The sound of a man in the house again was sweet, and I pretended to sleep just to savor it. Eric had gotten out of bed and padded to the bathroom quietly, trying not to awaken me. Urine splashed into the toilet bowl and he sighed with relief. Mentally, I told my own bladder to hush for now. He left the bathroom and went downstairs. Paniced that he was leaving my eyes flew open; his clothes were still on the floor where he had left them the night before. Footfalls on the stairs vanquished my short-lived fear and I closed my eyes again, playing possum. The shower hissed to life and gradually the smell of men's soap crept into the bedroom. I dozed on and off while Eric tended to his hygiene. At length he finished and I sensed his presence in the bedroom. I opened my eyes but stayed quiet, watching him. Clad only in pajama bottoms he was a feast for the eyes, every bit as handsome as I had had remembered from the previous night. He strolled about the room, stopping from time to time to examine the photos and art that hung on the walls. Most of them had sexual themes, some more explicit than others. A few were of my own creation, culled from various sources and flavored with my own imaginings. Extending his arms over his head, he stretched from side to side, muscles rippling. He turned toward the bed and saw that I was awake. He smiled comfortably and sat on the bedside, touching my leg.
"Good morning, beautiful Lady."
I giggled. "Good morning, Eric."
"Been awake long?"
"Long enough to admire what I enjoyed last night."
"That's good news. Are you hungry?"
"Some. You?"
"I'm starving. If you don't mind a strange man in your kitchen, I'd love to cook some breakfast for us."
"I would never turn down a meal I don't have to make myself."
"Excellent. Besides -- if I sit here any longer, I'm going to have to fuck you again. I'm getting hard already."
"My. That's quite a dilemma for you. But, I'm sure I'd rather have you weak from desire and not hunger." The front of his pajamas were bulging. Eyelids fluttering, he tipped his head back and inhaled sharply.
"God damn." He leaned over and kissed my cheek. "Meet you downstairs?"
"Mm-hmm," I replied, nodding and blowing a kiss. As soon as he headed downstairs, I made a dash for the bathroom. A torrent of urine and cum passed out of me. My God how he had fucked me! I expected to be well satisfied and maybe a little sore, but instead I was wanting even more and my openings were well ready for anything he could give them. The thought of him in my kitchen, half-naked, sporting wood, and cooking for me gave me strong motivation to make short work of my shower. I chose my deep blue silk robe, deciding against wearing the chemise that matched. As I towel-dried my hair, I heard my young lover whistling happily.
Eric was standing at the stove juggling four eggs when I walked into the kitchen. I was glad I hadn't tried to sneak up on him to steal a kiss as I had considered doing. He'd pitch the eggs high in the air -- almost to the ceiling -- and catch them effortlessly, taunting gravity at every moment.
"That's impressive," I said as he continued to juggle. "Can you walk the tightrope, too?"
"Nope. But I have swung from the chandeliers now and then." He grinned and winked and brought the eggs safely to rest on the countertop. I applauded heartily and he bowed with a theatrical flourish. Moving through the kitchen with ease, Eric located dishes and foodstuffs as though he'd lived there forever. In no time at all we were at the table, sharing yet another meal together.
"How long can you stay?"
"I have someplace to be at nine tonight."
"A client?"
"Yeah."
"Can I ask?"
"Ask what?"
"What's it like? What will you do with him?"
He shook his head. "Maggie, I don't ... you wouldn't want ... "
I looked at him imploringly. I did want to know, I really did. "Please? I'm dying of curiosity. It's not like the thought of men touching each other puts me off."
"I know it doesn't. You're paintings are very good, by the way. But Maggie, this isn't like your paintings. This client is a guy who has a very particular fetish and ... and I've never actually talked about this before. About what I do. Even with Todd I don't ... not in detail anyway."
I continued staring at him. "I thought you weren't ashamed."
Eric sighed heavily. "I'm not."
"So tell me."
He stared at my face for a few seconds. I succeeded at my efforts not to blink.
