You look nineteen but you say your parents died so long ago you don’t remember them, you’ve been all over the world, you eat nothing, you disappear at odd hours and then come back from nowhere, your eyes glow in the dark. I can feel the orgasm coming for you before you do yourself, the tension in your pelvis building up to a crest, so I’m ready when you begin thrusting violently against my face and crying out, your pleasure making me thrill inside at the fact that I’m giving it to you. To be able to be out in the day, with all my strength, free to do as I wanted! Let me undress you. Now come up to bed. I thought back to Da and his woman and how he never even mentioned Mam anymore.
