It's that time again, boys and girls! Time for some naughty flash fiction fun! This week, Advizor54 brings us an interesting photo of a young, naked woman facing off against a well-dressed, perhaps slightly older man. Open the site in a new tab so you can trot over there once you're done here and read the other entries!
I decided not to go the normal routine (imagine that!), so the forbidden words were easily avoided. It did, however, make trouble for me using the keyword. I had to go back and make some changes to make it fit! Anyway, here's my small intro into the lives of Kira and her roommate, Paul.

“Aren’t you going to at least get dressed?”
“What’s the point?” Kira shrugged as she climbed into the
chair opposite her roommate, Paul. Her small breasts swayed with the slight
movement, and the cool breeze from the air conditioner turned her nipples into
firm points. She tucked her legs beneath her, sitting on her heels as she fished the olive from her martini. Popping it into her mouth, Kira
propped her elbow onto the polished surface and rested her chin in her palm.
“Well, you’d look less like a… um, an escort or something,
and more like my roommate!”
“An escort? You’re so old fashioned sometimes, Paul. I was
going for the bad porno look!” She picked up one of the ivory chess pieces and
twirled it in her fingers. “Besides, you’re the one who said I’ve been as bitchy
as a cat in heat, lately.”
“You have, sweetie. Snappish and petulant don’t even begin
to cover it.” He retrieved the white queen before she could slip it beneath the
table, and replaced it on the board with an exasperated sigh.
“I can’t help it! Men get all squicky when they hear I have
a male roommate, thinking I’m running around on my boyfriend or something. It’s been over a year since I’ve had
something between my legs that didn’t run on batteries! (1)”
“Or electricity.” Paul smirked, checking his watch for the
tenth time that evening.
“You have no room to talk, buster! I distinctly remember
finding you enjoying an enthusiastic fucking from my hardy little machine.”
“Yes, you did, and your oral aid was most appreciated.”
When he winked, she hid her blush in her martini. She couldn't tell him the real reason for her lack of a boyfriend. She wasn't stupid enough
to reveal her feelings for her very handsome, very attached, and very gay
roommate. The day she’d found him, the machine pumping the lubed up dildo into
his finely toned ass, Kira had been unable to resist swallowing down his
impressive erection, remaining between his quivering thighs until he filled her
mouth full of warm come. They rarely spoke of that day, but his taste, scent,
and moans had fueled her fantasies ever since.
“Cool, my stratagem worked then! Anyway, back
to my fuckbuddy. I see no point in pretending this is something it’s not. If we
all know he’s here for a hookup, why make him shell out money for a nice dinner?
Let’s just get to the fucking part and get it over with.”
“Kira.” Paul sighed, giving her one of his it’s time for a lecture looks. “Don’t
you want to at least try to have a
relationship? They’re a lot more fulfilling than these random throwaway fucks
when you get too horny to live with.”
“That’s what I have you for, Paul.” She sipped her martini,
smiling over the rim at her roommate. He was dressed for a night at the
theater – black dinner jacket, white shirt, black bowtie – and looked
impeccable. She had the sudden urge to muss his prefect hair or place a
lipstick print on his crisp collar, just to make him a bit more human. “My last
few so-called relationships turned out to be little more than just random
hookups, just with a shit-ton more hassle. I’m just dispensing with the hassle.”
“What about love? Don’t you want more than just one random
hookup after another?”
“I believe in love.”
She drained her glass, uncoiling from the chair to walk gracefully to the sink.
“Not just getting it, but giving it. I
think that if you're able to love someone, even if they don't know it, even if
they can't love you back, then it's worth it. (2)”
"Excellent."
Warm arms surrounded her waist from behind and pulled her
against a familiar, firm chest. She fought tears as she brushed her fingers
over the Pride Flag cufflinks. Another stepped between her and the sink,
wrapping her into arms equally as familiar. Anthony, Paul’s boyfriend, kissed
away her threatening tears, and then kissed her. Deeply. Paul’s hands moved
from her waist to her breasts, cupping them as he whispered in her ear.
“You did know we were bi, right?”

A paraphrase
from the movie, Serenity, spoken by
the character Kaylee Frye. Original wording is: Goin' on a year now I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on
batteries! Since I paraphrased it, I used a second.

A quote
from my most favorite movie of all time, Gosford
Park. This quote is near the end, and is spoken by a tertiary character,
Dorothy, a housemaid, to Mr. Meredith, a guest.
See now the cat is out of the bag women really do want a gay guy for their partner and a *uck buddy on the side - great Stratagem!
ReplyDeletelmao Well, I'm sure their time on the machine had nothing to do with her lusty ways XD
DeleteI really liked both quotes, excellent way to slide them in. And the gay/bi roommate is such a great fantasy come true.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I adore Gosford Park, and have watched it far more than is healthy lol It's got some great lines in it.
DeleteGot both quotes. :) I love Gosford Park and Downton Abbey, which is written by the same man. :) The story... I think it's my favourite for the day. :)
ReplyDeleteAw thank you! Part of me wanted to be evil and then this happened. I blame the bear.
DeleteWINNING!! great looking, impeccably dressed, and bi! Who needs a boyfriend when you have a roommate like that, and he brings a friend? OMGOSH, that even got me going. But it is nice when we find out new things about the people we love.
ReplyDeleteExcellent submission this week, thank you so so so much for joining in!
Thanks! These have been great fun and so challenging to make my ideas work within the word restriction. Glad you enjoyed it :)
DeleteGosford Park is not my sort of film; I was planning for a "Kick Ass" quote in mine - "Eenie, Meenie, Minnie, Mo!" But opted for Blackadder in the end - far less cultured1
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the prompt, and even better, didn't include a murder! :)
Nope, no one died! That shocked me. I usually kill someone lol Glad you liked it.
DeleteBrilliant! A Firefly quote? And Gosford Park? Yowza! I adore the scene where Helen Mirren explains why she is a good servant. I don't usually get quotes - was amazed I got them both! And such a great take! Thanks for finding something new in this photo. Happy FFF!
ReplyDeleteThank you! These are such fun and a great way to experiment with new concepts. :)
DeleteWhat a dream come true. Love the surprise gender identity thing. But, it seems to me, if she'd lived with him for any amount of time, she would have known that already. Great take, anyway. I'd definitely go in for a threesome like that - best of both worlds!
