Melanie is a devil, from the plastic tips of her horns to the shiny toes of her boots. Her boots deep-throat fish-netted legs. The legs disappear into a black miniskirt. The miniskirt leaks the dark frill of her panties onto her stomach. She wears the top button of a short-sleeve black button-down on her chest, letting the sides part in a triangle from her neck, revealing the soft bottom curves of her breasts.
The triangle points to her face, dark purple lips hooked into a sneer, almost-catty black frames of glasses straddling her nose, tightly-curled scarlet hair tumbling down from her head, and black little horns peeking out from that mess. Melanie has to be a devil, because her lover is an angel.
Float looks up as Melanie steps into the kitchen. Her angel is sitting on a wooden stool, hands folded in hir lap, feet perched on the horizontal rod connecting the stool’s front legs, clutching it between the pads of bare toes and the balls of hir feet.
Skinny, shaven and beautiful, Float wears nothing but a corona of black fuzz on hir head and a white babydoll riding high on hir chest, feathery wings sprouting from its back. Angels are born without sexes, Float tells Melanie.
Float looks up as Melanie approaches, gold-pupilled eyes flickering from hir lover to the short black riding crop in her hand and back. Hir mouth twitches indecisively toward a smile.
Melanie snatches another stool by its seat, tugging it over in front of her boifriend. She sits down on it, offering the fat leather head of the crop to her lover. Float reaches hir neck out to bite down on it, and Melanie pulls hir face close to hers.
She licks around Float’s chin and lips, then pushes the crop from hir mouth with her tongue, sliding inside for a long sloppy kiss. Melanie smiles as they part, a twistedly-dimpled smile. Float’s mouth is still twitching.
Melanie sets the crop aside, plucking from the waist of her skirt a pair of shiny metal handcuffs. Float’s eyes go wide when sie sees them. Melanie takes one cuff in each hand, slipping her fingers through them like big rings, and reaches out to offer them to Float, wrists together.
Now Float smiles, taking the cuffs and eagerly snapping them onto Melanie’s wrists. She bites her smile as Float takes a length of red-and-white-striped rope from the kitchen counter.
Float positions Melanie in the center of the floor, knotting one end of the rope around the chain linking her cuffs. Melanie faces forward as Float vanishes behind her. She hears the sound of a stool being moved.
