Always and Never

Here's an excerpt from my latest short story Always and Never. I am nearly finished the rewrite and I'll be submitting it to LitE in a few days.

"I see you," he said quietly. Her body pulsed hungrily at the sound of his voice, the timbre so low and masculine. The man simply smoldered. He had the power to soak her panties with just a few words. Another reason to stick around.

She was silent; a small part of her hoped if she was quiet enough he would hang up, giving her the leverage to leave.

But she knew that wasn't going to happen. He wouldn't have to say a word and she would still comply. He would get what he wanted; he always did.

"Why are you sitting in the car? Come in here."

She could hear his breath catch in his throat. He was already stroking himself. He loved to do that while on the phone with her. The rare times he called her at work, she would imagine him seated in his high-rise office, pants undone, a ragged breath coming out slight and sharp as he fondled his balls and whispered for her to tell him what she planned to do to him the next time they were together.

.....

"Baby," she heard him moan and her hips rocked involuntarily at the sound. Traitorous body. "Come inside please. Don't make me beg."

She could hear the slight edge in his soft words. It was all an act. He would make her pay, this she knew. His love came like a two-sided coin: soft and sensuous, rough and deep.

She loved it all.

Yes, despite everything she loved the way he treated her. It made her feel like those college nights all over again, when she drove around at three in the morning with her friends, Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World blaring through the speakers of her Jeep Cherokee. Those nights, with nothing but burger wrappers, endless cups of cappuccino, digital cameras, and best friends...those nights she felt reckless and wanton.

That same feeling, that realization of knowing she was alive, here and now, she felt the same way when she was with him. Those few hours she spent writhing underneath him as he ripped furious pleasure from her body meant so much to her.

She would give in.

She always did.


Hope you enjoyed that! Lots of other goodies in store.


Rock on!
