1
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 1>It's Thursday, September twenty fifth, and time feared daily. Fuck.

2
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>The only sound is the deep, monotonous drone of the

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 1>jet engines, a constant hum that has vibrated its way

4
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 1>into my bones. A cabin is dark, lit only by

5
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 1>the faint blue glow of the overhead sides the occasional

6
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>screen of a phone. Everyone around me is asleep, their

7
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>heads lowered, back, mouths slightly agape. Everyone except him. He's

8
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>in the seat next to me, the stranger I've been

9
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 1>pressed against for the last four hours. I know the

10
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 1>shape of his jaw from the slipper of moon my

11
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>coming through the window. I know the set of his skin,

12
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>clean soap, and a faint, spicy column that I've been

13
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>breathing in all night. Our thighs have been in a

14
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 1>constant more contact, a line of heap from hip to knee.

15
00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>We haven't spoken a word since he asked if I

16
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>needed help with my bag, but a conversation has been

17
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>happening in the space between us, with every accidental brush

18
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>of our hands on the shared arm rest. He shifts

19
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.439
<v Speaker 1>in his sleep or a faint sleep, and his knee

20
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>presses firmly against mine, lingering for a beat too long,

21
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>A cholt, sharp and electric should straight to my core.

22
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>At that moment, I decide turbulence isn't going to be

23
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the only thing making this flight interesting. My mood is subtle.

24
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I pretend a shiver, Pulling the thin, scratchy airline blanket

25
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>higher on my lap, I let one corner of its

26
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 1>slide over, covering his thigh as well as mine, a

27
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 1>shared tent in the dark. I feel him still for

28
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 1>a moment. Then his hand moves ostensibly to adjust the blanket.

29
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>His fingers brushed mind, a deliberate, questioning touch. I don't

30
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>pull away. Instead, I turn my hand, palm up, my fingers,

31
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>curling slightly. It's an invitation. Slowly, his fingers lace with

32
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 1>mind under the cover. My heart is a frantic bird

33
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>against my ribs. My other hand, the one he can't see,

34
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 1>makes its journey across the inches of seat separating us.

35
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I let go of his hand, and under the blanket,

36
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>my finger tips find the rough denim of his thigh.

37
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I let them rest there. A sonid question he answers

38
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:27.159
<v Speaker 1>by shifting again, giving me better access. My hand creeps higher,

39
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>a slow motion exploration of our private darkness. I find

40
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the bulge in his chains, my fingers trace its length.

41
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>It's hard. The knowledge sends a fresh wave of heat

42
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>pulling between my legs. At the same time, his hand

43
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.080
<v Speaker 1>begins its own journey. His knuckles skin the inside of

44
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>my thigh. His touch feather light on my bare skin

45
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 1>where my dress is ridden up. The risk is intoxicating.

46
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>A flight attendant could walk by at any second. The

47
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 1>man across the aisle could wake up, but that fear

48
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>is an aphrodisiac, sharpening every sensation. My fingers find the

49
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 1>button of his fly, and with painstaking slowness, unfastens it.

50
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 1>The rasp of his zipper sounds like a gunshot in

51
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the quiet cabin. I slip my hand inside, past the

52
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 1>fabric of his boxers and finally touch him. He's hot, smooth,

53
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 1>and pulsing with life. I wrap my fingers around his cock,

54
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.199
<v Speaker 1>and he enhils sharply, a sound that's swallowed by the

55
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 1>engines drone. As I begin to stroke him, his hand

56
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>reaches its destination. His fingers slide under the hem of

57
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.919
<v Speaker 1>my panties, which are already soaked through. He finds my

58
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>clip at out hesitation, and a choked gasp escapes my lips.

59
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 1>I press my head back against the seat, my eyes

60
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>squeezed shut. We fall into a silent, desperate rhythm. My

61
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>hand pumps his hard cock, feeling it grow even thicker,

62
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>slick with his pre comb, his fingers circle and tease,

63
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>sending jolts of lightning through my entire body. I can

64
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 1>feel him getting closer, his whole body tensing with the

65
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 1>effort of staying silent. I'm right there with him, on

66
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 1>a razor's edge of pleasure so intense it's almost painful.

67
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I have to bite down on my own knuckle to

68
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>keep from crying out. Your argasm hits me without mourning,

69
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 1>a silent, violent convulsion under the blanket. My body shudders,

70
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.199
<v Speaker 1>my hips bucking uselessly against the seat belt in his

71
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 1>expert hand. My climax tritters his. I feel his cock

72
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 1>pulse in my fist, his heart released, coating my hand,

73
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 1>as his entire body goes rigid in a silent, shuddering climax.

74
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>We stay like that for a long moment, breathless and trembling.

75
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>In the aftermath, our hands still intimately connected. Slowly we withdraw,

76
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>cleaning ourselves as best we can. With airplane napkins in

77
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.759
<v Speaker 1>the dark, We leave the blanket in place. Neither of

78
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 1>us sleeps for the rest of the flight. As the

79
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 1>sun rises and the cabin lights flicker on, we turn

80
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>and look at each other for the first time. He

81
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.439
<v Speaker 1>has kind eyes and a tired, beautiful smile. I smiled back.

82
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>We walk off the jet bridge in opposite directions, without

83
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>ever learning each other's names. It was the most intimate

84
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 1>conversation I've ever had.
