nothing good happens when its this hot after midnight…
we stepped out of the club into hot night air …and a waiting taxi…with no air conditioning…
i leaned into the heat … breathed it …
hot air in your lungs…at 1 am …summer in dc *sigh*
the hair on the back of my neck was damp…hell … most of me was damp….my makeup was a mess…
i think i told him he was an idiot…or something along those lines…
he just laughed and told the taxi where to pull over…
hes a poor planner…or a great one…. im not sure which…
but he walked me into the house…and shoved me against the wall…he kissed me like he meant it…which is how i like it…
and i have to admit… that if you cant get long necks at an old juke joint / honky tonk in this town… well at least you can roll through dives like the velvet lounge and push over to the 9:30 club for a good view of a bad (in all the right ways) rock n roll show …my weakness for such things is … well documented… and 2.5 vodka tonics and a glass of wine will get you just about as far as 3 vodka tonics…my also well documented… limit before poor slutty life choices get made… …which brings us back to my place…
the air conditioning was turned down low…it was cold even… but there was sweat running down my back…
later…he jumped in the shower…while i …switched on early morning tv
the overdone woman on the weather channel said the heat index was still ridiculously high…
i opened the fridge…i stood there with the door open sipping a pellegrino limonata…
…i kissed him goodbye…
he smelled like soap… when he headed back out in to the heat…
…to meet his wife…
xoxo

I am never surprised when your writing leaves me without breath, the only surprise comes from not knowing the moment it will happen.

I love your blog, love the way you wrote about this encounter. So simple, uncluttered, honest but poetic.

that’s the best way possible to beat the heat.

I hear you like to be tied up and spanked also. So very naughty of you.

I’m with Refugee and Robyn. Beautifully written, as always, and I didn’t see that coming. I’m on the edge of my seat…
PS Love your Yorkie!

Yeah it’s been hot as balls lately… nothing like great, steamy sex and a cold shower afterward. Though, I don’t usually find out the chick is married until after “random dude” has threatened to kill me as I flee the premises.
