They wanted to know:<br /><br /><b><i>I hope your wounds are healing okay an the pain isn't so great anymore. If that's the case, have you/do you fantasises about receiving sex as ‘treatment’ while sick/partially immobilised thus at your carer's mercy and so on?</i></b><br /><br />Yes, actually I'm doing quite well. I get the cast on my wrist off next Tuesday and that will be the last physical evidence of the accident. There is still some neck pain and some back pain but I'm coping with those fairly well with the odd dose of Aleve.<br /><br />To answer the question, of course I fantasize about sex with a naughty nurse. I don't think any guy doesn't have that fantasy. Who wouldn't get off on the idea of a young lady in a skimpy outfit ministering to him? Running her hands down my body, awaking my slumbering cock, stroking it, maybe sliding it between her breasts, maybe licking it like a lollipop, maybe just stroking me steadily till I fountained all over her hand. Or maybe she would get me nice and hard and then decide she needed to take my temperature....with her mouth. Or perhaps she would decide I was already too hot and bothered and needed to be cooled off, by sinking her wet pussy down along my cock till I was buried inside her. Mmmmm.<br /><br />Truthfully, I'm almost back to normal now, physically at least. As soon as I get the cast off, my left hand will be free again. But my right hand works just fine, and I think I'm going to give it a little workout right now. I'm sure you can imagine how. :)<br /><br /><b><i>-- PB</i></b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7689622098160989072-4639277634017736165?l=insatiabear.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Panserbjørnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10643891392421573706noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689622098160989072.post-1028855638128315302011-10-24T08:19:00.000-05:002011-10-24T08:19:13.833-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--3apgilNZ1k/TqVk7R3bXbI/AAAAAAAAASY/dtI1OcHQfOk/s1600/battirebygernot.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--3apgilNZ1k/TqVk7R3bXbI/AAAAAAAAASY/dtI1OcHQfOk/s400/battirebygernot.JPG" width="255" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Source image: "Battire" by <a href="http://www.bizarre-gallery.com/">Gernot</a>)</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Happy Halloween!

Jane licked her lips.<br /><br />“What would it hurt?” she mused.<br /><br />“Might even be fun,” he said.<br /><br />“Okay, let's try!” And with that, she began tearing enthusiastically at his clothes. He growled and yanked her sweater open. Buttons flew everywhere and her breasts spilled into his hands. He dove in, sucking and licking as if his life depended on it. She pulled his slacks and boxers down, his cock flopping free and then rapidly swelling as she gave it a tongue bath. His hands were all over her, twining in her hair, grabbing her ass, slipping between her legs to find her, surprisingly, just as ready as he.<br /><br />She jumped into his lap, lifting and sinking down with a groan. He gasped too as she started bucking, riding him wildly.<br /><br />The lobby door opened, the receptionist glancing down at her clipboard. “Mr. and Mrs.....Johanssen, was it?

I looked at this picture and immediately thought "doctor's office!" And my imagination was off and running. At first I thought Paul and Jane were just bored and killing some time while they waited (you know how it is when you're waiting at the doctor's, the wait is interminable). Then, I'm not sure why, I took a closer look at the woman sitting next to them. She didn't look bored to me, but a bit smug. With that, my take on the picture solidified. This wasn't just any doctor's office, but a sex therapist's, where Paul and Jane were supposed to be meeting with the doctor to discuss their problems. But the woman sitting next to them had struck up a conversation with them, and given them a bit of good advice (more likely just a bit of common sense), and pretty soon they discovered they don't have any problems after all.</i><br /><br /><i>It's purely coincidental that they chose to try it out right then and there, of course.

The next line, of course, is ".......but the patient died."&nbsp; For those who actually know the joke, I thought it would add a bit of urgency to the story even before you read it. The use of "Dr. Ruth" was just so it was clear they were visiting a sex therapist.

Their vantage point accorded them a 360-degree view of the teeming streets.<br /><br />“How does it work?” she wanted to know.<br /><br />“I haven't the slightest idea, really. The neuroanatomists and chemists and physiologists who developed it could explain it, but every time they tried, my eyes glazed over.”<br /><br />“Not interested in the technical side of things, eh?”<br /><br />“Guilty as charged. All I care about is, does it work?”<br /><br />“I guess we'll know soon enough, won't we? The transmitter was hooked up last night.”<br /><br />“Where is it?”<br /><br />“Ground floor level, disguised as a streetlamp.”<br /><br />Her hand reached out, closed around the switch on the pedestal nearby. She hesitated.<br /><br />“Is this right?”<br /><br />His hand closed over hers, squeezing it gently. “Our culture is too repressed. There's too much emotional hurt and baggage attached. Sex should be fun between two people – or more than two. All we're doing is giving them a little help.”<br /><br />“We'll see,” she murmured, almost inaudibly. And threw the switch.<br /><br />In the streets below, a low murmur, a sigh of need, a ripple that passed over dozens of people. Skins flushed, hearts raced, mouths watered. Eyes met, and lingered. Chance contacts in the crowds unaccountably lingered. And lingered. And swiftly became caresses.<br /><br />And the first of the impromptu couples dropped to the ground, tearing frenziedly at their clothes, clasping each other in passionate embrace, drawing each other down and into mergence. The murmur of need rose from a thousand throats, and everywhere, everywhere the lust storm rippled outward. Men embraced women. Women twined around others. Men coupled with other men. Women pounced on men who were already coupled with others. Threesomes, foursomes, couples. Everywhere you looked, love was being made. All surrendered to their animal instincts, lost in their pleasures, and enjoyed it as never before.<br /><br />They barely noticed the bacchanal far below. In their cold, sterile boardroom, they were doing a little celebrating of their own.<b><i><br /></i></b><br /><b><i><br /></i></b><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJs1KYG7ZAM/S5FwbwZJgVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/R9fQA9kAu48/s320/fff2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html"><i>(Click for details on FFF!)</i></a></div><br /><i>Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of <b>130-354 words</b>.

I regret the necessity. Here's the reason.<br /><br /><br />On the afternoon of August 28th, after a very pleasant solo lunch out with friends, I was hit by a drunk driver who ran a red light and plowed into the left rear quarter-panel of my car at an estimated eighty miles per hour.<br /><br />The casualties: a totaled car, multiple cracked ribs, a fractured wrist, sprained back, wrenched knee, some damage to cervical vertebrae, minor bumps and abrasions and one truly astounding bruise on my chest from the seatbelt, and most importantly, a severe concussion bad enough to keep me in a sleep so deep it was near a coma for about two weeks. But, astoundingly, nothing permanent, maiming or disfiguring, or lasting, and nothing that's going to leave any scars. The doctors and nurses who've been taking very good care of me say I must have an angel watching over me. I didn't see any reason to argue that I'm an atheist, because I figured they might actually have a point.<br /><br />The police say it could have been much worse but he only struck me a glancing blow. The problem is that at eighty MPH, even a glancing blow is pretty damn bad. I have no memory of the wreck, but witnesses say that I <i>almost</i> managed to get out of his way (thank you, reflexes) or he would have plowed straight into my side, and then things could have ended much worse for me. As it was, my car spun around almost 720 degrees and rolled.<br /><br />I was out, out, like a candle, for another two weeks. I'm told I drifted in and out but was never "up" for more than five minutes at a time. When I swam back to consciousness for good, it was the tenth anniversary of 9/11. Not a very happy day to awaken, but paradoxically so for me. When the green ripper has had his swing at you and missed, any day is a happy day. I spent several more days in the hospital for observation and came home on the afternoon of the 15th.<br /><br />Fortunately for me, there will be no legal wranglings from this because the other driver died at the scene after going through the windshield (not only was he so drunk he had a near-fatal BAC of .42, but he also was stupid enough not to wear a seatbelt). He was also insured (thank you, fates) so his insurance company, rather than my own, is paying for my two-week hospital stay and is giving me a fairly generous settlement for my beloved car (and my smashed cellphone, which happened to be on the seat alongside me and thus wound up rather the worse for its traumatic battering). They will also be paying for my doctor visits for my neck injuries, which will require some therapy for an undetermined time.<br /><br />So I got back online yesterday and found a blizzard of messages in my inbox wondering where I was and whether I was okay. So, yes: I'm okay now, or will be soon. My neck hurts, my ribs hurt, my knee hurts, my wrist hurts (they say I should get the cast off in another couple weeks -- at least it's not my dominant hand), and I still get killer headaches about once a day -- but I'm alive, and hanging in there, and getting better every day. My partner has been taking very good care of me and doting on me hand and foot. I'm lucky to have her, and luckier still that she wasn't in the car with me to be victimized as well.<br /><br />So, now you know (as Paul Harvey would say) The Rest of the Story. There will be a new FFF challenge next Monday, but until then, be of good cheer, love each other, and don't fucking drink and drive.<br /><br /><b><i>-- PB</i></b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7689622098160989072-327887527760129099?l=insatiabear.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Panserbjørnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10643891392421573706noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689622098160989072.post-19830696384592043572011-08-26T00:01:00.005-05:002011-08-26T00:01:00.655-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7DNewEI-Z6w/TlJZAdNYh8I/AAAAAAAAAR4/GGGwhZ4_4e0/s1600/snap.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7DNewEI-Z6w/TlJZAdNYh8I/AAAAAAAAAR4/GGGwhZ4_4e0/s400/snap.jpg" width="336" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Photo this week provided by <a href="http://red-tangerine.blogspot.com/">Red</a>; originally from <a href="http://carmenicadiaz.net/">http://carmenicadiaz.net</a>)</i></div><br />“Oh god.

