Insatiable

Insatiable
        “You kept me up all night!” she accuses.  Wild ash blonde hair a T and panties pouting pouring coffee. I admire her lithe figure long strong legs.

    “I was up early there are the flowers on the table. Cabal and I went for a run, then picked a few things up.” I answer. I sit at the table, and she brings 2 cups of coffee, Cabal wags at the mention of his name. And comes over to lie by me.
    “So you came home last night? You didn’t just jump in the shower wash her lip-gloss off your cock and change your clothes take Cabal around the block she says sarcastically. I click on Daft Punk walk over to her she’s absent-minded washing the same cup over and over.  I embrace her nibbling her neck undressing her find her mouth, as I fondle her nipple rings. On the floor, we fall sending Cabal looking for space. She’s got to be tired but I am not. She stands over me sliding out panties and tossing the T off saying I can’t be expected to reach my potential if I have to wear clothes. “
    “Insatiable slut” I growl
“Why you love me! Why you always come back to me!” she screams moans mounting me

wWash Away the skank
“At least wash the skank away before you get in bed” She accuses.
“I played at Gildersleeves” I answer. I stripped in the hall my jacket and boots soaked melting snow. I walk into the shower letting the jets coat me in warmth. I hear her, “There’s a bird in every pub when you’re trying to come ‘ome right mate” she mocks my accent. outside the shower curtain, I wait to watch in the fogged mirror. “Everybody knows’ how do you think I feel?” at that moment she turns her back
. I throw the shower curtain left her and bring her in the shower she protest’s  “ She’s  dressed  for bed so  I strip   off her T and panties, now we’re both starkers’ no secrets nothing to hide, “I fucking don’t care what everybody KNOWS, this what MATTERS HEAT, PASSION, LOVE. I come here because it’s HOME you’re ME  HOME
    “ I’ll wash away that SKANK she says wrapping her legs around me pulling me her pumping hips against me roughly. Screaming You forget them!” as we slide down into the huge tub kissing under the warm rain of the shower. The warm rain cleans off her angry and hurts as she moans, then screams. I get out kissing her shutting the tap. I grab a towel wrap her in it, and carry her to bed she looks tired, soft I kiss her and slide in next to her. She starts to say something I kiss her she closes her eyes and drifts to sleep the skank is gone.

 Like you hate me; not a love story in two acts.

 “I love this song! The svelte blonde tells me whiskey rocks in hand dancing in place, as” Hunger Strike” plays; “I’m Lisa ” she adds as an afterthought.
“Hi Lisa, having a good night?”
“Let’s see it’s Friday, I threw my husband Monday My kids ask for him, but I just met you so, it's a wash, “Lisa says with a sarcastic laugh. I signal for a refill I finish my drink in one long gulp
“That’s fucked.”
She laughs; you didn’t run “ she answers laughing it's a challenge she laughs.
I pass her a cocktail napkin, “these are all the things I am scared of.” I say
    She examines the napkins and flips its over. “”It’s blank,” Lisa said.
“By George, you’ve got it!” I answer “tell me about you?”
” My name is Lisa Beauchamp    “ My name is Lisa Ann Traveller I am 27 I work as an editor, and sometime writer at Nassau County News I have 3 kids, and until Monday I was married to a below average man who was an above average father.”
    That’s what you are bridge and tunnel frustrated wife, mother, now ex-wife. Conscientious mother and neighbour fit toned yoga body. I knew that when you walked in this place.  Warning; I won’t be validating emotions and feelings.  
“I didn’t drive into the city for that, She said leaning against me.
“Why did, you come?” I ask nibbling her neck.
    “I have been rationing my pussy because he didn’t deserve, I knew he was doing that fat cow.” She says going stiff then wrapping around me.
“I deserve it??” I ask,
No, but there’s a connection, and right now that’s all I need“ She answers.
“My place, which you realize is a forest of books, and art.
“My children are home, so the another option is the car and it’s a bit chilly. “ She says.
“I live around the way, ”I said she takes my hand. We walk no nervous small talk.
This is it. I say pointing at my building. She takes both my hands faces me and says” I haven’t been properly fucked in months. This is important, can you just fuck me like you hate me?”
“Ok,” I answer. We walk up to me flat.
“I have been numb so long I just want to feel something she says and kisses me at my door placing my hand on her breast. Inside is feverish undressing no conversation just raw passion. First against the wall, then the floor, then the bed. We only stop for wine. I admire her body so strong yet soft. We have undeniable chemistry. Finally, have a spliff and sleep.
I feign sleep as she dresses in the dark, and leaves

Love Story
    “What’s your story?” asked the tall brunette, with the bedroom eyes.
    “I wanted a drink, I came here,” I answer. I watch her scrutinizing me. I can already feel her embrace.
    “Nobody comes here by accident,” she says hands on her hips.
“I sussed this wasn’t the Russian tea room. I wanted gin, why do you care?” I answer. Taking her in khaki shorts, T-shirt, and flip-flops she’s not trying too hard in her 30’s. Still, I’m interested because there seems to be more to her than the feral vibe she’s giving. The feral vibe in a woman’s dirty thirties’ is to be expected. Yet there is depth, and challenge that tests me I buy her a drink and hand it to her.
“I don’t need small talk, “ She says.
“I am not looking to get to know the real you, you’re safe” I answer. I slide her a fiver, and she goes to the jukebox Prince she definitely passed the test. 1999 is coming on as she makes her way back to the bar. I take her hand and dance for a moment.  At the bar, she leans into me. I kiss her neck. She gives me a soft moan. We don’t really speak much. I look up its   last call. She says, “I am not looking for a husband. I am looking for multiple orgasms.
    “I can help with that” I answer.
    “Wow, you’re cocky.” She says “but I can work with that, can you handle a full grown woman?”
    “Let's roll, “ I say
    “Beach first lets swim first. She answers. I turn the car towards the beach.
    ‘Not exactly a love story she says.
    “Yeah, but I am thinking a good story.

NO promises

There is nothing 
Compelling

to be the person 
You were 20 minutes ago

Woman at boom
she carries a latte
she brings redemption

you don’t belong here
not protected
for this dark
fantasy
I MUST
Stay
immune

It will
Destroy 
YOU
This

Survivor

Victim

I’m the trigger
The bullet

03.10.16-Siren
deep underground  I hear her call 
arousing me
connecting to me as no 
creature of  light should
she cries from the rivers edge 
where mortals meet fate 
I hear her soft voice over the wails 
The damned
I slip off the crown of thorns 
Begin to ascend 
Hearing her above 
the lost souls
I rise
It will end in disaster
everything does
All that matters 
is 
 mystery
search
seduction
