Seventeen

It’s a dim stipple memory, dark maroon in the backseat-upholstery not-quite-un-comfortable positioning of back against bench, a worn denim reminder of the seam of my jeans rubbing justthere… in the aftermath of hurried teenage date-night car sex.

My body saying, Feel this.

And while I didn’t know just what it was that I was feeling, I knew that it was pleasureful.

After that, I learned to listen for my heartbeat inside the pink nub at the crown of my center-thighs. I learned to make it race there and heard the call of heat when it thundered its lightning storm that soaked my slit.

For some reason, I am able to take quick clicks of my pajamas and I do just fine capturing the ‘festive essence’ of when the point is to show off my Christmas sweaters, but seriously! When I am intentionally trying to take a photo that {1} includes clothing (I know, I know… from the photos on my blog, I’m sure it sometimes seems as though I rarely wear any but I DO), and {2} demonstrates what the item of clothing itself looks like…

Aaaarrrrgh!

: laugh :

I mean, I learned that already when I was trying to show you my pink sweater the other day.

But still.

ARGH

Anywhoo…

I tried.

And this was the result:
