We also used to punch each other. I know that sounds weird but it’s really not. Charisma and I used to choke each other. Jules and I punched each other. It’s just..it’s just one of the things you can do during sex (with someone you know really well) that’s kind of a release. Jules started it.
"Hit me."
"Hit you?"
"Did we discover something Matthew’s never done?"
"I’m mean I’ve done—similar things but—hit you?"
She turns her head. This broad side of her face is there: cheek, jawbone, neck. She braces for me to do it.
"I don’t wanna hit you."
She bears her fingernails into my wrist. "Fucking. Hit. Me." Then she gets really excited. I don’t even have to fuck her, to make her come.