Cheater!</i></span><br /><span style="color: #333399;"><i> Him: It’s not cheating if we don’t have intercourse.</i></span></div><br /><i><span style="color: green;">1. You have been separated from your significant other for six months. An attractive, attentive neighbor has paid you flattering attention. It is obvious he/she wishes to take the relationship further. Do you:</span><br />a. Dismiss him/her, you’re in a committed relationship.<br />b. Continue to flirt, but go no further.<br />c. Fantasize about him/her, but take care of your sexual needs solo.<br />d. Let the affair become physical.</i><br /><br />Most likely a combination of <b>A </b>and <b>C </b>if I find them that attractive, but unless I had discussed it with my significant other ahead of time, I'd make no overt moves to let it become physical. Simply being separated from your partner for a time, unless you have an open relationship, isn't sufficient reason to sleep with someone else. More on this in a bit.<br /><br /><i><span style="color: green;">2. A <b>male co-worker</b> whom you have heard is great in bed and very well endowed has been flirting with you a lot. He obviously wishes to start a relationship. Do you:<br /><i>(This question is for women AND men).</i></span><br />a. Make it clear to him you’re not interested.<br />b. Flirt with him but go no further<br />c. Mentally undress him and wonder what he’d be like in bed.<br />d. Let the relationship become sexual.</i><br /><br />This one's easier. <b>A</b>, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I don't date (or sleep with) coworkers, ever. There are just too many opportunities for things to go horribly wrong if the relationship disintegrates. Secondly, although I'm plenty bicurious nowadays, I'm still a virgin as far as guys are concerned, and I think I'd rather have my first experience with a guy be as part of a threesome with a girl. Thirdly, see above re: committed relationship with my significant other (again, more on this in a bit). <br /><br /><i><span style="color: green;">3. Your significant other is impotent most of the time, showing little interest in you and little interest in being sexual. Do you:</span><br />a. Resign yourself to no sex.<br />b. Satisfy your needs with masturbation<br />c. Find someone who can satisfy you sexually but remain with your significant other<br />d. Leave him or her</i><br /><br />Okay, now we're starting to hit close to home, because this has more or less been my own situation for the past year and a half. I started this journal in 2009 because I was upset with our lack of a sex life and her apparent disinterest in doing anything about it. Our sex life has dwindled to practically nothing, I'm always the initiator when we DO have sex, there's absolutely no variety, and in general I'm feeling unwanted and undesirable. I've talked to her but the discussions have always been unsatisfying and one-sided. I would have cut loose long ago if it weren't for the fact that many other things in the relationship weren't <br /><br />So, basically, I HAVE had to resign myself to no sex, or to satisfying myself with masturbation and/or erotic stories and/or porn. Also, as open as I might be to the idea of an open relationship where both of us are free to sleep with whomever we choose, I know for a fact that SHE is not and would never be open to such an idea, so option C is out. The only remaining option is D, and it's looking more and more these days as if that will be the final choice if she continues to refuse to work on the problem. <br /><br /><i><span style="color: green;">4. The last time you and your mate had sex, were you:</span><br />a. Concentrating mostly on him/her, and you didn’t even orgasm<br />b. Thinking about your pleasure and theirs.<br />c. Concentrating mainly on your own pleasure.<br />d. Used his/her body as a tool to reach your own orgasm.</i><br /><br />Concentrating on her. I was giving her oral (three orgasms' worth, in fact). When I finished, she didn't offer to reciprocate, so I didn't get any of my own pleasure (except the pleasure I always get from pleasing her). Unfortunately this has become an all too common scenario lately.<br /><br /><i><span style="color: green;">5. What kind of partner do you prefer while making love or having sex?</span><br />a. Tender, loving, slow and sweeet<br />b. I don’t care, just do me; it’s been a while<br />c. Tough, take-charge, I like it a little rough<br />d. Any lovin’ is good lovin’</i><br /><br />D is definitely the answer here. I like all kinds of variety in sex. Slow and steady and sweet. Hard and rough. Animalistic and ripping clothes. Quickies sandwiched in between other things. Morning sex. Shower sex. Marathon sex. Role playing. Anything and everything goes, as far as I'm concerned. As long as both partners are enthusiastic, it doesn't matter what kind of sex it is; it's going to be fun.<i> </i><br /><br /><i><span style="color: red;"><b>Bonus</b></span>: Do you mind if your significant other ogles/checks out another sexy person? What if they comment on that person, do you mind that?</i><br /><br />Not in the least. This used to upset me, but over the years I've grown more secure with myself. I know there are plenty of other attractive guys out there besides me, but I'm the one she's going home with at the end of the day. Why should I be upset?<br /><br />Besides, as I mentioned, I really wouldn't mind if she went so far as to actually sleep with the guy. As long as she talked about it with me in advance, and played safely and responsibly, as far as I'm concerned, she's welcome to do as she pleases.&nbsp; I don't own her.<i><span style="color: red;"><b>&nbsp;</b></span></i><br /><br /><i><span style="color: red;"><b>Bonus, Bonus:</b></span> What are your thoughts on the TMI Tuesday <a href="http://tmituesdayblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/flirting-jealously.jpg?w=270&amp;h=270">image</a> above and the caption beneath it?</i><br /><br />I'm in full agreement with the guy. It isn't cheating if there's no sex involved. Flirting is harmless. Looking is harmless. Besides, if I don't care if you look, why should you care if I look? As the great troubadour Jimmy Buffett notes in his song "Bank of Bad Habits":<br /><br /><i>A picture's worth a thousand words, just ask a cameraman</i><br /><i>And it's no sin to stop and look, I do it when I can</i><br /><i>But you have to purge that urge to merge, you have to keep your head</i><br /><i>Or trouble is what you will find inside some stranger's bed</i><br /><br /><br />The bottom line is: whether I'm up for an "open" relationship or not, my partner isn't. So I can look, and I can flirt, and I can write sexy fantasies or stories, but when all's said and done, I'm still loyal to her, even if we are having problems.<br /><br />—————————<br /><i><span style="color: red;"><b>How to play TMI Tuesday:</b></span> Copy the above <a href="http://tmituesdayblog.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/">TMI Tuesday</a> questions to your webspace (i.e., a blog).

The first one: an auto-notification from Twitter asking me to confirm my newly created Twitter account.<br /><br />That's a good one. I have less than no interest in Twitter. I don't need to let people know about the sandwich I'm eating, or <a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/4/23/">my latest bathroom visit, as Penny Arcade ably lampooned</a>. I figured some idiot had mistakenly entered my email address when creating their own Twitter account (although, really, how the hell do you think your own email address is "insatiabear" at gmail? That's pretty damned distinctive and you'd figure it would prevent people from getting it confused with their actual email address).<br /><br />So I clicked the "not my account" link and Twitter helpfully removed me from any notifications about that account. I figured that was the end of it.<br /><br />Until I got another notification a few hours later, this one being one of the "Join me on Twitter!" exhortations that get sent to somebody when an actual&nbsp; Twitter user "invites" another person to join them. I got ready to throw that one in the trash as well......<br /><br />.....and paused. Because the name of the user who'd sent the invite to me was "Mrs. Insatia Bear".<br /><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/mrsinsatiabear">No, seriously. Here's a link to their profile.</a> <br /><br />Oooooooooookay. I am PRETTY sure I'd remember if I were married. I don't know whether to call this a case of creepy stalkerism or just chalk it up to a case of mistaken identity or confusion over a "common" username (although I had never figured "Insatiabear" would be all that common when I created the Blogger identity and Gmail account some two years ago).<br /><br />Weird. For now, I guess I'll just ignore the invite, and hope no one shows up on my doorstep wanting to meet me.<br /><br />So. What's the weirdest thing that's happened to YOU as a result of your sex writings?<br /><br /><b><i>-- PB</i></b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7689622098160989072-8917033637918990362?l=insatiabear.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Panserbjørnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10643891392421573706noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689622098160989072.post-75037863289951452011-08-07T08:00:00.012-05:002011-08-07T08:00:09.614-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-76ItrBFT_pc/ThsSViTJi2I/AAAAAAAAARw/K9axWQ_C7lg/s1600/thrustbysetharonson.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-76ItrBFT_pc/ThsSViTJi2I/AAAAAAAAARw/K9axWQ_C7lg/s400/thrustbysetharonson.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Source image: "Thrust" by <a href="http://www.mindswell.org/">Seth Aronson</a>)</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Your challenge for this Friday, 8-12-11, is to use the artwork above to write a flash fiction of <b>50-90 words</b>.

