Shadow

July 9th, 2008

"Come here," I said, motioning to him from the bed. He sat on the small couch across the room, resisting me.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I want to."

I smiled. I knew I had already won. And he came over to me.

As he fucked from behind, I watched our shadows on the wall. The light from the bathroom cast sharp, vivid, dark shadows on the wall beside us. I saw the curve of my back rolling up from the mattress into him. I saw the undulation of my body that matched his thrusts. I saw his arms disappear down into my shape. I saw the motion of his thrust in the slope of his back. I noticed my vacation belly protruding on my shadow body. I was hypnotized, mesmerized by watching the visual echo of our sex.
