Welcome to another steamy edition of "ReemAfterDark Presents...." Tonight I'll be sharing a piece that started out as a short story that I wrote the eventually was featured in an "Eros 369" anthology. The story was so well-received that I decided to extend it into a novella titled, "Colder than January." (Some of you may have read this chapter before but I'm sure you won't mind reading it again)
CHAPTER 1 - galerie erotique
An art gallery was the last place he
expected to spend his Friday evening. A bar, lounge or club was usually more to
his taste. Whatever he knew about fine art he’d taught himself by reading books
or by paying close attention to discussions on the subject. He’d also dated an
art major once so that also helped. He had no serious interest in paintings or
sculptures but occasionally, the knowledge made it much easier to hold
conversations with potential clients.
In fact, it was one of his best clients who suggested that he attend this
particular event. All week he’d been in a grim mood so socializing had been the
furthest thing from his mind. However, as he strolled through the bourgeois
crowd, he was glad that he had changed his mind. The place was saturated with
tailored suits, designer stilettos, diamonds and pearls, all swimming in a sea
of wealth. Celebrities, moguls, titans of business, and infamous socialites
were scattered everywhere. They held hollow conversations while they sipped
expensive champagne and pretended to admire the art. Most of them were simply
giddy to be surrounded by people with similar lifestyles. In many ways, he was
the outsider but that didn’t bother him at all. In this jungle, they were the herd that outnumbered him
but he was the lion that stalked them
stealthily as he moved through the tall grass. He put his game face on as if he
belonged and began to hunt his prey.
He worked the room like a professional.
He’d done this a thousand times before and each time, he’d gotten better at it.
He smiled, shook hands, kissed stranger’s faces, held friendly conversations
but was careful to never formally introduce himself. Everyone that he
interacted with simply pretended that they actually knew who he was. He seemed
so relaxed and comfortable in their presence that none of them dared to ask him
too much, fearful that their inquiries might offend him. They all understood
how unwise it was to bruise egos unnecessarily.
Once he’d made his way around the lavish
event, he decided that it was time to fall back in order to observe his
surroundings on a deeper level. That night, he hunted big game and not everyone
qualified as the species of clientele
he was after. He was certain that as the evening stretched on, certain
individuals would naturally become more loose and reckless. He watched for this
as he patiently patrolled the gala. His champagne had started to get warm and
as he tipped back his glass to finish it, he spotted her from the corner of his
eye. He couldn’t believe that he hadn’t noticed her before.
While everyone else mingled and
socialized, she sat alone on a red couch. She was the only one in the entire
gallery that wasn’t talking to anyone else so he should have noticed her
before. Only the champagne bottle that sat at her feet kept her company. She
was also absolutely gorgeous and he never overlooked gorgeous women. She was
very different from most of the paper-thin females in attendance. The black
dress she wore hugged every plus-sized curve on her body. She was a big girl
for sure but he thought she had a beautiful shape. Even though she was sitting
down he could tell that she had hips for days and her cleavage was insane. He
couldn’t help but undress her with his eyes as he imagined what it might feel like
in-between her warm thighs. Slowly, with his gaze fixed on her voluptuous
frame, he made his way over to her and sat down beside her like a spider. The
gears in his mind began to turn as he tried to decide how he would weave his
web while she pretended not to notice him.
“Good evening,” he said and extended his
hand.
She ignored the gesture and remained
focused on the admirers of the art. She watched their reactions with great
intensity, almost like how a starving person might pay attention to food.
“Hello,” she answered coldly.
She still hadn’t turned to look at him
and halfway hoped that he would just go away on his own. She grabbed the
champagne bottle by the neck, put it to her mouth and tipped it back. Dirty
thoughts ran across his mind as her thick, full lips wrapped around the tip.
When she was finished, she used her tongue to lick off the excess alcohol and
put the bottle back down on the ground.
“So, you’re the Juliet Sinclair that has blessed us with all of this art
tonight. Your paintings are beautiful,” he told her, trying to charm her as
well as throw her off balance.
Shocked, she finally turned to take a
good look at him. Immediately, she knew that she should have just laughed and
denied who she really was but there was something about him that made her
curious. He had figured out her big
secret and she needed to know how.
