1. ~Not a Single Care In the World~
Slack-jawed, wide-eyed, and more than a little tipsy, Sydney sat on a stool in the festively decorated bar, listening to her new friend intently. The greens and reds of Christmas-season were an odd backdrop to their conversation.
Heather spoke in a silky, deep and musical voice. It had the clear enunciation and the timbre of a person born to be heard. She should be a lawyer or politician; generally anything where one needs to make people pliable. Sydney certainly felt like putty while listening to her speak.
But her wonderful voice was saying things you wouldn't expect out of this description. They weren't exactly ponderous ideas of her philosophical musings. No. She spoke of vividly torrid, rapturous things.
Heather was rattling off a list of kinks she'd enjoyed, recounting her colourfully detailed experiences, and describing some peculiarities of the human anatomy which Sydney had thought were dreamt up by the pornography industry.
By now, every story she told was already past the threshold of moral ambiguity and went well-beyond socially unacceptable. You shouldn't say such things in public. The language she used was so casual in its eroticism, that the professional quality of her voice seemed so out of place.
It was making Sydney blush, and her blood run quick. She'd never heard someone speak so candidly about sex in all her 34 years of life. At first, she had been so embarrassment hearing these things, that she kept looking over her shoulder, like a defenseless creature cautiously drinking from crocodile-infested waters, who needed to be quick to escape at the slightest sign of danger.
It didn't take long for Heather to enthrall her, though. Now, Sydney was totally captive to what she was hearing. The new friend reddening her cheeks was devilishly crude and, because of this, Heather was entirely alien to her: a woman completely uninhibited by social mores and altogether unshackled from the concept of shame.
Sydney had been raised in a very open and nurturing environment, where a dirty joke was welcomed by all, and the occasional slip of the tongue or mishandling propriety was forgiven as a purely human occurrence. But this candidness was positively humbling to her. She thought herself confident, open-minded and even a little risqué, but the sensual redhead made her look like a Victorian prude by comparison.
As Heather described her sex life, her audience of one thought that, to this strange, alabaster-skinned creature, hedonism seemed like a basic tenet of life; Public sex or BDSM were a basic expectation; role-playing was an artform to be mastered, not something to be used to shake things up once in a while; things like threesomes, anal sex, and double penetration were aperitifs for this woman. In essence, she was an insatiable connoisseur of the pleasures of the flesh, and Heather flaunted her expertise with a passion as fiery as her straight, dark-red hair.
People were starting to take notice, giving them dirty looks and shaking their heads in disapproval. Neither of the women noticed, including Sydney who was no longer aware of her surroundings. Heather sat in front of her with her head held high, back straight, chest out and proudly proclaiming herself a âtotal slutâ.
Sydney simply continued to listen and stare incredulously into Heather's green eyes as the woman finished another story, which had begun with describing a prolonged tryst she had enjoyed with her current boyfriendâs parents over the summer.
The poor guy knew they had an open relationship, and presumably enjoyed his own fun on the side. Heather wouldn't know. She described herself as a 'relationship anarchist'. So, obviously, her boyfriend might benefit from that depending on how charming he could be.
But he also had no idea that, over an entire weekend, his girlfriend had been taken every which way by his dad while she alternated between being lovingly eaten out by his mother and enjoying the taste of older womanâs pussy.
ââŠoh yeahâŠâ Heather continues with an afterthought âand an impregnation fetish. OH, GOD! Those are fun nights, especially with strangers or... uh, authority figures. Like my old college professor!" she giggled. It was a surreally innocent sound considering the subject.
"I usually work it in right at the end of the first round, when heâs about to cum. The way I see it, either he freaks out and leaves right after, or heâs into it and we keep going all night.â That one struck a chord. Sydney speaks up, so overwhelmed by curiosity that she risks asking for more details.
âOh my god⊠how do you even?.. How do you even approach that in the middle of sex?!â she asks, her sex-drive beginning to overtake all common sense. She shouldnât be encouraging this girl. Theyâd only met a couple of hours ago, and she was obviously outside the norm of people Sydney usually associated with. She was probably outside the norm in general. What kind of social circles does someone like this even become a part of? Certainly none which Sydney involves herself with.
âI ask him to come inside me. Well⊠asking is putting it mildly. I beg. The guys I attract seem to get off on that. Maybe that's just men in general. But I figured out pretty quick that it comes from the animal side. So I now I lean into it and, after I beg him, I tell him Iâm coming too. That gets them over the finish line, and as theyâre about to burst I just say⊠ahem.â
She clears her throat as if preparing for a performance. She gives one, and loudly at that.
