It's Saturday, and we're tooling around, heading back from brunch at Mike's Place. Katie has her feet up on the front dash, her lovely calves tempting me, just at the edge of my sight line as I drive. I glance right and see she's let her skirt ride up a good bit too. Just barely below the panty line. It's her personal siren call. She's pretty much mocking me.
And damn, the way she keeps swinging her feet to that Taylor track. Her toes all pink-polished. Her skin so soft and sweet. Her anklet dangling.
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in
Your wildest dreams
She's delightful. And once again, I feel myself swelling in my cage. Or rather, trying to swell. In
her
cage. After all, she holds both the keys. But of course, that's the whole point. She knows exactly what's she's doing.
At Park Street, I stop to let a young mom cross with her toddler. She's busty and blonde, but I don't really notice her until her boy drops his Tigger, as they hustle past our car, and the mom spins back to retrieve it.
And suddenly, there it is. The young mom bends low, with her tight, ripped jean shorts all flexed, sweetly framed in the windshield. A perfect peach.
Katie glances over at me and smirks. And in one smooth motion, her legs are down and she's leaning into me, finger nails grazing my neck, whispering in my ear.
"Oh my," she murmurs, "isn't
that
a sight. I bet you she's got herself a
real
man, who takes that ass any time he wants."
Then she's all girly and giggly, "not like
some
guys we know, who can go
weeks
without any action, huh babe?"
Against my will, I find myself whimpering. I close my eyes for an instant, trying to steady myself.
But Katie's having none of that. She's snaking her right hand up my bare leg and giving my nuts a firm squeeze through my gym shorts. I all-out groan. She laughs. And she wins again.
And then the mom is gone, and I'm taking a left on Jefferson, and Katie's legs are back up on the dash, her feet back doing their hypnotic thing. Leaving me throbbing.
This is how the day goes.
----------
Like earlier, at Mike's, we've just been served our plates. We're sharing stories from our work weeks. It's a light moment. We're catching up, taking turns- there's plenty of laughing.
Then I'm telling her about this embarrassing gaffe that Tony made at the weekly unit meeting- the one I just started running. Stupid Tony- got all nervous and said "titties" instead of "cities." The whole conference room was snickering. I had to scramble to save face for him. And to keep from laughing myself. Funny story.
But Katie isn't looking at me. Her brow is furrowed, all focused on precisely filling her waffle squares with syrup. When she's satisfied, she stuffs a drippy wedge into her mouth, chews, and smiles.
A strand of syrup spills out the side of her mouth, dribbling down toward her chin. Before I can alert her, she locks me in a cool stare, and jerks her hand up, signaling "wait."
She lets the moment linger, as she swallows. And then her tongue pops out, ever so slowly edging its way down and all the way across her lower lip, savoring the sticky sweetness. Eyes still locked on mine the whole voyage.
Then she licks back across her teeth line, all feline and Cheshire, before her tongue disappears into her grin.
"Poor Tony," she says "always getting so flustered."
But somehow she doesn't sound so sympathetic.
Then she reaches into her blouse and casually pulls out her chain, letting my keys hang out in front, for all to see. They're silver and have heart-shaped heads. But what makes me shutter is the pendant hanging between them. The new gold one I just gave her at her birthday. The one of a rooster in a birdcage. Damn, what was I thinking?
She grins and says, "Actually, I bet Tony was really cute. I think guys are adorable when they get all flustered." She giggles and flicks the chain with her forefinger. "It's one of my favorite things."
I feel my cheeks redden, as she takes another bite, all casual. My eyes have gone wide, and my breathing's gone shallow. And my mouth, it's firmly shut.
I'm just nodding slowly. Bobbleheaded.

At home, I'm halfway done cutting the back lawn, when Katie waves me in, giving me a come hither sign through the big kitchen window.
I turn off the mower, wipe my brow, and shuffle in, finding her standing by the long counter. She's changed into a loose pink scoop neck, with the V of her pert cleavage all on display. As are the heart-shaped tops of my keys. Glancing down, I see she's wearing gloriously form-fitting black high rise shorts. Oh, dear god. My mouth starts watering, and I freeze in place, transfixed by the vision of her.
Then she sees me standing slack-jawed, and giggles at my predicament. She leans low toward the counter, jutting out her perfect ass in the process. I gulp as she's gives her backside one slow enticing circular sway. I'm being summoned for duty.
I scurry over to stand behind her. She's perusing today's list, which I see is extensive. It fills a full page. And damn, she's sucking on a pen as she does so, nodding little "uh huhs" of satisfaction with her plan. She looks up and smiles, handing me the sheet of paper.
"Here you go, babe. Take a good look now. You've got a busy afternoon."
Sliding her hand around my waist, she sidles in next to me. She must have just washed up, and she smells heavenly, all floral and sweet. And I can feel her breast pressing softly on my side, as she watches me scan her honey-do.
A lot of it is the usual fare: finish in the yard, scrub down the bathrooms, vacuum the stairs and the living room, do the laundry, and of course, handwash her panties.
Then there's some specifics for tonight: make a green salad, air fry some potatoes, have the grill ready to go, and cue up on Amazon that old noir we were discussing. And just in case, have the massage oils on hand too.
At the bottom of page, there's one more item. It's more narrative than list, and it's underlined, with a big heart next to it in the margin: once I come in from mowing, she instructs me to be naked the rest of the afternoon. And I am to send her selfies exactly on the half hour.
Every
half hour.
And then she stipulates: '
