Just a tease
“Doing Bris”
by R. W. Shannon
An excerpt from Chocolate Flava 4
Doing Bris
R. W. Shannon
It was a typical Tuesday afternoon. I had the place to myself, so I thought, why the hell not? The cool air flowed in from my open windows, but I was careful to close the blinds. I wiggled my hips to the smooth sounds of the radio as I stepped out of my teal shorts. My gray tank top was already on the floor. I walked around the living room of my Georgetown condo, squeezing the full globes of my tits as my pussy moistened. My boyfriend, Jason, had moved in over the weekend, and his boxes were everywhere. I maneuvered around them to gaze at my nude body in the hallway mirror.
My dark chocolate skin was covered with a fine layer of sweat from my jog around the park an hour ago. I fingered my deep brown nipples until they hardened. My breath hitched as I watched myself run my hands down my torso to curve around the shaved mound between my legs. My brown eyes sparkled with mischief. Turning, I looked at my full ass in the mirror. I smacked the taut muscle before bending over. I realized, too late, that I couldn’t see my dark berry pussy from this angle and straightened up. Turning, I pointed at myself in the mirror.
“You’re so beautiful, Bris.”
I kissed my reflection in the mirror, winked, and then danced my way back into the living room and sat on the couch. Spreading my legs, I teased the soft nub of my clit. The muscle stiffened beneath my index finger. Moaning, I leaned back against the cushions and dipped my fingers down to explore my wet cave. I thrusted my finger inside, then stroked my supple wall before pulling it out and doing it again. A tingling sensation engulfed my pussy, but I wasn’t ready to cum yet.
Normally, just doing this much would’ve sent me into a fit of giggles before I passed out from embarrassment. When I touched myself, I normally did it under the cover of darkness, under the covers. This was all new to me. On my right was the thing that started this whole “me time”: my black leather cosmetic bag. I had stumbled upon it while I was making room for Jason’s things. It was my emergency kit. I hadn’t used it in the six months that we’d been together. I hadn’t needed to. I decided to take them for one final spin, before I got rid of them.
I pulled Pink Panther from the case. Panther was a slender, pink vibrator. The shaft was only five inches long. The tip curved up to perfectly caress my G-spot. I licked my lips as I twisted the base to activate the vibrate function. I held the smooth tip against my clit and squirmed as it massaged my bud, causing the sensation to cum to return again.
