Prologue
My sister is squeezing a lime into her beer and asks. "Guy's have eskimo brothers, but what is that for girls? Cunt cousins? Clam compadre's?" I take a sip of my red beer giggle as I say "Eskihoes!"
"Nooo" she draws out as she clasps her cupped hands together mimicking a clam. "We need something clammy" she claps her hands in my face. My brother chimes in eyes as wide as his smile and brewing with excitement at his brilliance. "She's your clamma!" My sister holds her half drunk beer up as my brother and I follow suit. Just as we are about to clink our glasses she brings her glass back down to the table and says "Wait, how do you become a clamma?" Without hesitating my brother spits out "It's when your friend is fucking and older man and you're screwing his son." We all start laughing as we clink our glasses together and in unison we say "To Clamma!"
My phone vibrates in my pocket. I take it out and see that my apartment complex is calling me. "Hi, I'm trying to buzz myself in, I forgot my key..."Says a soft voice on the other end. God her voice is nice, and so sweet sounding. "...but I somehow called you by mistake."
"That's okay. What is your apartment number? So I know you actually live there." My brother gives me a look and from it I can tell he is asking me if I'm letting a crack head into the building. "It's 215". "Sounds good to me, I'll buzz you in." I hit 9 on my phone and hung up.
For the next week that woman's voice plays in my head and I have to keep reminding myself that it's nothing.

I look down at my little brindle puppy and into her brown eyes. "Let's go girl!" I tell her and she wags her tail and bolts out the door as we make our way down stairs that lead out of the complex. It's dark out and there are not any lights in the park. My puppy wags her tail in excitement! She loves this park, it's hard to get her to leave. As we get deeper into the park I see a shadowed figure of another dog. The ears perk up and look toward us. At the same time the figure of a woman does the same. Lenore's tail is wagging like crazy as she starts pulling toward the other dog. I'm doing my best to pull her back, but she is strong for a puppy! 'Can my dog say hello?' I ask before approaching. 'Sure!' I hear a soft voice say. As we move closer the dogs become excited wagging tails and sniffing one anothers faces. The other dog has long hair but other than that it's too dark to make out anything else. "I think they like each other." The woman coo's. The pups start chasing each other in small circles around us. I feel straps and cord tighten around the back and sides of my legs. I know what's going to happen so I plant my feet wide to keep the leashes from wrapping us together to keep from falling over. I'm doing everything in my power to keep from smacking into this stranger of a woman. The dogs are running around us in circles and all of a sudden I am an inch away with the most beautiful face I've seen. I look down and see her feet standing just inside mine. As my eye's travel up her long legs covered in black tight jeans to a black tank top that rides at the top of her hips just above those jeans, just enough to show some pale skin. Her stomach is flat and resting above that is a perfect pair of tits, about a handful, that I wish were pressing against my chest. In the dark our eye's meet. I glance down at her full lips. I can feel her breath on my skin and for a split second I think of kissing her. At that thought I am so glad that we are not touching because my dick is rock fucking hard. I'm gasping for a breath staring into this woman's eyes. We stay like this for what feels like an eternity and a split second at the same time. "Hi." I say. "Hi." She whispers. I drop Lenore's leash to get us untangled. The leash that this woman uses is the retractable corded ones. She says excuse me as she begins to untangle us by wrapping her arms around me as she retracts the cord into the handle. Each time she touches my waist it sends shivers throughout my whole body, What the fuck? I'm hoping she doesn't notice my rock hard erection that's very apparent in my slacks in the dark of the park as we fumble out of the web. "Here let me help you." I say and take the leash from her hands. I grab her dog by the collar and unhook the leash and let it retract back into itself. "You're the voice from the box!'' The woman says in her soft voice. I hook her long haired lassie dog back on the leash. The dogs are all over each other, biting and pawing at one another like best friends.
"Excuse me?" I say in a laugh, trying to hold lenore back. "When I was locked out of the complex you're the one I called." She says struggling with her pup.
"Oh that was you! Let's walk back together, it would be easier since the dogs seem to be glued together!"
"That makes sense." She smiles in the dark. "What's your pup's name?"
I call her Lenore I say. "What about your's?"
"Ransom."
