Birds-eye

Birds-eye, pt 10

'We've been over this,' he answered, drawing up nearer to her. 'I will not risk my marriage. I take my vows seriously and will not break them.'
'I am not looking for that.'
'You sure? Cause all we ever gonna have is this, stolen afternoons down by the water. You sure you gonna be content with that?'
She cheered up, even if it did seem to take her some effort.
'Don't you worry. You know I got a beaux of my own.'
'A beaux? Surely, you're not talking about Jason King?'
'And what if I was? He's been living with me in my aunties mansion.
'That old ruin?'
'Hey, it's been in my family for ages. Jason is helping me fix it up.'
'Better watch that he don't fix you up. I don't like the look of that guy.'
'You don't have to like his look, I do!' she flared up. Almost immediately, she changed tacks. Her smell turned musky. 'Why, Pentecost, if I didn't know better, I'd say you was jealous.'
He gently pushed her down, rolling on top of her. 'I've got no reason to be jealous,' he smirked. With one smooth movement he took of his white ring, tossing it down in the nettles next to them and placed his mouth upon hers. 'It's just,' he said, as came up for air, 'you could do better than Jason King.' A cold spread over her face when he said that, but he didn't notice it. It was like he touched something real valuable and she wouldn't let him. So she hid it away quickly. When he looked at her, she wore a solid mask of pleasure. 'Let's talk no more of him,' she crooned. 'In fact, let's talk not at all.'

I watched them for a while, as they entangled themselves in twitchings, completely unaware of what was going on around and underneath them. She only found the snails, that were trailing up on her leg with their special kind of determination, when she was putting on her clothes. Her shriek shred through the pond. 'Pentecost Lee,' she said, accusingly, 'the next time you want to roll in the hay with me, you better take me to a decent cheap motel or you'll be rolling in the hay all by your lonesome!'
