Sunday was spectacular. I left Brenna’s baby shower after spending time with A and A and their 17-day-old daughter E. It was earlier than I expected but I was already half way to Muncie and I didn’t want to make the 40-minute trip home just to spend an hour cleaning before leaving again.

Instead, I went to the Muncie Mall and picked up two new horror novellas and a squared journal (for you!) After that, I went to Clair’s and picked out some new earrings and hair accessories. Then, I drove to Greek’s and ordered some breadsticks to snack on while I read a reimagining of The Fall of the House Usher. I had to kill an hour before coming over because we agreed on 5 and you never responded when I messaged to ask if I could come by earlier.

When I did come by, we ate pizza and played the couple’s version of We’re Not Really Strangers. You apologized for not reading our couple’s workbook – and for the state of your house. But you’d worked so many hours of overtime, I didn’t expect anything from you.

We watched the rest of The Addams Family and then the alien invasion movie, Significant Other. We talked for a while about our childhoods and our feelings. I don’t remember exactly what was said but you also made us snacks to eat at midnight.

You sat next to me on the couch and put your arm up, inviting me to come closer. We made out for a while before you patted your leg and invited me to sit on your lap.

I straddled you and our lips were magnetized. Your tongue on mine, a fire in my belly, and an ache between my legs. Your hands running all over me. You wanted my breasts so I pulled the top of my dress off and you took one in your mouth.

I don’t know what seduction god or demon blessed you with such a magical tongue, but it felt like something divine happened while you worshipped my body. We stopped for a bit and got ready for bed. We kissed some more, me naked and you down to your underwear. If I weren’t on my period, we probably would have had sex.

Instead, I asked if I could touch you. You said yes. I whispered into your ear to ask if I could take you into my mouth. Almost immediately and a little breathlessly, you said yes again.

Your cock is the singular desire of my womb. It aches for you. The silkiness of you in my mouth – god how I missed it. I took you in my mouth and listened to your moans and signs. Every sound of pleasure that escaped your lips was a shot of desire, a deep ache to take all of you into my pussy. But we didn’t go that far. You came in my mouth, shuddering and shaking. I fell asleep aching for more but still not ready to take that final step over the threshold to sex.
