Tell me how you'd make love to me.
Slowly, I think. You seem like the kind of woman who would want to go slowly.
Why do you think that?
I suppose because we're of an age. Not young, precisely; not rushed, not careless. not old either; not dead.
Oh, good, I'm not dead.
Oh, hardly. You're just not young anymore. No longer unblemished. You have lines around your throat, your eyes. Your beauty is ... earned.
Should I tell you about my children? What they've done to my vagina, my breasts?
I'll find out eventually.
If I undress for you.
If I undress you.
So. Where would you kiss me first?
Your eyebrows, I think. Yes, definitely.
Why my eyebrows?
Because they're oddly beautiful, A bit wild. Unplucked. luxuriant. You're the sort of woman who doesn't trim herself, body or soul. I would expect you'd be untrimmed below as well.
But that's for later, isn't it?
Later.
When I'm undressed.
Exactly. In all your ruined beauty.
'Ruined beauty.' I like that. That's exactly who I am, I think. So you'll kiss my eyebrows first.
Yeah. First the left, then right.
I would like that.
I hope so. And when I've approached you, touched you for the first time, the tiny intimacy of an unreturned kiss., maybe you'd close your eyes.
My eyes are closed.
And I would take off your glasses and place the lightest of kisses on your eyelids.
My eyelids?
Yes. Eyelids are hidden things. We don't always see them, day to day. But then you become someone's lover, and one of the first things she gives you - that you would give me - is the tiny secret of your eyelids. I would kiss you there, I would touch your eyelids with my tongue, feel the liquid of your eyeball, separated from me by a thin membrane of skin. Your secrets.
I have secrets?
Oh, god, yes. You know you do. All the places on your body that only a relatively few men have touched. The inside of your body. Your asshole. Into which I will eventually put my finger, my tongue
.
And your prick?
That remains to be seen. To be negotiated. Decided. Just for now, though, you are still an undiscovered country.
And you're going to discover me.
Oh, yeah.
Magellan. Who went around the world. Where next?
Your ears next. They will be hard, curved, cartiliginous. I will touch them with lips, tongue, fingers. Teeth. I will take an earlobe in my teeth, pull slightly.
They swell, you know, earlobes. They ... engorge. Just a little. Like my labia. Like your penis. They would be sensitive to those teeth of yours. You wouldn't hurt me, though.
No, I'd just tug. Feel their warmth with my tongue. Suck on them a tiny bit, then move on.
You're working your way downward.
Downward. The sweet flesh just below the ear at the bottom of your skull. Where I can feel bone under your skin. And then down to that lined skin at the base of your neck.
My ruined beauty.
Earned. I think I said 'earned' too.
You did. You are kissing the earned lines at the bottom of my neck.
Um-hm. And now another secret. I would unbutton the top of your blouse, the top button.
And?
The declivity at the top of your breast bone. It's soft. A still unblemished part of you.
Not ruined?
No. Nothing about you is ruined, I'm finding out. A little spoiled maybe. Not ruined.
Maybe you should wait until I'm undressed and then decide.
I won't have to.
Am I damp yet?
I don't know. You'll have to tell me.
Then I think I am. I would feel it inside myself, but then I would reach and touch myself, just to be sure. And then I'd be sure. Are you hard?
I think so, yeah. I would be hard by now.
Then, as I draw my hand back from myself, I would be sure to brush against you. I would brush against your, should I say, trousers? With the back of my hand, not caressing. Only ... checking?
Would you do anything else?
No, I wouldn't. Right now I'm waiting for you. My hand would fall back to my side, I wouldn't touch you at all. I'm all passivity. Later, I'll be active. But for now, I'm waiting.
Then I would begin with your buttons. Two, maybe three. Enough to show the beginnings of your breasts, your bra, which is cream colored. As are you. I would touch you. My fingers would move along the line oy your bra, lightly. I am touching your breasts for the first time.
And you like that.
I like that. But then my fingers leave your skin. Slide across the thin fabric, my palms, the fat part of the hand beneath my thumbs, glide across your nipples through fabric. They're hardening, I feel them, like small, fleshy nuts beneath the silk or polyester.
Silk. It would be silk. But I think I'll be active for a moment now. I think I'll undo the last buttons on my blouse, I'll pull my blouse out from the waistband of my skirt. And now I'm open to you. My shirt is open, I'm giving you my breasts.
Thank you.
You're welcome. Now what do you do?
I hold you, I hold your breasts in the palms of my hands. I kiss you. At the top of your breastbone, along one clavicle. Before I take your present in my mouth, I am making love with your bones.
Imagine that.
Then your breasts. From your clavicle, I slide downward with my lips, my cheeks, my nose, for god's sake. I am touching you, tasting you, smelling you.
What do I smell like?
Flesh. Salt. Perfume. I'm beginning to catch your deeper scents too. The way you'll smell and taste when I get between your legs.
Don't get ahead of yourself. You haven't taken my bra off yet.
Do you want me to?
Yes.
But first, my mouth is already on your breast. I am kissing you, sucking lightly on you through your bra, I feel your nipple through silk against my palate. Then I move across your body, take your other breast into my mouth.
And I feel you through the silk. It's delicious.
My hands are on you now, my hands are on your skin above your hips. I am inside your opened shirt, my hands encircle you, move across you back, trace up the knobs of your backbone.
You seem enamored of my bones.
