And, like a dancing candle flame, the revelation gutters and hides itself once again.
“More,” I say hoarsely. “Show me more.”
Zenny gives me a look that’s the swirling crossroads between mischief and virtue, and then she spreads her legs wider and pulls the crotch of her panties to one side.
I groan at the sight. She’s all soft and small there, with the tiniest glimpse of where my cock will go and with an obvious glisten along the tight line of her folds.
“Your cunt is wet,” I say.
She nods, giving her kitty a little stroke with her other hand. She shivers at her own touch.
“Was it wet last time we did this?”
She nods again, squirming on the counter.
“Did you have to go home and use your teddy bear? Did you have to rub your poor little clit until you felt better?”
“Yes,” she confesses, her head dropping down. I realize she’s looking at herself, taking in the picture the hiked-up dress and cotton panties make, and I take in the picture she makes as she looks at herself—the gold stud glinting from her snub nose, the aroused part of her lips, the long sweep of eyelashes against her cheek.
“Tell me,” I say, stepping closer, running my hands up her thighs. “Tell me what you did.”
“I—I—” She shivers again. “I needed it so much. After you left, I went straight back to my dorm. My roommate was out and I just…” She’s squirming with the memory.
“Did you pretend it was me?” I ask, letting my thumbs play against the wet silk of her cunt. “Did you pretend you were riding me?”
“Ah,” she gasps because one thumb has started circling her clit while my other thumb has plugged her opening. “Yes. I pretended it was you. I pretended that you never stopped; that you took one look at my pussy and knew you had to fuck me right then and there.”
I nip at her jaw and then reach in my pocket for my wallet, digging out a condom.
“This time, I will,” I say. “This time we don’t stop.”
I tear at the condom wrapper with my teeth, tear at my jeans, and soon I’m rolling the sheath over my erection and feeling the Pavlovian pulse of excitement as I do. I’ll be inside her soon, I’ll be fucking that tempting pussy, I’ll have a nun speared on my cock and writhing in pleasure.
“It never gets old watching you do that,” she whispers. Her eyes are on my cock, which is hard and dusky-red and shining with latex. “It’s so sexy.”
I step between her legs again and both of us look down. All fucking is carnal, of course, but there’s something extraordinarily carnal about this sight: both of us still dressed, her knee socks and her innocent panties held to the side for me, her postulant’s uniform shoved up around her waist. My cock, hard and rude and male, demanding to be taken between her legs.
But Zenny’s innocence will always be tangled up in her boldness, in her fearless ability to want, and she takes the aching part of me in her hand and rubs me against her pussy. I let her use me however she likes—the blunt, round crown against her firm budded clit, long sweeps through her folds, the occasional shy brush against her taut asshole—and then when I’m shaking with the effort to hold still and let her play with me, she finally wedges me at the source of all her wet and whimpers for me to push in.
I do.
It’s shocking how tight she is. Every fucking time. I mean, all women are—I’ve never met a pussy that didn’t feel good on my cock—but Zenny’s is some magnitude of heaven I’ve never felt before. She holds me like a glove, tighter than a glove, and when I get so deep that the tip of me is in her belly, she flutters and grips me tighter. And when I slide out, her body tries to hold me in, greedy and hungry for my organ.
I cup her ass in my hands and start fucking her cunt in earnest, and her hands leave her panties and go everywhere—to tangle in my hair and to rub against my beard and to fist up my shirt so she can see my stomach muscles working to fuck her.
“Sean,” she says. She says it possessively, like it’s her name to say, and it is, it is, I want my name to belong to her for the rest of my life.
“Yes, darling?”
“Harder.”
I go harder, making sure to drag my cock out at just the right angle, making sure to rub against her clit as I sink all the way in. I relish the feel of her ass in my hands, the blue glimpse of her schoolgirl socks out of the corner of my eye. The awakened, happily agitated look on her face as she stares down at where I move between her legs. The cross necklace sliding and jumping along her chest as I thrust.
