She looked at her reflection like a detective in a cheap paperback, searching for clues, signs, evidence. A slight abrading along her jawline…and it had taken the magnifying mirror to see that. She was safe, for now.
Summer break, calls from an old friend, an old crush, a picnic, a stream. The water had been clear as glass as she stretched out on the old plaid blanket, closing her eyes against the sunlight streaming between the limbs and leaves above their heads.
She’d heard he had a girl in the service, heard what happened. She didn’t bring it up. Neither did he. She wondered if things would’ve gone differently if she’d offered condolences, her sympathy, but that had seemed so inadequate. She’d kept her mouth shut until he opened his, a whisper away from her lips.
He’d been like lava, inexorable, flowing, burning everything in his path, soft bites down her skin, shoving her bra aside, sucking flesh between his teeth. Hoarse husky murmurs, permissions sought and granted, two sets of zippers rasped, sweet wild tastes sparking between their tongues.
“I don’t think I can”-
“Shh.” He ignored her doubts and her ears burned; she could hear how wet she was. Then he touched her differently from how she touched herself. She thought she couldn’t come like this, and then she knew she would, her amazement blazing away at his fingertips, the park disappearing into blackness and starfire.
She came back to herself with his length in her hand, him holding her wrist as he moved. She found her own grip and slid her fist to her rhythm. He buried his face in her neck as he shuddered, moving himself away from her clothes, coming over their clasped hands.
“Next time, bring a condom,” she whispered.
He nodded slowly, mesmerized.
