THE GREAT PRETENDER (or Leave Your Money on the Dresser)
by J. Scott Grand

Charlie doesn’t want to talk about his day.

Charlie just wants a blowjob.

He wants to leave his money on the dresser and drink hotel whiskey while a beautiful woman plays with his balls. He wants to drown in warm soft lips and spit, and fingers that don’t feel like old bones and cold leather. He wants to explode in a mouth that remembers how to hide her disappointment and feigns laughter at his jokes. He wants to look into eyes that can pretend he’s someone he’s not.

She unrolls a condom over his cock and takes him in her mouth. She looks up at him with doe eyes and strained enthusiasm. Some guys want that lustful, innocent look when they’re getting head, but to Charlie her eyes look dull, like tarnished mirrors found in old, abandoned homes. And when he looks at her, he sees nothing but his own mediocrity.

“Would you mind closing your eyes?” he asks.

Miranda Kerr might be my current favorite supermodel, so it was a no brainer that I would have to post THIS.
