#LesFicFri "PREFER"

“You were here when—when I—when it happened?”

“When you came, yes, it was very energetic.”

“Came? Is that the word for it?”

“Paroxysmed, orgasmed, climaxed.”

Rachel was a student of literature, and no doubt had been taught Latin and Ancient Greek. She enjoyed words and appeared to be contemplating the choices available.

She giggled. “To convulse, or to get excited, or—” she hesitated, “—to reach the highest point, I think. The first is accurate but does not communicate the pleasure, the second does not express the rising emotion however the third is a good match. Which do you prefer?”

“Come is simplest.”

Rachel nodded and unconsciously scratched her left breast, scraping her nails across her still firm nipple. She seemed to have forgotten her initial embarrassment.

From THE VIRGIN by Stephanie Bull (a pen-name of Steve Turnbull), from Book 4 of THE SALACIOUS JOURNAL OF WINIFRED CHURCHILL
