I took a deep breath as I walked my way to the table where a man in his late-twenties sat. He has dark brown wavy hair, perfect brows, a bit of stubble and perfect jaw. He was seated like a business man in his suit and loosen tie, legs crossed while reading a book with his reading glasses. I was just guessing it was him I was looking for and as he took a sip of his coffee, I came in front of him and said, “Hi! Mister Manning?” when I got in front of him and gave him the most charming apologetic smile I could give.

“Hi. Miss Emmingfield?” he stood up and offered his palm to shake my hand.

“Yes, but please call me June,” I said as I reached out to shake his hand. His hand was warm and I’ve felt nervous all of a sudden as his warmth crept to my veins.

“Sure, I’m Phil. Please have a seat,” he went and dragged the chair for me to sit and gave me the menu, “get yourself whatever you like, please.”

“Thank you,” I said along with a sigh of nervousness.

He smiled at me and said, “don’t be nervous, I’m not going to eat you,” he paused before he continued, “at least not in public,” and gave out an innocent smile.

I smiled but I didn’t know what to say. The awkwardness became overwhelming when I caught myself thinking of another meaning to what he said. ‘Oh, dear mind!’ I thought.

I gave the waiter my order and he laid his back to the chair, crossed his legs once again and clasped his hands together, “alright,” he said, “so June, tell me about yourself. Where you came from, what you’re doing now, when you started writing, etcetera.”

“I… Uh…” I didn’t know where to start so I just blurted out stuff about me. “…I started writing just a few weeks ago, about a couple of months perhaps before I submitted you the story.”

He nodded and took a sip of his coffee before saying, “and what inspired you to write that…” he was trying to find the right word, “…interesting- No. Amazing story, I should say?”

I didn’t know what to say, I was completely speechless and torn between telling him that I experienced that and lying. “It’s… my friend’s experience.” I lied, “she told me the story the night after that and I thought that was cool and I could just use her story as a plot to my story. So… yeah, that’s it, basically.”

There was silence after I answered his question. He looked down on his coffee on the table while nodding. The waiter came for my coffee and I gave thanks.

“So, was your friend happy when she was telling you that? Was she…” he paused again finding the words to say, “glad about her experience?”

I wondered what he was trying to say but I gave up thinking about the correct answer so I just answered as I am and how I felt that night for the masked man, “she was very happy. I-My friend kept wondering when she’s going to meet him again and finally unmask his handsome face,” I caught myself smiling like a love bug just stung me while answering him and realized the last three words I’ve just said. I didn’t take it back to avoid any confusion it might cause him so I looked at his face to try find his reaction first before changing my mind.

He was staring at me not moving at all with a pair of smiling eyes. “Okay,” he finally said, “if your friend is going to meet him again, what do you think her reaction would be?”

“I’m sure she’d be very happy,” I said with no hesitation.

I’ve felt sadness run all over me right after what I said. I don’t know if I’d actually meet him again. I don’t think he recognizes me when he sees me at school and I don’t think he’d like to meet me again. I don’t know him so I don’t know where it will go even if I fell in love with that masked man. And I wish I asked his name. At least.

“What if they meet again in one of your stories?” he asked.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, you wrote a good story and for sure our readers would love a part two,” he said, “I would like you to write the second part of the story. I will publish this first book in my name for now but I will give you a contract to write the second book and I will publish that in your name. You will also get paid a reasonable amount of money as an author, not just a ghost writer.”

I was shocked and I just had no words to say after the amazing offer. I was going to say ‘yes’ but I thought, what about my studies? “I’m studying so I can’t be a-“

“Oh! That.” he raised his finger, “you can write whenever you feel like it as long as you submit it in few months time since it will just be a short story like the first one. I will keep checking on you every two weeks to check your progress and to pay you too during those times. Also, I know a perfect place near your school where you can write without distraction. I will take you there if you say yes right this moment.”

“A place?” I asked.

“Want to see it?”

“You see,” he said with eyes still nailed on the road, “I like the fact that you wrote this story based on a true story. The things you wrote, as I was reading it, made me feel that it actually happened. I should say, you are very impressive. That your first story?”

Flattered, ByCasino I said, “yes. Thank you.”

“Impressive.” nodding.

