Bones of a Giant

a novel by Brian Thomas Isaac

EXCERPT

“TAKE A GANDER AT THAT,” said Uncle Aphonse.  “It’s Lily Edwards herself, Tiger Lily, heat lightning in a dress. When the night starts she can be fun, but all you gotta do is add booze and wait. Then she turns crazy. I know what she can do. Once when I came out of the Kal Hotel I seen this guy had her in the back seat of his car just a giving it to her when he got a little rough. You know what she did? She bit off the end of his ear. He was screaming his head off and she was laughing with blood on her teeth. Looked like a goddamn vampire. I’ll bet when you get her bare-assed in bed and all ready to go, it’s like nodding for the chute gate at a rodeo. They say her cherry is pushed back so far she uses it for a tail light. But she goes for the younger guys so I guess I’ll never have the pleasure.” 

Lily dropped her cigarette butt on the ground then climbed the stairs. Stepping into the hall, she recognized Alphonse and came toward him like a wolf eyeing prey. Lewis felt thrilled and uneasy.

“Hello Alphonse, you old mink. How’s she hanging?”

“Fair to middlin’ and good for diddlin’.”

She gave a short laugh then her eyes fixed on Lewis. “Well,” she said. “Look at you.”

“Take it easy, Lily. He’s just a teenager for Christ sake.” Alphonse said.

“That’s exactly how I like ‘em.” she stepped closer, and then closer. Her breasts bulged as she pushed into Lewis. When her nipples began digging at his chest, Lewis felt a swelling in the front of his pants.

“Lewis?” 

A small voice sounded from behind. It was Lewis’ crush Loretta, and her eyes went immediately to Lily’s chest. “What are you doing? And who is this?”

Lewis stammered. “I…’

“She’s a friend of mine,” Alphonse interrupted.   

“I’m no friend of his,” Lily said, “But I think this boy could be.”

Uncle Alphonse pushed his way in front of her. “Okay, you had your fun, now get outta here. Go find somebody else.” Lily flashed Lewis a slow smile and walked away. 

“Holy cow, Lewis, is that a hard-on?” Loretta asked.  Lewis placed his hands over his crotch as Loretta turned away and left him standing there, heat rising on his face.  

Alphonse spun his nephew toward the wall and back-handed him between his legs.

“Ow, Jesus!”

 “Only way I know how to kill it quick. You gotta make sure that don’t happen again boy, or wear a long shirt so nobody can see it. Come on, let’s go get us a beer and let her cool down a bit.” 

Alphonse placed his hand on Lewis’s shoulder and walked him to his car. Lewis sat slumped on the seat while Alphonse took two beer from the case behind the seat and opened them both. He handed one to Lewis, who drank the entire bottle without stopping.

 “Boy you couldn’t even do that with pop before. You really are washing your troubles away.”

“I didn’t even know I had a hard-on,” Lewis said. “Jeez. What’s wrong with me?”

“Tiger Lily is what’s wrong with you. She does that to guys. Somebody could park a truck on your pisser and she’d come along and you’d lift that sucker up like a hydraulic jack. You’re not the first horny dog this happened to.”

Lewis rested his cheek against the cool window.

Now listen up there, lover boy. Your mom is coming back next Sunday, so if I was you I’d get back in there and have some fun while you can. I’m gonna go back in, but why don’t you stay in the car for a while. I done a lot worse things than that. You’ll be okay. ”

When Alphonse closed the door and went up the stairs, Lewis was thankful to be by himself. He finished off another beer, then closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep until he was jerked awake by the sound of someone yelling. He wondered how long he had been asleep, because when he sat up he saw there were a lot more people than before and the sounds coming from the hall were so loud he could barely hear the music.    

He needed to pee but couldn’t go back inside the hall to use the bathroom. After taking a good look around, he got out and left the car door open so he wouldn’t be seen and relieved himself of the beer. When he finished he gave a shiver, pulled up his zipper and turned around to see Lily Edwards watching him from ten feet away. She stood with her hands on her hips, feet planted wide, as the light from the dance hall lit her shapely legs and hips through her flimsy dress.

“I been looking all over for you and here you are in the dark just waiting for me.” She walked over to the car, closed the passenger door, and opened the rear door.  “Get in.”

“What?”

“I said, get in the car.”

“What for?”

Lily grabbed Lewis and pushed him. He fell back on the car seat. When he tried to sit up, she climbed on and held him down by his shoulders.

“Now you just stay down there sunshine. Don’t you move, now.”

She stepped back and lifted her dress over her head, her full breasts hung up in the material for a split second, releasing and falling down, a single bounce. All the while her hot eyes were on him. Almost breathless, Lewis couldn’t take his eyes off her because he was seeing what he had only dreamed about. Her dress and panties fell to the floor. She worked quickly, unbuckled his belt, grabbed his pants and underwear as one and yanked them down, then took hold of his spalq, squeezed gently, expertly stroking him slowly, then positioned herself above Lewis. She eased herself down. And then, he was inside her. Lewis let out a groan.

“You like that, don’tcha? Now don’t just lay there and make me do all the work. Let’s see that horse buck around a little bit.” Like they were out of his control, his hips began moving.

“Yeah, like that. Atta boy. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.”  

Lewis couldn’t take his eyes off her breasts. 

“Well don’t just stare at ‘em,” Lily said, grabbing his hands and placing them where they both wanted them to be. “Squeeze them together until the nipples touch and get that tongue going. Do I have to tell you everything?”

When he came he felt like he had been jabbed with a stock prod. His temples throbbed and then a rushing sound like a waterfall boomed in his ears, his toes curled under, and he squeezed his ass cheeks together. Lily laughed at the faces he made but continued rocking on him, her movements becoming faster. Lewis wondered how he could still be hard when she let out her own long groan herself. She quivered and shook like a wet horse shedding water, rolled her hips, and pushed her breasts into Lewis’s face.
