Melvin collapsed on his couch with a heavy sigh blowing through his lips, the days events running ragged circles in his head and throbbing behind his eyes like the bass from a particularly hectic rap song. He pulled his glasses off and placed them on the end table next to the couch. He needed some aspirin, but the walk from his couch to the kitchen cabinet seemed like a trek far worse than passing through the Sahara Desert with only one good leg and Gilbert Gottfried for company. In short, he was exhausted.
On the brighter side of things, he did have a date with Courtney the cute waitress tomorrow evening. Not only that, but Olivia Crabapple, his boss from hell, had fucked him senseless tonight. What an interesting and totally unexpected day heâd had, and it was all thanks to the mysterious witch heâd accidentally met and her so-called love juice.
Melvin reached for his remote and clicked on the television, flopping to one side on the couch. His stomach rumbled as he searched for something to watch, hopefully something that would tickle his funny bone. He needed a good laugh. Or maybe an interesting documentary on the History Channel to further enlighten his mind. Something about Nazis and how the Allies had outsmarted their Teutonic shit. His stomach groaned again, louder this time, refusing to be ignored.
âPizza,â Melvin murmured. Yeah, pizza sounded great. Pizza sounded like the solution to all of the worldâs problems at the moment. Hey, Iâve got the answer for world peace! Have a slice of pizza! Melvin smiled at the thought; boy, he was in a silly mood tonight.
He reached for the phone and speed-dialed his favorite pizza joint, ordering a pepperoni with mushrooms. He gave them his address, thanked them, and hung up the phone. Whoever had invented pizza delivery was a true genius; Melvin wished he could shake the dudeâs hand and thank him for the good work.
Someone knocked on the door.
âHoly crap, thatâs fast,â Melvin said, but then he figured that there was no pizza place on Earth that could be so efficient as to deliver a pie within a thirty second interval. He rubbed his eyes and pulled himself up from the couch. Who would be at his door at this time of night? He was positive that heâd paid his rent already this month.
He opened the door, and the woman from the elevator stood in the hallway. She held her purse in her hands, toying with it nervously, and flashed a hopeful smile at Melvin as his mouth dropped open at the sight of her.
âHi, Melvin. I... uh... well, ok, I admit it,â she said, her eyes darting back and forth. She acted like Melvin had accused her of some sort of crime, but Melvin had no idea what this woman, who heâd met for the first time today in the elevator at work, could be doing at his door. She was a short blonde woman, hair to her shoulders, middle aged, professional looking. She wore a crisp white shirt under a black jacket and a tight, hip hugging skirt that stopped just above her knees.
âYes?â Melvin said, his eyebrows raising.
âI followed you home. I waited for you, and I followed you. I donât know why. Well, I do know why, but itâs crazy.â
âWhy?â Melvin said; he tried to lower his eyebrows but found himself incapable. They were stuck in an expression of bewilderment.
âBecause... oh, fuck it,â she said and flung herself at him. Melvin stumbled backwards, the womanâs hands on his chest, her lips on his own, her foot kicking behind her to slam the door shut as they tumbled into the room. Trying to keep his balance and stay on his feet, Melvin felt the back of his knees hit the end of his couch, and he flopped backwards, the woman plopping on top of him. They landed on the couch in a tangle of limbs, the cushions bouncing. The woman broke their kiss, giving Melvin a chance to breathe with a gulping breath.
âI saw you in the elevator this morning, and I knew right then and there, I had to have you. After I saw you, I got so randy that I had go into my office, lock the door and masturbate like a madwoman. Do you know how crazy that is? Do you know the last time I masturbated? I was in fucking eighth grade!â the woman said, her face inches away from Melvinâs, her breasts pressed against his chest, her crotch against Melvinâs awakening penis. A crazed, insatiable look flashed in her eyes.
âI knew... I knew that you could satisfy me in ways that no other man would be capable. I knew it just by looking at you,â she said, and then swung her face onto his own, meeting Melvinâs mouth at a slanted angle to give him better access to her tongue. It slipped out of her lips and into Melvinâs mouth, squirming like a wild snake. They made out like two kids on his sofa while his parents were gone for the night, with a desperation that bespoke of adventurous adolescents rather than experienced adults. Melvin wondered if this woman was as inexperienced as he was. She didnât look like the kind of woman who normally accosted strange men in their apartments after following them home. Melvin guessed that it wasnât in her true nature; today was a day of firsts.
She moved a little, her mouth still over his, a tongue rammed down his throat; her nose touching his, inadvertently plugging his nostrils and suffocating him for a moment, just long enough for Melvin to think, âI canât breathe!â It was the move of someone who was not used to what she was doing. Then she moved again, placing her forehead on his, her eyes looking deep into his own. Her eyes were such a light blue they almost looked clear.
Her hands slipped under Melvinâs shirt and rubbed his chest. Then they were at his belt, at the buttons of his pants, fluttering into his boxers and taking his cock in a gentle grip. As much as she seemed inexperienced at making out, her hands were a different story altogether. Melvin gasped as she began to work him, her hand sliding up and down, jerking him off, pausing to tickle or play with his balls. Her hands were magic; they knew where to be and what to touch without having to be told.
âDo you like that?â she said, her fingers flittering along the shaft of Melvinâs rock hard cock. He licked his lips, tried to answer but nothing came out, and then he took a breath and tried again.
âYeah,â he moaned. It was only one word, but it seemed to take a lot of effort for him. How had he gotten in this position? Making out with a complete stranger, getting a hand job from someone he barely knew. He supposed this was something heâd have to get used to after taking the witchâs potion. The witch had told him that women were going to be eating out of his hands, but he hadnât expected anything like this. The woman smiled at him.
âI can tell,â she said. âI can tell you love it in your eyes.â Melvinâs tongue worked in his mouth, preparing itself, so he could speak again. It was going to be more difficult this time because he wanted to say more than one word. An entire sentence actually. He tensed his muscles and forced it out.