It took us a few seconds of silence before I got to tell him what I have been thinking since we started talking. “You know,” I said, “you look very familiar.”

The car came to a stop just a few blocks from the right side of the University. He got out of the car smiling and went to my side to open the door and let me out. “I should,” he smiled and took his steps towards the entrance.

The place looked very decent and clean. There were flowers outside, a proper lobby inside. Brown desks and wooden furniture all around with white cushion.

I was admiring the look of the place having a classic elegant look when a maid at her 50’s came out of the lift and greeted Phil in Spanish with a very warm recognizing smile. “Hola, Señorito! Como estas?”

“Hola, Pamela,” he said smiling at her while walking past her without stopping, “muy bien, gracias, pero-“

“Si, Señorito. No problem,” and she waved as we got into the elevator.

“Gracias. Have a great day, Pamela,” he said turning around and we heard her say okay as the lift closed.

We got in front of the room number 0420 when he took his keys from his pocket and gave me one of those without saying anything. Duplicate obviously. “I hardly come home. I just basically come to shower, get some clothes and leave again,” he said.

My jaw dropped as he opened the door. The cleanliness and organization of the place was amazing. Books, paintings, dark wood, cozy leather couch, cream colored carpet, “this is amazing!” I exclaimed, “but the curtains, I’m sure it will be brighter if you…” I turned around and saw that he looked uncomfortable, “…what’s wrong?”

“Nothing. It’s just, this is the first time I’ve let someone in here.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to rob you,” I chuckled.

“Now, that’s making me worry,” he laughed as he moved towards the kitchen.

He took two wine glasses from the rack above the counter and grabbed a bottle from his cabinet, “wine?” he asked and I said yes.

As he was opening the bottle with a cork screw I saw his muscle flex a little. ‘Ehem!’ His figure reminded me of someone I know but I just can’t point out who. Looking at him as well, I noticed that he’s tall. He’s probably 6’3″ or around that height. “6’3?” I couldn’t help but ask.

He looked at me and poured wine in the glasses, “yeah. Why?”

“Tall,” I smiled.

He handed me the glass of wine with no reaction to my compliment as I sat on the chair in the counter.

“Thanks,” I said.

“You think you can write peacefully here?” he asked as he took a sip of his wine.

“Yeah, really nice. But how did you know I needed some peaceful place to write?”

“I see you in the library a lot, doesn’t seem like you have a place to do all the studying and stuff,” he said.

“Really?” I was surprised. Now I’m sure he’s someone from the university, “are you a student in my university too?” I asked.

“Nope.”

“But what? A professor perhaps?” I tried to guess.

“It doesn’t matter. Now,” he said becoming so formal all of a sudden, “are you accepting my offer?”

I thought about it for a while before I said,”I don’t know,” I sighed and continued, “I can’t think of a story.”

“Have you had sex recently?” this question made my eyes pop and the wine almost went the wrong way as I swallowed it, “look,” he continued, “if you didn’t, just imagine how you’d like sex to happen.”

He stared at me for a while before he started talking again, “I see. You haven’t,” he emptied his glass by drinking the rest of his wine.

“What? N-no… I-I…” I wanted to not feel embarrassed about my sex life. For crying out loud! It’s not because men don’t like me, I just don’t do it with just anyone.

“Yes?” He asked and I just felt like anything I say would still embarrass me. He put his glass down to the side and leaned on the counter with his arms crossed. “Why not, June?”

My heart just started beating fast when I saw his lips move. He’s too close. Too fucking close! “I see,” he said, assuming, “you’re afraid of men.”

“No,” I insisted, “I just don’t do it with just anyone. It’s just not… my thing.” I said shyly.

He smiled as if he was satisfied with my answer and nodded while his head was down, “rare,” he said looking up, “you’re interesting,” showing his smirk again.

I got so uncomfortable and felt like I needed some air. I emptied my glass of wine and started getting up to leave and say good-bye but he grabbed my hand.

I was going to protest but he talked and said, “I’m sorry I offended you.”

I’ve felt guilt. To be honest, I know he wanted me to be myself. To show my true feelings and to write the side of me that I couldn’t just show to people, he wanted me to be open to him so we can work well together. I was not ‘offended’, I was… caught.

