I Woke Up Like This

wantonly grinding against the mattress, wishing–hoping–for you behind me i can feel your hairy thighs tearing at mine– your fingers clawing into the soft flesh of my hips.

my breasts take my weight as we (we? I mean I–you aren’t here, are you?) force the unwanted pillows off the bed. I breathe in the sheet, filling my nose with longing.

Fingernails mark my hips. Teeth grab my shoulder. I push up, back, into you. Against you. My hand snakes to find the hollow under my hips. In that moment, I remember you’re not here.

Liv Dromen specializes in writing realistic, kinky, queer, trans erotica. She has been actively queer since the late eighties, when she realized at the tender age of possibly-too-young that having her hand down a girl’s pants (in public, on a bus) was quite pleasant. Other experiments followed. She is non-monogamous, trans, kinky, and magnetically attracted to awkward queers with cats. She lives near the fabled lesbian-centric town of Northampton, Massachusetts with her cats and her partners. She enjoys hiking, listening to klezmer music, drinking tea, and having lots of sex. She has been writing her Queer Quickies series of erotica off and on since 2011. Liv can be found at wordscanbesexy.com.
