Eventually she was so sensitive that any movement had her erupting in an instant orgasm. Her face was buried into the pillow, muffling the screams so that the neighbor did not barge in assuming something was wrong. Her hand, which had been clutching at his side, was now pushing him away, even though her body was struggling to get closer to him.
Finally he pushed deep inside her, only this time he didn’t pull back out. His body was rigid, locked in place while he muffled his own sounds in her hair. He was still holding her tight, only this time they were both working to get their breathing back under control.
She knew she was drifting off to sleep and just wanted to give in to it. Then she was suddenly cold and had to roll over to see that he was no longer in the bed. He was over at the trashcan, disposing of the soiled condom. He had a huge smile and she couldn’t help but smile back.
“You know, I’ve seen you three days and we’ve ended up in bed every time,” he said.
“Isn’t that a turkey?” she asked.
He looked as if he was thinking about it, with the most adorable pucker of his lips. Finally he nodded in agreement.
“Well, where’s the turkey dance?” she said.
He gave her a look as if she really didn’t really know what she was asking for. She just folded her arms over her chest and tapped her fingers. He must have realized she was waiting, because he started movements that did indeed look like the end zone dance she had seen on television.
His hands were tucked into his armpits, with his elbows protruding to the sides. His knees were bent in a walk that could only be described as awkward. He moved in a circle around the room.
It was one of the most embarrassing things she had ever watched. She suddenly understood why he had been reluctant to talk about it. It was downright humiliating, but it was something she could live with…as long as he only did it at bowling alleys. With a laugh, she held out her hand to him. That was all the encouragement he needed to curl back up at her side.
About Sheryl Zaines
Lying out on the beaches of Northern California is Sheryl Zaines’ favorite place to write. The sounds of the waves crashing against the shore give rhythm to her words, while her dog is busy slashing in the surf. She’s only pulled back into the confines of her house when it is completely unavoidable. To her, life is something to be lived every moment of every day and each new adventure is a story to be told. The only obstacle she faces is finding time to write them all down.