“How do you know that?” she asked
nervously.
“I’m observant. It was easy enough to
figure out that this is your work. I noticed how nervous you were while you
watched everyone looking at the art. I could tell you had a deeper interest in
their reactions than most. The red streak in your hair and the piercings were a
give-away too by the way. You’re the only one in here who looks like an artist,” he explained, sounding quite pleased that he
had guessed correctly.
“Wow! No one, not even the brokers that
sell my work know me. None of them have ever met me in person,” she answered,
not quite sure what to say next.
“Why the secrecy, if you don’t mind me
asking?” he inquired with a raised eyebrow.
“I never wanted people to kiss my ass. I
always want their honest opinions. I prefer it to the brown-nosing and hollow
praise that gets handed out at most of these things. I even go as far as to buy
some of my own pieces just to throw everyone off so they think I’m just a
supporter. The misdirection adds to the mystique of my work. It actually sells
better because of it,” she said.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone,” he
told her with a wink and one of the most charming grins she had ever seen.
Somehow, she could feel the sincerity in his smile. She decided that it was
safe to play with him.
“Not good enough. Now that you know my
big secret, you’ll have to share one of yours with me or I’ll have to kill
you,” she joked.
“Really?” he asked.
“Yes, really,” she answered.
“Well, in that case, I’ll tell you
something that no one else here tonight knows,” he said. He looked around and
pretended to make sure that no one was in earshot of them before he leaned in
and whispered to her, “My real name is January.”
“Are you joking?” she asked, laughing
heartily. She slapped him on the thigh but liked the way his flesh felt so she
left her hand there.
“Not at all. My parents named me after
my birth month. I guess they weren’t very creative,” he explained.
“I guess not,” she answered, wiping
tears from her eyes from laughing so hard.
When she caught her breath, she noticed
that he was still smiling which was good. She hadn’t intended to offend him. As
she continued to giggle, she kept her grip on his leg and squeezed him. He
didn’t seem to mind and she surprised herself with her boldness. Juliet looked
at the empty champagne bottle at her feet and decided that she would just blame
it on all the liquor she’d guzzled that night.
“Most people call me Jan for short. I
know, it’s feminine but I’m comfortable enough in my masculinity that it
doesn’t bother me,” he told her.
“I can see that,” she answered.
She was incredibly turned on by his
presence. He had managed to step into her personal space aggressively but also
balanced it off masterfully by being subtle and smooth. She caught his eyes on
her thighs which were pressed together tightly as her panties got moist. She
felt it and blushed as she wondered if he could tell.
“Are you an art dealer?” Juliet asked.
“Me, an art dealer? No, not at all,” he
answered, almost as if the notion had been more ridiculous than his real name.
“I’m really here for the networking.”
“Networking huh? So, what type of
business are you involved in?” she asked. Her question was followed by an
awkward, uncomfortable silence. “Now, that’s unfair. You know how I earn my
money but I don’t know how you make yours,” she continued, causing him to grin
again but this time, without the confidence he had displayed before. It was
obvious that he had suddenly become very uncomfortable and she could see in his
face that he thought very hard before he answered.
“Well, I guess I am a dealer of sorts
but more along the lines that would be considered criminal,” he began to
explain. Then, he leaned in close to her ear again before he whispered the last
bit. “I peddle illegal, temporary happiness to people who can afford it.”
“Oh, so you’re just a common drug
dealer,” she said, frowning as she realized just what his occupation really was,
no matter how he chose to describe it.
He immediately seemed slightly less dashing to her.
“There’s absolutely nothing common about
me,” he immediately answered.
His confidence had not wavered, not even
slightly. She liked it and she felt guilty for liking it. There was also
something dangerous and edgy in his tone. She could read the double-meaning
hidden in his answer and her body responded by throbbing in her most feminine
places.
“How so?” she asked, intrigued by what
January’s answer might be.
“I haven’t made a hand-to-hand sale
since I was thirteen. I’m here because one of my clients suggested it. You see,
the types of people that are here, enjoying your artwork are very discreet when
it comes to their habits and vices. They do their dirt in the dark at all
costs. It’s a safe, lucrative, win-win situation for me,” he told her.
