"It happened again, last night," Carol said in a whisper.
"No way."
"Whew," Carol said, brushing the dark hair from her eyes, touched her forehead with the back of her hand. "Very hot."
"In here?" Malyn glanced around. Few people frequented their favorite lounge this early in the afternoon. The room felt a little chilly to her, and wished she'd brought a sweater.
"Not here silly. Last night. Mind-blowing." She worried her drink with the little straw, took a sip.
"Tell me, tell me," Malyn said, leaning closer.
"Sooo intense."
"Okay, okay . . . tell me already, I'm dying here."
"The most incredible sex ever."
"Get to the good parts, dammit. Was he gentle, an animal . . . what?"
"Three orgasms, one right after the other, and he still wasn't through with me."
"Ohhh, my God, the takeover type. Just what you like."
"You know it."
"Who is he? I've got to know."
Carol's blue eyes sparkled. She tilted her head to the side, eyebrows flexed so that the skin crinkled across her forehead like tiny ripples over still water.
"Wish I knew. In my dreams I never see his face."
She looked around to see if anyone was close enough to hear and whispered, "Took me places I've never been. Very oral."
"That's distracting . . . men who talk too much during sex," Malyn said. "I don't mind a few dirty words now and then, but–."
"Oral sex, silly."
"Ohhh."
"He had this little purple knot," Carol said, "right here." The point of a fingernail tapped the tip of an equally pink tongue.
"What's up with that?"
"Damage from rubbing across the sharp surface of a chipped tooth. Could be surgically fixed, he said . . . hope he doesn't." She smiled and her eyebrows danced.
"Why wish that on the poor guy?"
"Come on!"
"Oh."
Malyn continued after a moment. "Well, you do like that sort of thing . . . so, I'm happy for you."
The overly harsh words shocked her, but they were out before Malyn could stop them. After being forced as a teenager to go down on an uncle, the idea of warm, slimy sperm spirting
into her mouth revolted her.
"I'm really sorry, that you've never been exposed to some good mouth to genital stimulation."
She shook her head. Carol didn't know the truth. "I don't go in for that."
"You'll never get a good man with straight sex."
"I have a good man," Malyn said, "and I don't need to do that."
"Girl, you've never even had a good orgasm," Carol countered. "I don't go down on my lover to feel wanted," she said, "it's a want to please him."
"Brad gets plenty of pleasure from regular sex."
"All men like oral . . . even your Brad. Ask him. Makes them feel really loved, especially when you swallow."
"Ohh, Gawd, Carol, that's gross. Brad's loved and knows it. I don't have to ask."
"Don't know what you're missing," Carol said, and got to her feet. "I have to get." She pulled her short skirt down, brushed out the wrinkles. "You ready?"
Outside, the girls hugged goodbye.
Malyn hailed a cab, and on the ride home pondered her friends whispered parting words.
Screw Carol . . . and her dream lover. What did the bitch know anyway? Some ghost who comes to her in a dream? What's up with that? Sex with Brad is enjoyable just the way it is, and just as soon as this silverware goes into the dishwasher, it's going to be another Friday, sizzle night.
Brad had mixed a couple of drinks, took them to the living room. She followed as he brought out the DVD he'd rented from the video store down the street. After they had watched thirty minutes or so of couples having sex on screen, they'd turn the room into their very own private stage. She glimpsed the video label as Brad slipped it into the machine, it glowed XXX,
Going Down Thelma.
After viewing the intro, Malyn knew it was going to be another poorly acted serial, with lots of fake grunting and moaning. The predicable music bumped along with the grind of some actors hairy ass slamming up and down. The woman's mid-aged, shaved pussy clung to the man's cock, in a flurry of skin action.
