A Rhetorical Question
"
... Was it
," she wondered, watching him - in the full length mirror - undress her. "
.. the hardest white cock she had ever seen; or, the whitest hard cock she had ever seen."
Her grandmother had told her, "Don't be foolin' round with no white boys. ... They lie to you, say they gone do this, gone do that. Say you special, say you ain't jus' some nigger gal; not jus' they want some black pussy."
She, her grandmother, had first lectured her some number of years earlier, just before she went off to college: her using more
church lady
language, not mentioning
nigger gals
and
pussies
that first time.
"Howard, grandma," she had said. "Goin' to Howard. Ain't many white boys there."
The admonition was repeated four years later.
She didn't mention the Wisconsin senator's son, ( t
hem both being in
Washington ) the one who had often lain between her spread thighs on winter Sunday afternoons, she propped against the head board, sipping red wine, her fingers tangled in his blond hair; him sipping on her pussy. There was no future in telling her grandmother.
"Where you goin'" she was asked. "Off up north somewhere?"
"Harvard Law School, grandma. ... Boston."
"Be a lot of white boys there. Rich white boys. Ain't never seen no pretty black girl; ain't never had no black pussy." The words were not so
church lady
like this time. "Them wantin' to try you on for size."
Boston, Harvard Yard, was filled with excited, exciting white boys. Italian, Irish, American heart-land boys (men), foreign students --- Argentines, British, Estonians, Greeks. Some rich, all extremely bright. They took her skiing: she lay on fur rugs, flame-light from the open fire places illuminating her chocolate skin. They took her sailing, kept her naked, sometimes the whole weekend. A recently divorced professor had her as escort to St. Martin: the casinos, the nude beaches.
The real
sit down -- girl, you an' me need to talk -- c
ame, however, her packing to start her first real job: Supreme Court law clerk.
"Don't be foolin' round with no white boys. ... They lie to you, say they gone do this, gone do that. Say you special, say you ain't jus' some nigger gal; not jus' they want some black pussy."
"Grandmother," she said, an acquired almost Boston accent, "next birthday, I'm twenty-five. Trust me."
"Uh!," the reply came, "think you somethin', fancy talkin', Harvard Law. You stay away from them white boys, they smallish cocks."

An Early Morning Fuck ..
Jimmy Reed came out of the speakers, pounding, rhythmic Delta Blues ...
You got me runnin', got me hidin'
You got me run, hide, hide run ...
Levi fucked her to the pulsating beat ...
I'm goin' up, I'm goin' down
Goin' up, down, down, up ...
Lethia mouthed, moaned the words ...
You got me doin' what you want me
Ah, baby, any way you want me ...
She dug her heels into the small of his back, pushed her pussy tight against him.
The music changed. Cool jazz filled the room: Dave Brubeck,
Take Five
...
He rolled her over; never losing contact - the hardness of his cock filling her all the while; his hands covering her tits, squeezing - pinching her nipples.
The base and piano establishing a background.
Saxophone blowing pure sex out into the air ...
"Play with yourself," Levi told her. "While you ride me - play with yourself. ... I want to watch."
She, Lethia, moved a hand, her fingers, to where their two bodies met. He watched her move up and down on his hardness, watched her finger move in her wetness.

CHOCOLATE AND RED WINE
He watched her work on the icing. The cake itself was finished. A birthday for her favorite nephew. He liked to watch her work; smooth, flowing motion ... easy grace in her movements. An athlete, even in the kitchen.
Music came from the system, a real mix of styles: acoustic banjo, early-early rock and roll, jazz vocals ... mostly females ... Billie Holiday ... Diana Krall ... Nina Simon, Guy Clark folk songs, classic Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Reed blues ... a CD she had put together.
The controls were in an antique French wardrobe, its doors open, full mirrors on the insides of the doors. He was reading
A Painted House
, the newest Grisham book. He looked up from time to time, into the mirrors, watched the smooth motion of her working.
She put the tip of a finger into the icing, put the finger to her mouth, checking the taste, the consistency. "I'll have some of that," he said.
"Some of what?" She looked at him in the glass, put the finger back to her mouth.
"Why; chocolate icing, of course. What did you think?"
"With you, one never knows."
"Ah," he said, taking a sip of red wine, putting Grisham down. "You wouldn't be being mischievous now would you?"
"Want some icing?" she watched him In the mirror. His back was to her.
"Some icing would be good."
He felt the tightness come into his lower stomach; felt the heat flow to his crotch.
She undid the top two buttons of her blouse. She did not wear a bra. He watched her reach the finger into the mixing bowl, come out covered with chocolate. She dabbed the icing onto her uncovered nipple; she stared into his eyes, did not look away.
"Want some icing?"
"Some icing would be good."
"Well, what the hell are you doing way over there?"
He circled the room, came to her. She licked the remaining chocolate from her finger. He bent to her breast, took the nipple between his teeth, worked his tongue, licking the sweetness from her. He sipped the red wine, put his thumb into the glass, put it into her mouth, felt her suck his thumb.