Juliet listened to his explanation and
her curiosity subsided slightly in favor of her better judgment. The voice of
reason in her head screamed that getting involved in any way with this man was
a horrible idea. January read her body language and felt a chill come over her
after he had been sure she was warming up to him. He quickly changed the
subject.
“Where are you from originally?” he
asked her.
He was already taken by her so for him,
it was too late to turn back. He had to have her. He’d do whatever it took to
re-kindle her interest.
“I was born and raised in Arizona. I
moved to New York two years ago,” she answered.
“Interesting,” January answered.
“Why? Don’t I look like a desert girl?”
she joked.
He was glad that her mood had lightened.
“It’s just that most of your paintings
feature water as their main theme,” he said.
“Well, I guess coming from such a dry
place, I’ve always been fascinated with anything wet,” she told him.
“Me too,” he answered, wetting his lips
as he stared at her cleavage.
“You’re fresh I see,” she answered after
she realized what he was looking at.
She could feel her heart beat faster
because of the way he looked at her. She opened her legs, separating her thighs
for the first time since he’d sat down beside her. She was a little ashamed
that after finding out what he did for a living, she hadn’t been frightened
away.
“Very,” he answered before showing her
just how fresh he was.
He took her hand and put it on the bulge
between his legs that had started to pulse and throb.
“Mmm, interesting,” she said.
Her voice trembled in eager anticipation
as she felt him grow. She squeezed him and tightened her grip to let him know
that she wasn’t afraid.
“Interesting that I’m flirting with
you?” he asked, even though he knew that they had crossed way beyond the
borders of harmless flirtation.
“No,” she lied. “Interesting that a drug
dealer would have any knowledge of art at all. I’ve never met a cultured criminal before.”
“Now I’m insulted. As a matter of fact,
I happen to be a bit of an artist myself,” he told her.
“Really? How so?” Juliet asked, somewhat
intrigued. She was still more focused on the bulge in his slacks that seemed to
grow the more they talked.
“Let me show you,” he said and took her
by the hand. “Is there somewhere we can be alone?”
“Yes,” she answered as she got up off of
the couch with her heart pounding so loud that she almost swore that he could
hear it.
Juliet didn’t know why she felt so
reckless. Again, she thought about all of the alcohol in her system but she
knew that wasn’t it. She was in the mood for excitement and the thrill of
sneaking off with a total stranger.
She could feel January’s eyes on her
behind as she led him through the gallery. She purposely rocked her wide hips
just a little more, just to make sure he saw just how much ass she really had.
He wasn’t mad at all as he thought about all of the things he would do to it if
she let him. His imagination told him that everyone could see his privates
through his slacks, hard against his thigh as he walked. There was no room left
in his boxer-briefs so his tip had just slipped past the bottom of the right
leg of the cotton material. Finally, they reached the end of a lonely corridor.
Juliet looked around one final time to make sure that no one saw them before
she quickly pulled him inside the room. She locked the door behind them which
cause a steady stream of erotic mischief to run through January’s mind.
The room appeared to be used for storage
and was filled with all kinds of furniture, covered with dusty drop cloths.
January pulled the covering off of the nearest antique couch and sat her down
on it. Juliet bit her bottom lip as he took two steps away from her and started
to unbutton his shirt. He walked back towards her to lay it down neatly on the
arm of the chair. This time, he only took one step away from her as he lifted
his undershirt up over his head. She was in awe as she looked at him. January
wasn’t particularly cut or rippling with muscles but he was a strongly
constructed man. However, that’s not what caught her attention. His upper body
was covered in tattoos. There were incredibly detailed portraits of loved lost
ones’ haunting faces. Letters written in calligraphy illustrated sentimental
strings of words that held great meaning to him. There were also mythological
beasts in conflict mixed with modern imagery. Somehow, they all flowed together
beautifully without seeming cluttered or confusing.
“Wow, you’re beautiful,” she told him as
he turned slowly so she could see his back as well.
He turned around to face her before he
spoke again.
“Thank you. Of course I didn’t ink them
on but I drew and designed each one myself. They all flow together and tell the
story of my life,” he explained and for the first time that night, she could
hear humility in his voice.
