by Violet Blue
“I love you.” Someone says that now in the dark. And your mouths are occupied so it must be me. You kiss my inner thigh like a kiss of secret code. Strange how we know each other so well after a silence of thirteen years. Strange we didn’t know how to move toward each other back then. But all that is past as you pull your cock away from D.J. and crawl up my body to kiss me for the first time, hot and slow and real. This is the dream I dreamed at seventeen, at twenty-six, in bed with men who weren’t you. Your mouth and body covering mine until my every sensation is you.
Snowflakes tumble and blow past the windows like pale blue furies. In their light, D.J. looks confused and a little disturbed as he curls next to us. I pet his hair and he looks back at you.
But you’re looking at me. Because I’ve always been your dream, too. This is the unlikely coda to a symphony performed only in our minds. You bite my throat and nipples, run your tongue around the undercurve of my breasts, squeeze my ass with a groan. Doing everything we didn’t do before, every wish that was lost to chance and shyness. Your whole body is shaking as I take your cock in my hands. Touching you feels almost hallucinatory and I want to stroke and lick you from your eyelids to your toes. But your hard dick is sticky with precome and throbbing against my fingers in a plea for relief, so I open my legs.
In one swift move, you pin down my arms and push all the way inside me. Your thick cock fills me completely until I feel almost impaled. This is really happening. Euphoria electrifies my every cell.
“This time I’m not going to stop,” you say in my ear, so D.J. can’t hear. I wrap myself around you as tight as I can. And that’s how we correct destiny, your wet skin slapping mine and your face floating in the dark like a mirror. Your back rises and falls, muscles straining under my fingers until I can smell every animal part of you. Without warning, you roll me onto my stomach and fuck me from behind until I’m moaning and crying into the mattress. Your fingers pull and slap at my ass, every thrust of your hips driving me deeper into a delirium of memory and bliss. I slide my hand underneath to stroke my clit until my spine feels split open with heat and I dissolve into a wet, shuddering second orgasm.
The snow will descend all night. We’re fucking in a museum of lost love, an exhibit of the futility of preservation. An icy draft from the windows drifts over our skin but we keep bucking, clawing, riding each other. All our potential watches from the dark as we immolate the past with every thrust. Here in this house of stopped clocks and paralyzed rooms, our bodies are burning like live wires and we won’t stop, resurrecting fate like magicians of time.
