Tristan is a shy librarian, who may have fantasies of swinging from
the rafters but he’s never had the guts to be sexually daring. Phillip, who
believes more in happy endings that require a swallow than in happily ever
after. After they meet it seems to Tristan everyone seems to be having wild
sexy times but him and he’s tired of it. This excerpt is right after he parts
company from Phillip. Tristan’s home alone as usual and even his television
seems to mock his meek nature.
Excerpt for The Librarian’s
Rake:
When the quiet got too loud, he
flicked on the TV to hear someone talking to him as he devoured his takeout
chicken sandwich.
“I’m Todd Jones, reporting on
dogging in America.”
Turning toward the TV—where were
the puppies?
The partially blocked-out picture
showed a couple having car sex while people stood around in a semicircle
watching. A voiceover boomed, “It’s called dogging. People watch a couple have sex
or go to participate in some way themselves and to be watched.”
What in the world was this?
The handsome interviewer started
chatting with a couple who could be Tristan’s next-door neighbors—for all he
knew they might be! They calmly discussed the vast number of websites available
for people to find out where others are having sex in public places.
“How long have you two been doing
this?” Todd asked.
Not why, which would have been
Tristan’s first question. Why would you take a risk? Why would you want others
to watch you? Why—
Tristan forced himself to swallow
the last bites of his sandwich while the middle-aged woman on TV smiled. “For
several years. The kids graduated college and moved across the country, and,
well, we wanted to add spice back into our relationship.”
The disembodied voice droned on as
various censored encounters played out. “The term dogging originally
came from someone walking a dog and stumbling across people having sex. But now
the practice has turned into what some consider a sport. Usually the meetups
happen in parking lots, but with the use of the internet….”
The man smugly stated, “The wife and
I have dogged in a junkyard, mall parking lots, the back of an ice cream
parlor, near several drive-thru windows, the drive-ins—”
“My favorite was in long-term
parking at the airport.” His wife grinned.
The interviewer cleared his throat
and asked, “Do others participate when you…?”
The wife giggled. “Only if we want
them to.”
The husband added, “And only a
little bit. They can lay their hands on her, but—”
“Oh you! You’re so jealous. I love
you.” The women blushed.
“I love you too, Mary Jean.” The
husband appeared stupidly in love with the woman.
Tristan sighed and turned off the
television.
Was that what Frederick wanted? Was
everyone in the world into wild sex? Why was it so amiss to want to have sex in
a bed?
As he put the last pots and pans
away and shut the dishwasher, his mind beelined to Phillip. He pulled out the
card in his pocket and stared at it. Phillip probably used hookup sites on a
regular basis. Did he order “oral sex to go” on a recurring schedule?
Tristan wanted to deny the appeal of
the straightforward ease but couldn’t. It had to be wrong just having sex with
strangers. Didn’t it? Maybe he was too straitlaced and hemmed in by societal
norms, but he found the whole thing sordid.
Why even think about the sites he’d
never use? The idea of Phillip ordering a blowjob like fast food made
Tristan’s cock harden… again. The dirtiness, which had never had appeal, now
seemed arousing.

is acting on that attraction wise?

Phillip is bound to and quiet, bookish Tristan boring, like all Tristan’s

to feel free.

night.