Juliet stood up and took a step towards
him to close the gap between them. She sent a chill through his body as she
gently ran her fingers against his flesh. She traced the slightly raised lines
of ink that had been imbedded in his skin by the painful kisses and caress of
the tattoo needle. She could feel his chest tremble as his heart pounded like a
base drum. She knew that his blood was hot as it coursed quickly through his
entire body. She softly kissed the lips of the faces inked on his skin.
“They’re all amazing,” she told him
before she ran her wet tongue across the wings of the dragon that stretched out
across his shoulder.
Then, she hastily unbuckled his pants to
see exactly what kind of man he was. She wasn’t disappointed. She was even
happier when she began to skillfully stroke him sensuously and felt him grow.
She wanted to see it for herself. Breathless, she took her hand out of his
underwear and sat back down on the couch. She raised her skirt before she did
and spread her legs so that he could see how thick her dainty lips were behind
her damp panties. January got even harder at the sight of her most private
parts.
“Is there anything else you want to show
me?” she asked, sliding her fingers into her underwear.
He could see her fingers moving behind
the beige lace and wished it was his tongue instead. The scent of her perfume
still lingered, even after she stepped away from him and he could only imagine
what she would taste like.
“There are a few things I’d like to show
you,” he answered as he watched her stimulate herself.
First he took his shoes off, then his
socks and then his pants. Finally, he stepped out of his boxer-briefs and stood
completely naked. To Juliet, it felt as if he cast a shadow over the entire
room as he stood in front of her, erect and imposing. January followed her
eyes, fixed between his legs and began to stroke himself slowly as she watched,
almost hypnotized.
“So I see,” she answered, licking her
lips.
There was something about the way he
handled it that gave her the impression that he knew how to use it. She knew
that she knew exactly what to do with
it.
“No, you haven’t seen anything yet. Take
off your dress,” he commanded.
There was nothing charming or polite
about the way he asked her. She loved it. Never in her life had she gotten out
of a dress faster. Usually, she was shy about her body but he looked at her
with such savage lust that any feelings of inadequacy for being full-figured
disappeared.
“What now?” she asked once her dress was
off and tossed aside.
“Now the bra,” he told her.
Immediately, she lifted each cup and let
her breasts fall from it before she unhooked it from the back. She covered her
nipples with her hands and was turned on by how hard they were against her
palms. Without saying a word, January motioned for her to move her hands away.
She eagerly complied and reached for the waist of her lace panties to slide
them off as well but he stopped her.
“I got that!” he said and got down on
his knees in front of her.
January didn’t pull her underwear off
right away, even though he knew her body longed for him to. He wanted to tease
her so that she ached for him to take her. Juliet pulled on her own hair and
writhed in anticipation as he kissed her soft spot through her panties. He
could feel how hot and wet she was as he pressed his lips firmly against her
thick kitty lips. He was pleased when she put her hand on his head and let out
a tiny scream. He knew that she was trying her best to hold back. He loved it
and after that, his goal was simply to drive her to madness before sexual
satisfaction. Her chest heaved as she breathed and his tongue tickled as she
felt it slide from her knees until it worked its way deeper into her inner
thighs. She began to roll her hips as she thought she might go insane. She
lifted her full breasts to her face and sucked her own nipples. January looked
up as she switched from left to right, staring down at him as she did. He
gripped the waist of her panties and dragged them off. It was time for the real
business to begin.
Slowly, he worked his tongue between her
legs until he’d licked up every bit of her wetness. He didn’t know which was
more slick, his tongue or her pussy lips. He moaned as he tasted her and the
vibration sent shivers through her body. He worked his mouth passionately,
almost as if he was kissing her mouth. She wanted to squirm away but his grip
on her thighs held her firmly in place. He sucked her clit with just the right
pressure and Juliet felt that her head might split. She couldn’t believe that
she wanted to cum already. It was too soon. He was beyond good and she fought
against it as hard as she could. She didn’t want to completely surrender, at
least not that fast. For the first time, she imagined that this was what men
went through every time they found themselves deep inside something good. Just
when she thought she would burst for sure, he backed off and looked up at her.
