Lauren Hammond – Last Wednesday in May – Midland Texas
This morning I’m in a sullen mood. It’s almost summertime, and I don’t have a boyfriend. There’s not even a possibility glimmering on the horizon. The thought of showing up at pool parties and other summer social activities by myself is downright depressing. For a twenty-year old, summer is supposed to be a time to have fun. This may be my worst summer ever.
Even the office coffeepot is conspiring against me. Those damn guys! They always take the last cup and leave the coffee pot empty. They just assume one of us girls will make a new batch. If I could, I would just make a single cup and let them figure out what to do next! Instead, I smother my annoyance and put on a fresh brew.
Hanging around while the coffee’s making, I ponder my current dilemma. Between working part time and going to school at the local college, I don’t have a lot of spare time for socializing and meeting people. And quite frankly, I haven’t really met anyone interesting in quite a while. I’ve already gone through all the eligible prospects at my college, but I never really connected with any of them. Maybe I’m too picky, but I know what I want. My grandmother says that I just haven’t found anyone that “tickles my fancy.” I’m not exactly sure what she means by that phrase, but I feel like “my fancy’ could definitely use a good tickling about now!
I hear the coffee machine making its last gurgle, and the sound snaps me out of my reverie. As I move the pot off the burner in order to remove the drip basket, a drop of water hits the hot plate below making a sizzling sound. That’s what I need… a little sizzle in my life. My libido may not be percolating, but there’s something about fresh brewed coffee that ‘perks’ me up. It’s kind of like a signal that a new day has started.
Another more pressing problem I need to address this week is my Ford Falcon’s overheating. It’s been an issue for a couple of weeks now. I’ve decided to call and make an appointment to get it repaired before something major is damaged. The car’s probably okay to drive for the short trips between home and work, but summer’s here, and I might get an opportunity to go on a longer journey during my college break. Now that I’ve got my coffee, it’s time to start the day.

Some part of me realizes the window behind me is glass, and all things glass can break. He knows this too, it’s in the dark glint of his eyes, and he wants me to worry about it. He’s pushing me, testing me, trying to get me to break. Because I slid beneath his composure? Because he really believes I am out of my league? And maybe I am, but not tonight. Tonight, as the song has said, I am broken and for the first time perhaps ever, I am not denying the truth of all of my cracks. I am living them.
I lift my chin and let him see my answering rebellion. His fingers curl at the top of my silk blouse and in a sharp pull, material rips and the buttons all the way down pop and clamor in all directions. I gasp, in unfamiliar territory, and burning alive with the ache I have for this man.
He turns me to the window, and my hands flatten on the glass. Wasting no time, Chris unhooks my bra, and it and my blouse, are off my shoulders in moments. He is behind me again, his thick erection fitted snugly to my backside.
“Hands over your head,” he orders, pressing my palms to the glass above me, his body shadowing mine. “Stay like that.”
My pulse jumps wildly and adrenaline surges. I’ve been ordered around during sex, but in a clinical, bend over and give me what I want kind of way I tried to convince myself was hot. It wasn’t. I hated every second, every instance, and I’d endured it. This is different though, erotic in a way I’ve never experienced, enticingly full of promise. My body is sensitized, pulsing with arousal. I am hot where Chris is touching me and cold where he isn’t.
When he seems satisfied I’ll comply with his orders, Chris slowly caresses a path down my arms, and then up and down my sides, brushing the curves of my breasts. He’s in no hurry, but I am. I am literally quivering by the time his hands cover my breasts, welcoming the way he squeezes them roughly, before tugging on my nipples. I gasp with the pinching sensation he repeats over and over, creating waves of pleasure verging on pain, and the music is fading away, and so is the past. There is pleasure in pain. The words come back to me, and this time they resonate.
His hands are suddenly gone, and I pant in desperation, trying to pull them back.
Chris captures my hands and forces them back to the glass above me, his breath warm by my ear, his hard body framing mine. “Move them again and I’ll stop what I’m doing, no matter how good it might feel.”
I quiver inside at the erotic command, surprised again by how enticed I am by this game we are playing. “Just remember,” I warn, still panting, still burning for his touch. “Payback is Hell.”
His teeth scrape my shoulder. “Looking forward to it, baby,” he rasped. “More than you can possibly know.”