“No, I… You didn’t. I just think it’s too overwhelming… I guess,” I said doubtful of my words.

“I’d be willing to help you in anyway I could,” By Casino his face was so sincere it made me regret standing up feeling so uncomfortable and him letting go of my hand made me feel somehow disappointed. “But first, you have to open up to me and show me your true self so we can work together and I can coach you,” he continued.

“All right,” I said, “I will try my best to write.”

He smiled, “Thank you.”

On that day, my classes ended at exactly 2:00PM and I just felt like I’m going to get heat exhausted so I hurried back to the dorm for a shower before I leave to Phil’s place and start writing. I was in a hurry to get freshened up so I opened the door and let myself in straight away when I saw Thea on top of Tim as I turn around, riding him like a skilled cowgirl. Tim was moaning in pleasure with his left hand to her waist and his right to her breast.

“I’m sorry to disturb you, guys..?” I said sarcastically not moving from where I was standing when I saw them, still in shock but more like pretty annoyed by the sight.

Tim got surprised by my presence but Thea just laughed after a quick jump. “Hey, June!” she greeted awkwardly panting but gained back her composure and continued, “want to join the fun?” slightly getting off of Tim to show me his junk. Tim was smiling at what Thea did. Ugh! Jesus, marry me.

“No, thanks. I have to go,” I shook my head in disbelief. I took one of my casual dresses I usually wear at school, my laptop and phone and chucked it all in the bag as I was leaving.

I sent Phil a message asking his permission for me to go to his apartment:

“Hey, can’t be in my place. Can I go write at your place instead?”

I waited only two minutes before I got his reply:

“No need to ask :)”

And that was all he said so I went ahead.

First thing I did was take my laptop out of my bag and placed it on the table when I get there before going into the shower. Surely I can use his shower.

I was enjoying the cold water running all over my body when I heard something click but I thought that’s maybe just nothing. Still I hurried up to check what was that out of curiosity. I wrapped myself in a Phil’s towel, came out of the shower and was going to start putting my underwear on but couldn’t find my panties. “Shit, where are you?” I asked myself as I bent down, “on the floor? Oh God. Not now.”

“Woah!” Phil exclaimed after seeing my ass as he walked in and I was bent down looking for my panties.

I was caught by surprise, I stood up and shouted, “Oh, fuck,” holding on to the towel wrapped around me as if my arms could add an extra layer of cover to my body. I didn’t know what to do neither does Phil.

“Shit! Sorry, I didn’t mean to,” he apologized quickly but not knowing where to look and what to do.

I noticed that he was in a very awkward position as I am so I tried to calm down and apologize for using his shower, “I-I’m sorry too. I was going to tell you later, I-I didn’t know you’re coming here too early, I thought-“

“No,” cutting me off, “it’s okay. You can use whatever there is in my apartment. I’m sorry I didn’t let you know I was coming. I just thought I’d get some clothes for tomorrow.”

“Oh.. You’re not going to sleep here? A date perhaps?” I asked trying to get to a different subject and trying to act normal.

“I don’t have someone to date, I have a lot of things to do,” he explained.

“Okay. Sorry, I-I’m just gonna-“

“Get dressed, I’ll just get my stuff later when you’re done.” then he left the room.

The thought of him being so polite like that even after seeing my cunt and my ass made me glad, but the thought of him being calm like that as he was leaving me got me self-conscious. Am I ugly? I’ve just taken a shower, almost naked, ass up for him to just grab and rape me but no? Ugh…

I’ve put on my bra and just didn’t try look for my undies since it’s nowhere to be found. I’ve put on my dress and act like nothing happened when I came out of the room. I got to the lounge and saw him in the kitchen drinking some whiskey.

Phil is handsome. No, he’s perfect. Tall, tanned skin, dark-brown wavy hair, perfect jaw line, bit of stubble, beautiful eyebrows, green eyes, clear complexion and his built is in between athletic and muscular. He’s sexy. He’s a very very attractive man and the more I look at him, the more I get to notice that. No, captivated by that.

“Finished,” I said shyly and smiled at him catching him surprised of my presence.

“Okay,” he smiled quickly and went to his bedroom.