I just haven't had the spare time in the past couple months. However, I'm trying to get back in the habit. In fact I posted a new tale on Saturday night, called "<a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2011/07/first-class-train-travel.html">First Class Train Travel</a>". And then forgot that my automated FFF challenge for this week would post twenty minutes later, effectively wiping out the story in most folks' feeds.<br /><br />So, if you'd like to read something new from me, please, by all means, check out <a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2011/07/first-class-train-travel.html">First Class Train Travel</a>.

Mists swirl about briefly but clear when&nbsp; I shake my head. I look around. You and I are sitting on a couch in a spacious, tasteful compartment in a train car. I brilliantly deduce this from the rocking and swaying we feel and the rackety-clack as the train makes its way along. You're sitting next to me, wearing a opaque pearl gray dress that hints at, promises, much more than it actually shows. Your smile is quick and mischievous, your eyes dancing with suppressed glee. What are you thinking?<br /><br />The woman sitting across from us says something and I miss it, my head buzzing again. You're quicker on the uptake, though, and soon you're both in an animated discussion. The guy who's with her looks at me and we share a brief glance of amusement. The other fellow, sitting in the corner, has barely looked up from his iPad since entering the compartment a while back. Not much of a traveling companion, but then again, sometimes silence is nice.<br /><br />The mists swirl about a bit more and the light outside unaccountably changes -- one moment high noon, the next giving way to the gloaming of approaching twilight. I reach for your hand, looking for substance, wanting to hold onto something, but discover that you're not sitting next to me anymore. Confused, I look at the woman across from us. She seems to read my mind and says that you'd gone to the restroom while I was out. "Out?" I ask, wanting clarification, but she simply nods.<br /><br />I lean back and stretch out my legs. There's another hitch and suddenly you're next to me again, leaning up against me in a very pleasant way. Your face is full of high color, your eyes are intense, your lips parted. What were you doing in that bathroom, hmm?<br /><br />You lean close and very shortly I find out, as you begin nibbling on my ear. "I think I may have made a mistake," you murmur to me, your lips exploring, caressing. Tiny electrical shocks run up and down my body; you know my ears are a weak point and always exploit it mercilessly. "You know one time is never enough for me. All it does is whet my appetite for more."<br /><br />You're whetting my appetite, too, your hot breath on my neck, now licking lightly at my earlobe, nipping at the side of my neck, planting hot kisses along the curve of my collarbone. I feel your fingers trailing down my side, nails lightly grazing my ribs, my belly, making light scritching sounds as they reach the rougher fabric of my jeans. You rub lightly against the outline in my crotch. Heat at your fingertips. Heat against your wrist as you run it down between my legs. Heat in the palm of your hand as you take a firm grasp and squeeze, gently. I sigh softly.<br /><br />Over your head and shoulders I can see the couple across from us. They are watching intently, not saying a word. Their faces are blank masks, revealing nothing, but their eyes are avid. She leans over and whispers something quietly and he nods, without taking his eyes off you as your explorations become more insistent. Her mouth parts and her tongue steals out to slide around her ruby red lips, just once, the only outward sign of anything at all. I glance sideways and see the guy in the corner shift a bit, aiming the camera eye of his gadget our way. His fingers tap, tap, delicately at its surface. Posting to Facebook? Stealing a shot of us and captioning it with "Compartmentalized Lust"? Filming a bit of video for a private reenactment later? Who knows.<br /><br />Your hand is now rubbing eagerly against the spike in my jeans. I moan a low moan of need and you murmur something against my throat, an endearment, an exhortation, I can't tell. Your tongue darts out and outlines my Adam's apple; I shiver. I slide my free hand down your back, caressing. Starting my own exploration. You press closer against me and I feel the soft weight of your breasts on my arm. Maddening, fanning the flames. I wind my hand into your hair idly, liking its texture, then tighten a bit and use it to lift your head. You gasp slightly but then understanding replaces annoyance, when I lean forward and kiss you, hard.<br /><br />I love the taste of your mouth. Your tongue is always ready for a duel, and it slides against mine, heat and wetness, making me want more, as always. I slip my free hand lower down your back, squeezing your ass on the way, then slide it around front and gently nudge your legs further apart. You murmur "mmm" into my mouth and help spread them. Meanwhile, your own hands are still rubbing and stroking me, now sliding along my thighs, now brushing against the throb in my jeans, now toying with the buttons on my shirt. I feel you pull a few of them loose, then slip a finger or two inside and trace random designs on my skin. Goose bumps seethe in your nail's wake.<br /><br />Soft murmurs from the couple across from us, now. I steal a glance, but their expressions are still enigmatic, unruffled, their eyes pools of night. I get the strange feeling that they're grading our performance in their heads and will assign us a score whenever....<b><i>this</i></b>.....reaches its by now inescapable conclusion. She shifts in her seat, crossing her legs; he rolls his head slightly, as if to loosen tension, and then relapses into immobility.<br /><br />I turn my head, now, and look more openly at the man in the corner. He gazes back tranquilly, not bothered in the least. A slight grin tugs at the corners of his mouth and he adjusts the gadget on his knees a bit, the fabric of his slacks rustling. That sound seems to snap you out of your trance and for the first time you seem to realize our audience; you follow my glance over to him and he nods, as if to say "Don't let me stop you, please." Swiftly, you look over at the couple, but they are no less inscrutable to you than they were to me. Wait -- there, a motion of his hand, a definite "don't mind us; continue" flick of the wrist.<br /><br />Well, now. I squirm around a bit, freeing my other arm, and slide both hands down your back, hiking your dress up and over your hips, revealing that marvelous ass. I cup its roundness, take double handfuls of firm, warm flesh, glad (not for the first time) that you go bare beneath your skirts, dresses, slacks, whatever. Your scent rises, and my head spins again. The room darkens and everything slips sideways for a second or two; when I raise my head you're in my lap, you've pulled my shirt back and down over my shoulders to pinion my arms at my sides. You wriggle against me, rubbing your chest against mine. I can feel your nipples through the silken fabric, and I want to reach up, to caress; your hands curl around my wrists and hold them gently in place.<br /><br />You pull back and then reach down between us. Now both hands are working busily at the snap on my jeans. In a trice the zipper is down. I raise up and you pull jeans and boxer briefs down; then your fingers are dancing around my hard cock, freed from its entanglement and now pointing angrily at the ceiling. Your touch is firm and cool, slippery and silken smooth along heated rigidity. I moan your name and you chuckle, low and soft, glancing over your shoulder at the still pair opposite you. Staring over your other shoulder at them, I see the color rising in their faces; they may be good at hiding emotion, but the more normal responses are hard at work, it seems.<br /><br />You're hard at work too, pointing, adjusting, caressing. You hike the dress up further in the front and slide two fingers into yourself. I manage to worm shoulders and arms free of the shirt, and then I can wrap them around you, run fingernails down your back, dig furrows into you, marking you. I shudder all over as you pull your fingers out and then use them to rub your wetness all over my cock. Slick and shining, coated with your excitement, it throbs like a piston, like something barely in check.<br /><br />My eyes close of their own volition as you lift and then settle firmly on me, something so familiar, the pulse of heat old as time, that feels new and incredible every single time we enact this little scene. The aroma is more piquant, the bouquet made more spicy this time by our watchers, who still have made little sign of their presence other than faint murmurings or rustlings as they shift in their seats. I open my eyes and stare straight at the woman behind you, who nods in approval as you begin the age-old rhythm, hips pumping slowly, so slowly.<br /><br />Heat. Delicious, delicious heat, radiating outward from my groin. My heart pounds. My lips close on a nipple and you gasp my name. Deliberately, I close my teeth and this time you hiss sharply...but your hips' slow pumping actually speeds up. I slide one hand down to your ass and clench it there, grab a handful, an anchor to help hold you down, keep you from sliding off the earth, balanced precariously on the precipice of pleasure.<br /><br />Mists swirl through my brain again. Grunting angrily, I shake my head to clear them; when things resolidify, you're no longer in my lap. Instead, I've rolled on top of you, pressing you down with all my weight. Your legs have come up and are over my shoulders, ankles hooked round my neck. Steady pressure there urges me onward. Now it's my hips that move with slow deliberation; I pull back, slide forward, pull back, slide forward, an aching grinding rhythm that's making us both moan and whimper.<br /><br />I shift a bit in response to pressure from your arm on one side, realizing that you're moving my shoulder out of the field of view of the camera in the corner, knowing that it must be fixed on your pleasure-dazed face, the hair straggling over your eyes, sweat beading on your forehead, mouth slack and open, wet with lust. I'm transfixed by it myself. You've given yourself over to it, let the sensations take control.<br /><br />Control. We've never been out of control like this, coupling shamelessly, rutting like a pair of animals in full view of three total strangers. I can feel their gazes traveling over our bodies, fixing on my cock as it emerges briefly from your tight cunt before sliding home again, watching with slow approval the swaying of your breasts with each thrust, trailing down my back as you score red welts on it with your fingernails. I feel you clutching at me, your excitement shifting into a higher gear, your pussy opening still further, inviting me to use it, take it ruthlessly and roughly.<br /><br />It's not just your pussy that's urging me, either. Your voice reaches me through the fog that's closing in again. I hear the words that never fail to wring me out and drive me wild with lust, those filthy phrases you love to tease and taunt me with: "Oh yeah. Give me that big cock, baby. Pound my hot pussy. Mmmmmyeahhh, ohh yeahh. Fuck me so good." You don't stop as I wrap both arms around you and pull you upward, lift you off the couch till we're in a bridge position. I mold your body to mine, thrusting harder, feeling your wetness splash and drool down your thighs and mine. I gasp with each new thrust. The pleasure builds and builds and builds.<br /><br />One more thought flashes, dimly, in my head: <i>let's give them all a real show for the finish</i>. With that, I pull back and out of you. Your eyelids fly up like windowshades and you moan a slow "Noooooo" but it's cut off; I wrestle us around until you're on my lap once more, this time sitting on me as if I were a chair, both of us staring, defiantly, in turn, at our watchers. They smile and nod encouragingly, drinking in the sight, licking their lips now: at last, clearly and obviously enjoying what they see. And they should -- your pussy clenching around me as I thrust upward and into you, my hands squeezing your breasts, your fingers alternately stroking your clit and the length of my shaft as it emerges briefly at the end of each stroke. Your head rolls back on your shoulders and a low "aaaaaaaaaaaaa" of pure sensation emerges; through the haze, I register that you're coming, one of those full-body orgasms that leave you as limp as a wet dishrag. Your body gets heavier in my arms before your head snaps up again and you start bouncing up and down on me, forcing yourself down to meet each upward thrust, growling deep in your throat, a repeated refrain: "<i>Come </i>on. <i>Come </i>on. <i>Come </i>on. Oh, <i>come </i>on."<br /><br />I feel stretched to the breaking point. Ribbons of light spin and twirl through my head. My cock twitches, my balls tingle, and almost before I can even gasp out your name, I'm coming myself, spurt after spurt, mauling your breasts hard enough to leave bruises, grunting a low "uh, uh, uh, uh" sound in time with your own exhortations. Your hips slam down on me in hard approval, your body pressing against me in unutterable zeal. I thrust and thrust up into you, the mists rising again, wanting only to prolong this agony, this ecstasy, this far too temporary union. The fog drifts higher and soon it covers us completely.<br /><br />I open my eyes and sit up. Alone, in my hotel bedroom. Tangled sheets, damp with perspiration, wet and messy with sticky precum. My cock throbs angrily, annoyed at having been denied its release. I sigh, sinking back on the pillows, heart still beating hard. I close my eyes and say your name, emptily.<br /><br />I swear I can still see their admiring gazes, can still smell you, hear that low moan of delight as you came and came hard.<br /><br />A dream? Or a memory?<br /><br /><b><i>-- PB</i></b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7689622098160989072-6020964637239043687?l=insatiabear.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Panserbjørnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10643891392421573706noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689622098160989072.post-65381979657835948452011-07-29T08:21:00.000-05:002011-07-29T08:21:43.313-05:00Someone recently asked me via Formspring if guest commenting was going to be turned off forever.

