‘Perhaps?’ he said, reaching for my chin and twisting my face back to him. ‘Did you find the little jingly balls, my love?’
‘Yes.’
His fingers ran along my inner thigh and patted it at the top. It was an almost unbearably sensuous feeling and I felt myself gush.
‘So where are they now? Tell me.’
‘They’re …’ I squirmed a bit, making them chime. ‘Can you guess?’
He chuckled but patted me again, harder this time.
‘I don’t have to guess. I’m asking you because I want you to tell me.’
Of course he was.
‘They’re inside me,’ I said, turning my eyes downwards.
‘Inside you? Did you eat them?’
I tutted. ‘No.’ God, he always got his pound of flesh. I don’t know why I was bothering to prevaricate really.
‘So? Be more … explicit.’
‘They’re … I put them up inside …’
‘Inside …?’
I huffed and spread my legs so that one of my feet landed in his lap.
‘Here, look for yourself.’
He laughed at my misguided bravado and held on to an ankle while his eyes glittered into mine.
‘Was that wise, Sarah?’
‘Probably not.’
‘What do you think would have been a better idea?’
‘Just to tell you what you asked, I suppose.’
‘Right. It always amuses me that you find it so difficult. Which is why I keep on asking, I suppose. I’m a horrible man, aren’t I?’
‘Yes.’
‘Say it. Go on. Tell me where the balls are.’
‘They’re in my …’ I stalled. I always had a problem deciding on terminology. ‘Cunt’ sounded too harsh, though I knew he’d get a kick out of it. ‘Vagina’ was most acceptable to me, but he’d find it too clinical. Maybe I should give it a cutesy name. Go for ‘foo foo’ or ‘front botty’ or something awful like that. I stifled a giggle, picturing his appalled face if I did.
No. I’d have to take the middle route.
I took a deep breath. ‘They’re in my pussy,’ I said, as matter-of-factly as I could.
‘Ah, see, was that so hard?’ he crooned, still stroking my inner thighs. ‘So you’ve got a full pussy, have you? And is that nice?’
‘It’s not bad,’ I said, maintaining my defiantly unbreathy tone.
‘Not bad? Well, we’ll have to do better than that. Perhaps the beads …?’