I have always wondered what men think of me. I’ve always wondered if someone would actually be seduced by me. That time, I thought maybe I should try. I want to seduce this man and prove to myself that I’m not ugly. But what about the masked man? He doesn’t know it’s me who slept with him, right? Ugh! He wouldn’t know.

I went to where the table is and my laptop was there waiting to get tapped. But what will I write? I thought about my encounter with Thea and Tim having sex, but I thought, nah. Seriously, Thea is my friend, By Casino Giriş but her idea of sex like threesomes and BDSM is just not my type and if it doesn’t arouse me, how could it even get through my readers just like what happened with me and the masked man?

My thoughts were stopped by Phil’s fresh presence in the room. He already showered and had the towel I used wrapped around his waist and walked past me to go to the kitchen and get his whiskey. God, he smells really good. As he walked past me back to his bedroom, I don’t know what got into me but I just suddenly asked, “am I ugly?” I have felt my cheeks burn in embarrassment. I feel like my mouth was possessed!

Phil stopped just right behind me and asked me back, “why?”

“I.. I don’t know. I just think maybe I’m not beau-“

“You are,” I heard him say. But I didn’t see his next move coming. I could hardly move. He touched my shoulder with his fingers before whispering to my ear the words, “I’m trying so hard to stop myself…”

I didn’t know what to do. I got chills running down my spine and I was speechless as I turned around and saw his lips not even an inch away from mine. His breath was warm and smelt of dry whiskey. He was staring at me as if he was waiting for me to make the first move.

“What?” I asked, not fully understanding what he was saying.

“You’re beautiful, June. So beautiful that I can’t help myself but want to hold you again,” he whispered.

“Again?” I asked softly.

Instead of answering my question, he kissed the side of my lips and touched my neck. God it felt so good as if I was longing for that my whole life. His warmth.

He kissed me some more, slowly until it got faster, then I felt his tongue reaching, searching for mine. I kissed him back. Everything was so familiar like coming back home after being away for a very long time. His left hand grabbed my hair back to keep me steady on kissing him while his right hand moved from my neck to my breast. He let his hand in to my dress, caressing my breast slightly while rubbing my nipple. I’ve felt the need to have him right that moment. I want his warm hands to touch every inch of me and take me to the edge. At that moment, I have felt my pussy long for his hard member.

I held his neck steady not wanting him to ever pull back from kissing me while giving my body so much pleasure. My right hand crawled from his chest down to his firm abdomen to his crotch. I undid the towel, threw it on the side and grabbed his hard cock. It was hard and it felt like it wanted to be inside me already after I felt his pre-cum.

I started sliding my hand slowly up and down trying to give him the same amount of pleasure he was giving me. I felt his kisses wanting more. I took his hand off of my boob and put it on my now went cunt. “Touch me,” I said.

He started rubbing my clit so I spread my legs open even wider. “No panties, huh?” he teased.

“Couldn’t find it, lucky you,” I said smilingly in between kisses.

He smiled as he played with my pussy and I played with his dick. I moaned a lot because of how much pleasure he was giving me, he was very skilled at it. I raised my left leg up to the table so he can touch me even better. I came twice during those times he was touching me so I took the initiative to kneel and give him a blow. He moaned and I felt him twitch when I do something different.

I played and sucked his balls and licked them from the bottom to the tip of its head. He came suddenly in my mouth and after that I said laughing, “Oops!” as I try to finish sucking his juices. He pulled me up to the table as soon as he finished and knelt down to give my pussy a long wet kiss. He ate my cunt and fucked me with his skillful tongue. It was so good, I couldn’t hold it anymore, I want him inside me so I pulled his face to mine. I kissed him and commanded him, “fuck me now.”

He slid his dick in my pussy and started thrusting in and out. He held my legs wide open and then placed them on his shoulders. The pleasure he was giving me was out of this world and I felt as if I was going crazy over the sensation I was having. He grabbed my hips and started pumping in and out of me as hard as he could. My tits were bouncing up and down from the roughness of our sex. He was enjoying it. I can see from his face that he loved it. He was blushing and his eyes were like eyes of a drugged person. Ecstasy -that’s what we both feel. I came a few times before I felt him build up his orgasm. As soon as he noticed that I noticed, he stopped and put my legs down. “Turn around,” he said.

