Testes of Strength
My grandfather had acquired the nickname "Tuffy" at a young age. Through working as a stone mason all of his life, he had lived up to it. By the age of 16, he was already the size of a full-grown man.
A carnival had rolled into town and one of the featured attractions was the opportunity to win $10 by pinning the strong man in a wrestling match. Tuffy knew he could whup him.
He stripped off his shirt, put on some tights and climbed into the ring. The bell rang and Tuffy held his own for a little while, but suddenly the strongman began to put him in a series of submission holds that he was helpless against.
He told us, "This guy was strong, at one point he had me so goofed up I could barely breathe, much less move. I looked up gasping for air and I saw a set of balls hanging about a foot from my face."
Without hesitation, he reached up and grabbed them, twisting with everything he had. Unfortunately, they were his own. Tuffy lost the match.
First Kiss
It started from the moment she
readjusted her position to be
more comfortable
barely leaning her head on his shoulder
Then
His arm around her shoulders
Fingers gingerly tracing her delicate shoulders
She smiled into his beating heart
Warmth
Her lovely black hair tickled his nose
Nervous giggling
repositioned her head which brought her forehead
Dangerously close to his beautifully rough chin
Her small arms barely enveloping his chest
Tentatively reaching for the back of his neck
As his fingers traced down the length of her torso
Kindling tiny tremorous intakes of breath
He was
Ever so tender; ever so reverent
Then -
She looked up at him
Caressing his face
Gently pressed her lips onto his cheek
On a shy, courageous impulse
Her head ringing with the quickened pulse of his heart
As he turned his body
Brought his face closer
Oh
She was surprised
At the overeager entrance of an early intruder
When she had barely even properly greeted his soft lips
Confused, she tried to greet them again
But unlike the heedful fingers
It was inexpertly hasty
Rushed - almost forced.
She pulled away, feeling
delightfully distraught
distastefully divine
However
It had made him - who was unattainable, too incandescent -
Human
Just like her
She smiled
It was her first kiss...
...A delicious disaster