“Does this little nun need to be fucked?” I murmur to her. “She’s gone too long without it and now she has to have it?”
“Yes,” she squeezes out, eyelashes fluttering as she looks up at me with eyes the color of treasure and earth. “Oh, yes, Sean—oh, oh—”
“I’ll fuck you anytime you want, little nun,” I say into her ear, my arms cradling her back and head as I drive into her down below, picking up the power and pace and letting her feel my strength. “Anytime you want.”
And it’s as she’s coming with a bowstring-tight cry that I hear what I just said, and what I just said slices a gash of hope right across my open heart. Maybe we don’t have to end with her vows, maybe she’ll interpret the vow of chastity as loosely as the radical sisters around her interpret obedience. Maybe I can be her lover still, a cicisbeo to a bride of Christ.
She salts the hope-gash within seconds of it opening; as she comes down from her climax, clinging helplessly to my shirt, she murmurs, “I’m going to miss you so much.”
It’s said in a gauzy, fuzzy way, the kind of careless words that slip out in the unguarded softness after orgasm, and I can tell by the way she continues to cling and sigh as I chase my own release that she doesn’t know how that simple comment has gutted me, how it’s punctured something vital and now I’m bleeding everywhere between us.
She’s going to miss me.
She’s going to leave me.
And I’m going to die when she does.
“Come inside me,” she says into my chest. “Come lots.”
“Can’t,” I grunt. “Can’t.”
I pull out, my wet erection resting on her belly and then it happens. I come lots, making a few short, staccato strokes along her stomach as pleasure hooks hard in the pit of my belly, and then I fill the condom with a ragged breath, pulsing heat while my cock throbs right above where her womb is inside. The thought makes me come even harder, like a primal caveman eager to spend inside a woman and plant his child there.
But there will be no child, and there is no claiming.
God claimed her first.
I keep her close until the last jerks have settled, and when I pull away, Zenny coos appreciatively at how much I’ve given her, which sends a jolt to my flagging dick.
“Can I throw this away in here?” I ask, nodding my head to the condom.
Zenny laughs. “It won’t be the first time there’s been a condom in the shelter trash.”
I tie up and clean off, but when I’m turning back to Zenny as I’m tucking myself away and zipping up, I find her completely naked and leaning against the counter with not a single stitch of clothing left on her body except those damned knee socks.
“More,” she says simply. “I want more.”
I prowl to her, a growl rising in my throat. “More of me?”
“Yes,” she says, her tongue running along the top edge of her teeth.
“More of these things you’ll miss?”
If she hears the bitterness in my voice, she doesn’t let on.
“Yes.”
I trap her naked form between my arms, bracing my hands at the edge of the counter around her hips. “And what will you miss, Zenny? When you become a nun, when you marry God?”
“Your cock,” she says bluntly. As unhappy as I am with the turn her thoughts have taken, I’m proud of her for using the filthy words I like. I’m proud of her boldness.
“It’s yours. Anytime you
want it. What else?”
“Mmmm, your mouth,” she says, and I take my cue to chase kisses all down her neck and between her breasts and along the firm skin of her belly. I sling her leg over my shoulder and open up her sweet cunt to my mouth, and then I show her all the tricks and twists and hungry sucks that will make her miss my mouth all the more.
Her hand tangles hard in my hair and yanks, I can hear the rasp of her knee sock against the waffle-weave of my henley and it drives me crazy, I swear to fucking God.
“I’ll miss your fingers,” she moans, as my hands get to work.
“The scruff on your jaw,” she says, as I leave her rough scruff-kisses on the inside of her thighs.
“The way you look at me when you’re eating my cunt, like you want to eat my heart.” And sure enough, I’m looking up at her from between her legs, making sure she sees how wet my mouth is every time I pull away for a breath.
“What else?” I rasp against her flesh. “What else?”
She hesitates and then plunges ahead. “Feeling you come inside me. For real.”
