The Story of My Telepathic Life
by Gary LM Martin
We were making love.
We were
always
making love.
I was riding on top of Julian's shaft. I smiled down at him with pure adoration in my eyes. I didn't have to ask how he felt, I
knew
it. Every time I grinded my hips in a circle I could feel the sexual tension and pleasure in his shaft, I could feel the intense spikes in his sexual arousal; Julian's excitement enticed me, it infected me and brought me along for the ride, making me climax even as his shaft technically didn't stir any sensations directly inside me. That didn't matter; all that mattered was bringing my man the sexual pleasure we both loved.
It was a curious thing, lovemaking. Even the word was curious.
Making love
. I had been with several men, but I had certainly never
made love
with them. All we did was have sex; or at least, they had sex with me. I certainly didn't get anything out of it.
But Julian was my lover and we did in fact make love. As a telepath, I felt that I had discovered something unique about the act of love making that no one else on the planet knew.
Making love was an act of selfishness and greed.
When two people made love who weren't telepaths, it was easy to believe how giving the act of love was. The man groaned "I love you" and the woman, in the height of arousal, also did the same. It was easy to think that that's what the sex act was about, expressing affection for the other.
But that's not really true.
I looked deeply into Julian's mind as he worked his way up Orgasm Hill, as he moved painfully, stroke by stroke, trying to get his release. Julian wasn't thinking of how much he loved or adored me while he was trying to obtain his precious orgasm; all he was thinking about was getting his own sexual release. He was using my body to do something for himself, not me. Even when he said during lovemaking, "I love you, Shelly!" as he frequently did, he said it not so much to express love to me, but to drive himself into higher and higher states of arousal, so he could obtain his much desired orgasm.
It may look like I'm painting a nefarious picture of Julian, but I'm not. I realized that all people are wired that way, men and women. Yes, even as I worked my way up the orgasm ladder during sex, I wasn't really thinking about Julian's pleasure. I too was thinking of using his body to satisfy my own needs. I was thinking of his handsome hairy chest, his gorgeous eyes, his loving hand, feeling him stroke me, desperate to take whatever was offering, not because I loved him, but because I needed him to get my own release.
And so I realized the sex act was an overwhelmingly selfish act, with two people using each other for their own interests. The way our biology was constructed, we were using each other in a way which simulated actual expressions of love because that's how we were designed.
And even though the act of sex was, on the most basic level, about satisfying our own needs, not those of our partners, I loved Julian and he loved me. Even as he used me to satisfy his own needs, he always made quite sure to satisfy my own. He used his hand or his domineering nature or his sharing of his own orgasm to stimulate my own climax, and I was equally concerned about him getting his own.
I think, then, that's what true love is. Using someone else to get your physical needs met, but caring enough to also see to their own. And of course, the time spent outside of bed counts just as much as the time spent in bed. Walking, talking, flirting, doing things together... these things also satisfy other, psychological needs, but they are also valid expressions of love.
I had this epiphany while riding on Julian's penis.
"Very impressive. Very impressive indeed," said Julian. "Perhaps if you ride long enough, you could compose a prize winning sonnet."
I laughed and kissed him and he kissed me back.
"All right, Shelly. It's time to start climbing the orgasm tree, as you call it."
I wiped perspiration off my brow. "I thought we
were
climbing the orgasm tree!" I had just been closing in my own orgasm and was intensely frustrated.
"Climb faster," he grinned.
I was on top, and so I grinded my hips in an effort to stimulate the head of Julian's penis, deep inside me.
As I rode his shaft, Julian was manipulating my clit, helping me climb my own orgasm tree, so to speak. I felt my orgasm so close, so close now!
I love you so much, he thought, fixing me with a steely grin.
I love you too!
I was almost there! I was panting rapidly now. Just.... a little... more....
And then abruptly, Julian pulled his hand away.
"Do you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you love me more than Tom?"
Tom, again. What an odd question.
Why, do you have any difficulty answering it?
What does Tom matter? You've never met him. I haven't seen him since before he got married. Tom is off the radar, completely.
Then why do you have such difficulty answering the question?
I felt the head of Julian's penis moving insistently inside me.
"All right," I said. "I love you more than Tom. Satisfied?"
No. Convince me.
I frowned. How?
You have to believe it.
I looked at Julian, the love of my life, and wondered why we were engaged in such petty games.
Julian had been keeping me skating at the edge of orgasm. I liked to come at the same time as he did, and he knew it. But I had been skating at the edge for some time, and needed to finish.
"Julian!"
His fingers returned, but a light, glancing touch, only on my clitoral hood, not enough to make me come. His message was obvious.
Convince me.
Julian didn't want actions. He didn't want words. He wanted
thoughts
. He needed me to believe, and until he believed that I believed, he would deny me my much needed orgasm.
My body was aching to come. I had been stimulated for far too long, which I saw now was always intention. He was using my biology as leverage, just as the riders of
Parasites Love Earth
had.
"Julian, I need to come!" My clit felt like it was going to explode.
Convince me.
I started him straight in the eyes as I rode up and down on his shaft.
I love you.
His fingers continued their lightest of light touch.
I love you!
No change.
I wet my lips.
I love you more than Tom!
Sweat trickled down my body as I moved up and down his shaft.
You're smarter than him! You're more successful than him! You're handsomer than he is! You're more manly than he is!