His lips, nose and chin were completely covered in glistening juice from her
body. Oh shit she thought as he
licked his lips. January smiled as he read exactly what she’d said in her mind
in her eyes. He winked at her mischievously before he lifted her legs back in
the air and buried his face between her thighs again. She didn’t know that he’d
only just begun.
As her clit throbbed, January slid his
tongue in between her pussy lips again but this time, he didn’t stop. She
jumped as he worked his tongue further down than she expected. Her bent her legs
so far back that she could see her own ankles and dragged her to the edge of
the couch so that her juicy ass was hanging off of it.
“Hold on,” he told her and made her hold
on to her legs.
She didn’t hesitate and couldn’t believe
that he had her bent like a pretzel on the couch. First he stared at her thick
cheeks. Nothing turned him on more than a woman with a plump ass that jiggled.
He had plans for her since he’d watched her swing her hips as she walked in
front of him. He kissed the bottom of one cheek and then the other. Then he
paused. She couldn’t see him so she wondered what he was doing. She wouldn’t
have to wait long to find out. He put pressure on her legs and bent her back a
little further. Then, he kissed her between the cheeks right before he pressed
his tongue to her ass. Her whole body shook. The sensation was strange but she
didn’t want him to stop. Her legs shook as he tickled her hole, circling the
opening with his tongue. He could tell she liked it by the way she moaned and
groaned over and over saying Oh yes.
“Want more?” he asked her.
“Oh God yes,” she answered.
January brought her legs down and
flipped her over. Now Juliet was on her knees with her breasts pressed against
the rough material of the couch. Again, he spread her cheeks and worked his
tongue against her hole. She loved it and he could tell by the way she threw
her ass back against his face. Her kitty still throbbed and as he touched it
she soaked his hand. He backed off, just to admire her bent over. She swayed
her ass from side to side as she looked back at him. He held his dick in his
hand and she could read in his eyes what he wanted to do with it. She didn’t
care. She would let him do whatever he wanted tonight. Everything was his.
“You want it?” he asked.
“Yes, give me all of it,” she whispered
back.
He swore he heard her almost purr as he
rubbed the thick tip of his dick against her pussy lips. He had to keep one
hand pressed firmly against her butt to keep her from throwing it back before
he was ready to give it to her. Then, he slipped the head in.
“More?” he asked.
“Yes,” she answered, breathless.
Slowly, he gave her the first stroke and
she swore he touched her soul. She felt every inch as he stretched her lips and
filled her up until he hit the back of her kitty kat. Once he touched her back
wall, he slowly pulled it almost all the way back out. January loved the way
her pussy looked, wrapped around his dick as he backed up. He looked down at
his shaft and saw her white cream covering it. He gripped her hips and started
to bury his dick in her pussy, over and over again. He loved the way her ass
bounced as he rocked her body back and forth. It tuned him on how she rolled it
with his rhythm. At first the strokes were slow as they felt each other’s
bodies out. When she started throwing it back harder, he knew she was ready for
more. She looked back at him and smiled as he looked back at her with his
business face. She loved it. January reached up, grabbed a fist full of her
hair and tilted her head back. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth as she
prepared for what she knew was coming next.
As he pulled her hair, his strokes
became harder and faster. She could feel him deeper than before. He went deeper
every stroke even though there was nowhere else for him to go. It hurt but not
enough for her to make him stop. She felt full as he seemed to get bigger
inside as he scraped her walls. She couldn’t believe she was getting fucked
like this. As soon as she thought it, she came. January felt her gush and squirt.
He left it inside her throbbing as she recovered from the orgasm before he got
back to work on her. When he started again, he went straight back to hard
strokes. Now, he wasn’t playing with her. There would be no teasing. He was
here to do one thing and that was to give her the business. He let go of her hair and put one hand on her hip.
The other one he used to grip her shoulder and drag her back on his dick. She
loved how strong he was. Stroke after stroke after stroke he punished her
pussy. The second orgasm came even easier for her. She wondered when he would
come.
