"Stop that noise, Lefty," Gabby called from the door. She came to the bed and sat down beside Lennox. She was wearing a grey skirt and a slate blue sweater. Lennox immediately reached up and seized her breasts with his heavy hands.
"The All-Mother," he laughed.
He hurt her. She eased his hands and said: "Yes, that's how they're tattooed, Lefty."
He began to wrestle with her, trying to tear off the sweater.
"Take it easy," she said. "Or do you want to hurt me?"
"No, no, lady," Lennox apologized. "Act of homage. 'Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast. To feel forever its soft fall and swell....' Etcetera. Etcetera. Sonnet by J. Keats. Theme song of L. Leftwich." He hauled her down on the bed. She kissed him once and then bit his ear until he roared with pain.
"Jesus!" he complained.
"Did I hurt you?" she inquired.
"Christ, yes!"
"I'm sorry, Lefty." She kissed the injured ear and bit the other until he roared again.
