"Sex is no good unless you actually eat each other," Felice said. "Sometimes you eat the
bear, sometimes the bear eats you. Law of the jungle. Lex talionis."
Eric wasn't inclined to argue about it as he - well, because -
She had his balls in her hand.
He had her toes in his mouth. Geometry of lust, Lovecraft by Playboy. Angles inexplicable.
Besides, she hadn't actually said that at the time.
"Didn't you ever want to eat a woman?" she murmured.
Eric couldn't deny he'd had that fantasy. "It's just a fantasy," he murmured back. Felice was
curled under his armpit. He loved her. Oh God no......he could see it coming.
Fleece said nothing, waited.
You can't really eat people, Eric thought.
"You can't really eat people", Eric said.
"Because...?"
"It kills them. Killing people, not nice."
This was much later, you realise. Later cycle. Half a day.
"But you must have wondered what if....."
"What if?"
"She was already dead. Or he. You know. No crime, really, is it?"
Eric wasn't stupid. "Is this about Robert?"
"I told you it was an accident. I was tempted, and the noose thing was his idea, not mine. It
slipped. Then, there he was. Dead. Juicy balls and all. I just couldn't resist. Cadbury's cream
eggs..."
Felice smelled and felt warm and cosy. Her body was wrapped neatly around his. She might
be a lunatic but she was HIS girl. And of course, she was just kidding. Eric breathed in
deeply. Felice was a good lover. Scratch that, she was terrific. Better than he could have
imagined. She might be a lunatic but she was...(vagina dentata, honey trap) sort of fun....
"So you just ate him. Right. can't blame you for that." Dingoes? No, Crocodile Dundee.
Alligator. What's the name of that sexy babe who nearly got eaten? Tip of my tongue..
"Not all," she muttered. "I mean, I had to put the rest of him in the fridge....."
