Against your better judgment, what you'd sworn was a singular (and later, a double) act of impulsive perversion on your part had become something of a ritual, every time you saw them now. Such behavior was as foreign to you as these shores had been when you climbed off the boat, but like a shape of light freed from arbitrary, ethical moorings, you'd painted a wholly new, terribly lascivious self-portrait...and you liked the satisfied being you saw.
It started when, not for the first time, you decided to listen to the smooth-talking, sleek devil on your shoulder. The context was a day like many others, defined by the chaos of public transit; the red line had gone down (again), and with the kind of inefficiency you associated with underpaid, overworked transit officials scrambling to get through another work day, they piled into the train car ferrying you to your job.
-KssSsst-
TANIS AND POLASKI. PLEASE -WHEEZE- ACCOMMODATE THE EXTRA PASSENGER LOAD, WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE, THANK YOU
-kssSt-
Oh no.
The doors open, and humanity spills in fluid-like to fill the space. Three times you are tossed like a slender, shapely bit of driftwood in whitewater rapids that stink of bad cologne and swamp-country breakfast, even as you grasp for the handlebar futilely. You find yourself forced up uncomfortably against the steel-panel wall of the car, a TV screen eagerly delivering the news in Spanish.
-kssSSt-
GOREK AND SMITH -wheEEeeze
-KSSst-
You brace yourself, holding on desperately to your tiny patch of space, like the baroness of a ravaged little land through which The City's barbaric proletariat rampaged and rather than being torn away, the stream of humanity pushes against you.
But this time something is different.
You become exquisitely aware of a man's body pressed against yours from behind, and hear the little devil whispering in your ear.
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
There's a man behind you, Anastasia.
You:
I know. What of it?
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
You can feel him...he's tall like a tree, his shoulders are broad, and look. His forearms.
You look and quietly 'ohh' at the way tendons stand out like cables beneath his pale, auric skin; they're straining to push against the wall and, you realize, the undifferentiated mass of people behind him. Why was he...?
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
He's trying to keep you from being crushed you horny dolt. He's being nice...so don't go thinking too hard about how you can feel the buttons of his shirt, his stubble catching in your hair, and ohhh...the shape of his chest. It's a nice chest, isn't it.
You:
Stop that!
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
And unlike almost everyone else, he smells good. What is that, Anastasia? A bite of mint from his toothpaste? Just a bit of sweat from traversing the morning heat?
You:
Maybe, but -
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
- and...that...is...his...package. Against your ass.
You have nothing to say in response to yourself, because the Devil on Your Shoulder is (as always) correct: the bulge of his masculinity is pressing on your rear, but only momentarily as he leans his hips back to keep from further dishonoring you, a woman he is unacquainted with. "I'm so, so sorry," he whispers to you in an accent that is certainly not Dixie. Aghast at the situation, he unintentionally delights you with a feat of strength as he pushes the complaining, griping crowd back and gives you a few centimeters of breathing space.
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
Pffft. Acting sweet. That makes you want him even more.
You:
I don't -want- him, I don't even know his name -
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
Oh Anastasia, you know that's never stopped...and besides, why, oh why then, are you grinding back against his cock?
...good question. Why, in fact, are you looking over your shoulder at him with sultry, parted red lips, hooded dark eyes, slowly sashaying your hips side to side against his groin? Why do you, in fact, love the way you can feel him twitching toward hardness?
His breathing shifts, and you feel him strain against the impulse of bucking against you.
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
Look at how he's controlling himself for you, Anastasia.
You:
I'm weirding him out / I don't want to stop / I kinda don't want him to control himself.
This little dance persists for three more stops.
The train car empties of some of its passenger load, like a great whale disgorging the contents of its guts onto the beach of the subway platform before being filled back up again mercilessly; with the ebb and flow of riders he pushes back to give you some room before the two of you are crushed together again, and you feel his pecs, his abs, his rock-hard
manhood
. It's really impressive the way he pushes back against the brackish river of pink, tan and dark flesh, and each time he is shoved against you, you grow increasingly bold.
First, you grind the plush softness of your ass up and down the distinct shape of his shaft...and perhaps unable to resist the call of his masculine instincts, he delights you by rolling his hips back.
When he returns again, you actually widen your stance and open your thighs, exhaling a little puff of ecstasy when you feel him his shaft press against you, soaked and slicked beneath the silk of your underwear.
You actually mold your body against his and actually reach up and around to touch his face, looking at it in the reflection of the window. "I'm not a pervert, I swear," he whispers, among other things. "It's these pants, honestly," and "...so you doing anything later?" You don't say anything back to him, and part of it is your own inclination toward mystique, but also you're kind of...staring.
You:
My gosh, he is...really good looking.
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
Interesting, isn't it...at once your type, yet not a type you've explored. Better though, look at those pretty, dark eyes of his...they're long like a fox's. Mixed heritage, perhaps?
You:
Maybe...he's a bit mysterious, no? He has such a nice mouth.
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
You're thinking about it doing things to you, like kissing your neck, your shoulders, sucking your nipples -
You:
-am not -
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
- licking your clit -
You:
Stop! Stop stop, I'm not -
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
Yet here you are, stroking and playing with his cock.
It is true. You are reaching down, exploring him from his tip down the haft of his lance. Through his cargos you easily make out the engorged shape of his glans, the girth of his shaft; you touch him down to his testicles, and when you finally reach your stop, you give him a little mysterious smile, and squeeze out, through the crowd.
For the rest of the day you burned with self-ridicule, your head hung with the chain-weight of shame.
When night fell, you told yourself ardently that you wouldn't
ever
do anything like that again, even as you take out your new curved, fat blue toy with its vibrating little ears. You buzz and fuck yourself, purging yourself of your own depravity, promising that with this orgasm your mind would be clear, and yet...
You're picturing him holding you against the wall of your apartment, staring heatedly into your eyes as he ruts his cock into you, churning your juices and leaving them dripping down his thighs. You fantasize the texture of his lips and tongue against yours, of how your nectars would make his shaft shine and his balls drip with you.
The next day, waking up refreshed and actually leaving on time for once, you discover that the Red Line is, indeed, down for the entirety of the week. You'd been forcing yourself
not
to think about the nameless subway passenger, to focus instead on the project awaiting you at work but the knowledge that this situation has the potential to repeat itself has your heart dancing in your chest.
What if you see him again? Should you ignore him if he talks to you? It's unlikely, millions of people pass through the subway everyday...but...what if?
You join the queue; you climb on and find, of course, that all the seats are taken, so you search for a safe place and brace yourself for the passenger rush, and dismiss the chance that you'd see him again -
Oh wait, there he is, you see him in the reflection of the window at the head of the new flow of commuters and he's moving incredibly fast toward you, holding his arms out to stop himself. This time, you turn to face him and calmly watch as his hands smack against the wall on either side of your head, looking up at him coolly.
You both regard one other wordlessly; he's admiring you with some surprise, though you wonder if he'd purposely chosen this entrance on the off-chance he might see you again.
The Devil on Your Shoulder:
