Many thanks to Cernunos, my editor for this story too. English is not my first language, and he had tried to preserve my "style" in the editing.

I like Klimt, Chagall, the New Age music and the war movies.
Yes, I am a complicated person. "The duality of man, sir, a Jungian thing, sir..."... I really like them, from "Save Private Ryan" to "Black Hawk down", to "The 9th company" (no sir, this is not made in Hollywood)... However, war movies are just to release my aggressiveness, you know, "transfer", things like that. If you hear that someone has crushed a guy because he found him too tanned, well, it was not me. It's not that I love all the peoples of the world, but I'm for "live and let live". I have a friend who can't take the gays, well, I have told him too, they don't bother me, provided they don't touch my... you know what.
What do I do, then? well, I have a job, and I like it. I earn well too. As Springsteen says, "they pay me a king's ransom for doing what comes naturally"... Well, a king's ransom, let's not exaggerate. I am not "The Boss"...
And as a matter of fact, I don't sing.
How it all began? Hard to explain - and to believe. To quote the late, lamented Isaac Babel, "life strives in every way to resemble a well reported history". But it not always succeeds. Let's say that it began after a...well, a strictly personal thing with a lady. A real lady. She was divorced and nauseated about marriage, so she told me. Too bad. Sure, once burnt, twice careful.
I would not criticize her former husband. It's not easy to be a good one. On the other hand, nobody forced him to marry, and marriage is not the retirement of a man. You have a regular client, but you have to satisfy him (her), at least every now and then. I know, work, the stress, time for yourself, but at least every now and then, both in bed and out of it. You can't simply come home from the church, remove the bridegroom suit and wear your slippers.
Well, the former husband of that lady did something like that, or worse. So she was looking for another kind of stories. And she had found me.
And she liked me.
By the way, even in bed, she was a true lady. No blocks, experienced, able to let go completely, as not many girls are (and if a girl doesn't let go, she will never get to the "Big Top"...). But she knew what she wanted and what she did not. And I, figure it out: "yes, ma'am". In a nutshell, we got to the Big Top. Not in the same moment, that is a whim. If it happens, it's good, otherwise, it's good all the same.
And then during a quiet chat she wanted to make it clear that she was not in love with me, although she would not mind seeing me again (and not only "seeing" me). I accepted. We were adult; we were sinning like professionals... I don't remember how it came, talking about professionals, she asked me whether I would have been willing to do for money what I had just done.
"If I were sure that only women like you would offer me the money, yes. Otherwise, no, I wouldn't."
She laughed.
But I didn't expect that she took me at my word.
A few days later, another lady phoned me. She said she was a friend of the lady I knew, and that she had a gift for me, on her behalf. She asked what time she could bring it to me, I told her what time, and I gave her my address. She came at my house, she gave me the gift and then she stood there, very embarrassed.
I was embarrassed too. I didn't know whether to accompany her to the door or what else to do, but she didn't move. I thought that she was judging the spartan interiors of my student's flat. But I was wrong.
She made up her mind all of a sudden. "Excuse me if I speak now about that, but how much do you want?"
"How much do I want for what?"
"Well, the lady has told me that you... you... Oh my God!!"
Yes, SHE had told "Oh my God", but I was a bit stunned too. I recovered just before she turned to get out (more precisely, to run away). I explained to her how it all happened with the other lady, she was keeping on apologizing...
"No problem. You can stay, if you want," I said. She looked at me. She could be the younger sister of the lady I knew. Just, the other lady has been blonde and she was brown: her hair was almost black. As for the rest, they both had gorgeous, full, fleshy bodies. I had decided...all in all...she wanted; I was not so averse...
"Do you really want to do it?" I asked. She nodded: she wanted, fear and desire warring in her features.
I tried to put myself in her shoes. She had to be as desperate as I was when I had my first experience. I had started with a "how-much-do-you-want" too, yes, I do declare. And I had been lucky. No haste, nothing unpleasant. I had to behave as "she" had behaved with me.
The woman I was facing had sweet eyes, sweeter than those of the lady I knew, and when I embraced her, she let me.
"Don't do it in a hurry," she told me. "Don't strip me now..."
I nodded, I didn't say anything. I had my nose in her hair, and her smell was really good. Full, as that of all brunettes, but not aggressive. Soft. And her body was soft too. I waited for a minute or two before reaching under her suit. Her skin was tender and warm. Very warm. I don't know whether it was always so, or it was just then because she was getting excited...
I was ready to stop and let her go, without insisting, at the first sign of repentance, of afterthought. But she had no second thought, she just wanted to have the time to relax, to let go, and then I would have her - totally.
"You are clever. You have nice hands," she said.
My hands were already where usually the sun doesn't shine, at least one hand. The other arm surrounded her shoulders, pressing her gently against me. I felt her boobs, soft and warm against my chest.
I wanted to hold those boobs in my hands. I passed behind her, as if we were dancing. She let me take them, humming. I was not so foolish as to squeeze them. Palms on the nipples, circling slowly, then below, as to weigh her breast, and then on to the nipples again. She was just sighing. Sighs that spoke as a thousand words. She was shy, emotional as a girl, but physically, a pressure cooker, a mine to be defused... slowly, slowly...
I went under her skirts, putting my hands on her crotch. She let me. No resistance. Her panties were damp, not soaked, but damp... I touched her there around, and they became damper and damper. She was sighing, just stronger.
"You're clever, you're clever! Keep on this way, a bit... through the fabric..."
I did as she said, feeling my fingers inside her already, through her underwear. She said something like "Hnnnnn!" but she did not stop me. I knew that some women don't like to be penetrated with a finger, so I keep massaging her vulva, without pushing too hard inside of her. She was pushing her back against my belly, feeling my dick, hard and erect between her buttocks. She startled.
"Don't take me yet, please... touch me again..." she begged.
I nodded, touching the skin of her cleavage between her boobs with one hand, while massaging her belly with the other, my palm on her skin. She was moaning, relaxed, accepting. I could have bent her body down, pushed away her underwear and penetrated her from behind, with all her clothes on, and she would have surrendered without a fight. She was ready for a male, her body was ready, and her sex was ready. But I did not do it. The man knocks at the door, but it's up to the woman to say "come in"...
When she said "come in", I thanked my laziness that prevented me from making up completely my sofa- bed: it was still a "bed". We undressed each other without saying a word, kissing each other on the mouth, on the neck, until we both were naked. Then I embraced her. We were very close to the bed now.
She lay down slowly, surrounded by my arms, looking into my eyes, and then I dropped a bit of my "nice guy" tenderness. It was Zhukov's final offensive over Berlin, the ride of Patton beyond the Rhine river, and make of it what you will, but she was ready for that and more than that. I rode her, and she enjoyed being ridden, hard and long. At the end, I was breathless and covered by her smell, from my face down. And she was more breathless than me.
"You have killed me," she said, smiling. "You have really killed me..."
Of course she was exaggerating. It was clear that she was very healthier and happier now than when she had entered my door.