And so, because I have some spare time today, and have actual computer access rather than smartphone-only access on a tiny screen, here's a new post. We'll start with something simple: TMI Tuesday. Don't worry, there will be more naughty fantasies and stories to come. <br /><br />At The Movies<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://tmituesdayblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/at-the-movies-art-dot-com.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-222" height="319" src="http://tmituesdayblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/at-the-movies-art-dot-com.jpg?w=320&amp;h=319" title="at the movies art.com" width="320" /></a></div><b>1. Why do you go to the movies?</b><br /><b>a. To feel</b><br /><b>b. To think</b><br /><b>c. To escape</b><br /><b>d. To enjoy the air conditioning</b><br /><br />A, B, and C. Also, to enjoy the immense screen size and the enveloping atmosphere. Also to enjoy the group aspect of the film ("Snakes on a Plane" wouldn't have been interesting at all without the rowdy midnight crowd who'd come out to howl with laughter, and it's just no fun seeing the end of an era like "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" without seeing it with a huge crowd of SW fanatics....and so on).<br /><br />Besides, my home theater is already a damn good approximation of your local cineplex. (I've sunk almost $10,000 into building an awesome system; HT fanatics, email me or leave a comment here if you're curious about my system specs). Most of my watching is done at home, but there are times when you want to see it on the big screen, as I said.<br /><br /><b>2. In the last six months, have you viewed more movies at home or at the movie theatre?</b><br /><br />At home, definitely. See above remark re: my own home theater.<br /><br /><b>3. What was the last movie you watched at home? At the theatre?</b><br /><br />Last one at home was the new Blu-Ray release of "Das Boot" (which looks and sounds out-freakin'-standing in high def). Last one at the theater was the latest "Pirates of the Caribbean" release, "POTC: On Stranger Tides". Ian McShane as Blackbeard alone makes that movie worth seeing. I do rather wish they would end the series before it starts going downhill, though. I've enjoyed all four so far, and that's rare.<br /><br /><b>4. Which do you enjoy most in a movie?</b><br /><b>a. Two beings battling to death such as Godzilla and Mothra (or any foe), Gladiator</b><br /><b>b. Car chase scene such as Ronin, Fast &amp; the Furious</b><br /><b>c. Major heist such as Italian Job, Ocean’s Eleven, Snatch</b><br /><b>d. Epic battle scene such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings: Two Towers</b><br /><br />I like all of these, but they have to be done <i>well</i> (as in the examples listed). What I enjoy MOST in a movie, though, is not good sound (although that's important), or good music (although that's nearly essential), or good cinematography (nearly the most important), or even a good plot/story (second most important). The thing that can save a movie that doesn't have any of the others is really, really good acting -- characters that you really care about, brought to life by someone who is genuinely good at what they do. Conversely, all the explosions or heists or car chases or battle scenes can't save a film with horrid acting all the way through -- although they can still make it entertaining, it can't be a great movie without good performances.<br /><br />I'll give an example. Jim Jarmusch's cult film "Night on&nbsp; Earth" has a low budget, quirky music, a dingy, dirty feel to the cinematography, and a weird premise: a night spent with five taxi drivers from five cities across the world. There's no real action to speak of, no explosions, no big-budget CGI. But the acting is so damn good from the participants involved that it's become one of my favorite films. From the few big names in the first couple segments, to the foreign actors who are not well know, every one of them makes you care about their stories and their lives. Great stuff.<b>&nbsp;</b><br /><br /><b>5. In your opinion, which movie(s) have the best or most enjoyable sex scenes?</b><br /><b> </b><br />I'm presuming that, rather than use porn films as the examples, we should be discussing more commercially viable films. My picks, then, in no particular order, except the first one, which is still my favorite:<br /><br />1. "The Thomas Crown Affair" (the remake, with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo): The chemistry between the two is amazing and the sex scene with them is screen-melting hot. My only wish is that it were longer. I have never been able to watch this with a partner without jumping her partway through that scene.<br />2. "Basic Instinct". The tension and danger and pulse-pounding uncertainty of many of the scenes in this one is what makes them hot. The scene with Douglas and Tripplehorn (tearing her clothes, fucking her bent over the sofa) is one of the hottest I've ever seen.<br />3. "Desert Hearts", a lesbian drama, has a lovely, tender and very emotional scene between the two female leads.<br />4. "Watchmen" has a short, but very enjoyable scene between Dan Dreiberg (Nite Owl) and Laurie Juspeczyk (Silk Spectre). Also has Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" for a great soundtrack.<br />5. The Rebecca De Mornay pic "And God Created Woman" has some amazingly hot scenes.<br />6. Linda Fiorentino is nuclear hot in "The Last Seduction" as a femme fatale who does things like fuck her victims in an alleyway.<br />7. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are damned hot in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", fucking each other amidst the wreckage of their house after they've been trying to kill each other. <br /><br /><b>6. Which of these is your favorite Hollywood movie plot?</b><br />a. Boy meets girl<br />b. The Jesus Story (apocalyptic; someone is saving the world)<br />c. Fish out of Water<br />d. Buddy movie<br /><br />None of these, really. If we're talking pure Hollywood films, my favorite plot is "Stuff blows up real good", which could fit lots of different movies, e.g., "Top Gun", "Independence Day", "2012", "Transformers", "Terminator 2", and lots more.<br /><br /><b>7. What is your favorite movie genre?</b> (Thriller, comedy, action/adventure, drama, mystery, fright, etc.)<br /><br />My favorite genre is probably action/adventure, with science fiction/fantasy close behind that.<br /><br /><b>8. In movies, what makes you cry?</b><br />a. mistreatment of a prime, likeable character<br />b. gushy, mushy romance (e.g., marriage proposals, couple finally proclaim their love)<br />c. very scary jump-out-at-you, make-you-pee-your-pants scenes<br />d. anyone or anything dying<br /><br />Emotionally charged moments in general get me choked up. Theoden's speech to the Rohirrim before they charge at the Battle of Pelennor Fields, in "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". Amelie Poulain's emotional breakdown near the end of&nbsp; "Amelie". The "Order 66" slaughter of Jedi in "Revenge of the Sith". The "Our Town" flashback sequence in "Cars", or the fire-pit sequence of "Toy Story 3". Scrooge's change of heart at the end of "A Christmas Carol". The "Once upon a dream" sequence of "Sleeping Beauty". Damn near half the film "The Princess Bride". And so on.<br /><br /><span style="color: red;">Bonus</span>: <b>What is your favorite movie? Why?</b><br /><br />I could never pick a single favorite. Several of the ones&nbsp; I've already listed, plus many more. "Gladiator", "Tron: Legacy", "Pitch Black" and its sequel "The Chronicles of Riddick", the Lord of the Rings films, the Star Wars movies. "Pulp Fiction". "Sin City". "Casino Royale" and "Goldfinger" in the James Bond series. "Shoot 'Em Up" and "Sexy Beast" and "Grosse Pointe Blank" for cult films. Most of Pixar's catalogue. Most of Disney's animated catalogue. "Saving Private Ryan". The "Matrix" trilogy. "Gattaca". "Dark City". The "Bourne" trilogy. I'll stop before this gets too long.<br /><br />————<br /><span style="color: red;"><b>How to play TMI Tuesday:</b></span> Copy the above <a href="http://tmituesdayblog.wordpress.com/">TMI Tuesday</a> questions to your webspace (i.e., a blog).