Juliet looked back at him as he pounded
her doggy-style. She reached back and spread her cheeks with her hands. January
let spit drip from his mouth and into her butt. He used his thumb to wet it and
slowly stroke the opening. He heard her moan and knew she liked it. Before she
knew it, he had slipped a finger inside it. Then he slipped two in. She felt
nasty for letting him do it but it felt amazing to be this freaky. The feeling
was maddening as his fingers and dick worked her out at the same time. She let
go of her cheeks and turned to look at him while she stuck her fingers in her
mouth. She loved the feeling of having something in every hole. She came again.
She couldn’t take it anymore. She wanted him to cum. She was going to give him
something she felt that he deserved.
Juliet reached back and pulled his dick
out of her. She was breathing heavy and he wondered if she needed to catch her
breath. He wasn’t sure what she wanted next; at least not up until she licked
her lips mischievously.
“Give it to me,” she told him.
He didn’t hesitate.
January stared at her thick lips as she
licked them with her tongue. He could only imagine how they would feel. Juliet
took a moment to stare at his wet dick before she got right below him and
didn’t waste any time. She moaned as she tasted her own juices. Her warm mouth
was enough to make his eyes roll as she took his dick deeper into her throat
every time she rocked forward. She gasped for air as she backed off far enough
to let it fall out of her mouth. Her saliva dripped from his tip and onto her
breasts. She grabbed his thighs and tried to swallow it again. January nearly
lost his mind. He closed his eyes and held the back of her head as he listened
to her wet mouth work. She grabbed his shaft and pulled it out of her mouth
again. This time, he looked and saw the string of spit from her mouth to his
dick. She stroked it with both hands as she looked up at him.
“I’m about to cum,” he warned her.
She already knew because she could taste
it. As soon as he said it, she opened her mouth wide and wrapped her lips back
around his dick. She could feel it pulsate. She started to suck it again, this
time soft and slow. He could feel his dick throbbing in her mouth. Every time
he hit the back of her throat, he came closer to exploding. She knew it too but
she didn’t back away. He knew that she wanted him to cum in her mouth. She
moaned deeply as she tasted it and felt it. Finally, he let go. She stopped
moving her head. She let it fill her mouth before she started to suck out
whatever was left in his shaft. January nearly passed out. Finally, she took it
out of her mouth. She let the thick cream drip out of her mouth and onto her
breasts. She smiled at him with a naughty grin as she licked it back up.
“You like that huh?” she asked him.
He couldn’t speak. He only answered with
a nod.
Juliet had no regrets but a wave of
bashfulness came over her as she thought about everything she’d just done with
him. Still on her knees, she suddenly found that she couldn’t look him in the
eye and blushed as she turned her face away. January noticed this and smiled.
He got down on the floor beside her and forced her to look at him as he held
her face in his hands. She waited anxiously for him to say something to make
her feel a little less uncomfortable but he didn’t say a word. Instead, he
leaned forward and kissed her passionately until they were both breathless.
When they finally stopped, he stared at her as he played in her hair. He felt
silly and didn’t know how long the feeling would last but at that moment, he
loved her. He didn’t know why and he couldn’t believe it. His sense of logic
wrestled with his passion as he questioned whether or not it was a good idea to
get caught up because he barely knew her. He hoped that the moment would pass.
He also knew that the longer he stayed there with her, softly touching her skin
with his fingers and kissing her face was the harder it was going to be to
break the connection. He put his lips to her neck and then her collarbone. As
she held his head and pressed it against her breast, January realized that he
had been a fool because all the while he thought he was being smooth and
charming, she had trapped him in her web without him even knowing it. It felt
as if she had allowed him to believe he was the spider when he actually had
been the fly all along.
At the same time, as Juliet held him,
she knew that she played a dangerous game with this man who was basically a
stranger. It had been a long time since she’d let loose sexually with anyone.
She knew that she should have just got dressed as soon as they had finished.
The longer they lingered in the room together was the more confusing things
would become. This was exactly the type of situation where signals were easily
crossed, emotions became unclear and hearts became broken. The sex had been
great but she didn’t want to mistake her body’s sensations as true feelings for
this man. All the same, she knew that life wasn’t worth living without taking
risks. She sensed that he was wrestling with the same thoughts that she was.
She decided to do her best to keep him in the dark about what she was really
feeling for the moment. Being cautious couldn’t hurt after all of the reckless
things they’d done that night.
“What now?” she whispered.
