-Sunflowers- A Short Backyard Erotica
I know you like flowers. I know you like how flowers feel against your skin, and how strawberries feel perched on your lips. I've seen you touch pears against your cheek, and press against your clavicle an apple that you brought to the beach for a snack while you lay in the sun reading.
A whole row of sunflowers grew in the yard this summer. I planted them when we started dating in the spring. After you moved in I remember finding you out there on misty August mornings, before work, walking up and down the row, touching the leaves and the bursting, burgeoning heads. There was a big mug of coffee in your hand. Your legs and feet were bare in the dewy grass. You were wearing one of my shirts.
It was already dark out when I came into the house for you around 7:00, determined to get you outside with me for what could end up being the last warm evening of the season. There was a bunch of cut flowers in my hand.
We kiss. It's a long kiss, and we have time to read each other's lips. The message is clear. Pulses flutter. I see your face turn a little pink. I feel my cock getting hard. I reach down and tug your shirt out of your pants and upward. You feel the back knuckle of my thumb touch the underside of your left breast. I tell you to hold your shirt up and close your eyes.
I put a hand on the back of your neck, thumbing the hairline, and kiss your forehead, then both your eyelids. I grab a big sunflower head from the table with my other hand. I tell you to guess the flower without opening your eyes. You smile and laugh through your nose.
I press the sunflower against your bared stomach. You make a little surprised puffing noise. "Sunflower." I reward you with a kiss, then it's time to guess another.
This time it's a lily. You guess it right, and ask me if you can smell it. I let you take a deep whiff before I kiss you again. You open your eyes to peek at it, so I bite your earlobe with playful but punitive firmness.
I savor the way your stomach moves with your breath as I press a black-eyed Susan against it. You get it right again.
My hand moves down your back and onto your left hip. I hold you close to me and tell you to guess one more. I tug your pants down slightly and touch an orange rose to the flesh under your navel before dragging it upward and pressing it into that little hole. Your body tenses in my arm, and we kiss hard. I hear a faint whimper just as I start to pull your shirt off.
