Had you seen them kneeling there, side by side, you might at a distance have mistaken them for some anachronistically pious couple at their nightly devotions. But a closer inspection would have revealed them to be naked, and that their hands, far from being joined in prayer, are engaged in altogether more carnal pursuits.
They are kneeling on the sitting-room floor, leaning against the sofa. Jessie, her arms extended, is clutching its back-rest, kneading it, catlike, in a paroxysm of pleasure. With her body at full stretch, her dipping back and out-thrust behind form a sinuous curve -- a line of beauty -- traversing the sofa's seat, and her breasts, softly pendant, are swaying freely like ripe fruit. Ira is pressed hard up against her, thigh to thigh, his right forearm lying casually across her left buttock, his hand almost lost to view in the deep canyon of her arse, and his fingers -- the edge of his forefinger mainly -- are exploring the fissure now welling in that canyon's slippery floor.
Apart from his lover's sonorous sighs, the only sound is that of the sluicing of Ira's hand against the swollen lips of Jessie's cunt. From time to time he inclines his body towards her, and, with his other hand, caresses the suspended breasts and trails his fingers down the long, firm plain of her belly until the edge of the sofa (against which his penis -- as elegantly curved as a scimitar -- is also resting) halts further downward progress.
In the valley of Jessie's arse, what had begun as a bubbling spring is now a stream in full spate. And in that flowing channel, Ira's hand, moving rhythmically under her, marks no distinction between anus and perineum, vulva and clitoris, but treats them as an aggregate -- islands in a stream -- while yet conveying the silent promise, that during the night ahead, there will be countless opportunities for each precious part --clit, cunt, arsehole, and what lies between -- to receive its loving due.
Jessie's response to the somewhat mechanical back and forth action of his hand against her underparts is intriguing to Ira. It piques, as well as excites him that she is finding his rather perfunctory handling of her cunt so evidently pleasurable -- that an action so crudely fundamental can so readily turn her on. She is breathing heavily now, each rasping intake of breath deeper and more sonorous than the last; her exhalations emerging as voluptuous sighs punctuated by sharp intakes of breath and whimpers of pleasure whenever his fingers venture near, or touch, a particularly sensitive part. He employs the edge, as well as the palm of his hand, using the big knuckle at the base of his forefinger to massage, as one, the groove of her anus and the tight nub of muscle between anus and vulva, and to part the swollen lips. He's preparing that long moist furrow -- readying it for both plough and seed. From time to time, as if inadvertently, his middle finger taps against her clitoris and Jess, catching her breath, shivers along her spine.
You should not assume, from what I have said above, that Ira is an unadventurous, or less than ardent lover, and doubtless, the quivering state of readiness of his engorged member, resting on the couch would -- could you but see it -- suffice to dispel any such notion. But, to this, let me add, that Ira can imagine no subject more inspiring for an artist than Jessie's naked body. Were she his wife, rather than his clandestine lover, and had they but other than snatched moments together, he could not imagine any occupation more pleasurable than looking at Jess, painting her, and, in between times, fucking her. And so, whenever possible, he holds back, seeking to enhance not just her pleasure, but also his own, in observing her. The alternative course of leaping on top of her and filling her cunt with his sperm, though efficient from a biological standpoint, holds very little appeal for him (although it would be a lie to say that not once, during the course of their relationship, did this happen).
By now, the streaming valley that is Jessie's perineum has become a conduit of pure sensation, and the infusion engorging her loins is spreading its mellowing warmth through her hindmost-parts. Meanwhile, Ira has become aware that a generous effusion is welling in the hollow of his upturned palm. Gravely, he anoints the globes of Jessie's buttocks with her juices and watches, enthralled, as their glistening rotundities reflect the flickering firelight.
The inevitable consequence of prolonged teasing is an exponential increase in arousal. Jessie's sighs and moans; the subcutaneous twitching and the trembling of her arse; her hands spastically kneading the backrest of the sofa, all signal the intensity of her pleasure and the growing urgency of her craving for orgasmic release.
Ira is watching these signs intently.
Particularly, he is watching her hands, or, more precisely, one of them. For Jessie's left hand, as if with a will of is own, has detached itself from the sofa's backrest, and, with palm out-turned, is inscribing a graceful downward arc onto the settee, settling there, briefly, before continuing its blind progress and finding (to his wonderment and delight) its terminus in the location and enfolding of Ira's erect penis, which is still at rest on the edge the seat. Jess favours his prick with a couple of brisk strokes, then tugs it sideways towards her.
But Ira resists. He's not ready to fuck her yet - it's too early. Jessie, on the other hand, still hopeful, continues to frig him. This he does not resist, and he's already panting slightly by the time he gets around to asking her: How did you do that with your hand? How did you know where it was? There's no way you could've seen it.
What, your prick?
Yes, Jess, my prick. You couldn't see it, so, how could you tell where it was?
I don't know. I guess I just sensed it; although, let's face it, it'd be pretty hard to miss, wouldn't it? Anyway, what does it matter? Why don't you just go ahead and put it in me?
It's too soon Jess, he says, we've a long night ahead of us let's not rush it, and, thoughtfully, with his middle finger, starts to massage her clit.
Oh my god, Ira, that feels so good! Oh sweet Jesus, I need fucking so bad! Please, put it in me. Just for a little while. I'll be good. I promise.
In point of fact, Ira is by no means averse to putting it in, even as he continues to make a show of resistance. Reluctant to forego the mildly sadistic thrill of hearing her beg for it, he lets her continue with her pleading before abandoning the pretence.
Okay, my love, okay, he goes at last as if reluctantly conceding a favour, I'll let you have ten strokes. After that it's back to fooling around.
('Fooling around!' It was a joke between them -- an idiom she'd use for foreplay. How'd you like to fool around with me? she'd ask him. It always killed him to hear her say it.)
Ten strokes? Jesus Ira, it's not even worth putting it in for that. It's got to be twenty at least, or thirty even. Jesus, Ira, I'm desperate; I need you in me.
Alright, twenty strokes it is then, and that's your lot. And you've got to count them Jess. Out loud. I don't want any arguments later.
While speaking, he has got himself behind her, lodged the tip of his prick into her wet pussy, and, holding it between his forefinger and thumb, is now making a series of loops or ellipses with its helmet, around the lips of her cunt -- the aperture of which provides the template to ease it open more fully. She moans softly, and taking this as an indication of acceptance, he enters her.
His first thrust is slow, languorous, and very deep, as are the four that follow, and Jess rewards each stroke with a soulful sigh. But then, getting up onto his haunches, Ira favours her with five swift uppercuts, his balls slapping hard and fast against her upturned clitoris. She gasps, shocked by the change of angle and tempo, panting with each stroke, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh.
You're supposed to be counting, girl, he growls.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! That was so sudden and quick I lost count.
Well I haven't. I owe you ten. So how do you want it, Jess, fast or slow?
Oh god! I don't know. It's all lovely. Do me any way you like.
Okay, he says, start counting from ten, and pushes it in to the hilt.
Ngaaahhh!...Lovely!...Ten...huh...huh...elev...aaahhh...eleven...twe...huh...huh... twelve...thir...thir...thir...thirteen...four...huh...four...huh...fourteen...fif...huh...fif...Ohmygod, I'm going to come
.
Keep counting
!
I can't, I can't, I'm coming! Ohmygod! I'm coming! Now! Now! Now! N-gaaaahhhh!
And he pulls her further on to him, to fully extend the reach of his penis inside her, and holds her quivering butt fast against his static loins till she's done.