I turned my back on him and he pushed me softly on the table and spread my legs wide open. I was going to get myself more comfortable but I felt him come in and pumped like he doesn’t care. He grabbed my hair back and trying to squeeze my ass open to let himself get even deeper inside me. “Oh!” I shouted as I felt him get big inside me as he thrust in and out. Rough! All of a sudden, the quite apartment was filled with my cry begging him not to stop and just keep filling me up. I came a lot of times until he reached his orgasm and filled my cunt with his juices. He was moaning so loud. I moaned so much as well when I felt his dick unload some more and his juices overflow. He then tried to slow down and gave me soft kisses on my lips, my shoulders and neck before letting me go.

Author’s Note:

This is NOT the kind of Part 7 that is designed to stand alone. You will be very lost without having read the first six parts.

This is also the final chapter of the series. Fair warning, it is a long one.

Please remember that this story is set in 2018, which was the present back when I started writing it.

As always, many thanks to EGRI, Echo, and everybody else who has been supportive.

General updates about what I’m working on can be found on my author profile.

Ignore the Warning Label

Part 7

I love Office Space. I thought it was hilarious when I first saw the movie in high school, but I didn’t fully appreciate it until I joined the working world. My daily frustrations include different buzz words — sprint planning meetings and JIRA tickets rather than memos and TPS reports — but it still totally resonates with me.

There’s one line from the movie that perfectly describes what the days after moving in with Malcolm were like. It’s the scene where the initially overstressed main character comes into work completely relaxed, and describes his amazing weekend on the couch. “I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I ever thought it could be.”

That’s pretty much what happened that first week. Nothing. We brought a load of clothes over from my place, made plans to rent a U-Haul at some point in the future for the rest of my crap, sat around on the couch, went to and from work and school, and just generally did nothing while in each other’s presence. It was absolutely amazing!

The whole time, it just felt completely natural. Like, having all the time in the world to be together freed us to waste some of it lazing around.

Looking back, something shifted in our friendship after we started having sex. Every time we were together after that, it felt like there was a pressure. Some kind of subconscious need to squeeze the most we could out of every minute. It led us to pack our weekend dates full of activities, without leaving much decompression time to sit back and chill like we’d done so often during our lives before.

Which isn’t to say it was a bad thing. We had a ton of fantastic dates! Still, it was kind of exhausting, and the week of nothing was a relief for both of us from a pressure we hadn’t even realized we’d been feeling.

At least, that’s the way I tried to describe it to Nicole when she wanted to hear about all the fun and exciting adventures I’d had since leaving her behind in Jersey City to go and become a Brooklynite. I don’t know, I thought it was kind of romantic, bonding with Malcolm in a returning-to-our-roots sort of way. Somehow, that didn’t resonate with her.

“What do you mean nothing was everything you ever thought it could be!?” None of Nicole’s incredulity was lost over video chat.

“It’s a thing from a movie—”

“You mean you went all the way to fucking Brooklyn, the most happening place for hundreds of miles in any direction, just to sit on the couch and vegetate?”

“It’s not like that at all!” I protested. “Don’t tell me you’ve never wanted some low-key downtime with Sam.”

“Of course! It’s great, especially after getting back to the campsite after a hike, or after getting laid, or after getting home from a show or something.” Nicole gestured pointedly each time she said ‘after’. “Seeing a theme here?”

“Oh, come on. You’ve come to my place plenty of times just to drink and chill.”

“That’s different!”

“How?”

“Adding beer makes it a party.” Nicole said, so matter-of-factly I had to laugh. There was a moment of silence, Nicole’s eyes darting around the camera in a way that had to mean she was doing something on her computer.

‘Anybody else and it could be innocent… but this is Nicole, the crazy lady who invited herself to my house a mere few days after Malcolm introduced us.’

“What are you plotting?” I asked.

“Don’t ask as if you don’t know,” she said with a sassy grin. “Sam and I will be over there in a few hours. Have you ever been to Insa?”

That’s pretty much what conversations with Nicole were like — like she was sprinting ahead and everybody else needed to catch up. She hadn’t explicitly asked, but we both knew it would be perfectly fine for me to turn her down. Still, I didn’t want too. She was right, it had been a while, and it was probably time to do something more social than going through the motions at work. “No, I’ve never heard of it. Is that a restaurant or something?” At that moment, Sam wandered into frame in the background. She smiled in the camera’s direction and waved. “Wait, does Sam even know you’ve just invited both of yourselves over?”

