The Summer of Clarence Pt 2
Publication and date: Lickerish Library, Sep 2023
An older woman and a younger man… coming back for more. The age-old story plays itself out against a backdrop of nighclubs, heat and darkness, and the realisation that forbidden fruit is sometimes the most delicious.
‘No need to apologise.” I go to stand-up but his thigh pins me down, while a dark figure crosses the floor from the far end of the room and sits on the other side of him. She slides a shapely hand, adorned with a large silver ring over his shoulder to brush my cheek. Her eyes smile as she puts her other hand over Clarences face, which he sucks softly. I feel my insides inflame and Clarence’s groin stiffen against me. Like clockwork, he kisses the gifted hand, licking its fingers, letting them push deep into his throat.
Alicia, who was out of sight until now, sits down next to the dark figure, who immediately turns to obliterate her face and neck with kisses. I see the two of them follow the motion of the lights, curving into each other in the dense space. Their kisses are like delicate petals that skim their mouths, leaving gushing impressions on my cousin’s face I had never expect to see there. The stranger reaches under Alicia’s leather jacket, clasping her full breasts attentively. There seem in no rush, their gliding gestures with which they intertwine their legs, becoming one with each other, melting, leaving only the stranger’s silver ring sparkling in the darkness.
