He Glazed Me with His Honey

It was a night after I'd seen bodywork clients; driving to R's, I began to wind down and, lighting a joint, listened to Sade on the way there. Her music always got me thinking about car sex with R; we'd had car sex the night before, and images, sounds, and tastes were fresh in my mind.  I pulled into his long gravel driveway and rolled the windows down, getting a whiff of the farm smells I loved.

Everything that she did, from handing him his phone to knowing that one dessert would be plenty for them both, was charming to me. He loved her, and she obviously cherished and loved him.
