"And then, if you're a good boy, I'll ride you until your hips break."
No. I absolutely did NOT spend several weeks driving aimlessly through the mountains between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh trying to 'randomly' hook up with Ashley (And by extension, Rahne) again. They were extremely productive writing sessions where I worked mostly via talk-to-text. It just so happens that I didn't really feel like hiking at any of the trails I passed by.
Yeah, no, even I can tell that's bullshit. I looked at every trailhead for her car, and if I didn't see it, I moved on. But I couldn't tell you if I just wanted to fuck Ashley again or if I wanted to take the chance Rahne would be watching.
ONE FUCKING NIGHT with that woman and... I don't even know what to call it.
Anyway, I got loads of writing done. Nearly two and a half chapters of Book Fifteen beaten into shape long ahead of schedule.
And three Baskerville novellas.
I know, I know- download the Sluts app and hook up with one porn queen and suddenly I've got sex on the brain something fierce.
Well, more fiercely than normal for a guy at least. Like it's suddenly a job that I get paid in pussy for. But pussy doesn't pay the rent. Well, it might for some, but not for me.
So, today I'm forcing myself to stay home cataloging my vast accumulation of books (Why do I have SIX copies of the 1968 American Heritage Dictionary? Five to the sell pile, which is a lot larger than I was thinking it would be! Thankfully I know people who take them off my hands.) and ignore my phone. No work. Just housecleaning.
Before lunchtime, I'd not only managed to box up two fairly large piles of books for resale, but caught myself getting caught up in more than one pulp porn novel and starting to jerk off to the lurid sex scenes. Not that I'm opposed to masturbating, it's how I think through some of my sex scenes after all, but I'm wearing rubber gloves and that makes me think of my visits to the clinic and maybe I should just turn on the SI app and distract myself and how about a nice drive through the mountains or at least make a visit back to the clinic for 'health reasons'?
Fuck man, get a grip! (I have one. On my dick.)
Crap, now I'm even making bad sex jokes with myself. This isn't good.
You know what? I need a change of scenery! I'm going to pop on down to Atlantic City, hit some of the used bookstores down there, maybe even stay for dinner and a show. It's a Tuesday, so the crowds shouldn't be too bad.
Took me another half hour to shower, change and trundle my two boxes of books onto the elevator. I knew a few places down there where the owners would give a good deal in either cash, credit or trade. Knowing me, I'd be back with three larger boxes but that's the price you pay when you're a hoard... collector.
And for those of you snickering that I'm also a whore, I'm not going to quibble 'slut' versus 'whore'. I wholeheartedly welcome the term 'Slut' when discussing my recent sexual proclivities, thank you.
Chatted with Anne, one of my neighbors below me on the way to the ground floor. Her ex-husband would have the kids this weekend and she was hoping to spend time with her girlfriends in Atlantic City. We chatted briefly about where I was hoping to go today and other assorted small talk before splitting off to go our separate ways on the ground floor.
Now, before you get any ideas about my banging Anne later in this story, forget it. Yeah, she's ok for a divorcee- kinda cute, flops between brunette and blonde every season, body's not bad (From what I've seen of it!) BUT she's also got two kids (I got clipped for a reason!) whom I'm not going to mess with (As in mess with their heads you fucking perverts. Not going to get their hopes up that the nice guy from two floors up is going to be their new daddy because he's banging Mom.) and the old rule of 'Don't shit where you eat' (i.e. Don't have meaningless sex with your neighbors, no matter how cute and horny they are!). I brought her up so some of you would stop asking if I lived in a singles building. I don't. The only other single person there is Percy, whom I'm pretty sure is gay and has a thing for Cuban men, but I can't swear to it because he's also in his 80s and hasn't officially come out of the closet yet.
By early afternoon, I was haggling with Carmine at Vintage Books over trading my two boxes for a random collection of Playboy, Penthouse, Genesis and Hustler magazines he'd just gotten in. I only read them for the articles, I swear! (*snort*) Not USUALLY something I buy, I knew the Playboys and Penthouses at least had some pretty solid fiction in addition to the tits and ass and I saw more than one of the Hustlers had autographed covers so the pages PROBABLY weren't stuck together.
Deal done, I spent a little more time puttering around in the stacks, eventually picking up a basket load of additional books, including some adult comix he had stashed away. Again, not my usual thing, but I've been in a mood to try new things lately.
"Hey Jeanie!" Carmine called from the doorway while helpfully watching me hoist the two heavy totes of magazines into the back of my SUV. "This guy just bought all your titty-mags from me!"
"Oh yeah? Hey mister! You want any more?" I turned to look. Standing in the doorway of the shop next door was a tall blonde woman wearing coveralls. Her arms were bare and covered in bright tattoos. I glanced up at the sign over her doorway- Honeypot Tattooing and Piercing. The sign looked new, the woman did not- mid-to-late 50's with a narrow face and it looked like her nose had been broken at least once.
"I'll take a look," I offered, closing up the hatchback. I hadn't quite noticed before, but she was tall! At least six-two with arms bigger than mine, which isn't really a feat since I don't work out or anything. I'm built for stamina, not strength apparently. I pointed at her nose. "Fist fight with a sasquatch?"
"Ha!" Her laugh was a sharp bark, sounding a lot like someone who had recently quit smoking. She led me into the parlor, the walls adorned with tattoo flash art and pegs of piercings. "Roller derby. I'm a blocker for the Honeydrop Harlots."
"Lovely name. How's your season going?" I was paying more attention to the flash on the walls than what she said. Maybe it's time I got myself a tat? Most of the women I knew had them. And I've been thinking about getting my tongue done because fucking hell, the girls with the studs in their tongues? Holy shit does that feel wild rubbing around my dickhead.
"Big fan of roller derby are you?" She pointedly looked down at the bulge growing in my pants. Which didn't really help distract me.
"Tongue stud head," I admitted, not seeing a need to beat around the pubes about it. I'm here to look at the fuck mags she wants to get rid of. No point pretending I'm not thinking about sex. "Known a few women who use them quite skillfully. Thinking maybe I should get one to expand my pussy-eating repertoire. Payback in kind and all that."
"Works for and on me," she affirmed, showing me the bee in the clear yellow bead on the surface of her tongue. "Never have a complaint when giving head- boys or girls. You want to get pierced today?"
