My story falls into the speculative genre. After a militant Empire takes power, fiction and poetry are banned as frivolous pursuits. Infractions are strictly punished. But the creative spirit cannot be suppressed, and poetry goes underground.
Adele, a widow from the Emperor's endless wars, takes a position as secretary to a mysterious Professor. As he comes to trust her, he instructs her in the most personal of her duties: tattooing the Professor's poems onto his aging body and turning him into a living book.
Here's a snippet:
Poetry is like blood - you can't hold it back
-->
“Tonight's poem was the last, Adele. As of tomorrow, your services
will no longer required.”
“No – please – don't send me away...” I seize his illuminated
thigh, making new marks with my fingernails. Only when I see the pain
in his eyes do I release my grip. I know that the bloody crescents
I've carved are not responsible for his distress. “I need you, sir.
I can't live without you.”
“Nonsense! You're young, strong, full of life. You have a bright
future, if you can manage to get out of this hellish country. As for
me, my last days are ticking away. And I have accomplished what I set
out to do – with your help, my dear.”
He reaches out to brush my cheek with his fingers – only the second
or third time he has ever deliberately touched me – and I dissolve
into tears. I fling my arms around his neck, mashing my breasts
against his tattooed chest, and flatten him to the bed. He gasps as
the mattress presses against tonight's work, but for once I ignore
his pain. In an instant I'm straddling him, fighting to remove my
voluminous nightdress and bare my own skin to his gaze.
“Adele...get hold of yourself!” he admonishes in his most
professorial tones. Still, he does not resist as I grasp his cock and
stroke him to full hardness. I take him into me, swaddling him in my
wet heat. His eyes grow wide as I clench around his surprising bulk
and ride him as I've dreamed of doing for so many months – since
that first night, really, when he trusted me with his secrets.
He's used to pain, my professor, but not to pleasure. I coax him
toward his peak, using my hands when his cock begins to soften.
Sometimes I lean forward to dangle my breasts in his face, or sweep
them across his nipples. He arches up with an anguished moan when I
fasten my mouth on one of those little nubs, burrowing my nose into
his poems as I suck. I imagine I'm feasting on his penis, swirling my
tongue, raking his flesh with my teeth. He moves inside me, caught in
my furious rhythm, helpless in the face of my lust.
I picture his cock, a rod of pale ivory, burrowing into my slick,
blood-red folds. I think about writing a poem of my own on that
still-virgin skin and fly off into a climax so fierce and sudden that
the world goes black.
He doesn't come. When I regain my senses, he's holding me close,
stroking my hair, breathing in my ear. His cock droops outside my
drenched sex. I fumble between us, squeezing his reluctant organ back
into my cleft, to no avail. My own juices coat my fingers, but the
more viscous texture of semen is absent.
“I'm sorry, sir... I could take you in my mouth...”
“Hush. Don't be sorry, Adele. You've given me another great gift.
Just be quiet for a while.”
My rebellion has burned itself out with my desire. I settle into his
arms, with my head on his shoulder. If I squint, I can just make out
the line of a poem.
He sends me back to my room before dawn, as he has so many times
before. I go meekly, knowing I need to sleep. I leave the gold. We
can discuss that later. After my success in seducing my beloved
professor, I believe I can to sway him. I will convince him to let me
stay. Now that we are lovers, how can he refuse?
