I will throat punch the next person who hears what I do and squeals, "Oh, that must be so nice, getting summers off!" Yeah, being legally unemployed or way under-employed four months out of the year is awesome. Constantly wondering if all my classes will happen as scheduled and a never-ending commute among three different schools wears at my psyche. Nine years of being a professional educational nomad, and I don't feel free. I feel trapped. During my endless trips up and down expressways, I fantasize about breaking free. I fantasize about leaving everything behind and going somewhere else. I dream about winning the lottery, flipping off the college president, doling out scholarships to the students I like, and leaving this life behind.
Sex helps.
My lover is visiting tonight, so I'm in the kitchen making dinner. Everything is on the stove simmering away when I get the text. "I'm downstairs." I buzz him in.
He greets me downstairs with a hug and a brush of lips against my cheek. "How's everything?" he asks.
I shake my head, turn, and climb the stairs slowly, knowing he'll be watching the sway of my hips and my legs. "Work is...frustrating. Everything else is okay."
He follows me into the kitchen and noses around the stove. "What's for dinner?"
I smile. "Chicken curry and basmati rice. There's an apple crumble in the oven for later, and I'll heat up some naan when the rice is finished."
I take the lid off the curry, lean forward to stir the contents of the pan, and that's all it takes. He steps up behind me, pressing himself against me. I wiggle my ass against the hard length of his cock. "Coconut milk turns you on, huh?" I ask.
His lips travel over my neck and down my shoulder as his arms wrap around me. "You turn me on. You and that big white ass." I laugh, but the laugh turns into a moan as his hands slide up my body to cup my breasts. He uses his nails across my nipples, lightly, creating little points of friction. It makes me squirm, and he sucks in a breath.
"How long does all this need to cook?" I can hear this smile in his words.
"About twenty minutes."
"Not nearly long enough," he murmurs.
I consider cramming my raging hormones back into their box, but that's just not going to work for me tonight. I arch my back, pressing my butt more fully against his erection and my breasts against his palms. "We have all night, and there's nothing that says we're only allowed to do this once."
"Good point." His hands are under my skirt now, sliding it up over my hips.
"Maybe not over the gas stove, though, love?"
He laughs. "Picky picky..."
