“Oh, I don’t know,” he said. He looked down on her despondently. It was just too painful a thought setting her free.
“I won’t let you fuck me again,” she warned him.
“Yes, I’m sure. You’re very good at denying me.” His thoughts were on the past when she left him years before. And though that was a dreadful memory, he went ahead undoing the knots at her feet. “Then you’ll see me again before I have to leave?” he asked.
She sat up, a little dizzy, still intoxicated by the sex. “I don’t know, Ian, I’m not so sure this was a good idea.”
“Why’s that? What better fun could there be? If I had my way I’d spirit you off to Europe with me.”
“You’re going back? I had the impression that it wasn’t safe for you.”
“Ah, that’s minor.” He finished letting go her hands and ambled toward a basket of fresh fruit sitting on the table in the room. Plucking a handful of red wine grapes, he popped several in his mouth and threw several her way, Jocelyn incapable of catching any of them. “Here,” he said, moving toward her. Finding her mouth with one grape, his fingers pressed it to her lips, allowing the juice to run down her chin. “You don’t think you’d like to ride my motorbike through the English countryside, or take a barge down the Seine, or hole up in that little villa we stayed at in Tuscany? I still have the key.”
“We were trespassing,” she reminded him.
“But no one knew.”
“We were in our twenties.”
“But you’re hardly out of them.”
“Enough to know that I can’t escape my life running off with a near-do-well urchin in gentleman’s clothes.”
“Of course you can. If you have any life left after letting the world beat it out of you. Try this.” He crouched before her, slowly peeling a thick banana in front of her. Her eyes darted from the erotic fruit to his licentious expression.
“I could shove this up your ass and eat it out,” he posed.
“Ian, no, that’s disgusting.”
“Oh, but it’s sexy. It’s been a long time since I’ve tormented a woman who was so prime. How did I know you’d be in such a mess? Perhaps my intuitive power divined your travail and came to rescue you. Did you ever think of that?”
She laughed and shook her head, after taking a swipe at the banana with her teeth and biting off the end as though she’d l
ike to do that to the head of his penis.
“I won’t change, you know.”
“I wouldn’t expect you to,” she said. “And I wouldn’t want that. But in a saner frame of mind, love, it would be dangerous being found with you now. Totally scandalous. And that has nothing to do with how Reggie would react.”
“Reggie, your cold prick husband?” he asked disdainfully.
“His prick is always warm,” Jocelyn objected. “And now, I have to be going.”
“Ooo, getting edgy are we?” They rose to their feet, Ian smacking her ass. “I will have it again,” he assured her. “Now that I know that you were just fooling with me, making me think you didn’t like getting whipped. I could expand your horizons limitlessly.”
“You’re too damned cocky for your own good, Ian. You always were, and I know whatever scrap you’re trying to weasel out of now has everything to do with that incorrigible irreverence.”
With his blackest eyes he perused the mass of unruly red hair while she restored her clothes stuffing herself back into the mold she’d created for herself. He watched, with a little darkness brewing in his expression as each button slipped through a button hole.
“You’re not so sure of yourself anymore, little scamp,” he observed quite seriously. “You can’t hide that from me. You’re hurting inside and the only way you’re going to change that is to do something drastic.”
“Today wasn’t enough?” she replied nervously.
“No, you need the cure, a long irresponsible summer of madness.”
“Well, thank you, Dr. Doom, I think I’ll try my own methods first.”
“I’m sure you will,” he snickered. But you always know you have me as your back-up plan.
