12. Saturday Saturnalia and the Best Compliment Ever


       We’d had this day in the backs of our minds all week. The kid was heading to the renaissance faire with his friends. Historically, they geek out, dress up, spend all day there, and come home sunburned. I’m jealous here, not judging – now that he’s old enough to do it with his friends, there’s nobody left to do it with me! The upside though, is the empty Saturday. I love afternoon sex. Three o’clock in the afternoon is my favorite time of day to get laid. The light is right, and it comes from the sun, so there’s no turning it off. The heat of the day is in the room with you, contained in just the slightest sheen of damp on your skin. If you open the window, there’s the breeze against it too, and the sounds of innocent, afternoon life outside your world. Most of all, 3pm is a time when you should almost certainly be doing something else. It’s decadent. I was tight in the grip of anticipation.
The kid left later than planned, but whatever, the day would still be long enough for the slow, heady rise to late afternoon, and finally he was out of the house. We got comfortable, we sampled new porn, we talked sex, we groped and fondled, tested, tasted and played… We spent fourish hours on casual foreplay. No penetr – no wait, that’s not true – no intercourse, I guess is accurate. Then as the heavy tension built toward a true, inhibition-free bacchanal, we got a text saying the boy was already on his way home. Pardon? By which I mean WHAT?!
Okay so we had two options: Start the serious action for real and make it quick (not likely – cheap-out after four hours of build up? I don’t think so.) We could wait, and wait, and wait some more, and hope the mood sustained until after dinner (which meant we’d suddenly have to plan and execute an actual dinner). Our two possible plans were equally unappealing. And then my genius husband came up with Plan the Third: “Here’s $20 for a pizza; we’re going out, and we’re going to be late.”
Because sometimes you just have to go to a hotel that’s two miles away from your house, and pay for a night you know you’ll only stay for half of. Sometimes you have to pack a hotel bag arsenal of kinky lingerie, sex toys, embellishments and accoutrement that you know you’ll maybe use a quarter of. Sometimes you have to demand a hotel room with a balcony, so that you can do things on it that leave a wet spot and will get you kicked out, if your neighbors on either side happen to look out their windows. Sometimes you have to go to a hotel and test the height of the wet bar against the height of your husband’s pelvis. Sometimes you have to go to a hotel and have marathon blow job sessions on your knees, in front of a couch you don’t want to see under a black light. (Sometimes you need to hear someone you want to spend your whole life fucking say something as awesome to you as “That is Jedi-level cock sucking.”) Sometimes you have to overindulge. Sometimes you have to shed your everyday life and dip your naked core in saturnalia. Sometimes you have to go to a hotel and realize three hours in that you haven’t fucked on the bed yet… And then correct that oversight with impressive, eyebrow-raising flourish.
Sometimes you have to be the reason that germaphobes have anxiety attacks in hotel rooms.


(Not sure this one goes with the spirit of the post musically, but I just couldn't pull the trigger on  Hotel California...)
