cream all over my face, then gave me their fingers to lick. I knew exactly what Leonard wanted and started sucking him just before he let loose in my mouth. I swallowed, then rose and led my new playmates into the shower, where we got clean, and then dirty, and then clean again.
Maybe I am lucky after all.
STRIP TO MY LOU
Allison Wonderland
I tâs Saturday morning and my stomach feels sticky. On top of that, my legs feel listless, and on top of that is my husband Lou. Not only did he start without me; he finished without me, too. It isnât like Lou to be so thoughtless.
âThe early bird gets the sperm,â I grumble, rousing from slumber.
Lou laughs. âThank you for the lewd awakening, but that sticky stuff isnât mine.â Lou reaches for the plate beside my hip and punctures a flapjack with his fork. Gently, he glides the griddle cake across my middle, dabbing it in the syrup. Itâs a little like the gel I squirt on bumpy bellies when Iâm performing an ultrasound, except itâs warmer andâ¦hotter.
Lou nibbles on the fluffy batter, smacks his lips, licks the maple off my midriff. When Lou makes me breakfast in bed, well, Lou makes me breakfast in bed.
âYouâre quite the dish, Blaire,â he remarks.
âYouâre quite the sap, Lou,â I return.
He sticks a kiss on my belly button. âThank you, beautiful.â
âOh, what a beautiful morning,â I mutter, rolling my eyes. My husband calls me beautiful all the time, as if itâs my name. I pout about it, pretend itâs just a pointless, predictable platitude and when is he going to tell me something I donât know already? But the truth is, when Lou gets mushy, I get gooey, and by this point my insides feel remarkably similar to that syrup heâs slurping. I shake my head, flipping my frown like a pancake.
âThatâs the spirit,â Lou applauds, clapping my thigh. âGrin and Blaire it.â
âI suppose thatâs easier than having to grin and, uh, bare it.â
Lou smirks, shudders, shrugs. âNot really. Stripping is no different than undressing.â He nestles his chin against my navel. âThereâs nothing to it.â
I stroke his shoulder. âIâd be nervous, too,â I commiserate. âHell, Iâd be petrified.â
âI am neither nervous nor petrified,â Lou insists, but his voice resists, sounding high but not mighty.
âYou couldâve fooled me.â
âI did.â
âNo, dear, you didnât.â
âYouâre right.â I knew heâd relent. âIt scares the pants off me.â I knew heâd lament.
âThatâs the spirit,â I cheer, fisting the air. âUndress for success.â
Now before anyone starts thinking nasty thoughts, I need to point out that my husband is not a striptease artist, amateur or otherwise. Heâs a triple threat: actor, singer, dancer. A true talent, only donât tell him I said so because the man will turn redder than a spanked fanny. I donât know why my music man doesnât like to toot his own horn, although it might have somethingto do with the fact that he has me to toot it for him. (So much for not thinking nasty thoughts.)
Anyway, The Full Monty opens tonight. Itâs a musical about down-and-out steel-mill workers convinced theyâll be in the money if theyâre in the nude. Lou is one of the star strippers.
âMy diamond in the buff.â I touch his cheek. âIâm so proud of you.â I mean it, too, and he knows it, his face pink against my palm. (See, what did I tell you?) Louâs an awful lot like Bashful the dwarf, only taller. But when heâs onstage, he comes to life like Pinocchio. And, hey, as long as Lou keeps his performance anxiety confined to the theater, Iâll continue to support him a hundred percent.
âUm, tonight, at the show, I should mention⦠Well, just please
