Elysium Fields

Topanga Canyon, California

Moving forward, Marsha led Mitchell down the three narrow steps into the hot, chest high, foaming, bubbling water.

Standing in a semicircle, Evie and Morgan were holding hands; Kenneth and Sandy each had an arm about the other’s waist. Roughly completing the circle, Marsha standing alongside of Evie and Mitchell between and slightly behind his wife and Sandy.

Eyes closed, standing quietly with whatever lustful thoughts they may have, the six friends savored the hot, amorously bubbling water and the erotically stimulating presence of those they know, and those they do not know.

Mitchell, his left arm submerged and out of sight, is softly manipulating the flesh of Marsha’s somewhat  hard right buttock, while his right hand – his brain telling him, ‘no, don’t do it’ ­­­­­­­­–  was caressing the much softer flesh of Sandy’s left buttock.

A hand… not sure if the hand is the hand of his wife –standing to his left – or if the hand is the hand of Sandy –standing to his right – however, in either case, lost in the fantasy of being held… of his thoroughly rigid, fully erected penis now being manipulated by…?

Fantasy: two women, which woman?

 If the hand holding me is touched by the hand wanting to hold me…? Anger? Embarrassment? 

Fantasy: two women, which woman?

 Mitchell’s eyes closed, his harsh breathing covered by the sound of the multitude of rushing Jacuzzi jets, the murmur of nearly twenty-four people and the seething, foamy water…

Wondering if his semen would dissolve in the hot water or float to the top?

It dissolved.

Elysium Addendum

9/13/11

For those of you that have followed the Elysium series, I sincerely want to thank you and, of course – hoping that you were not offended by anything I wrote – that you enjoyed “Elysium Fields”.

As of today, there are 285 people that have followed “Elysium” and to those I would like to say that all of the “flashbacks” are excerpts from either of my novels: “Becoming” or “For Better or worse”.  

If you‘ve enjoyed the time spent with Marsha and Mitchell at Elysium Fields; if you’d like to connect the dots: Beginning in Chicago, Illinois in 1939, you will be interested in Mitchell’s coming of age story, “Becoming”. Then, the story of Marsha and Mitchell continues in 1956 as a stop light in Brighton Beach, New York turns from red to green in, “For Better or Worse”.   

The cost of either of these novels (Becoming 736 pages and FBOW 734 pages) if purchased through Authors Den is $30.95 including shipping and handling. Or, if purchased directly through me, the cost is $28.90 including shipping and handling.

If purchasing directly through me, please go to mmlichterman.com and from there to my Email address.

Once again….

                                                                                              Thank you
