Excerpt:
Instantly Karen suspected something was
amiss. The heat and the beads of sweat around Luanne's cheeks, the wet on her
neck below her ears. All betrayed Luanne's discomfiture.
Karen walked around. Looked around.
"Can I...?" She headed towards the
kitchen. Luanne heard her stir the coffee, clink a cup on the counter.
"Coffee?" Sugar spoon. Fridge
door. Luanne leaned over and glanced at Karen in time to see her finish pouring
milk. Return to the fridge, clink, clink.
Every sound had texture. Luanne looked
around, could not see.
A wisp, a black shadow. The trail of a
memory like a dream receding even as she tried to grab onto it, make it
tangible.
Karen returned to the room, her hand empty.
Luanne felt drunk. She thought of asking, "Where's your drink?" but
decided the words would come out slurred and Karen would know, so she said
nothing.
She wasn't even entirely sure how long Karen
had been there. She half-entertained the idea that it had been Karen all along,
in her half-asleep hallucination. But the sticky residue of the Melusine's
caresses still stuck along her thigh, along the sides of her breasts.
She covered herself up as best she could
without doing the buttons again. Didn't want to appear too modest. A lost
cause.
But Karen liked her like this. A little off
balance. It reminded her of the times when they would get together in a moment,
never with the intention of fucking each other. Never for a drink, never just
for dinner. It was always a kind of girls night out when other plans had fallen
through. Casual in which no agenda opened up possibilities and slowed time.
A couple too many glasses of wine, watching
TV late into the night. And they would end up in their pajamas and one would
put their lips on the other's back. At the shoulder, where the skin showed,
just a little loose. Then a shirt would open, and fingers would slide down to
nipples. And then slide down further, down each other's backs. Then into the
crease of each other.
No words. Drunk. Give me another drink. She
was not sure she told herself she was not sure and she continued.
"Are you all right?" Luanne walked
to the bedroom. The windows at the floor were open, lower casement stuck out
erect. It wasn't cool, but humid.
Karen didn't see anyone else around. Luanne
said nothing.
"Have you been – touching
yourself?"
Karen stood, her hand on the sill by her
head. Waiting. She'd wait forever but she knew Luanne wouldn't let her. Luanne
walked to her and kissed her.
Her lips were cool. Dry. She pushed them
closer, mashing her face passionately with Karen's.
Karen leaned back, let Luanne maul her.
"Thank you. I thought..."
"Shh." Karen was a vacuum which
Luanne couldn't help but fill.
She was taken over. Still not sure what was
happening. A dream, a fainting in which she'd been overtaken by her sexual
urges – her blood rushed from her head and became lightheaded as Luanne tasted
her.

Let’s talk about Valerie Brundage:
Valerie began writing three months after her
divorce, realizing two surprising dreams within a few months. It was more than
her imagination that was being held back, and she’s enjoying writing about
those dark sexy urges as much as acting on them. She’s currently working on a
book based loosely on her promiscuous years before she got married.
