“It feels like she’s trying to slit my throat with her eyes.”
Skillfully, I turn us, so my body obscures her view.
But Dee still says, “She’s very beautiful—like a Victoria’s Secret model.”
“Baby, she doesn’t hold a candle to you.”
She stops dancing. Fully. Immediately. And her face—her gorgeous face is a mixture of hurt and doubt . . . and a trace of resentment.
“Don’t do that.”
“Don’t do what?”
“Don’t feed me a line like I’m a girl you just met in a bar. Tell me you hate her, or tell me you want to f**k her brains out, and either way, I’ll deal. Whatever you say, just . . . mean it. Be here with me . . . be real.”
She’s right. Right on the money. Reflexes are a body’s reaction without input from the brain. They happen independently—without thought or consideration. Insecurity is not something I’m used to hearing from Dee. And I sure as shit don’t want to keep talking about Rosaline, so I said the first thing that came to my lips. Without thinking.
Without meaning it.
And she deserves better than that.
“I . . . I’m sorry.” I pull her back to me, and we’re dancing again, slower than before.
Dee rests her cheek against mine, and I kiss the shell of her ear before whispering, “What I meant to say was, she’s beautiful—but only on the outside. You, on the other hand . . . you’re like a diamond. Clear . . . and flawless . . . through and through.”
She tilts her head up to look at me. And she’s smiling again. And I feel like a master of the universe.
“I like that much better.”
I brush my hand up her arm, over her shoulder, under her hair to the back of her neck. Then I kiss her softly. Tenderly. I worship her lips, venerate her tongue. It’s wet and wonderful—the kind of kiss that makes you forget you’re in a public place—or if you do remember, that makes you not give a flying f**k.
When the music and the kiss end, Delores licks her lips. “Let’s get out of here.”
“Great idea.”
When we get back to my apartment, Delores takes off her heels, dropping each one with a thud as she walks straight to the stereo system.
“Do you want some wine?” I ask.
Her eyes rake over me appreciatively. “I’m not thirsty for wine.”
As she plays with the buttons, I press up behind her, skimming my lips across her neck and my fingers up her sides. The speakers come alive with “Demons” by Imagine Dragons. Dee presses the REPEAT button and swivels her ass against me.
“I like this song,” she says.
“I like this dress.”
She turns to face me. And her breath tickles my ear as she whispers, “You’re going to like what’s underneath it a lot more.”
She drags my jacket off my arms and drops it on the floor. I take her mouth, and she makes quick work of my shirt. Her hands glide over my chest as she backs me up, wordlessly guiding me to the couch. I sit back, expecting her to follow me down.
But she doesn’t. Instead she stands up.
And the heat in her eyes—the hunger—makes my heart pound. She retrieves my camera from the coffee table, then she kneels between my spread knees, presenting it to me, like an offering.
“Take my picture, Matthew.”
I breathe heavy—almost a grunt. And my c**k aches with anticipation. Of watching her, touching her, and yes, photographing her.
On some level, every guy wants to be a  p**n  star. I mean, really, can you conceive of a more awesome way to make a living? Disneyland may be the happiest place on earth, but Silicone Valley is the place men’s wishes come true. Homemade sex tapes and photographs allow men—and women—to taste that fantasy. To reminisce and relive the most erotic experiences of their lives.
If that’s too wild for your tastes, you may want to skip this next part.
Dee smiles when I take the camera from her hands. I double-check the film and the battery while she stands up and sways her hips in time with the music. Her eyes close, her head rocks side to side, her shiny, strawberry-blond locks fan out around her as she spins.
And she looks so . . . free. So beautifully unrestrained.
It takes my breath away.
I capture the moment with eager hands. Click, click, click goes the shutter.
She reaches behind her, pressing her tits forward, releasing the zipper on her dress. Unhurriedly, she peels it off her body. Revealing a sheer, black, strapless bra trimmed in bright blue with a matching thong. Her br**sts are firm and high and completely visible through the shadowy fabric—including my favorite plaything, Dee’s sparkling diamond nipple piercing.
Her dress lays forgotten on the floor as she gyrates and turns. I lick my suddenly dry lips, refocus the lens of the camera, and shoot.
Click, click.
Delores’s hands slide down her thighs then skim up her stomach, cupping her br**sts the way I want to. My fingers twitch and I grip the camera tighter.
Click, click.
My voice is rough as I say, “Come here, Dee.”
And miraculously, she actually does. The moment she steps close enough, I pull her down on top of me, one hand fisting in her hair, the other kneading her smooth, tight ass.
She moans against my lips. Then her hands fumble with my belt, pushing my pants and boxers down in one fell swoop. Taking her—and the camera—with me, I slide from the couch to my knees, then down onto the floor. The fabric of Dee’s lingerie feels whisper soft against my straining cock—but not as soft as her skin.