I imagined her as a time-traveler who'd jumped into the wrong place and time entirely. How would you react at finding yourself nude in an art gallery god only knows where or when?&nbsp; If you're her, well, you freeze in terror and hope you can find somebody who might be sympathetic before you get arrested or otherwise apprehended. The idea to make her telepathic was partly to give her story more credence and partly to save time with introductions.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>I kind of wish now I'd made the word length less stringent.

Her husband had run up some truly awe-inspiring debts to me, and rather than send my goons around to lump him up a few times, I'd decided that the use of his wife for a few weeks would pay the tab nicely. I understood he was still recovering from the beating she'd given him when she found out.<br /><br />"Turn around," I directed, and she did. I pulled my belt free and in a twinkling had it looped round her wrists. Leather creaked under stress, and she hissed in pain as I drew it tighter. I ran my hand down that silky smooth back to the curve of her ass and squeezed, pleased with my acquisition.<br /><br />"Face me," I said, and she did, her eyes flicking down to my crotch in boredom....and widening in surprise. Then she licked her lips and pursed them for a soundless whistle.<br /><br />Perhaps this month wouldn't be so tedious after all.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJs1KYG7ZAM/S5FwbwZJgVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/R9fQA9kAu48/s320/fff2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html"><i>(Click for details on FFF!)</i></a></div><br /><i>Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of <b>60-160 words</b>.

I had thought I would perhaps tell a story about a domineering woman playing reverse-power games with her underling, dressing him in finery as if he were her boss and having him dominate her or be fired. It seemed a bit too much like sexual harassment to me, though (pleasant as the scenario might seem to me, sex with your employees is pretty much a recipe for trouble), so I cast about for a different approach. It occurred to me that the guy looked like a gangster of some kind -- something about the haircut, the grooming, the completely at-ease posture -- and suddenly there it was, a story about an urbane crime lord making use of his power and enjoying it to the utmost. I liked the idea that she went along with the idea not because she particularly loved her husband, but because she was bored and horny enough to find the prospect appealing. Hope you enjoyed it as much as she plans to.</i><br /><br /><i>Please note that I am no longer collecting the participants list.

The musk of our exertions hung heavy in the air. She lay adrift and asprawl, tangled under and over me, her head pillowed on my chest. I felt the heat, the moisture of her tears, the rhythm of her shaking shoulders as she wept.<br /><br />"It isn't fair," she sobbed.<br /><br />There wasn't enough air in the room, no words that would come, no answer to the unanswerable. The lump of ice in my throat was absolute. Instead, I tightened my arms around her, and she raised her head. Her lip trembled, her eyes were huge and dark, but she leaned close and our mouths met, bruised and tender, desperate and lost.<br /><br />Eternity in slow sweet increments. She poised herself above me, hands on the wall, hips moving in slow ellipsis. Her breasts swayed, her hair swung forward, her breath came sharp and fast. I wanted, needed, to reach out to her, to reach for her, but it was too late for that. Instead I grabbed fistfuls of sheets, denying the ache I felt. Even as we fell together, fell upward toward completion, I ached, my heart, my straining muscles, my rigidity so sweetly enclasped. Ached, knowing it would fade. Ached, knowing there was no happily ever after, not for us. Never for us.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJs1KYG7ZAM/S5FwbwZJgVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/R9fQA9kAu48/s320/fff2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html"><i>(Click for details on FFF!)</i></a></div><br /><i>Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of <b>150-220 words</b>.

When I first saw this picture it was so clear -- a beautiful romantic moment in time, one of those eternities where time slows to a crawl. Endless waves of pleasure, drifting along, borne on a tide of mingled emotion and lust. I've had moments like that, some even in hotel rooms like this, and I relived some of them as I looked at the picture. I smiled, remembering. My fingers tapped at the keys, measuring, discarding, and when I started, that was exactly what I intended. To relive those happy moments, to capture some of that in a reworking.</i><br /><br /><i>And then it went wrong, somehow. Sometimes the best of intentions mean nothing, when the story weaves itself the way it chooses. Despite what I'd wanted originally, I watched from the outside as something very different emerged.

I'm soaked. On three?"<br /><br />"One, two, THREE!"<br /><br />We stopped in the middle of the crosswalk, dropping our coats. She bent over and waggled her ass at me; I clapped my hands on her tiny flank, spread her, and slammed in. She threw back her head and moaned, immediately bouncing back against me, bucking frantically, trying to get me deeper. Heads turned. I heard gasps of shock, disgusted murmurs, and not a few ribald comments.<br /><br />I knew time was short, so I really went for it, pounding her hard and fast, feeling her wetness coating my balls as they slapped against her violated pussy. She was never quiet, but now she was emitting banshee shrieks. I felt myself shooting towards the edge and brought down my hand in a sharp smack on her ass as I finished, roaring with atavistic glee.

Hundred-degree temps every day, not a cloud to cut the haze, the sun's rays remorseless, a hammerblow unrelenting.<br /><br />I remember it so well, how we sought privacy but found nothing better than an icehouse. She sat on a block, her excitement mingling with melted water, trickling down her thighs and calves. I bore her back, kissing, licking droplets of sweat from the hollow of her throat. She moaned and shuddered when I slid two fingers into her under that summer skirt.<br /><br />She scooted to the edge of the block, hiking up the skirt. And I slid deep, and pumped slow and steady, till my own cum gushed into her, trickling out to freeze in accusatory white drips on the block.<br /><br />Summer heat is unbearable in more ways than one. <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJs1KYG7ZAM/S5FwbwZJgVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/R9fQA9kAu48/s320/fff2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html"><i>(Click for details on FFF!)</i></a></div><br /><i>Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of <b>40-140 words</b>.

I've never fucked on a block of ice, and can't imagine it would be all that much fun in reality, but I *have* experienced that unbearable summer heat which is only made worse by your lust for your partner. Some kinds of heat can only be quenched one way, and some other kinds only get fanned higher when you try to put them out. I quite like this piece, if I may be permitted a bit of self-aggrandizement.

