Prologue
My hand grips your thigh just below the hem of your short black dress, and you sigh as loudly as you dare. Glasses clink and the fake laughter of party banter fills the air.
"Why did we come here, if we both hate parties?" I ask. You are wearing that perfume. Oh.
That perfume.
Memories flash. You biting your lip. My teeth against your neck. I return from my reverie.
"Being a wallflower can be fun, in its own way," you say.
"I hear it has its perks."
"Oh, stop." You lean in close to me, your breasts bunching together beneath the thin material. "Just try to have fun."
"Do we even know anyone here?"
"Sure! That's Jamie and Erin, they invited us. And Josh and Megan." You nod your head at two couples smiling at one another over their wine glasses as your hand finds my bicep.
"I don't know who those people are. Did I mention I hate parties?"
"You did. Many times. But we should go out occasionally. And besides," you grip my arm a little tighter, "never know what might happen."
"Gonna tease me all night like this, until we get home?"
"Maybe."
I turn from you, aware of eyes upon us. I allow myself to smile and talk about nothing with people that I'll likely never meet again. I compliment Jamie on his home, he tells me about how they just re-did their kitchen and bathroom, about how they did it all themselves. I don't care but I pretend that I do.
The party flows outside, into the thick July evening. We follow, waters in hand, as our fellow partygoers stumble and giggle in various stages of intoxication, awaiting the big event.
"The view is spectacular from here," Jamie tells someone. They'll go off just right over the river."
I let you walk in front of me. I don't care about that view. I care about a different one. You turn back, sensing me.
"What?" You ask, smiling.
"Nothing." I stand next to you and pull you against me, hand clutching you just above the curve of your hip.
"Hm," you mumble. You free yourself from my grip and slink away, in the opposite direction of the flowing crowd, back toward the house.
I follow you.
Your heeled footsteps echo on the "newly redone" hardwood. Tap. Tap. Tap. Each resonates a little closer as I stalk you.
The house is empty, the hallway dark. The party outside is muffled and distant, save for the occasional laugh of a few stragglers.
You stand against the wall next to the bathroom, staring at me. Your smile is gone. Your face is hard. Your eyes tell me exactly what you're thinking.
I walk up to you. "Expecting company?"
A wave passes gently through your body in response. "Yes."
I move close to you, within an inch, without touching.
"Fireworks are about to start," I say, lowering my lips to your own, as close as possible without touching. "How long do we have?"
"Five minutes, maybe ten," you whisper.
"I'm thinking seven." I allow our lips to touch, then our chests, and finally I let you feel my hardness rubbing against your pelvis through the oh-so-thin material of your summer dress.
Seven minutes.
Seven minutes to take you.
Seven minutes to use you.
Seven minutes, all for me.
ONE
I press you against the doorframe. Our lips meet again, harder Your tongue flows against mine. We should be mindful, here in the hallway, but we're both beyond caring.
You moan, and I return your energy. You sink in submission and desire as your knees go weak, held up only by the force of my own body and arms. Slowly, carefully, you manage to force yourself back up to your full height, letting your eyes meet mine, and remain there.
I see you giving in to me. I see it in the dilatation of your pupils, the downward glances, and the heavy sigh pursing your lips into an O and an exhalation of breath.
My crotch is already wet, my pants sticky with my own arousal as I grip your hips, hard. I pull you against me as I push back, enjoying the momentum of our bodies and the way they fit together so perfectly. We savor the moment together, and then another, and another.
Outside, the show begins with thumps and thuds.
TWO
I pull you into the bathroom, leaving the lights off. I shut and lock the door. Your face and your body are shadows against the flickering of a small lit Yankee Candle in the corner.
"Vanilla scented. Fucking typical," I mumble, before turning my attention back to you. But I'm too slow. You've moved faster, backing up against the vanity and reaching down to unbuckle my belt with a skill both exquisite and still surprising.
You smirk at me as your hand pulls my pants down and my cock free. Your hand strokes me from base to head, just once. I look to the ceiling, and moan as loud as I dare. "Fuck. Me."