âYES! YES! PUT A BABY IN ME! KNOCK ME UP, PLE-EEEASE!â she finishes by drawing out the final word with a crescendo culminating in a squeal. Her eyes roll to the back of her head. Her brow furrows and she grits her teeth as if she's pulling off a band-aid or, more to the point, as if she's having an orgasm.
Heather is positively Oscar-worthy and she bursts out laughing at the end. Sydney raises a hand to her mouth, mostly to cover the smile thatâs dismantling any façade of shocked expression. Sydney could only pretend she was offending her sensibilities. In fact, Heather was positively changing those sensibilities with every lurid sentence she spoke.
âOH! MY! GOD! HEATHER! WHAT! THE! FUCK!â Sydney punctuates every word with feigned indignance. The libations have her completely uninhibited, but the feeling of having her boundaries pushed, bent and broken like this was more intoxicating than the alcohol. She joins Heather in explosive laughter. They donât notice the barkeep waiting for their attention.
âLadies.â He says, arresting their rambunctiousness for a moment. âSorry to say this but you need to leave. Youâre upsetting my customers.â He says, eyebrows raised, implying his impatient frustration that these grown women should have more self-awareness. Perhaps they should.
As they turn around, they see that most of the bar is staring daggers directly at them, with the odd smile or leer thrown into the mix. Heather and Sydney break out in more laughter, and they giggle all the way through paying their bill, gathering their things and stepping out of the door.
"Well, can't come back here again." is how Heather loudly says her goodbye to this particular watering hole. Sydney continues to laugh and blushes even harder.
2. ~What Shall Two Drunken Girls Do?~
Thereâs not much conversation between them until they get manage to hail a car a couple of minutes later. Theyâre too busy laughing at the situation in the cold December air. To any passer-by, they just seem to be in the spirit of the season. If only they knew what they were laughing at.
Sydney is besides herself with her own comportment, but also past caring at this point. Sheâs drunk enough to simply enjoy the festiveness of the moment with no inhibition. It feels very pure and liberating, like an out of body experience.
Heather doesnât seem to care in general. The only thing the alcohol does for her is loosen her up enough to have a good time with a relative stranger; otherwise she seems like she tells these stories with the same confidence of practice with which an old man might tell his grandkids a cheesy joke. However, she canât help but feel a connection to Sydney, despite the girl obviously sharing only a fraction of her natural lasciviousness.
As they get into the cab, they realize that they have no idea where theyâre going. Other than drinking at the bar and getting to know one another, they hadnât made any plans. Now that that was done, they had to consider where this was going.
âUuhhh... wanna come to my place?â Sydney proposes. A good sign. Heather decides to push it one step further, though.
âNo. How about you come to mine?â she offers instead. âI have a hot tub.â She finishes while pumping an eyebrow up and down in a comical suggestiveness. The implication is pretty clear despite the tinge of humour.
âHell yes!â Sydney yells. The cabbie is just patiently waiting for an address, enjoying the view just as much as the thought of what his two passengers might get up to after their ride is done. Heather tells him where to go and the driver finds that he has to unglue his eyes from the rearview mirror before proceeding.
About 20 minutes later, Heather is fumbling with her keys, and more giggles ensue. Sydney is trying to stifle her laugh and getting red in the face as a result.
âI swear to God, Iâm really good at finding the hole, most of the time!â Heather jokes. Giggles turn into another bout of hysterical laughter from the two, made even louder when Heather drops her keys.
Suddenly, the door unlatches and swings open. A man stands in front of them, dressed in a bathrobe, looking groggy.
âIt's 3 in the morning, Heather.â he says with stern calm. The matter-of-fact remark makes both girls immediately shut up. Sydney stares at him like a deer in headlights. He was scowling but that did nothing to make him any less handsome.
Dirty blonde or light-brown hair just beginning to gray at the side, piercing eyes of a light colour Sydney couldn't quite make out, and a clean shave that accentuated sharp, wolfish features. He was also obviously about the same age as they were, but seemed to have the patience of a much older man.
âSorry, daddy.â Heather replies sheepishly, as if on cue. The man sighs. Sydney looks at her new friend, bemused. Her voice changed drastically when she spoke to her boyfriend. She thought that this is probably what Heather sounds like when she calls him daddy during sex, too.
âCome in and go into the basement if youâre gonna stay up. I need my sleep.â He says calmly, seemingly used to Heatherâs antics.
âOkay, daddy. Sorry.â She repeats. It sounds so weird in contrast to her normal way of speaking.