That makes me pause. Think. Stand up.
“Keep going,” I order.
“Wondering if you made me pregnant.” Her voice drops to a whisper. “Being pregnant.”
Oh my God, this woman. This woman and my poor, aching cock, hard all over again for her. Because of her.
I splay my hand across her tummy, low and insistent and selfish. “My baby here?” I ask, in a dangerous purr. “You’d miss feeling my baby grow inside you?”
“Yes,” she confesses. “Wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t you miss it?”
“Of course I would. Of course I do.” I keep my hand large and demanding at her belly while I kiss her until she can barely breathe. “I think about it all the time. Every waking moment and then it’s in my dreams too. You carrying my baby. You nursing my baby.”
At the word nursing, I pluck gently at one of her nipples, and it’s as if I’ve struck a gong somewhere inside her. The tiny movement seems to reverberate through her body, sending goose bumps hurry-scurry all over her flesh.
“Fuck,” she mumbles, and I have to smile because she sounds like me. I bend down and lick at the furl I’ve just touched, opening my mouth and running my tongue along her areola, across the tip of her nipple in gentle flickers.
Then I stand up. “What else?”
“Marrying you,” she whispers, and then she looks away like she can’t bear her own words.
My heartbeat is threatening to vault right out of my chest. Could she actually love me back? Babies and marrying—those are love actions, love words, surely she means that she misses the chance to do them with me and not just in general—
I’m going to tell her. Right now, when our hearts are full and honest and raw with appetite. I’m going to tell her.
But she beats me to speaking. “I want you to fuck me,” she says, voice growing shy. “…back there.”
I’m so tangled up in practicing my declaration of love that I very nearly miss this. “Pardon me?”
“I mean…anally,” she says, and the kitchen light is too dim for me to see the reddish hue at the apples of her cheeks, but I know it’s there. “I want to try it at least once before…”
Before she leaves me.
God. How can that idea still hurt so much? How can it hurt more and more and more, like a train rolling over you, like being stretched on a rack, like being crucified?
Tell her now. Tell her so she knows.
I open my mouth again, but she is already taking my hand in hers, guiding it over the firmly plump curve of her ass. “Please,” she murmurs. “I don’t want anything left undone. Not a single thing.”
My heart hammers at my chest and my objections hammer at my skull and my cock—well, my cock is just as hard as a hammer, pushing against the teeth of my zipper like a cellmate trying to break free.
“I—”
“Sean,” she begs, spinning in my arms and leaning forward on the counter. The act turns her body into a buffet of tight curves and narrow lines, showing the clear dip of her waist and the edible swell of her hips. It also displays that firm, sweet ass. And the shadowed well between her legs.
Reasons why I should tell Zenny I love her right now:
1. I love her.
2. She needs to know.
3. She likes the honest guy thing.
4. An old nun told me to.
Reasons why I should wait to tell her:
1. She’s bent over a sink.
And really, I think, as I smooth interested hands over her waist and ass, I’m going to love her even more after we do anal, so what’s the rush? It can wait.
It can wait.
Except.
Sigh. Huff. Grumble.
“Zenny, we can’t do this here,” I explain softly. My hands are still everywhere on her, fondling and caressing and loving, despite my words, because fuck it, I can’t help it. Not when she’s like this, bent over and peering back at me with a daring kind of half-smile.
“Why not?”
“Because it’s a fucking kitchen,” I say, giving her sides a quick tickle as I say it.
She giggles at my touch, but then pouts at me. “I don’t want to wait,” she says. “I want to be able to look back and say I was spontaneous, say that for once I didn’t care about what anyone else thought, I didn’t do something to be the best at it. That I did it just because I wanted to. Just for me. I could barely make myself choose this in the beginning but now…” she gives me a shy smile. “Being with you has made it easier. It feels easy to demand the things I want. Good, even.”
