"I will not have 'actual sex' with an eighteen-year-old on my conscience, William. As for who you will become, I've probably been of too much influence already!" Miss Frost declared. She was certainly right about that, though she must have imagined she was being more theatrical than prophetic--and I didn't yet know just how much of an "influence" (on the rest of my life!) Miss Frost would be.
This time, she showed me the lotion she used--she let me smell it on her fingers. It had an almond fragrance. She didn't straddle me, or sit on me; we lay sideways with our penises touching. I still didn't see her penis, but Miss Frost rubbed her penis and mine together. When she rolled over, she took my penis between her thighs and pushed her buttocks against my stomach. Her half-slip was hiked up to her waist; I held one of her bare breasts in one hand, and her penis in the other. Miss Frost slid my penis between her thighs until I ejaculated into the palm of her hand.
We seemed to lie in each other's arms for the longest time afterward, but I realize that we couldn't have been alone like that for nearly as long as I imagined; we truly didn't have much time together. I think it was because I loved listening to her talk, and the sound of her voice, that I imagined the time as passing more slowly than it actually did.
She drew me a bath, like the first time, but she still wouldn't completely undress, and when I suggested that she climb into the big bathtub with me, she laughed and said: "I'm still trying to protect you, William. I wouldn't want to risk drowning you!"
I was happy enough that her breasts were bare, and that she'd let me hold her penis, which I still hadn't seen. She'd gotten harder and bigger in my hand, but I had the feeling that even her penis was holding back--a little. I can't explain this, but I felt certain that Miss Frost was simply not allowing her penis to get any harder or bigger; perhaps this was, in her mind, another way in which she was protecting me.
"Does it have a name--having sex the way we did it?" I asked.
"It does, William. Can you say the word intercrural?" she asked me.
"Intercrural," I replied, without hesitating. "What does it mean?"
"I'm sure you're familiar with the prefix inter, in this sense meaning 'between,' William," Miss Frost answered. "As for crural, it means 'of or pertaining to the leg'--between the thighs, in other words."
"I see," I said.
"It was favored by homosexual men in ancient Greece, or so I've read," Miss Frost explained. "Not a part of my library-science studies, but I did get to spend a lot of free time in a library!"
"What did the ancient Greeks like about it?" I asked her.
"I read this long ago--I may have forgotten all the reasons," Miss Frost said. "The from-behind part, maybe."
"But we don't live in ancient Greece," I reminded Miss Frost.
"Trust me, William: It's possible to have sex intercrurally without exactly imitating the Greeks," Miss Frost explained. "One doesn't always have to do it from behind. Between the thighs will work sideways, or in other positions--even in the missionary position."
"The what?" I asked her.
"We'll try it next time, William," she whispered. It might have been in the midst of her quiet whisper when I thought I heard the first creak on the basement stairs. Either Miss Frost heard it, too, or it was merely a coincidence that she took that moment to glance at her watch.
"You told Richard and me that you'd been onstage--that you had acted--only in your mind. But I saw you in those Drama Club photos. You'd been onstage--you had acted before," I said to her.
"Poetic license, William," Miss Frost replied, with one of her theatrical sighs. "Besides, that wasn't acting. That
was merely dressing up--that was overacting! Those boys were clowns--they were just fooling around! There was no Richard Abbott at Favorite River Academy in those days. There was no one in charge of the Drama Club who knew half as much as Nils knows, and Nils Borkman is a dramaturgical pedant!"
There was a second creak on the basement stairs, which both Miss Frost and I heard; there was no mistaking it this time. I was mainly surprised that Miss Frost seemed so unsurprised. "In our haste, William, did we forget to lock the library door?" she whispered to me. "Oh, dear--I think we did."
We had so little time--as Miss Frost knew, from the beginning.
UPON THE THIRD CREAK on those basement stairs, on that most memorable night in the clearly unlocked First Sister Public Library, Miss Frost--who'd been kneeling beside her big bathtub while she thoughtfully attended to my penis and we talked about all sorts of interesting things--stood up and said in a clarion voice, which would have impressed my friend Elaine and her voice-teacher mother, Mrs. Hadley: "Is that you, Harry? I've been thinking that those cowards would send you. It is you, isn't it?"
"Ah, well--yes, it's me," I heard Grandpa Harry say sheepishly, from the basement stairs. I sat up straight in the bathtub. Miss Frost stood very erect, with her shoulders back and her small but pointy breasts aimed at her open bedroom door. Miss Frost's nipples were rather long, and her unpronounceable areolae were the intimidating size of silver dollars.
When my grandfather stepped tentatively into Miss Frost's basement room, he was not the confident character I'd so often seen onstage; he was not a woman with a commanding presence, but just a man--bald and small. Grandpa Harry had clearly not volunteered to be the one to come and rescue me.
"I'm disappointed that Richard didn't have the balls to come," Miss Frost said to my embarrassed grandfather.
"Richard asked to be the one, but Mary wouldn't let him," my grandfather said.
"Richard is pussy-whipped, like all of you men married to those Winthrop women," Miss Frost told him. My grandfather couldn't look at her, with her bare breasts showing, but she would not turn away from him--nor did she seek her clothes. She wore just the pearl-gray half-slip in front of him, as if it were a formal gown and she had overdressed for the occasion.
"I don't imagine Muriel was willing to let Bob come," Miss Frost continued. Grandpa Harry just shook his head.
"That Bobby is a sweetheart, but he was always a pussy--even before he was pussy-whipped," Miss Frost went on. I'd never heard Uncle Bob called "Bobby," but I now knew that Robert Fremont had been Albert Frost's classmate at Favorite River Academy, and when you're in a boarding school in those formative years, you call one another names you never hear or use again. (No one calls me Nymph anymore, for example.)