“She probably expected it when I told her we were talking,” Nicole said, then called over her shoulder. “Hey! You’re taking a break from wedding planning tonight.” Sam responded with some colorful words about being the only one putting any work into planning their wedding, to which Nicole rolled her eyes and pointed otele gelen escort out that was because Sam didn’t trust her with any of the details.

Malcolm wasn’t surprised in the slightest to learn we’d been conscripted into dinner plans. He just smiled and reflected that at least Nicole had given us a few hours warning instead of just banging down our door. I still wasn’t quite used to the language shift, and hearing him call it ‘our’ door gave me a little surge of happiness.

In truth, saying we’d done completely nothing was a bit of an exaggeration. Quietly, stealthily, we’d been feeling each other out. We’d never been quite the Oscar-and-Felix Odd Couple style extreme polar opposites, but it’s pretty inescapable that my love of chaos and his general organization would collide. So far, we’d headed off the problem. We’d decided that the dining room table would be my empire, to do with whatever I wanted, and we’d eat our meals from the kitchen-side bar area instead. I thought it was working out well so far. It was hard, but I’d really made an effort to keep the rest of our shared spaces the way Malcolm liked them. Little things, like keeping the bedroom floor clear of the dirty laundry than I was used to dumping on it when I lived alone, made Malcolm smile whenever he caught me putting things in the hamper.

We’d also had completely plain, non-kinky vanilla sex for the first time. I’m not sure if that’s a BDSM couple milestone, but it felt significant. Like, validating that we could put the cuffs and gag away for a little bit and just enjoy some classic cowgirl fucking.

Of course, two nights later, we’d swung completely the other direction and added some new trophies to my collection of pictures of the marks Malcolm has given me. They were pretty impressive, though I say so myself, bold red streaks across my thighs that were still a little tender to the touch. They would probably have healed already, but I kept touching them, enjoying the way the sensation flared up and reminded me of Malcolm giving them to me.

“Insa, you said the name was?” Malcolm said from behind his laptop screen.

“Yeah. Seeing anything good?”

“Yeah, Korean barbeque with good ratings… Not the closest choice in the world, though. We’ll probably have to take an Uber.” He paused, clicking around for a few seconds, then looked up at me at the same time as my phone vibrated with a new text alert. “It says here they’ve got karaoke. You don’t think…” he trailed off, reading the text I held up for him.

Nicole: Btw were getting a crew together and doing karaoke afterwards

Nicole: I was going to keep it as a surprise, but Sam made me warn you

“You know what, that’s on me,” Malcolm said with a laugh. “It was wrong of me to doubt Nicole and her complete lack of restraint.

———-

“So, I’m gonna start off today with a little bit of phthalo blue. We’ll use the ol’ two-inch brush. Grab a touch of the midnight black also — phthalo blue and midnight black, just gonna mix them together on the brush. And let’s go up here, and just using our little crisscross strokes, let’s just drop in a happy little sky.”

Vivian focused intently on the screen, where Bob Ross was calling shades of blue sky into being, then rushed to figure out which of the handles in front of her was for the two-inch brush. It should have been easy, that was the biggest one in the set, but they were all jumbled together in her cup. By the time she’d found it and produced the proper mix of colors, Bob had already moved past the sky and was on the bottom of the canvas creating water. His trademark calm, mesmerizing speech contrasted sharply with the speed he painted at; his almost lazy appearing brush strokes deceptively masking how deliberate and practiced they were.

David helpfully paused the video.

“Thanks,” Vivian said, still trying to catch up mirroring Bob’s crisscross brush stroke pattern in the sky.

“No problem,” he said from somewhere behind her, then paused to consider her progress. “You’ve still got a lot of paint on the brush, try putting a bit more of it up towards the top.” As she worked her way down, the layer of white she’d put on the canvas started mixing with the blue, creating lighter and lighter shades. The way it faded going downwards, it really did create a bit of depth to the sky, like it was stretching off into the distance.

“Try to flow with it,” David added encouragingly, setting the remote by her side, “it doesn’t matter if it turns out good or bad, just try to remember what strokes with the brushes made what effects.”