Ugh, I hate all this casual talk of looking back, this implication of her future life apart from me…and yet at the same time, pride burnishes a warm glow inside my chest. Pride for her. If I couldn’t have my wish of worshipping her for the rest of my days, then this would be my second wish—that she’d grow into her own needs. That she’d find a balance between pouring her love into the world and loving herself.
But, be that as it may… “That makes me glad, sweetheart. I promise it does. But I don’t want to hurt you, and anal is, well, delicate, at the best of times.”
“Can’t we at least try?” she asks, wriggling her cute bottom at me, and it’s absurd that I, Sean Fucking Bell, am trying to talk a woman out of anal, but that’s what Zenny’s done to me. She’s unbuttoned me and shaken me out all over the ground and now I’m just a mess of jumbled pieces, nothing resembling the arrogant know-it-all I was just a few weeks ago.
“I don’t have toys to warm you up—”
“Use your fingers, then. Are you Sean Bell or what?”
“—or lube come to that—”
“It’s a kitchen! I’m sure there’s oil in here somewhere.”
“Baby, I can’t use a condom and oil. It will break the latex.”
There’s a pause, and I watch Zenny’s teeth dig into her lower lip. I think for a moment—with a rueful sort of relief—that she’s finally conceded, that she’s finally accepted that it’s bananas to have kitchen-sink anal, and then she says, “Then don’t wear a condom.”
This would be a good time for me to remember how to pray.
“Zenny…” I breathe. My hands are still on her body, rubbing circles and lines along her silk-soft skin. I know I should say more, I should resist, but being bare inside her…even if it’s just once…
“You’re clean, and so am I. And it’s not risking pregnancy,” she says, and then—sensing my weakness— “Teach me how it can feel good, Sean. Please.”
Fuck. I can’t refuse the teacher game and she knows it. I curl over her body, defeated, my willpower melted away like a snowflake on a tongue.
“Okay,” I mumble into the delicate bird-wing of her shoulder blade. “But you have to let me do it the way it needs to be done.”
“As long as you hurry up,” she says, wiggling against me. Fuck.
It takes me less than a minute to source a mostly full bottle of vegetable oil—I’
m very motivated—and then I’m covering Zenny’s body once again with my own. “Are you sure about this?” I say, kissing her ear. “Very, very sure?”
“Very, very,” she says impatiently. “Why is it when I want to speed up, you want to slow down—and then when I want to slow down, you want to speed up?”
I’m straightening now and unscrewing the bottle cap. “When has that last ever happened?” I ask, amused. “You’ve never wanted to slow down a minute in your life.”
“Not with sex. But with…other things. Feelings.” She stops, as if hesitant to say more.
The furrowed-out space in my chest aches with her implied meaning, aches more at the thought of telling her I love her. Would it be wrong to? If she has just said she wants to slow down with the feelings?
This is not ass-talk, I decide. Ass first. Orgasms for Zenny first. Then we talk.
“I’m just rubbing oil on you now,” I explain to the little nun in front of me, shoving my feelings to the side and focusing on her. Her pleasure. “I’m not going to press inside just yet.”
“Okay,” she says, and then hums a little as my finger brushes against the sensitive pleats, spreading oil warm and plenty over her.
“Now inside. Just like the plug, baby, you’ll push against me.” And then I gently, as gently as it can be done, work my finger inside the tight aperture. Inside, she is a furnace. A fucking furnace. A snug ring of muscle and a smooth sheath of heat behind it. My blood goes on fire, all at once, burning me up from the inside.
“Okay, this part you’ll help me with,” I say, taking one of her hands and guiding it to where my finger is burrowed inside her. “You’re going to replace my finger with yours…and then add a second one as soon as you’re comfortable. Yes?”
“Yes,” she says eagerly, already pushing at my hand to replace it. I let her, drizzling some more oil for her, and then while she fingers her own ass, I quickly toe off my shoes and tear off my jeans and shirt. She adds a third finger without me telling her to, and I abruptly lose the ability to breathe.
