It had been a good game. A spectacularly good game, even though we
|
||
|
lost. All 8 of us had seemed so close, shouting and laughing and
|
||
|
bouncing off the walls and each other. Walleyball is a good game
|
||
|
for exercise if you play 2 on 2, but very sociable 4 on 4. The rules
|
||
|
are vaguely like volleyball (vaguely interpreted, among us at least),
|
||
|
but the big blue ball has the spring of a racquetball. It stings
|
||
|
pretty fiercely, too. We looked down on the cowards who played in
|
||
|
long sleeves, showing off our reddened forearms.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I rubbed my bruises pensively, leaning against the wall in the shower.
|
||
|
I had probably overdone it with that new serve, the one where the
|
||
|
sensitive skin inside the wrist hits hard for backspin, but there
|
||
|
was a woman on the other team I was trying to impress. Her legs were
|
||
|
so long and graceful, stretching lean and strong between her shorts
|
||
|
and knee pads. I savored the memory of one play, leaping to block
|
||
|
her spike, nearly touching her body through the net, feeling her
|
||
|
warm and resilient and alive as we fought for the ball. Seeing her
|
||
|
blush as she came back down, looking away as I noticed her nipples
|
||
|
erect under her damp shirt. I wanted her.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Later, she dove for a low ball, ending up huddled on her knees, almost
|
||
|
cringing at my feet as her teammate reached over her towards the ball.
|
||
|
I reached under the net to help her up, congratulating her quickness
|
||
|
even as my fingers dug cruelly into her red, puffy, forearms. She
|
||
|
smiled at me. I wanted to see that smile again.
|
||
|
|
||
|
By the time the game ended, we were all glowing and sore. I lingered
|
||
|
in the shower, expecting her to take a long time in the women's locker
|
||
|
room. She always did, simply because it took so long for her to
|
||
|
brush out her long hair. Gorgeous hair, but it always seemed to get
|
||
|
tangled up, even though she tied it back. I hoped to meet her in
|
||
|
the waiting room, walk with her to the restaurant where we were to
|
||
|
meet the others. Besides, the hot water felt good, and I was in a
|
||
|
mood for sensual luxuries.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When I finally left, she was waiting for me, tousled and beautiful.
|
||
|
Our friends were gone. "Hi, Will. I forgot my hairbrush." She
|
||
|
tossed her head ruefully. "Could I borrow yours? I hate to go to
|
||
|
dinner looking like this." My hair was cropped so short I had little
|
||
|
use for a brush, but I kept one at home. Wanting to spend a few
|
||
|
minutes alone with her, I didn't mention that she looked magnificent
|
||
|
already. I just invited her to my apartment, which was conveniently
|
||
|
between the gym and the restaurant.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We chatted lightly, easily, as we walked across campus. She was as
|
||
|
exhilerated as I was by the game, the teamwork, the solid smack of
|
||
|
rubber against flesh. She was wearing a leather jacket that took
|
||
|
my breath - it looked supple as brushed silk, softer than the delicate
|
||
|
skin inside her wrist, warm and alive. I had never much liked
|
||
|
leather, but this was different. I contrived to brush her sleeve
|
||
|
casually, and my fingertip felt rough and crude on that magical
|
||
|
surface. I wanted to touch it with my lips.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I left her in my living room while I hunted down the hairbrush.
|
||
|
She admired the heavy, old-fashioned wood, noticing that the painted
|
||
|
design on the back was nearly worn away. She ran her fingers through
|
||
|
my short hair. "How do you get so much use out of this? Or did it
|
||
|
belong to someone else?" I blushed, but she was smiling. Could she
|
||
|
know I got more use out of the back of the brush than the front?
|
||
|
Or did she just think it used to belong to my grandmother? "I
|
||
|
mostly use it in the dark, and the back gets banged against things."
|
||
|
There. Honest, but ambiguous.
|
||
|
|
||
|
She started tugging the brush through her hair, wincing when she
|
||
|
got to a snarl. She handed it to me, turning her back. "Would you
|
||
|
care to help? It goes faster if you can see what you're doing."
|
||
|
She leaned into the strokes as I brushed, stretching like a cat
|
||
|
against the slight pull on her scalp. Her hair was very dark, fine
|
||
|
and soft. I held my hand between the hair and that jacket,
|
||
|
revelling in the raw sensation. She was bending slightly forward
|
||
|
over the back of my couch. Her bottom brushed my thigh. Accidental,
|
||
|
or flirtation? I swatted her with the back of the brush, not very
|
||
|
hard. "Hold still, and let me finish." My voice cracked.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Gods, she was beautiful! She moaned softly, bending further down so
|
||
|
her head rested on the couch, her bottom offered up to my hand.
|
||
|
I stepped back and spanked her, experimentally, not sure how much
|
||
|
she could take. She seemed to enjoy the first few blows, squirming
|
||
|
towards me, arching her back as her hair fell forwards. I pulled
|
||
|
down her sweatpants. I wasn't really surprised that she wasn't
|
||
|
wearing underwear, but I hadn't expected her to be so very wet already.
|
||
|
I spanked her long and hard, holding her down with one hand firm
|
||
|
in the middle of her back, fingertips stroking that extraordinary
|
||
|
leather.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Words fail me. I don't know how to describe the next 5 minutes
|
||
|
so they don't sound dull and banal. Suffice it to say, a good
|
||
|
time was had by all. And I'm sure the couch can be cleaned.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
We finally arrived at the restaurant, not so very late that our
|
||
|
friends suspected the details of our detour. We talked about the
|
||
|
game, and compared the red marks on our arms, boasting of our
|
||
|
courage and skill. Red marks elsewhere, and other skills, were
|
||
|
never explicitly mentioned, though I noticed my new friend
|
||
|
fidgeting on the edge of her seat, and my fingers wandered to
|
||
|
the leather draped over the back of her chair.
