I pulled her down off of me. “Look, we gotta get up to my freezer and get me some damn ice for my ear.”

She laughed and leaned into me, extra weak from fucking. Her legs were not stable yet. She had a case of rubber thighs. She was leaning up against me to stop herself from falling over. She didn’t even care about her dress being cum-stained.

I zipped my shit back inside my pants and I planned to hide us behind the bag of food. I pushed the STOP knob back in on the elevator and it began to move.

“Oh, shit. You’re gonna have to carry me to your place,” Danni joked. I couldn’t even lean down to pick the food up with her full weight against me. I was worn out, too. I had just pumped over a hundred pounds at least fifty times into the air.

“Come on now, stop it,” I told her.

“I’m serious. I can’t stand up,” she whined.

As soon as she said that, I could hear people talking above us as the elevator reached the lobby floor. I quickly grabbed the bag of food from the floor and held it in front of us.

The doors opened up, and at least three of the building’s staff were standing there to greet us.

“Ah, sir, was the elevator stuck?” the white security guard asked us.

Danni started laughing. Only the white security guard even bothered to ask. The two black guys walked away from us in embarrassment. We looked and smelled like sex.

I said, “Yeah, we’ll be all right. You don’t have to file no complaint or nothing. We’re fine. We’re just a little exhausted from the gym.”

I didn’t know what the hell I was saying. We weren’t even dressed for the gym.

The security guard nodded and said, “Okay,” and walked off.

When we climbed into the second elevator to my floor, Danni leaned up against me and mocked him.

“Ah, excuse me, sir, was the elevator stuck?”

She started laughing again. Then she looked me in the eyes with more seduction in mind.

“You wanna get this elevator stuck, too?”

I was still rubbing my right ear to take the sting away.

I said, “I think you had enough elevator for one night.”

Fortunately she agreed with me. “Yeah, you’re right. I probably need vanilla ice cream over the kitchen counter now. Do you have any of that, or do we need to order?”

I shook my head. That damn girl was wild. That’s probably why I liked her. I could fuck her any way I wanted.

Nightmares

DANNI TORE ME UP for two more howls at the moon that night before I fell asleep and into a deep coma. She could have bitten my ear off completely, à la Mike Tyson, and I still wouldn’t have gotten up. That’s just how out of it I was. I was deep into what scientists call REM sleep, the dream level.