“Right.”

According to David, art was far more about being able to see something than it was about mechanical skill with a brush. Unless you could really see it, no amount of skill would help transferring the image to paint, or charcoal, or whatever medium. The mechanical skill was important, but it wasn’t what would hold her back.

Apparently, it was kind of like speaking. mecidiyeköy escort Nobody ever thought about the mechanics of opening their mouths and moving their tongues to create each individual sound for each word they spoke. They imagined a sentence, then they said it. Musicians did something similar when they progressed to mastery of their instruments. Guitar players stopped thinking of how to arrange their hands to produce notes, and simply imagined the melodies they wanted to play. Without having something to say or a song to play, the mechanics of how to make sounds were useless.

Vivian had thought she could see just fine, but it turned out there was a world of difference between looking at something and actually seeing it, and she had a lot to learn. According to David, it was very hard to teach, but it would come with experience. On the other hand, the ins and outs of paints and brushes were a lot easier to teach, so that’s what he’d been doing with her. He’d taken her through a variety sampler of different styles, so she could get experience with each and figure out which she wanted to delve into more. Bob Ross’s trademark wet-on-wet style was the most recent.

“I thought we were both going to do this together?” Vivian said, her voice raising at the end to form a question. David had set up a second canvas for himself right next to Vivian’s, but he’d shifted off to the side a bit at the last second before starting the episode of The Joy Of Painting.

“We were, but then I had a better idea.” David grinned at her around the edge of his setup before ducking back behind it. From her angle, she couldn’t see what he was working on. Whatever it was, it seemed to involve replacing the canvas with a sheet of paper and setting to it with a variety of pencils.

She resumed the video and set back to learning. Following Bob Ross’s lead, she was astonished by how well basic strokes and colors turned into recognizable, and often detailed looking shapes. Going feather-light on the painting knife spreading titanium-white down the slope of the mountain she’d painted created a snow-like layer with a lot of holes in it. Up close, it didn’t look like anything, but from a step back, it looked like an incredibly detailed mountainside covered in snow with sections of rock poking through.

Throughout the process, Bob’s reassuringly calm voice kept up a steady monolog of encouragement, with a lot of deep philosophical stuff laced in. He framed new elements in an odd way, saying things like: “Decide where your mountain lives in your world.” “You need the dark in order to show light.” And “In your own world, you can create any illusion that you want. I think that’s what attracted me to painting, I can create any kind of world that I wanted. Nobody is unhappy, it’s a pleasant place. Everything is nice here.”

It almost felt like Bob Ross snuck those bits in, and they gave Vivian something to think about during her frequent pauses to catch up. He framed the entire process of painting like the artist was a god creating an entire world on the canvas, and everything that happened there was within their control. Maybe David felt that same sense of power and control when he was being creative?

When the episode ended, Vivian’s painting didn’t look half bad. It was very different than what Bob’s guide painting looked like, all the proportions were different and Vivian had messed up mixing some of the colors, but what she’d made legitimately looked like a landscape!

Proudly, she spun to show what she’d done to David, but he stopped her with a quick word. “Hold still! No, go back the way you were facing.”

She did, wondering what was going on and trying to remember just how she’d been sitting before. Had it been her left or right leg she’d had bent under herself? Probably right?

It took her a full minute of listening to his pencils scratching away beside her to realize that he was drawing her. Instantly, her cheeks flushed red, and she nearly hid her face in her hands. If anybody had asked, Vivian would probably have put herself right at the top of a list of the world’s least likely people to ever get into modeling. It was right at the intersection of two improbabilities — somebody, for some reason, wanting her to model for them, and her being brave enough to do it.

Anybody else, even one of her former masters, and embarrassment probably would have gotten the best of her. But it was different with David. She’d seen him draw lots of other people before, and that made this feel like it wasn’t such a big deal. Still, the command to keep still proved to be difficult. As soon as he said it, her nose started to itch, and she had to fight down the urge to fidget.

“Could you shift your hair a bit? Back around your ear?” David asked, and Vivian hurriedly complied, trying to straighten her hair with her fingers as she did and wishing she’d done a more thorough job combing it that morning. “Hmm,” David quietly mused. “Not quite.”

