I wish I had never met her. Especially now at 3:18 am, when the last thing I should be doing is ceiling gazing. I wake up with my cock like stone and my dreams suffused with her scent. I wish I could identify that smell. If she smelled like citrus and I could eat an orange, maybe I could get my head clear. Clearer at least. I can’t place it, though. Or straighten any of it out.
She smells like summer, like sweet salt sweat and something that blooms, like the ocean and the sun. I have only seen her in 60-watt fluorescents and slightly waning moonlight, and I actually have no idea what the sun smells like, but I bet it smells like her. Just pulsing and hot.
This morning the touch of my own hand isn’t seeming so uncalled for. An unworthy substitute yes for the soft, moist clutch of her cunt, or her mouth – but sleep will be impossible until my wayward appendage is at least appeased. And so I do what I must, and take myself into my rough palm. My hand doesn’t feel anything like hers but I know exactly what to do and so it works in the way Ramen noodles can still fill you up and taste ok. One hand tugs while the other cups my balls, pulsing my index finger very slightly into my asshole. Jesus, what a gorgeous sensation, when she did that to me. The memory pushes me over and once I shoot on my chest and stomach, I pause for breath and rub the come into my skin in lazy circles, feeling momentarily less urgent but still lacking.
I know the planes of my body well but feel oddly detached from my own touch, remembering how filled up my hands were when I rubbed it into her. I bring a thumb to my mouth and run my tongue over it. I had never tasted my own semen before that night, never been compelled to, but my mind is making the same lazy circles my hands were a moment ago, reminding me of when three of my fingers had been inside of her, how she brought them to her mouth and the sound she made as she sucked.
I think about how I lifted her skirt and rubbed handfuls of wet sand over her upper thighs as she shuddered too. About how by the time I poured my warm beer over the swollen satin folds of her sex and the revitalized length of my dick to rinse away the sand, by the time I was finally inside of her, we were gritty and dirty and so hot for each other that nothing else mattered. I jack off again and fall back into restless dreams of summer sun and warm welcoming skin.