When I read this, though, I screamed "Fucking <b>WHAT???</b>" so loudly that my neighbor's movers outside heard me and were laughing. Not that I cared -- I was too busy raging.<br /><br />Let me be clear: I enjoy writing about dominance, or power games, once in a while. I think it's hot to write a story or two about reluctance. But the minute one party says "no", it's over. There are very few people on earth I hate more than the cowards who would rape (or have raped) a woman. Maybe it's my white-knight nature coming to the forefront, but I think most rapists should be gelded by having their balls torn off. Preferably by the hands of the woman they'd raped.<br /><br />(Yes, I know men are sometimes raped by women as well. But it's much, much rarer, and we're not talking about that right now).<br /><br />And then the Supreme Court has the gall to add insult to injury by calling the girl's lawsuit against the school "frivolous" and ordering her family to pay the school more than $45,000 in repaid legal fees. That's not even counting the money the FAMILY no doubt spent in a vain pursuit of justice.<br /><br />I do think the United States is a great place to live, most of the time. But every now and again I'm reminded that, just like humanity in general, we've got a long, long way to go before true enlightenment.<br /><br />If you'd care to donate to help this girl and her family out, the link is <a href="http://www.helpthecheerleader.com/">http://www.helpthecheerleader.com/</a> .<br /><br /><b><i>-- PB</i></b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7689622098160989072-8965010628766400535?l=insatiabear.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Panserbjørnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10643891392421573706noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689622098160989072.post-86033976607308417792011-06-06T09:49:00.000-05:002011-06-06T09:49:15.410-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7wiNjA3yaOw/TeziBS2PB3I/AAAAAAAAARI/53yiycn7etA/s1600/daddyalwaystellsmetokeepcoolbymerlinenabnit.jpg.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7wiNjA3yaOw/TeziBS2PB3I/AAAAAAAAARI/53yiycn7etA/s400/daddyalwaystellsmetokeepcoolbymerlinenabnit.jpg.JPG" width="265" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">(Source image: "Daddy Always Tells Me to Keep Cool" by <a href="http://www.obsessionart.com/find.asp?manufacturer_id=Merlin_Enabnit">Merlin Enabnit</a>)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Your challenge for this Friday, 6-10-11, is to use the picture above to write a flash fiction of <b>40-140 words</b>.

But Maria could barely hear it for the hammering of her heart.<br /><br />The leader's eyes played over the neat stacks of bills in the case, coldly calculating. He leaned over and spat something in machine-gun Russian to one of his associates, then straightened.<br /><br />“This is not Cold War era,” he said, sneering. “Russia does not raise fools. You are short by at least fifty thousand.”<br /><br />The Yakuza boss sitting on the other side of the table raised an eyebrow. Like the Russian, he leaned over and spoke to his associates; as with the Russian, his rapid-fire Japanese was too fast for Maria to follow. Then he shook his head.<br /><br />“She is not worth it,” he said. He stood, and his men stood with him. “No deal.”<br /><br />The Russian spat. “I see that Japan <b><i>does</i></b> raise fools.”<br /><br />Bolts clacked as MP5 submachine guns swung up to point at the Russians. More clacks as the Russians drew their own weapons. The threat of bloody apocalypse hung heavy in the air.<br /><br />Maria's voice, bored, broke the spell. “Oh for God's sake,” she said. “I'll make up the difference myself.” She swung off the table and took the Yakuza's arm. “Let's go.”<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJs1KYG7ZAM/S5FwbwZJgVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/R9fQA9kAu48/s320/fff2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html"><i>(Click for details on FFF!)</i></a></div><br /><i>Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of <b>100-220 words</b>.

If you like, keep looking at the picture so you can see how lovely and sexy Maria is, even half-nude, and keep that picture in your mind while you read. But I was more fascinated by the story behind this one, what sort of intrigue might be going on in this back room of a seedy bar.</i><br /><br /><i>No, there's no briefcase on the table (it looks like a tray of poker chips to me, or possibly some other board game), but I saw it in my head as a briefcase full of money. And then I wondered why Maria was the only one who was missing her clothing, so I decided that she was being displayed because one of the sides was selling her to the other one.</i><br /><br /><i>Then I did some thinking about how someone being sold into slavery would feel, and suddenly there was the last twist: what if Maria wasn't horrified or terrified or upset by being sold, but gets off on it? So if the deal looked like it wasn't going to go down because the buyers hadn't brought enough, what would she do to make sure it did go through? Why, chip in the remaining amount herself, of course. And then follow her new owner home and submit to his every whim. Because the very idea gets her all shivery and wet with excitement.</i><br /><br /><i>Disturbing? Maybe. All I know is that's where my mind went this week. Your mileage may vary.</i><br /><br /><i>Also, yes, I know the participants are Chinese, not Japanese (the pic was taken in Hong Kong, after all).

