oh hey. so i wrote something for this other blog—a sort of sex writing collective that i started with a couple of friends. i’m moving house now and there’s not enough quiet these days to write, but i hope to get back to working on this blog soon.
ps: eventually i will coerce my comrades into some kind of anonymous signing of their posts. for now, it’s a free for all. but this is all i’ve written.
“I like you. I’d like to know you. And, of course, fuck you.”
He had his cock pressed so tightly into my thigh that it almost hurt. I had forgotten how hard young men can get. I eased back some and felt the emptiness, the phantom ache of that pain. Without thought, my hips arched up to meet him again.
I wanted to feel the rough weave of his trousers on my bare vulva. To rub my cunt over his thigh and his cock. My leg snaked around his as I lowered myself over the thick, hard line of him and rocked back and forth, lightly. I felt his breath part my hair just before he whispered in my ear, ‘Your pussy is marking me.”
My face grew hot. All of that wetness and want slipping out from inside me. It unnerved me. He bit my ear lobe gently. “I can smell you. You’re perfect and ripe.”
Even with his words, his breath on me, it still wouldn’t be true to say that I felt wanton or that I didn’t care about his age. My chest beat too fast and hollow. I wasn’t prepared for where we were, in this alcove between rooms, in this museum where I’d gone for the day to escape the closeness of people. To seal myself off in thought. After his words, I couldn’t look him in the eye. I stared down, to where my foot mashed the crease of his pant cuff over his green suede Adidas.
“Nice trainers,” I said, nervously. I could hear the slight edge in my voice. He reached under my skirt and trailed his fingers lightly down the damp slit of my ass. Then he grabbed a handful of my flesh and yanked me closer. It felt like his cock could sever my leg at the hip. I let out a quiet gasp.
“Don’t make me tell you that I don’t care when you were born,” he said. One lithe finger slid easily between the open lips of my pussy. The wet, swollen flesh parted as he sunk in deeper and a long, low groan escaped from his body. We were so close, it felt as if the sound had come from me. From my lips. From my mouth. From deep inside my cunt. I felt the ache inside me swell and my legs gave way beneath me.

We’d been standing in front of a Rothko, on the second floor of SFMOMA, but we were talking about Turner. There was something in that soft, orange light that reminded him of a painting back home, at the Tate, one that he’d visited often.
I could tell how much Turner meant to him. I liked this strangely poised man of a boy, with his tight, proper accent, and his smart, unaffected charm. I liked the way flashes of a loose, rangy confidence in him warred for effect with that modesty. And I wanted to like Turner, too. Or at least, I wanted to see Turner through the softness in his grey eyes. So I did what I always do.
“That’s the problem with nineteenth century painters,” I blurted out. “I can’t look at them and not see the prophecy. The train wreck of what’s to come.” He laughed and looked at me with something close to sympathy, but his eyes quickly moved back to the canvas in front of us.
“It’s not all train wreck,” he said. He was so earnest, that I felt like my words had sullied the air between us, ”And anyway, the trains, the storms, the light… there’s something rather tender and hopeful there, don’t you think?” He turned and frowned a little as he glanced across the room at the inky black circles and columns in Motherwell’s Elegy to the Spanish Republic, No. 57. “I’m not saying there’s any merited hope to come,” he added, looking back at me. “I’m just saying…it’s there, nonetheless. Just sort of…resting. Inside the moment.” —-itqh
