The Works
A Gentle Piece of Erotic Fiction
The door, rusty as ever, moaned ever so slightly, nearly pushing back, testing my strength, as I crossed the threshold into the pizza parlor. The stout aroma of the various cuts of meat and vegetables used in the pizza making process mixed well with the warm, thick air carried in by the July evening breeze. My gaze and my gait followed a similar path to the front register. The growling of my stomach directed my eyes across the menu. It all seemed foreign and dangerous, my sense for risky actions weighed down by the heavy mid-summer air. Dropping my eyes to the level of the counter, one need was replaced by another, one hunger overshadowed by a more powerful urge.
She was small and dark, a figure perfectly silhouetted by the heat radiating from the oven to her back. Her auburn cheeks were speckled with flour, the collateral damage of a battle won against a delicacy. Her shirt was a similar battlefield; the remains of pizzas come and gone added more decoration than the logo embroidered just above her breasts. Her jeans were slung low. A smile crept upon her lips as she asked me what I would be having this afternoon. A strand of black hair escaped a messy ponytail.
I stumbled into my words, by my eyes stayed fixed. I rattled on about how a recent bout of indecision had quickly clouded my judgment. She rocked back and forth, seemingly reviling in my loss of word.
"Well I'm going to go wash my hands while you sort this thing out, sir," she winked and turned away.
Before I could form any kind of response, she streamed off through the back doors. My irrational behavior to this point was washed away by instinct. Before I knew that I was in motion, my feet carried me through the back doors, toward the restroom. The door was slightly ajar as she stood, ass to me, rinsing her hands under the tiny faucet. My hand was on the door and a new passion burned through my veins.