I offer it below without additional comment except to say that it has made me think quite a bit about how much monogamous people take for granted.<br /><br /><i><b>Monogamous Privilege Checklist, by Cory Davis<br />By admin, on April 5th, 2011</b><br />For the purposes of this list, I will refer to one’s position on the diagram of monogamy vs. various types of non-monogamy (polyamory, open marriage, swinging, religious polygyny, etc.) as simply “relationship orientation”.<br /><br />Note that for the purposes of this list, “relationship orientation” does NOT refer to one’s sexual orientation re: the Kinsey scale (heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, etc.). Monogamous individuals who are LGBTQ and/or in interracial and/or intergenerational romantic relationships may well be exempt from some (though not all) of these privileges, especially those marked with an asterisk at the end.</i><i><br />Monogamous Privilege Checklist:<br /><br />1) I can legally marry whomever I wish, with all the legal, medical, and financial benefits of marriage universally recognized for me and my family no matter where I live.*<br /><br />2) I am not accused of being abused, warped, immoral, unethical, or psychologically confused because of my relationship orientation.<br /><br />3) No one ever questions the validity of my love because of my relationship orientation.<br /><br />4) It is not assumed based on my relationship orientation that I or any of my former or current partners has been misled, coerced, manipulated, or used in any way.<br /><br />5) No one argues that my relationship orientation is impractical, unstable, incompatible with commitment, or otherwise effectively impossible to realize. No one argues that my relationship orientation works better in theory than in practice.<br /><br />6) It is not assumed that my life must be overly-complicated because of my relationship orientation.<br /><br />7) No one tries to convert me to their relationship orientation.<br /><br />8 It is not assumed that I will switch relationship orientations as soon as I find the “right” person.<br /><br />9) It is not generally understood that I am unfit to raise children because of my relationship orientation.<br /><br />10) I can feel certain that my government will not suddenly remove my children to a foster home based on my relationship orientation.<br /><br />11) As a responsible and loving parent, I won’t lose my children in a custody battle because of my relationship orientation.<br /><br />12) As a responsible and loving adult, I can adopt children without lying about my relationship orientation.<br /><br />13) I can be certain that my children won’t be harassed because of my relationship orientation.<br /><br />14) My children are given texts and information at school that validates my family structure – two parents with kids, two sets of grandparents, etc.<br /><br />15) It is not assumed based on my relationship orientation that my children are/were raised in an unstable environment.<br /><br />16) No one assumes or speculates based on my relationship orientation that my children experience or ever will experience emotional, psychological, social, or behavioral problems.<br /><br />17) I do not have to explain my relationship orientation to strangers whenever it comes up.<br /><br />18) People don’t ask why I made my choice of relationship orientation.<br /><br />19) People don’t ask why I made my choice to be public about my relationship orientation.<br /><br />20) I don’t have to defend my relationship orientation.<br /><br />21) I am not identified, categorized or grouped by my relationship orientation.<br /><br />22) I am never asked to speak for everyone who shares my relationship orientation.<br /><br />23) My individual behavior is not thought to reflect on all persons who identify with my relationship orientation.<br /><br />24) If a romantic relationship of mine ends, no one blames my relationship orientation.<br /><br />25) I can be sure that all of my roommates, classmates, and coworkers will be comfortable with my relationship orientation.<br /><br />26) When I talk about my monogamy (such as in a joke or talking about my relationships), I am never accused of pushing my relationship orientation onto others.<br /><br />27) I do not have to fear revealing my relationship orientation to friends or family. It’s assumed.<br /><br />28) I do not have to fear that if my family, friends, or professional community find out about my relationship orientation there will be economic, emotional, physical, or psychological consequences for me or for others.<br /><br />29) I can run for political office without expecting that my relationship orientation will disqualify me.<br /><br />30) I can depart from most meetings, classes, and conversations without feeling fearful, excluded, isolated, attacked, outnumbered, unheard, held at a distance, stereotyped or feared because of my relationship orientation.<br /><br />31) I can date whomever I wish, regardless of whether or not they previously identified with my relationship orientation, without fear that my new partner will be shunned by their friends and family due to their choice to embark upon a relationship with someone of my relationship orientation.<br /><br />32) I am guaranteed to find people of my relationship orientation represented in my workplace.<br /><br />33) I can be sure that my classes/courses/training will require curricular materials that testify to the existence of people with my relationship orientation.<br /><br />34) I can easily find a religious community that will not exclude me based on my relationship orientation.<br /><br />35) I am guaranteed to find sex education literature for people with my relationship orientation.<br /><br />36) I can count on finding a therapist or doctor who will recognize my relationship orientation as valid, should I seek their services.<br /><br />37) I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help my relationship orientation will not work against me.<br />38) Public hand-holding with my love is seen as acceptable and endearing. I can walk in public with my partner and not have people stare or do a double-take.*<br /><br />39) I can choose not to think politically about my relationship orientation.<br /><br />40) I can remain oblivious to the language and culture of other relationship orientations (i.e. polyamory, swinging, etc.) without paying any penalty for such obliviousness.<br /><br />41) Even if I am oblivious about other relationship orientations, my culture affords me the privilege of judging those orientations and being an authoritative source of relationship advice because I am monogamous. This is especially true if I am a therapist, researcher, media darling, or other authority figure.<br /><br />42) In everyday conversation, the language my friends and I use generally assumes my relationship orientation. For example, “family” meaning monogamous relationships with children.<br /><br />43) Nobody calls me monogamous with malice.<br /><br />44) I am not asked to think about why I am monogamous.<br /><br />45) Society encourages me to marry and celebrates my commitment.*<br /><br />46) My relationship orientation is commonly represented in music, television, movies, books, magazines, greeting cards, and postcards.<br /><br />47) Major, mainstream social networking websites such as Facebook allow me to set my relationship status according to my relationship orientation.<br /><br />48) I can go to relationship and dating events (i.e. singles events, relationship skills workshops) secure in the knowledge that my relationship orientation will be the standard and will be catered to.<br /><br />49) I never need to change pronouns when describing the events of my life in order to protect my job, my family, or my friendships.*<br /><br />50) If I’m a teenager, I can enjoy dating, first loves, and all the social approval of learning to love appropriately within my relationship orientation.*<br /><br />51) If I’m called to work with children or to serve God (in most denominations), I don’t have to lie about my relationship orientation in order to keep my job.<br /><br />52) I can count on my community of friends, acquaintances, strangers, and various institutions to celebrate my love and my family, mourn my losses, and support my relationships.*<br /><br />53) It is not assumed merely because of my relationship orientation that I am experienced in sex (or that I even have it at all!).<br /><br />54) It is not assumed that I am inclined toward my relationship orientation purely for sexual reasons.<br /><br />55) It is not assumed based on my relationship orientation that I am more likely than average to have STIs.<br /><br />56) It is not assumed based on my relationship orientation that I am unaware of the risks posed by my sexual behavior.<br /><br />57) I am not assumed based on my relationship orientation to be sexually indiscriminate.<br /><br />58) I do not have to deal with the language and culture of my relationship orientation being co-opted, redefined, and demonized by an unfriendly majority which controls the media.<br /><br />59) No one ever calls my relationship orientation “creepy” or “disturbing”.<br /><br />60) I can befriend people without them and/or their romantic partners assuming that I am trying to convert them to my relationship orientation.<br /><br />61) No one takes issue with their children being around me based on my relationship orientation.<br /><br />62) I can be fairly certain that anyone who is in a committed, romantic relationship with me will also be invited to most parties, weddings, and other social events to which I am invited.*<br /><br />63) No one makes assumptions about my political views or religious beliefs based on my relationship orientation.<br /><br />64) No one refers to my relationship orientation by the wrong term or label, either intentionally or inadvertently.<br /><br />65) I do not have to coin or invent terms to describe my relationship orientation and familial connections to others, because the language describing my relationship orientation already exists and is known throughout the culture.<br /><br />66) No one ever ridicules or makes jokes about the terminology that people with my relationship orientation commonly use to describe their relationship structures and familial connections.<br /><br />– Cory Davis </i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7689622098160989072-5202793444746632576?l=insatiabear.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Panserbjørnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10643891392421573706noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689622098160989072.post-24114045625668389172011-05-09T10:38:00.000-05:002011-05-09T10:38:38.090-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5MK3Tl7Wnxg/TcgGgfqmREI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/WLGA3n9me0w/s1600/lithograph%252384byhajimesorayama.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5MK3Tl7Wnxg/TcgGgfqmREI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/WLGA3n9me0w/s400/lithograph%252384byhajimesorayama.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">(Source image: unknown title, artist: the legendary <a href="http://www.sorayama.net/">Hajime Sorayama</a>)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Your challenge for this Friday, 5-13-11, is to use the picture above to write a flash fiction of <b>60-99 words</b>.

It was a fantastic idea and we read a lot of stuff that turned both of us on. One of those, however, was Anne Rice's "Sleeping Beauty" series (The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty; Beauty's Punishment; Beauty's Release), a decidedly adult fairy-tale series with extreme sadomasochism and bondage in it. And some of the stuff in it turned my stomach, mostly because of the humiliation and degradation involved for the characters. I don't mind the idea of S&amp;M, or mixing pain with pleasure -- though it's really not high on my list of fun stuff -- but when the people in the story are being treated like filth, humiliated and tortured and broken, I just don't get how someone can find that erotic. We read only part of the first book before deciding it wasn't doing anything for either of us and changing to something else. I did read the rest of the series eventually, mostly to find out if it got any better, but didn't enjoy the rest of book one or books two and three any more than I had previously.</i><br /><br /><i>When I saw this picture, out of nowhere came my memories of those stories, and I knew I wanted to write about her experiences with same. Maybe she liked the pain, the humiliation; maybe she felt a kinship with the Beauty of the tales. Maybe she wanted in her secret heart to be tormented and hurt like the ones in there. It isn't my cup of tea, but the books sold fairly well, so who's to say that someone else might not really get off on those tales? Your mileage may vary. That's part of the fun in relationships, discovering what turns someone else on. How boring it would be if we all liked the same things, eh?</i><i>&nbsp;</i><br /><br /><i>Please note that I am no longer collecting the participants list.

She scanned the room, looking for someone, anyone, who had two brain cells to rub together. <i>These people are like a flock of chattering magpies. Lots of noise, not a damn thing to say. And I'm too hot and this wine is terrible and that music is crap and god, I hate this.</i><br /><br />And then her eyes fell on Adele, and Adele turned and stared back, pinned Liz to the wall with that searing gaze, ignited her from crown to toes. And Adele smiled a long slow smile, and mouthed one word: “Bathroom”. <br /><br />And Liz stumbled robotically towards the bathroom, heart hammering, breath already coming hard and fast. <i>How does she do this to me every single time?</i> she wondered.<br /><br />And Adele followed, the lock clicking behind her. She advanced, bearing Liz back, Liz's mouth opening to accept Adele's hot tongue, feeling Adele's hands ripping her blouse open, wanting Adele's nipping teeth on her hard nipples, Adele's fingers buried in her pussy, wanting Adele, all of her.<br /><br />Adele pulled back, grinning. “My lovely, lovely Liz,” she purred. “I have something for you.”<br /><br />And Liz's eyes went wide as Adele opened her slacks to reveal the biggest strap-on Liz had ever seen. She shuddered, and spread her legs. “Oh yes, baby,” she moaned. “Now.”<br /><br />“Right now,” Adele agreed, and thrust hard.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJs1KYG7ZAM/S5FwbwZJgVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/R9fQA9kAu48/s320/fff2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html"><i>(Click for details on FFF!)</i></a></div><br /><i>Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of <b>120-240 words</b>.

I've read a lot of stuff that indicates one of the pair usually plays a dominant role, "playing the guy" if you will. Adele and Liz are my attempt to play out that kind of dynamic. I kind of wish I had more room to develop these two, and may do so later on. I picture Liz as the academic, intellectual type, possibly a scholar or an art gallery owner, overtly feminine but hiding her sexual appetite from the world. Adele I see as head of her own business firm, the kind of woman who dresses in business suits and wears her hair short, looking like something out of a Patrick Nagel print, knowing that people call her "butch" and not giving a damn about it. I imagine that she met Liz at her gallery and immediately moved in, knowing that Liz wanted someone to guide and teach her, finding to her surprise that Liz was enthusiastic and very unlike the drab personality she presented to the world.</i><br /><br /><i>In any case, I found this picture delightful, a moment of pure passion between two people who are obviously very much into each other. Lust? Love? Infatuation? Or just a power exchange? It seemed it could be interpreted lots of different ways. I think it's all of those, for these two. And I think it's hot as hell.

