Wojo couldn't get the damned book out of his head. It was easily the sexiest, most titillating thing he'd ever read. Hands down. The hundreds of Playboys and Penthouses that he'd spent hours thumbing through and...doing other things to...paled in comparison. No pictures, just words. Pages and pages of lustful passages that left him hard, leaking and yearning for more.
He'd never even heard of Erica Jong's Fear of Flying until Harris lent it to him as a way to curb his pre-flight jitters. He'd been tasked with the duty of escorting a prisoner out of state and was not looking forward to the trip. Everyone in the department knew that he was scared shitless of flying, even Barney, whose own pep talked did little to nothing to alleviate his nervousness. Barney had offered to arrange for someone else to take over the job, but Wojo had already decided that it was a done deal that he would be going. After all, the tickets had his name on them. Little did he know as he settled into his aisle seat and flipped to the first page that he would be in for a ride more exciting than what the flight leaving from LaGuardia was going to offer.
He managed to get almost a hundred pages deep during the hour-long flight to Cleveland. As the fates would have it, his captive partner had dozed off almost immediately after takeoff, and there wasn't a soul in the row of seats across from him. This stroke of good luck led his mind to a dangerous place as his cock began to stiffen while reading about the braless main character's nipples hardening beneath her dress. He let out a quivering sigh, suddenly thankful that he'd decided to forgo wearing underwear.
'Should I?' he thought, even though he already knew the answer. He squirmed in his seat, tugging at the crotch area of his snug slacks to give himself room, though it was really just an excuse to touch himself. He dared to clamp his fingers on it, almost immediately feeling the wetness drip onto his thigh as the organ pulsated in his grip.
'Not now,' he said to himself. 'Not yet.'
The drive from the airport to the precinct in Cleveland seemed like an eternity. His prisoner, a schlub named Clooney who'd had the unmitigated gall to be married to two women at the same time, more than made up for his lack of conversation on the plane by prattling on about how there was a direct correlation between his status as a bigamist and his being a Gemini.
"Ever since I was a kid, I've always had to do things in twos," Clooney said. Wojo informed him that, while the excuse was amusing, he'd have a better chance of getting away with marrying a third woman than the judge having leniency on him because of his astrological sign.
Wojo quickly wrapped up the business at hand and left the precinct without dawdling, bypassing several fast-food restaurants on the way to the motel despite needing a bite to eat. His growling stomach aside, there was a more important matter at hand than eating. The book was burning a hole in the passenger seat of the rental car. The anticipation of what might lie in the two hundred and some-odd pages he had left to read sent his hormones into a frenzy, and had undeniably made his sexual appetite overrule his hunger for food. It didn't help matters that the woman at the front desk of the Days Inn was openly flirting with him, her C-cup breasts poked out like two perky mounds beneath her tight brown blouse as she took his credit card.
"Wojciehowicz?" she asked, batting eyelashes that were obviously fake and adorned with too much mascara. She'd pronounced the third syllable like how instead of ho, but he didn't bother to correct her. "Polish?"
"Good guess."
He stared at her very attractive face, wondering why women often piled on makeup when they'd be a lot prettier without it. At any other time, she could have easily been another notch in his headboard, but this was a business trip, not a leisurely one, and there was other pressing business awaiting him within the pages of Ms. Jong's steamy novel.
"So, you're only going to be with us for the night?"
"Uh, yeah. I'm headed back to New York in the morning."
"New York? How exciting! I've always wanted to go there. Is the Statue of Liberty really as big as it looks on TV?"
"Bigger."
"Wow. Seeing something that majestic up close would be so amazing. It would take my breath away."
