had. The right music is not only important but imperative when I strip. It is, after all, what makes me dance. All I had to bring to Devon’s place was myself and condoms, of which I made sure I had plenty. Devon and I had gone over the basic rules the night before when he gave me directions, and he seemed to understand them. I told him I’d go over them again before we got started.

I knocked on the door and waited. There was a fair amount of noise from behind the closed door, but it stopped when I stepped over the threshold.

Ten pairs of eyes beheld me, and I met each of them in turn.
