"You're a smart girl, aren't you?" the shorter man asked.
Tierra stayed silent, her eyes fixed on the floor.
He leaned in closer. "I bet you get straight A's in school, don't you?"
She gave a small nod.
"That's what I thought," he said. "A smart girl like you will learn so much from your momma."
The taller man rose from the sofa, his erection jutting out from his open fly. He kicked off his shoes, stripped off his pants and shirt, and stood naked.
He captured Solana's waist from behind, his body and erection pressing against her. Damn, this feels good. His hands settled on her shoulders, sliding down her arms. One hand gripped her wrist, while the other replaced hers between her thighs.
He began to explore her, each stroke recalling how she had taunted him at the 7-11. Her contemptuous smile had dared him to touch her, as she deliberately swayed her hips, exuding confidence and superiority. You can never have me, you silly pervert, her eyes had mocked.
"Keep your eyes open," said the shorter man to Tierra, his hand tightening around her neck. "Ever been touched like that?"
"No."
"Ever wanted to be touched like that?"
Tierra's lips parted, twitching as if on the verge of speech, but no words came. She glanced at her mother, searching for guidance, but Solana's eyes were closed, her body writhing.
Damn, a fucking virgin, both men thought.
Tierra watched as her mother's feet moved in her stilettos, the click of the heels echoing with each movement. She could see her mother's toes curling inside her shoes as she struggled for balance as the taller man cupped her breasts, his fingers kneading her flesh, teasing her nipples.
"Look at your momma," the shorter man whispered to Tierra, his fingers combing through her hair. "She enjoying it?"
Tierra's lips parted but she said nothing. Her eyes remained locked on her mother. This time, Solana's eyes fluttered open, their gazes meeting. Her mother's eyes--pleading, desperate--seemed to scream what her lips couldn't: I don't want this. But Tierra couldn't make sense of it. The way her mother's body moved--the arching of her back, her lips curling--felt like a betrayal of the look in her eyes.
Is mom enjoying this?
Solana lifted one leg, her knee bending as her stiletto dangled from her toes. As the man's erection slipped between her thighs, her foot dropped to the floor with a sharp click, her thighs tightening around him.
"Cocktease," he muttered, thrusting against her again, drawing a squeal. His gaze shifted to the family portrait on the wall.
"Who's the man in that picture?" he asked, lifting her chin to make her look at the portrait.
Solana hesitated. He slapped her hard on the butt.
"I asked you a question," he said. "Who's in the picture?"
"That's... my husband."
"Why isn't he here to protect you and your daughter?"
"He's dead."
"How?"
"A car accident," she moaned as his fingers slid back inside her.
"When?"
"A year ago."
"Pathetic. Couldn't even drive a car."
"You know what that means," the shorter man sneered. "Men who can't drive can't fuck."
Solana's mind flashed to all the times she'd complained about her husband's cautious driving--how he'd always drive under the speed limit and kept a safe distance between cars and pedestrians, always so careful, so predictable.
"How do you think he'd feel, watching his pretty wife getting fucked by a real man?" the taller man asked.
She glanced at the portrait. "He'd be devastated."
"Do you love him?"
"Yes... I love him very much."
"Whose cock is bigger?"
"Yours is...bigger."
"That's what I thought." He looked back to the portrait. The husband's smile quivered, then crumbled, the edges of his lips sagging downward, his eyes dulling. The canvas seemed to ripple as if the man inside it was trapped, suffocating in his grief.