She sat on the couch, legs drawn up, eyes hooded and empty. Gray twilight was invading the room. Darkness grew and deepened as the silence stretched.<br /><br />“So that's it, then?” she wanted to know. “Three years together, and now this?”<br /><br />I couldn't, wouldn't, answer her. I couldn't draw in the air, couldn't force words past the agony blocking my throat.<br /><br />“Don't I even get a farewell fuck?” she whispered, and her voice broke.<br /><br />I turned to her, and there in her beseeching face was all the love I'd hoped for. Hoped for, but never had. And now it was too late. But it was wrong to end it like this.<br /><br />In the gathering dark, with shadows encroaching on the floor, veiling our faces, we made love one last time.

The urge was inexplicable, but it was too strong for me to ignore.<br /><br />In almost no time I was fountaining urgently, my semen splashing into the fire and vaporizing. Yet even as it hit...<br /><br />A deep rumble heralded Her arrival. The lava burst and boiled, spraying high as She emerged: a being of molten ire, glowing orange-red, perfectly formed, beautiful and terrible beyond belief.<br /><br />She shook Herself, spraying lava droplets in all directions. “Who has awakened Me?” she boomed, Her voice the crackle of flame and hiss of steam escaping. “Who calls me?”<br /><br />Her eyes fell on me, standing stunned on the shoreline with dick in hand. “Oho!” she roared. “Come, then. It's been centuries since I took a consort. We'll see if your seed is that potent every time.”<br /><br />She gestured. Sheets of flame coalesced around me, but didn't burn. I felt them sinking in, right down to my bones. My vision went red and I felt a liquid shifting as I was forged anew.<br /><br />I stepped out onto the lava sea and approached Her. Her eyes flared white-hot with anticipation as my glowing rod rose high. She embraced me, and we flowed together, and I knew there was no going back.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJs1KYG7ZAM/S5FwbwZJgVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/R9fQA9kAu48/s320/fff2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html"><i>(Click for details on FFF!)</i></a></div><br /><i>Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of <b>111-222 words</b>.

First I considered the idea of a secret observer watching a flame spirit dance in her lava pool and capturing her for himself. Then I thought about making it a solitary thing, a fire goddess enjoying her bath, pleasuring herself as the flame burned. Then I wondered how it would be if a mortal summoned this goddess almost by accident, but she refrained from burning him to a crisp because she liked what she saw. I seized on that one and ran with it. The only problem I had was explaining why he suddenly had the urge to masturbate into a lava field. I dealt with that (and with the fact that he wouldn't be able to get closer than about six feet because the heat would be too intense) by the simple expedient of ignoring it completely.

You wanted to see me?”<br /><br />“Yes, please come in.”<br /><br />She had cloudy gray eyes, peering at me through a smoky haze. And a voice that sounded like it was lost at the bottom of a well: frail, timid. She wore a drab dress that tried but failed to hide her figure. I admired the architecture as she walked ahead of me.<br /><br />“Drink, Mr. Wainwright?”<br /><br />“Sure.”<br /><br />The neck of the bottle chattered against the glasses as she poured. She was nervous about something, but damned if I could tell what. She downed half hers in a gulp and wandered away across the room.<br /><br />“Mr. Wainwright...”<br /><br />“Make it Lew, please.”<br /><br />“Lew, then,” she agreed. “Thank you for agreeing to help me.”<br /><br />“I haven't.”<br /><br />She looked confused. “But...”<br /><br />“I said I'd come out and listen. I still haven't heard anything about what's eating you.”<br /><br />“All right, then,” she said softly. “Here.”<br /><br />I whistled. The photograph she'd handed me showed her in a position only a husband should see.<br /><br />“Blackmail?”<br /><br />“Yes,” she whispered. “I want these destroyed. If you can find them, and the man who took them...”&nbsp; She shivered, then: “You can have what you see here.”<br /><br />I laughed. “That's the bunk, sweetheart. What's to keep me from taking it right now?”<br /><br />And she shrank back into the recesses of the sofa as I approached, gun already in hand.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJs1KYG7ZAM/S5FwbwZJgVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/R9fQA9kAu48/s320/fff2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html"><i>(Click for details on FFF!)</i></a></div><br /><i>Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of <b>100-200 words</b>.

Unless you're doing it to earn a spanking (in which case, see me after class).</i><br /><br /><i><b>Special Bonus Director's Commentary Track:</b> </i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>I've been reading entirely too much crime noir lately -- Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Ross Macdonald, Cornell Woolrich -- and so when I went hunting through my stash of FFF pics and saw this boudoir-style pic, I was immediately catapulted into a seedy world where all femmes are fatale, all private dicks are world-weary, and everyone double-crosses everyone else. I was on fire with possibilities, and I came up with several little tales. Only one problem: I'd forgotten about the short word count. I simply couldn't shoehorn it down to anything less than the 248 words I have here without leaving out important bits. So, for the first time I've gone over my own word limit.</i><br /><br /><i>That said, I do mostly like how this turned out. Some of the sleuths in crime noir fiction are almost as scummy as the criminals they hunt. Sam Spade, for example, has an affair with his partner's wife, strikes a woman, beats up a suspect for information, lies to the police, and laughs when the woman who loves him is sent to jail. The world isn't black and white in crime noir, but shades of gray. I wanted to reflect some of that -- a private dick who decided to take his reward before he'd wrapped up the case the dame brought him. His first name is a nod to Macdonald's Lew Archer, one of the best of the crime noir series.</i><br /><br /><i>Writing in this style is damned hard, though. Good crime noir is sparse, terse, barely descriptive. It's not just the dialogue and the phrasings, it's the atmosphere in general. I can enjoy the hell out of reading it, but I am never really happy with the results when I try to emulate it myself. Hopefully you do like it.</i><br /><br /><i>Please note that I am no longer collecting the participants list. If you are playing along this week, please leave your link below using the widget.

For weeks my waitress at this dusty little streetside café, she danced right along the edge of flirtation but never overstepped it.<br /><br />Till the day I brought my guitar. From the first chord I struck there was something in her eyes, dark and flickering. I wrapped cadenzas around her, held her fast with fingers dancing on the strings, her gaze locked with mine, the spark jumping.<br /><br />After, she settled onto my lap with a swirl of skirts. “So beautiful,” she sighed with a lilting French accent. “Why did you not tell me you played?”<br /><br />“Better to show you,” I grinned.<br /><br />“Ah! yes, it is better to show,” she agreed. “Like....this?” Her eyes danced, flicking downward, to where she had pulled up her skirt. She was bare beneath it.<br /><br />“Very much like that,” I agreed, and slid my hand up her thigh.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJs1KYG7ZAM/S5FwbwZJgVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/R9fQA9kAu48/s320/fff2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/2010/03/flash-fiction-friday-faq.html"><i>(Click for details on FFF!)</i></a></div><br /><i>Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of <b>119-187 words</b>.

I pictured long, humid glances of passion between the players in the tale, sultry heat in a café, sweat rolling down bodies, torrid romance building slowly. And then my research on Morocco and Casablanca informed me that it has mostly a very pleasant and mild climate with neither extreme highs nor extreme lows. That threw that approach out the window.</i><br /><br /><i>So I seized on the guitar instead. Music is always flowing through my head, and so it was almost effortless to fit a fiery Moorish rhythm into the story I had in mind next. </i><i>I tried to suggest this was a glimpse into the Casablanca of yesteryear, before its jeweled luster dimmed, by giving her a French accent. </i><i>Maybe the waitress wouldn't give him the time of day, but she went all to pieces when he played for her.

At first I had planned a sort of Phantom of the Opera tie-in, with the Phantom taking a lover from among the dancers and musicians of the Opera House, but with a twist -- that he would require her to hide her own face while they made love. I decided against that one because it seemed there'd be very little intimacy with the faces of the participants hidden, but it's still given me ideas for some semi-anonymous fantasies that may yet see life here (I understand that semi-anonymity can be a powerful turn-on, at least in some of the stories I've read). We'll see.</i><br /><br /><i>In any case, the approach I wound up going with actually came over me when I happened to see a woman on TV whose husband had left her after a horrific burn accident left her scarred. I'm one of those old-fashioned people who thinks that love does conquer all, so I promptly wrote this sort of fairy-tale approach (fairy tales AGAIN; I really do need to stop that) where our heroine had been the victim of horrible torture that left her face scarred but her body intact. Naturally, she is terrified that her lover won't want her anymore. Most men, I think, would look only at the body and still be titillated, but would they react well if and when she removed the mask? Our heroine's lover isn't at all fazed by it, but (as seen by the TV show I watched) real life is not always so forgiving.</i><br /><br /><i>So, after last week's lighthearted take I go right back to the introspective darker stuff. What's my mind coming to? I don't know. Let's see what you all come up with.</i><br /><br /><i>Please note that for the past few weeks I have been trying something different with the participants list.

A small part of me wondered when my beloved might get home.<br /><br />Timeless minutes later, I found out. Her small hand stole into the water and caressed my sleeping penis; it awoke to her touch, as it always does, raising its head happily.<br /><br />I shuddered pleasantly and broached, scattering water everywhere.