He stepped out from behind türkmen escort his paper and started adjusting Vivian, softly but firmly guiding her body with his hands into the position he wanted. Turns out it had been her other leg. “Most people straighten themselves up when they’re taking pictures,” he said as he gave her a little bit of slouch. “You were more natural. Like this.” David moved back and forth, positioning her arms and clothes, stepping back and looking from different angles, then trying something different. “Now, your hair. Maybe we take some liberties there…” He trailed off, his hands now running through Vivian’s hair. Deliberately, he gathered some of it between his fingers, and Vivian felt the tugging and positioning that went along with getting a braid.

“You really do dabble in everything,” she said, impressed to discover hair styling was another of his skills, then added, “would you like it if I wore it like that more?”

“It’s nice when you give yourself a braid, but keep it for special occasions.”

“Like getting a portrait done?”

“Exactly.” He worked quickly, gathering and winding her hair into shape and letting it fall over her shoulder.

The whole time David’s hands were on her, Vivian was struck by how confident he felt. He’d manipulated her body with the same sense of rightness and ownership she’d come to expect from dominants. It was the first time she’d felt that from him, and it filled her with hopeful warmth. Maybe it was because he was in his comfort zone setting up someone to draw?

Surprisingly, Vivian found herself starting to like the feeling of being the model. Maybe it was a form of confirmation bias brought on from the change she sensed in David, but it was starting to make her feel submissive. Keeping still for him in the pose he’d picked felt a little bit like being tied up, except that she needed to focus on holding still and being obedient for him, which pushed her submissive button even more. She sat just like she had been, facing her painting but no longer seeing it at all. Knowing his eyes were on her made her imagine she could feel them like a physical presence, focusing and sending little ghostly flickers across her skin.

“You don’t have to hold yourself rigid like a statue,” David said, helpfully. “You can play with your phone or something, just try to keep that same general pose.”

“Oh. Okay.”

That kind of broke the bondage analogy a bit, but it still left Vivian feeling charged inside. She brought her phone out, but kept getting distracted from texting with Nicole about plans for dinner. Kinky daydreams floated across her mind’s eye of how her position could be changed to make David’s picture more exciting. Daydreams that mostly involved more rope restraints and less clothes, which both surprised and excited her. With just a bit of assertiveness, David had transformed her from a shy girl with an instinct for keeping her skin covered to actively imaging nude modeling for him. It made her smile and blush slightly, tingles teasing across her skin in the intimate places she wished were uncovered right now.

It went on for a while, David’s pencils scratching away and Vivian struggling to stop herself from squirming into her chair to scratch the itch growing inside her. Occasionally, he’d give her a new instruction, or get up to shift one of the lights around them, which only intensified her fantasies and built her arousal. Without Nicole’s texting banter about forcing Devyn out of the house to distract her, Vivian would have been a complete wet mess by the time David finished.

“Would you like to see it?” David finally asked, putting a hand on her shoulder and making Vivian jump slightly.

“Of course!”

David’s portrait of her was not what Vivian had expected at all. It was beautiful, showing her form far more prettily than she thought of herself, and amazingly detailed for how quickly he’d done it. There were none of the smudges and eraser marks that had plagued her own pencil drawing lessons, and his shading made the black and white seem completely lifelike.

It was her, right down to the slightly embarrassed look she’d had when she realized what he was doing, yet somehow still capturing in her smile how she’d ended up enjoying it. This was how he saw her, as very pretty young woman who appeared friendly and bright. He had seen her completely, and captured her perfectly on paper.

“I did your face last,” David said. “I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it because your expression kept shifting. You were really focusing while you were painting, but then you got this cute embarrassed happy look. But then you kept snickering at your phone. What was that all about, by the way?”

“Nicole — you don’t know her yet, but she’s another friend — she was gossiping about Devyn and Malcolm and inviting us to go out with all of them tonight.”

“Oh, cool. That sounds like fun. Where are we going?”

“Brooklyn. Apparently, we’re doing dinner, and we have to think of a few songs to sing for karaoke.”

David laughed at the way Vivian’s voice gushed with excitement. “I’m guessing you’re not like most people. Most people hear that and panic about having to think of just one song they can perform well enough for a crowd, but I’m guessing you have the opposite problem.”
