Smarting, it made the pain as sharp as the moment he left, but she knew there was no wound so deep that time and the acrid smell of photographic chemicals could not heal it. The image began to appear with the motion of the sweeping hand of the timer. Holding a corner of the tray with tongs, she rocked the infant image in its bath. Without taking her eyes off the freshly formed photograph, she silenced the annoying buzzer which had begun to sound. The tongs slipped beneath the surface of the developer and emerged clutching a print of stained, crumpled sheets. In black and white, the carrot stains resembled blood, but the peels peeking out from among the folds testified that there d been no violence creating the marks. After most of the developer dripping off of the print had returned itself to the tray, the woman plunged the picture of her sheets into the stop bath. Thirty seconds. In those thirty seconds, she closed her eyes and dim red light became a golden halo filtering through a blindfold. She felt again the stretch in her arms and shoulders, tied to the bed. Her hair fell low on her back as she remembered. Her head snapped up to the renewed buzzing, and she dipped her tongs in again, pulling her treasure from its vinegary haven. She held it high in the air, watching the ruby drops trickle back into the tray. Giving it a quick shake, she slid the image underneath the surface of the fix. She could turn on the lights now, but instead she slid to the floor. A slightly open cabinet door made a thudding sound as her descent closed it. Her arms stretched above her head, mimicking the pose of her memory. The hurt inside her escaped as a faint keening, quickly bitten off. She lowered her hands to cup her breasts, rubbing her palms over her shirt, making her nipples rise to meet them. Her fingers kneaded the tender flesh almost violently and her face contorted around twin tears. She recalled the cool air on her smooth, naked flesh and the breathless anticipation she d felt hearing her lover move about the house. She d rubbed her thighs together and gently tested the bonds that held her to the bed. Remembering, she pushed her lips out and breathed hard, as she d done then. Her hands stroked her ribcage, as they had been unable to do in the time that she was reliving. His weight on the bed had been enough to tear a moan from her lips, so excited had she been. She could feel the impression of a knee on either side of her hips, and felt the heat from his inner thighs, yet still he did not touch her. She d felt his weight shift to one side, then back centered above her. Squirming a little, she d brought one leg into contact with his thigh. She d been forced to inhale deeply by his low laugh. The tears tumbled off of her chin, and one hand pressed hard into the thin fabric at the crotch of her shorts. Short breaths hissed from her mouth, and her head thudded repeatedly into the wood of the cabinet door. The hissing sound in her mind had not yet been coupled with her anguish, and she remembered wondering what had made it and what the cool wetness that had fallen on her neck was. Another coolness fell down the center of her chest, even as the first one warmed. Cold, wet strip had followed cold, wet strip, and still she was mystified, unable to see what was causing that delicious sensation. Again his weight had shifted, and his hands had fallen next to her shoulders as his lips joined with hers. One of his enormous hands had tangled into the hair at the nape of her neck, cupping and stroking in time with his kisses until she thought she d go mad, until her hips arched and sought his. Her hands found their way into her hair, but were not as gentle as his had been, pulling hard until she could almost convince herself that the only pain she felt was physical. She smeared one hand from her chin to her forehead, leaving a trail of lipstick on her nose, cheeks and brow. The hand came away and she slapped herself, hard, but she could not stop the memory. She recalled the way he d backed slowly down her body, his mouth close enough to leave a warm trail of breath, yet far enough away that his lips never touched her until his tongue reached out to gently stroke her lower lips. She d gasped (her gasp of pleasure translated now to a ragged intake of painful, chemical soaked air), and his tongue had withdrawn to be replaced by probing fingers. They d stroked the length of the slit which opened before him like a flower. Fingernails raked her collarbone and her fist closed around the collar of her shirt and the poignancy of the memory. The memory of his fingers sliding into her, touching spots of pleasure which made her body strain against its bonds. The fingers departed to be replaced by something hard and cold. She d gasped as somehow the insensate object found those very same pleasure points. In a very short time, the hard cold thing was no longer very cold, but was much slicker. A tongue slid in above it to swirl around yet another sensitive point. She could no longer both remember and sit upright, so she slumped over into a fetal position on the floor. Her head fell onto her hand, and her teeth found it with no need to look. She told herself that the scream was from the pain of the bite. She twisted so that her breasts felt the cool of the concrete floor, and her ears rang from the way it echoed her sobs. The scent of chemical spills of the past rose in her nostrils, so that she could taste every photograph she d ever developed here. The carrot had crunched satisfyingly in her mouth, lukewarm, when he d offered it, dripping, to her. She could hear him biting from it also, and they d chewed and laughed together as he d entered her, their jaws and hips matching rhythm. She d swallowed the half-masticated chunks so that she could concentrate on the exquisite sensations he was producing within her, and the sharp edges as they went down had been the only counterpoint to the pleasure of that exquisite encounter. Her head bobbed up and down, striking her forehead into the hard, cold floor. She finally succeeded in blotting out the memories, unconsciousness closing before she recalled her own climax or the one that had covered her stomach with sticky sweetness, before she could remember the night of being held and stroked. For the moment, she d found peace there on the darkroom floor. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!
