“Be a good girl, Angeline, and turn around for me?”
Not entirely a question, not entirely a request, not entirely a demand. I turn around obediently and feel your hand press into my back.
“Bend over Angeline.”
I tip forward and catch myself on the hood of your car. Looking back, I catch you admiring me, and I smile at you.
“Eyes forward,” you tell me with just a hint of menace.
I murmur an apology, and turn back to look over your hood at the Atlantic Ocean and the few remaining sunbathers that dot the beach. I feel your foot between my feet, prodding them apart; I feel like I’m being arrested. You walk around me, talking under your breath, but I can’t hear what you are saying. Finally you come back and put your hands on my sides; I love the strength of them. I feel you lean into me until your mouth is by my ear, and you whisper.
“Have you done your homework?”
I nod breathlessly that I have.
“I won’t be disappointed? I’d hate to be disappointed.”
I shake my head that you won’t.
“Tell me.”
“You won’t be disappointed.”
“Good girl.”
I feel my skirt rise up my thighs until it rests on my back. The ocean air is cool on my bottom and on my legs. Your fingers hook into the elastic of my panties, and pull them down till they are halfway down my thighs. I feel so vulnerable and foolish bent over like this, and I have to fight my instinct to stand and cover myself. But I want so badly for you to see, so I stay where I am.
“Oh good girl,” you murmur.
Your hand drops and tests the pink plastic handle protruding from my bottom. Gently, you pull on it but it doesn’t budge. I rest my forehead on the cool hood of your car and command myself not to hyperventilate. I want you to ask me about shopping for it. I want you to ask me about how hard it was to get in. About it’s size and shape and the awful way it opened me up. I think I’ve earned that much, but you don’t ask, you take it for granted that I’ll do whatever you suggest. It hits me that I prefer it that way, and the thought reddens my face.
You leave me standing bent over your hood, and sit down on the car beside me. I dare a glance upwards. You are surveying the parking lot. You spot something and hop up and trot away from me. I want to look back and see what it is, but I remember the last time, and the way you tricked me and caught me disobeying you. I’m not prepared for that again.
I wait, trying to forget how silly I must look, and watch a man running with his dog down by the water.
You return, but you aren’t alone.
“Angie, this is Davy. Davy, Angie.”
“Jesus Christ dude.”
The voice is so young. What are you up to?
“Dude are you sure this is cool?”
“Angie, tell Davy, it’s cool.”
You’re really working me over; you know what this is doing to me – to have to submit to this boy.
“Davy, it’s cool.”
“So Davy, are you still interested in what I mentioned?”
“Ah, yeah, that would be really cool. Man I wish Tim was here, he’s never going to believe this shit.”
“Well why don’t you go ahead and tell her what to do.”
“Me? Okay, sure man, but you’re sure I can’t touch her?”
“No touching, Davy.”
“And I have to stand here?”
“That’s the deal. If you move, Angie will stop, we’ll get in our car and leave.”
“Okay, that’s cool, man. Whatever. So can I just tell her to?”
“She’s all yours, Davy.”
I haven’t been this tense since the time I thought I was pregnant. I just want to know what is coming, or even to see the face of this boy behind me.
“Angie?” Trying to sound sure of himself. How sweet.
“Yes Davy?” Trying to sound sure of myself. It’s a battle of wills, even if I know I’m going to lose.
“I want to watch you masturbate.”
You don’t say anything; so I know this was your idea. That this is what I’m supposed to do.
