  MY FUNNY VALENTINE
 

I HAVE HAD many names.  She has none. They're scared of her, so they say
Miss like it's a given name, like it might be what saves them the next
time she's trigger-happy and tone-deaf.

She growls into my ear, a low whistle of dissatisfaction that thrums
through my body like an underwater explosion and I sprawl back on the
bed, tracing the edge of my tuxedo shirt where it rests upon my stomach.

There are names for women like her, not that there have been many, or
many who have used one and lived. Vixen. Bitch. Femme fatale. But she's
not a thing that comes when it's called.

Fuck love, then, and Valentines and all the rest.  I drop the phone
beside me and close my eyes. Her legs rise like skyscrapers, all steel
and strength, and I pull her down so she's straddling me.  Her short
little skirt is bunched up on my bare chest. I slide my fingers into
her.

She's not so cold inside.

She calls and I come, the kind of hard, desperate moaning thrust into a
pillow that almost makes you choke. She calls and I come, but I only
ever call her.
 
 

END.
