The scarf

The music room was dim. I sat on the sofa in the black blouse with a dark scarf folded in my lap. The cello was in the corner, far from our knees. Nico touched the scarf with two fingers. He is my partner. We had already named the word that stops everything. Tie it, he said. Lead. Let me have your voice and your hands and nothing else to look at. I kissed him with both our eyes open so he would carry a last picture into the dark. Then I covered his eyes and tied the scarf at the back of his head. Not his throat. Can you see. No. Is your breath easy. Yes. What do you say if you want it off. He said the word.

I undressed him slowly. Shirt. Belt. I am kissing your chest. I am going to stroke your cock. My hand closed around his cock and he gasped at the sudden fact of it. I teased with light strokes, then my mouth on his cock, then nothing at all. He reached and I put his hands on the cushions. They stay until I move them. I climbed into his lap, blouse open, bare under it, and rubbed my cunt against his cock without letting him fuck my cunt.

When I sank down I did it by inches and named each one. He stayed hot and careful with his hips. I move. You feel. You may touch my breasts. I put his hands there. I rode his cock and kissed his mouth. I came with a broken laugh, holding his face, and I told him not to follow even while my cunt tightened around him. He groaned and held the edge because I had asked. I lifted off, stroked his cock once, stopped, and kissed the corner of his mouth. Still good in the dark. Yes, he said. Please.

I took the scarf off before he came. I wanted the eyes. He blinked at me, wet-lashed and so plainly mine, and I stroked his cock while I looked at him and said he could finish. He came across his stomach and my wrist, shaking, saying my name like a thank-you. I had fucked him and then stopped, and the cum was mine to time. I cleaned him with a warm cloth I had set out at the start. Then I folded the scarf and put it aside where he could see it was done. We lay on the sofa. The cello kept its corner.
