The back entrance to the apartment is through a quiet back alley. As quiet as it is, the scents are unforgettable. Garbage, excrement, dead rodents, rotting and torn mattresses, rigs and paraphernalia. All sure signs that there is life back there, pushed into the alcoves and corners, away from the clean and tidy appearances of the surrounding neighbourhood street.
It's here, just two paces past the double bolted door I had my keys out to unlock, that your hand playfully winds its way around my neck. Turning to face you, I expect a quick peck. The soft instinct of opening my front to you is interrupted by your force pushing me back onto the rough cement wall. The silky skirt around my hips catches delicately on the wall, leaving me struggling a bit to maintain some distance from the prickly surface that risks nicking the fragile fabric.
But you chuckle, and the glint in your eyes makes me smile back. A calm moment of feeling small and held, anticipating an imminent release to continue on our trajectory into the apartment. The hand on my neck, the positioning of our bodies against the wall, it's a frequent gesture of simple submission that I adore.
Open your legs.
I shuffle my feet apart, sensing a bit of worry now of who might be passing by the not-so-near entrance to the alley. My smile remains but firms up, I widen my eyes as if the wider they are the more I'll be able to pre-emptively understand what's unfolding. There is still hope for that quick peck.
Piss yourself, sweet girl.
