It had been well over a year since I first tried my hand at publishing my erotic fiction online. Sadly, fiction was all that it was, at the time. For years I had been cultivating my interest in erotica of a girl-on-girl nature, be it in literature or visual images. I fantasized about everything I would ever do to a girl if I could get her in my bed. One night last year, I did—with a friend of mine, who I've miraculously managed to remain good friends with (though, regrettably, we've never repeated that enjoyable tryst. But that's another story for another time).
I recently revisited the story I'd written, more than a year ago, and smiled a bit at the idealized version of myself that Lara represented. The truth is, I have no tattoos or body piercings, I own no treasure trove of sex toys, and my personal style tends toward the conservative—though I have been known to rock the fauxhawk a time or two. Anyway, though our outward appearances couldn't be more different, our inner desires were perfectly in sync.
When it comes to women, I'm not interested in dating and romance. What excites me is the seduction aspect, pure and simple. Like Lara, I'm attracted to younger women, and I like the idea of satisfying their bi-curiosity. One night, some six months ago, I got to fulfill those desires, with a girl whose similarities to Beatrice/Bunny (again, not of an external nature, but in terms of her personality and experience) struck me with an appreciation of just how wholly my fantasy was fulfilled when I got to fuck Sammy, this random girl I met in a bar.
I wanted to fuck Sammy the second I saw her. She was sitting at a table in the middle of the bar with two friends, wearing this tight, white cowgirl shirt, jeans and a blazer. I liked her style, but I liked the way she filled out those clothes even better. And her face—she had this perfect face, this amazing combination of soft, sensuous, seductive features (this gorgeous full-lipped mouth that just begged to be tasted) and these big, brown, hopeful eyes. Flawless, pale skin (like mine), complemented by her dark hair (actually, like mine!). It's probably an unhealthy narcissism, but I'm attracted to women who resemble me—especially when they resemble me, but with a better rack. Sammy definitely fit the criteria.
I was probably staring. I didn't care. I wanted her to feel me watching her. I saw her looking back, pulling off the whole demure thing much better than I. She liked that I was watching her, or so I convinced myself. I'd approached girls like her who caught my eye before, girls who I thought might have similar inclinations to mine, but had never met with any success—whether because the girls weren't really interested in me, or because I grew too timid after convincing myself that this was the case, I don't know. I thought I'd try again, and like always, I had pretty high hopes.
So when her friends got up to use the bathroom, but she remained at their table, I took that as a convenient opportunity to walk over and introduce myself. I was classic me, mixing a genuine friendliness with an equally genuine awkwardness, praying that I wasn't coming off as the creepy predator I felt like I was being (though by virtue of being in a bar, I figured she had to be 21, she looked closer to 19)—I'm usually creeped out when I see a guy my age hitting on a girl her age, but there's that old double standard for you.
Sammy definitely seemed receptive and polite, if not amused, at my small talk and innocuous chatter. She even laughed at some of my lame jokes, and god help me, as sweet and innocent-looking as she was, she had a pierced tongue. I thought immediately of the possibilities. I had a pierced tongue myself, when I was younger, and my partners seemed to appreciate the way the jewelry enhanced my already well-established oral talents. But I had yet to be on the receiving end of pierced tongue's attention.
I won't bore you with the details of my pursuit, which was much more high-school like in its execution than I would have liked. . .
Me: (emerging from my stall—we have the bathroom to ourselves) Hey Lupe?
Lupe: (Sammy's friend, washing her hands by this point) Yeah?
Me: Does your friend like girls?
Lupe: Yes! And she totally thinks you're hot.
Me: (spinning around, doing a little dance) Really? I was kind of wondering, 'cause that guy has his hands all over her.
Lupe: Yeah, they have this weird relationship. Like, he thinks he owns her or something, blah blah blah . . .
Actually, she didn't say "blah blah blah," I was just drunk and stoned and thrilled to hear that this fine chick liked me, I didn't pay attention to what she had to say about Sammy and the guy who kept touching her in an incredibly familiar way. But that was just bad omen number one. I did this lover's tarot card reading before I went to pursue her for real, and the card that came up was the "forbidden lover" and it warned me: this would be a passionate affair, but would end in heartache. I decided to take the risk.
I went about the business of seduction, hoping she wouldn't notice what an amateur I was. Not that I was used to being an amateur! I've spent the last 10 years perfecting my methods for seducing men, and have grown quite proficient at it, thank you very much. But women—that was a whole other ballgame.
It didn't take much seduction on my part. Sammy was more than willing, but she did need to be given a push. She agreed to come back to my place to watch a movie with me, I sat next to her on the couch. I let a few minutes of the movie play before I couldn't hold back. I started by stroking her hair, what I hoped was a benign gesture, but I just had to touch her. When she turned her face toward mine, I kissed her; I got to feel her mouth's tender softness with my lips, my tongue grazed against the cool metal of her tongue stud. I got bolder and raised my hand to touch her breast. I had been watching her cleavage hungrily all night and could hardly believe I was about to hold one of her luscious tits right in my hand.
She broke off her kissing, suddenly, and drew back. Oh, fuck, I thought. I moved too fast, I scared her off.
"I should tell you, I've—I've never done this before."
"What," I joked, "You've never had sex before?"
"Of course I've had sex," she said. "Just, never with a girl. I like girls—I just never got around to it."
