A Rousing Tail

In the significant pantheon of things she hated, what Maxy hated most of all was her birthday.  She hated the idea of taking a day out of the year to celebrate her existence.  She hated surprises that disappointed because they were presents from people who didn’t care.  And most of all, she hated the Facebook posts.
But this year, she thought on the eve of March 16, it was going to be different.
Maxy thought about it all day at work.  A few weeks before, she had met – and was now dating – a lovely older man named Curt, who was well-off but had not yet insisted on buying her much.  He had asked when her birthday was and, when she confronted him with her hatred of birthdays, smiled a cunning smile and promised there would be only one present.
Just one.
Maxy itched with curiosity.  She went into the bathroom at lunch and scratched a different sort of itch, rubbing herself over her underwear until she was panting.  She took a picture of her disheveled pants and texted Curt: Thinking of u babe.
He texted back an hour later: Hot.  Hotter 2nite.
When she got home, Maxy hefted her purse across the living room and went to stand with hands on hips in front of Curt, who was channel surfing on her couch.  "Okay, big boy.  Spill.  You’ve been driving me crazy all day.“
"Uh-huh.”  He didn’t look up, still glued to the television, but the corner of his mouth twitched.
“Curt,” Maxy whined.  Before she could go any further, he was on his feet and had her wrist in his hand, pulling her in close.
“Listen to me,” he said in a low voice that left no room for argument, “you little minx.  Go into your bedroom and sit on the edge of your bed with your eyes shut.”
Maxy stared back, but her hesitation was minute.  "Okay,“ she said, scurrying off to comply.
To her horror, when she sat down, her cunt was soaked.  The commanding tone Curt had used had made her gush uncontrollably.  She folded her legs and waited for him to join her, her hands folded gently in her lap and her eyes squeezed tight.
She heard his footsteps, and then something cool and rectangular slipped into her hands.  "All right,” Curt said, “open your eyes and open it up.”
It was a long, black box with a bow on it.  Trying not to hate the idea of a gift, Maxy slipped off the bow and lifted the lid in between uncertain glances at Curt.  He stood with a stoically serene smile.
Inside was a winding black tail.  It was lush, about as thick as Maxy’s thin wrist, and glowed with luster.  Attached to the end was a slim length of smoothly pointed glass.  Maxy stared at it and then gazed up at Curt in wonder.  "A tail?“
"For you,” he said, then made a very clear “turn-around” motion with one finger.  Maxy did so, squeaking in surprise as he pulled her pants down to her knees.  He pulled her underwear down too, and she bit her lip.
“Already wet, I see.  Soaking.  Good girl.”  This last was right in her ear, and she arched back into him even as a cool, smooth surface caressed her asshole.  She hissed in her breath as the tip pressed inside of her, then backed out, then pressed in again, this time deeper.  She rocked back against it, trying to relax so she could take it deeper.  Maxy had never put anything in her asshole, though Curt had played with her with his fingers before.  She marveled at the cool weight and the feeling of security it brought.
At last it was in all the way.  Curt backed away and patted her on the head, then gave her ass a gentle swat.  Maxy leaped up onto the bed on all fours and looked over her shoulder, unable to hide her smile.
“It’s–so perfect,” she said.
Curt was busy pulling his shirt over his head.  "C’mere,“ he growled, and pushed her onto her back.  Maxy writhed upwards, the tail pushing even deeper into her ass.  She wondered idly if she could wear it at work.

this time two years ago, if I’d told myself I would be in a loving, permanent D/s relationship, there would have been scornful laughter the likes of which this world has never seen.

but here I am, with an understanding of power and grace and strength and support that goes beyond what I could have imagined. we fall seamlessly in and out of play and seriousness, always equals but always understanding why we need the other. he’s my warrior, and I protect him too.

it’s not about toys (though we have a collection), it’s not about knots (though we tie them), it’s not about pain (though there is discomfort when the time is right). it’s the natural rise and fall of strength and energy, and about finding loving ways to feel in control in a world where everything else can fall apart at any moment.  it’s about surrender and responsibility for both of us. and it’s beautiful.

2, 5, 8, 9, 19, 33, 37!

2: a faux-hawk. which I kind of have anyway, with a TON of gel.

5: Alligator Sky // Owl City!

8: one of those underwater rooms in Maldives where you wake up to see fish curiously poking at the exterior of your room.

9: bug-catching. we used to trap “Emperor bugs” (flying termites, with red eyes that my brother thought looked like the Emperor from Star Wars) and it was more fun than it should have been.

19: Satsuma!!!

33: I always thought a pot-bellied pig would be fun.

37: my mom makes something amazing out of canned tomatoes, pesto, feta cheese, and kalamata olives over bow tie pasta. that and Jake made some insanely good cheesy spaghetti stuff once.

Man and Woman

The man saw her across the garden, and his loins stirred.

He looked down at himself, bold and uncovered.  He touched the being waking from slumber between his legs, encouraging it to rise.  He looked up with a primitive shyness in his eyes, but his gaze was unwavering as he consumed her: tiny breasts like plums bulging softly from her tanned chest; delicate fingers, lifting dripping fruit to her bright lips; spine curved like a gentle snake.  The man hungered.

He strode through the foliage, stopping to pet the leopards and stretch out his hand for a raven to perch there.  She still stood at the tree, gazing up at the sun filtered through its branches.

He stretched out his hand to the woman, who turned with no surprise; there was nothing here to startle them, nothing to make their hearts beat faster.  Except each other.

She took his hand and pulled him towards her so he took her thick lower mane in his hand.  Wordlessly, she pressed into him so that his fingers slipped inside.  She was already wet, waiting for him.  He knew how this played out, but he hardened anyway.

In the tree, a monkey hooted her approval.  The man smiled.  He took the woman in his arms and laid her gently on the soft, mossy ground.  Water burbled in the stream as she spread her legs with her hands, inviting him downward with long, slow strokes down her own thighs.

He knelt on the earth and gathered himself in his hand, chasing her fingers with his soft flesh.  He reached her entrance and paused.  A gecko crawled onto his leg.  A curious wolf and her pups stuck their noses out of a nearby bush to take in the scent of rutting humans.

The man looked around him one last time: the garden, tended by unseen hands, filling with animals from land and sky to watch the sacred union.  Many drew close enough that fur and feathers and scales became a part of the sensory experience.

The man plunged.  The woman cried out.  The world paused, to marvel, to take note in awe.  Humanity unified.

The man moved with instinctual precision.  He came completely free of her every time, and she lunged towards him with every re-entry.  Her hand slipped between and below them, to fondle him and hold herself open.  Once, he held her down at the waist, moving so vigorously that she squirmed and spurted.  Her liquid sparkled on his chest in fearless droplets.  His face, tentatively furred, beaded with exertion.

As she writhed, the animals drew closer.  The wolves nuzzled at her breasts and lapped at her nipples.  A sparrow alighted above her mound, when he was withdrawn, and fluffed its feathers over her clit so she ached and stretched and the bird darted away.  The man sucked in his breath and placed his hands on her ass, lifting her to expose her other hole.  Into this he slipped, slick with their natural lubrication.  She tightened, the lines in her face expressing her gratitude, her vulnerability.

The man gasped, the world dotting with color.  He came.  Whiskers tickled at his ass and he clenched tighter.

He fell into the woman’s arms, rolling together in the moss to face each other.  His eyes opened, sleepy, and found hers.  She smiled and touched his face, tracing where the hairs grew.

They were too entangled to notice the dry rasp of bark on scales as a serpent twisted down the nearby apple tree.
