perfume, coconuts, scentual pleasures and reading
September 12, 2008 // Posted by: la coquette // Category: fantasy, lifeI can tell you the last time I purchased perfume. Actually, I didn’t purchase it. I selected it. I received it as a gift. Christmas 2003, the luscious scent of Burberry’s Brit engulfed me. I received the perfume, shower gel and body lotion. I used every last drop.
Shall we fast forward five years? In the interim, since the Brit ran out, I haven’t bought any perfume. Yes, I’ve indulged my passion for shower gels, lotions, potions and unguents. Right now, I smell of exotic coconut. I’ve written about how it [coconut] reminds me of summer.
What I don’t think that I have written about is how scents play such an important role. We all want to smell delicious. More importantly, we want to smell delicious as we devour and are devoured by our partners. We want to invoke scentual memories and create new ones. Indeed, after being with me smelling this sweetly, this summery, I want my lover to think of me the next time the scent of coconut assails him. Then, I want all those memories of our last time together to rush into his brain, turn him on and make him crave me.
There are times when, like yesterday, when I prefer to end my day with a long hot shower. I take my time and use up nearly all of the hot water. I emerge from the shower to thick clouds of steam and the scent of exotic coconut. Indeed, the bathroom is so sticky and sweet, when opening the door and allowing the cool blast of air in, I shiver, even though I’m wrapped in towels and a thick, terry bathrobe.
I dry off and towel my hair to remove excess moisture. I pull on a pair of be-ribboned, lacy pink and black boy-shorts style knickers and an old, worn pink t-shirt. I push the excess pillows off the bed as I sprawl on my stomach at the same I reach for my book, half-unfinished, resting at the far corner. Laying on my stomach, knees bent and feet in the air with ankles crossed, I pull a pillow beneath me. I use it to prop myself up so that I can read the book.
Engrossed in the book, my mind wanders into the realms of fantasy. I think of what it would be like to be in your bed, waiting for you to arrive home from somewhere or something. Waiting for you, knowing that perhaps we might be slightly more than lovers by this point. So engrossed in the book, I wouldn’t hear the key turn in the lock, hear you call my name when you noticed my purse or your foot steps as you moved through the flat looking for me.
Imagine the happy surprise at finding me, stretched out across the bed. Imagine how I would look, cheeky panties riding up. The long, smooth lengths of my legs bent at the knees, ankles crossed. My body a flat line until reaching my upper torso propped upon the pillows. My face scrubbed clean of make-up. Only a side view visible in the mirror adjacent to the bed and my long dark hair trailing in a long line down my back, over the soft pink cotton of my t-shirt.
I often think that you would stand there, framed in the doorway for moments which would turn into minutes, drinking me in. Your mind calculating and cataloging the ways in which you might wish to defile me. You know, as soon as you apply pressure to the bed, I’ll be aware of your presence. What do to? How to go about it?
You smile as you see the white cords snaking from my ears to my iPhone. You laugh softly to yourself, now realizing why I didn’t hear your entry. You wonder what might be playing and what I am reading that has me so engrossed. A new tune pops up and I reach out and flick my finger, sending it to the next song.
Carefully, you watch. When I decide to straighten my legs, you move into action. You stalk to the bed; you slide onto it and straddle me in one quick movement. I shriek with surprise and sputter your name as I pull the ear buds from my ears by the white cords.
Embarrassed at how oblivious I was, I try to turn, making and effort to mark my spot in the book. In a soothing tone, you tell me to relax and to enjoy. You encourage me to continue reading. Bending forward, you place your nose against my neck and I hear, and feel, you inhale deeply. Your hands work at my shoulders starting to kneed the muscles, forcing them to relax.
Your hands move across my shoulders and up along my neck. Your work the muscles, forcing me to slowly loosen up, relaxing under your touch. Your finger tips slide into my still-damp locks and you work away at my scalp. My lips curve into a slightly pouty moue of displeasure as you pause to push up your sleeves.
Then your fingers return. They move over the relaxed tissues of my shoulders, down to my upper back and somewhat tenderized shoulder blades. You continue to work lower and lower, until I feel your finger tips brushing over the hint of skin where my t-shirt meets my knickers. At this point, I can feel your cock rubbing against me through the layers of your clothes. And, you have been peppering my neck and cheek with soft kisses. Words meant to tease have ignited the passion between us.
I’ve give up the pretense of reading. I’ve put my book down. A smile curves my lips as I hear you tell me how fucking edible I smell for the fourth, or is it fifth time now? Looking over into the mirror, I keep my gaze focused there until you meet mine, I reply, “Then why don’t you eat me?”
