We entered my apartment after a matinĂ©e at the theater. Melinda had been my lover for a month and we were already discussing whether we should move in together. Despite our obvious differences, after all I was male and she was female, we were compatible in so many ways. Yes, the sex was good but everyday life was even better. After all, we were both intellectuals, or nerds if you prefer. Itâs hard to tell what comes first, discovering that you want that personâs company all the time or discovering that you are highly compatible sexually with that person.
I was cooking supper that night. Melinda, like most Vietnamese, was curious about European style cooking. They might eat their own food at home on a steady basis but they sincerely enjoyed a meal at a European restaurant, the same way white people enjoy a Chinese meal on occasion. I had checked with Ted and he assured me that Hanna could enjoy sausage and sauerkraut as if she came from the middle of Europe.
I was making lasagna that evening, a favourite of Melindaâs. After all, the Italians stole pasta from the Chinese, thanks to Marco Polo. Melinda wasnât fond of cheese but she would eat mozzarella when melted on pasta. Let me correct that. Melinda hated cheese. I allowed Melinda to be a little fussy about food at my place because I had some of the same food quirks eating at her place. I drew the line at some of Melindaâs favourites, like birdieâs feet or tiny fish complete with head, tail and all guts in between. Actually, the fish werenât bad with all the black pepper they were cooked with, until I took a close look at what it was I was downing with my beer.
Like most oriental women, Melinda was a cheap date when it came to drinks. She didnât like liquor or beer and would only drink white wine. Even then, she only had one glass with the meal. This suited my budget. Anyway, I didnât get invited to wine and cheese parties in my profession so this wasnât any imposition.
We sat down to eat and Melinda discussed the play, lingering over any sexual symbolism that she had discovered. When she finally ran out of dirty parts in the play, she asked: âWell, what are we going to do tonight?â
âWell, I thought you could help me with the dishes.â
âNo silly, what are you going to teach me tonight? Iâve been excited about screwing you ever since you picked me up.â
âWell, I think you have oral sex down pat. Letâs try some new positions. What do you want to try first, doggie or woman on top?â
âI want to be on top. Hanna tells me that we Vietnamese women have a talent on top because weâre used to squatting.â
âMelinda, the woman on top position is supposed to put the woman in charge so she gets to play the dick the way she wants it. It means that you need to be very aware of your own body. I think Hanna is right and it could be very comfortable for you.â
âIt sounds great. Is there any disadvantage to it?â
âBecause it puts the woman in control, my experience has been that only ball-busting women really like to be on top. That way, they can get satisfied without worrying about the man. We should only try it if you promise that you will remember that youâre having sex with another person. Promise me you wonât become a ball-buster.â
Melinda readily agreed to that small condition. She seemed excited about learning something new as we talked over the dishes. She couldnât talk about anything else than how we were going to have love that night. That is the mark of the true intellectual. Most people think that the intellectualâs thoughts are so sublime that he/she has no interest in sex. It just isnât so. Once their interest in sex is aroused, the intellectual will show as much curiosity and creativity as with any other subject. I was going to benefit from Melindaâs intellect tonight.
We went to the bedroom and Melinda suddenly ordered me to take my clothes off. I asked why?
âWell, if Iâm supposed to be in charge, I should start taking charge now, shouldnât I?â
âNo, thatâs the wrong way to go about getting to this position. The right way is we make love normally and then you just go on top because we both want it that way. Donât worry. There isnât anything unnatural about this and it wonât make you into something youâre not. Youâre not a ballbuster so donât act like one.â
Melinda relaxed and we went into what was now a familiar routine, slowly undressing each other. Melinda couldnât seem to wait and led me over to the bed and pulled me down on it. We made love as slowly as we undressed. Melinda was learning where I like to be touched and she wasnât shy about letting me know what she liked me to do. We were like old lovers although we still had many things to learn about each other.
I was proceeding downwards on Melindaâs smooth, brown skin when, I put my hand between her legs and parted them enough to get my fingers on her beaver. I parted her lips and gently traced my finger up and down that tight inverted V I was by now familiar with. I had never given Melinda a finger job before but she instinctively knew what to do and opened her legs even wider for better access. Finger jobs have their advantages because it leaves the manâs mouth free for kissing or playing with the womanâs tits. The finger work must be as gentle as a tongue. Most men forget this, which is why women prefer the tongue to the finger. A gentle finger with attention to the tits would drive my white girlfriends bananas, in more ways than one. A yellow woman was no different. Melindaâs tits were perfect for the job. They were firm and small so that I could take half a tit in my mouth without using my free hand. That was reserved for the other tit. Basically, this requires the ability to do three things at the same time. It sounds difficult but it only requires slightly more skill than walking and chewing gum.
Melinda came quickly and forcefully, popping her tit out of my mouth. I took my hand away from her beaver so as to not press too hard. With my now-free hand, I guided her hand to my dick and said:
âHold it gently, just as gently as you want me to touch you. Now get up and put it inâ
