Thirst

Original Submission by Celine Ndongo

Thirst.

It’s the excitement in seeing the slow steady rise.

All that beautiful length, a sight for sore eyes.

A simple stroke to it elicits a shiver.

The texture beneath your hands; oh silk could never.

Hands on his thighs, a good grip kept in place.

Inching closer, your mouth watering for a taste.

It’s the heady feeling of having it move against your tongue. The intense eye contact that will make him come undone. It’s the satisfaction of watching him writhe as he loses control. Wiping the corner of your mouth, you know you just owned this man’s soul.
