Why?
“Let’s face it, I’m crazy about you and you’re crazy about me. This isn’t the first time I’ve wanted to rip your clothes off. And if you don’t know that I love you by now, let me tell you again.” She held his face in her hands, “Oscar Patterson, I love you.”
With what seemed like one fluid move from him, she was straddling his lap again. He kissed her with that wild, desperate kiss that made all her nerves like live wires. When he came up for air he said, “I have loved you since that night you helped me grade papers.” He rubbed his hand up her back under her shirt. “Stay with me tonight.”
“I’m assuming we are not talking about the guest bed?”
“I want to hold you like I held you the night you had a bad dream.”
“Do you think that wise?”
“I just want to be near you.”
“What will happen if we do?”
“That is between us and God. Or at least it should be but you know if anyone finds out my mother will delight in the Whore of Babylon bit.” He held her tightly for a long time. “Oh.” His hands were still under her shirt. “That.” He hissed as if he’d answered his own question.
“O,” She got up so she could meet him eye to eye. “I think it’s best if we put on the brakes. There will be all kinds of time for me to do the school girl routine, and believe you me, I will.”
“I can’t wait.” He kissed her. “You know that song, I want to kiss you all over?”
“Yeah.”
“I want to lick you all over.”
She giggled. “Oh indeed. But then, would I still get the extra credit.”
“All you need.” He ran his hands up her back again. This time he didn’t stop at her bra. He went under the material. His middle finger on his right hand touched a rough piece of flesh. As he moved his hand toward her side so he could feel what it was, he noticed she wasn’t breathing. “Ess, what is that?”
“I can’t tell you right now.” She looked as if she was going to cry.
“But you will someday.”
“Yeah,” she choked, “someday.”
He pulled his knees up, gently guiding her against them. With a delicate touch, he traced the top of her bra that was exposed. Traced it with such care, as if it was a faberge egg.
She just watched him. If there was something bothering him, she wished he’d tell her. Back and forth with deliberate slowness, he caressed the material.
“Is purple your favorite color?”
Somehow she knew that wasn’t where his mind was. “Yes.” Her response was low.
When he spoke, his voice cracked. “Why do you love me?” He was no longer tracing the top of her bra. The expression on his face reminded her of a child seeing Santa for the first time. Curious, scared, excited, lost.
What kind of question was this? She couldn’t let him see the utter shock she felt.
He was watching her, waiting.
She took a deep breath, “You love me for who I am. You let me be myself. That is the best feeling in the world. You are kind. Nothing I do goes unnoticed. You knew what size to buy my Christmas present without asking.” Big tears streamed down his face. She carefully wiped them away. He was breaking her heart.
He focused his gaze back to her bra. “If my own mother doesn’t love me, how can you?”
She continued caressing his face. “I can’t speak for your mother. You are the kindest. Most caring, gentle, sweetest, smartest man I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. I am excited; even with that big blob of shit hanging over my head.” He smiled though still crying. “I’m excited that you are in my life.”
He pulled her to him, burying his face in her cleavage, sobbing. When she draped her arms around his shoulder so she could hold his head and put her fingers in his hair, it seemed he cried that much harder.
It broke her heart.
I love that you have the courage to write and post these stories. It shows such vulnerability and tenderness, along with your erotic imagery.. yet you also remain restrained in your descriptions, allowing the readers imagination room to go further. My favorite line lies in the middle.. “i want to lick you all over.” .. Ty ❤

I’ve written a few poems with erotic imagery i am reluctant to post publicly. Did you feel that resistance with writing your stories? And are they fantasies, or just stories about characters having fantasies.. or perhaps a bit of each.?

Yes, I do. My experience, I must say this community is very respectful when it comes to creativity. I’ve only had one person pull attention to my not so elegant grammar. And a couple who didn’t understand my posting style. With ‘Winter Season’, I post a picture of caution when I use colorful language or as with a past post an adult situation. When I posted my first religious piece, I was very nervous of negative comments. There are quite a few religious writings here. Not just Christianity. One blogger that I’ve been reading is the shimmermuse. There not much imagery to it, it’s there. The school girl fantasy belong to the character.

I understand that. Very few of my personal relations know about my blog. I know they know I blog. But if they have read any of it, I’m unaware. I have a really difficult time expressing what I need (or think I need) to say. So this is where I do it.

It is just an email i created when i worked as an environmental action coordinator. When i started this blog, i resumed using the same email address. Then wordpress suggested that as a name for my website (ozarkwaterpal.com).. so i did that. The blog is the only thing i’m doing with the web address.. but perhaps one day i will expand to offer some of my music as well. I have some good original songs i’m hoping to record and share.. someday.

I’m a big fan of baby steps.
I posted one story on (then Twitter) for 15 minutes. It scared the daylights out of me. I’ll stick to WordPress/Jetpack. I do have a few shorts on YouTube. The only purpose in doing that was to link to my WP/JP work.
Do what’s comfortable for you.

In many ways, i feel both lost and found in my life.. like i went off the beaten path long ago.. found myself in a magical place.. made a home here.. and the rest of the world kept on spinning, but more wobbly as the years go by.. and myself less interested in jumping on that wagon again with youtube and google etc. driving the bus. Part of me just wants to keep my two feet planted on the real earth and sing my songs in real time for real people.

I wrote a song called the neighbor song .. i will try to send it to you somehow someday. Meanwhile you inspired me to write this morning and here is what i found.. Touching Stories
Reading your stories
a window of sorts
loving the ride on
a purple dark horse
Esther tells Oscar
her deepest of thrills
i think we know what
they both deeply feel
And how they each have
their own walls in the way
both with desires beat
their life through the day
A thousand miles more
to imagine such glory
the hope of love lives
inside touching stories ~
