- Amelia's Starring Role
-
- She was small, and somehow childlike even though her eyes were wise
- and her gait determined. A casual observer would notice the grace in her
- step, and admire the resoluteness in the pose of her head; she seemed to be
- searching for something, but gave the impression its find would be unexpected.
- Like a sleepwalker, perhaps, or just a solemn little girl playing hide-and-
- seek with an imaginary friend.
- Soft, shimmering folds of cloth fell in a swirl from her almost
- too-high Imperial neckline. She was long-limbed but short-waisted and favored
- this style for its complementary treatment of this imperfection. Her grey
- eyes widened as she caught a glimpse of herself in the glossy surface of the
- domed metal corridor, and her pensive look spoke volumes on her self-esteem.
- Her lips were next to widen as a tall figure moved into view directly behind
- her.
-
- "Oh, sir, I hadn't expected to see you...you startled me." she
- lilted delicately in a surprisingly mature tone.
-
- "I can see that." smiled the older, silver-haired man whom she turned
- to face. "I'd been told you were looking for me, so I decided to shorten your
- trip. Would you prefer the lounge, or is my office more suited to the
- matter?"
-
- "The lounge would be alright, I suppose. It's nothing of any real
- urgency, but I thought you might like to hear this from me, first; it is my
- assignment, after all." she smiled in return.
-
- "Cut! Okay, we've been here long enough for tonight, and that's a
- wrap for this scene. We'll pick up at 9 am with the reshoot of scene 2 --
- that footage doesn't look as good as it could. Remember, everybody, plenty
- of sleep and be ready for another full day of shooting tomorrow. We're
- doing good and we're staying on schedule, let's keep it up!" The director
- stood as he said this and the crew began breaking up the equipment. The
- actors gathered belongings, hoping to change in their trailors and have
- enough time to beat the late traffic; the two on stage allowed their
- characters to leave them, slowly.
-
- "Amelia, you're doing a wonderful job. It's amazing to me that you've
- never filmed before! Stage actors are rarely this poised when it comes to
- making movies."
-
- "Yes, well, it's new but it's fun. I've been told I'm a natural,"
- she replied with the nonchalance of someone who's not sure she's really been
- paid a compliment, "but I think it's just luck: good luck to have my founder-
- ing ego boosted by some of the best actors in the business."
-
- Shedding his role like a lazy chameleon, Patrick resumed his natural
- British accent; a reversal, of sorts, as she regained the oddly-inflected,
- strangely neutral "American" accent of her own. "I think your ego is a
- healthy one, no worries there." he chuckled. "Would you like to go into town
- and have dinner this evening? I'm absolutely cringing at the thought of
- another repast in my cabin, and I'd enjoy the company."
-
- "Sleeping was my only other option tonight, someone borrowed my cards
- and I can't play solitaire without them, so, why not?" Her mischievous grin
- was infectious, and the two of them laughed as they parted to their respective
- trailors.
-
- Escaping the gown was a monumental achievement, its stays and pins
- being reminiscent of a straitjacket; Amelia was almost afronted at being
- forced to hide her perfectly good, natural figure within its confines. Oh,
- well, it was her chosen occupation and this was one of its hazards. She
- smiled again, and blushed...Patrick Harrison, for all his status as an
- *actor*, on stage and off, was proving a delightful new friend. He was still
- the dashing, impeccably-attired, prematurely-greying hero whose exploits
- shaped her life; he had, of course, grown into his grey a bit and he'd look
- equally impeccable in a tuxedo or faded denims. Now, here she was, in what
- was being touted as the hottest movie of the season in a year studded with
- spectacular releases; the leading female role opposite the man she'd fallen
- in love with when she was a little girl. A sci-fi flick, at that! The
- ultra-futuristic sets made her marvel, even though they were just mock-ups.
- Well, with all the praise she was receiving, as well as the prompting and
- approval of others in the field whose names had been household words for
- years made her feel more at-ease with her success. She rushed at the last
- minute, mindful of Patrick's waiting and aware that her own unbidden fears
- of making a fool of herself in such glamorous company could prey too heavily
- on her mind to allow sleep if she let it get too great an advantage.
-
- "Oh, there you are. You surprise me, Amelia, most women take their
- time and make a man's stomach go through horrible agonies waiting for their
- suppers. I approve."
-
- That, spoken with such a serious face, caused Amelia to break out in
- giggles. He Patrick was, if nothing else, a very entertaining and diverting
- fellow. If he hadn't been there she honestly believed the "magic" would have
- been missing from the film completely. Such spontaneity put her at her ease
- immediately, and he seemed genuinely to like her.
-
- Patrick cocked his head, then cocked his left eyebrow, returned her
- smile and gestured to the door. They left quickly, eager to be rid of the
- site for awhile and anticipating "real food" at an unspecified restaurant in
- the town below.

-
- "...and then we switched places, and soon everyone in the chorus was
- playing `musical chairs'!" laughed Patrick. Reminiscing was pleasant with
- Amelia; she seemed to enjoy his discourse, and found amusing those exploits
- he'd all but forgotten. At forty-three he was still in his prime, but he'd
- started so young that many of his memories of the stage were more than twenty-
- five years in the past. She was a novice, just starting out in her first
- large part and showing tremendous promise -- he was happy to be a part of this
- experience for her, and knew she depended on him a great deal. She was per-
- haps twenty-four or -five, but commanded much dignity for one so young. She'd
- go far...
-
- Amelia laughed with childish eagerness, amazed to hear some of the
- finer points of the behind-stage antics of what were some of her favorite
- productions. She was dressed in a light, summery dress that grazed her
- shoulders and allowed her freedom of movement, weary of the tightly clinging
- garments she wore for the better part of each day of filming. She leaned
- toward him in a gesture of innocence and trust, delineating even more the
- small space between them. They'd almost finished their meal, a pasta made
- sweet with basil and herbs and accompanied by a chickory salad and a good
- white wine. The waiters brought extra tidbits throughout the evening to
- Amelia, who jokingly passed them along to Patrick. They both declined a
- sweet, looking forward to a coffee in the quiet of the trailers later.
-
- "Shall we go now, before these Lotharios decide to tag along behind
- you?" he quipped. It was getting late and they did have to be ready for
- makeup at 6 o'clock in the morning.
-
- "Hmm...I suppose we should. It's a shame to have to stop our talk
- here, though. I've been learning a lot from you, Patrick, and I appreciate
- the fact that you're here when I need you. I'd like the opportunity to get
- to know you better, I think we have the potential to become good friends.
- Maybe you can even be my mentor." she teased.
-
- "Or, perhaps, your Svengali. I've always fancied myself a psycho-
- logical Frankenstein..." mused Patrick.
-
- The drive back was uneventful and decidedly too short. The night
- was perfect for a long walk, but they didn't have the time to call their own.
-
- "Would you like to have a nightcap? I really don't want to end the
- evening right now. I have a good recipe for Irish coffee..." Amelia offered.
-
- "Alright, but we'd best part company soon. We are creatures of our
- contracts, you know."
-
- "It doesn't take that long to make coffee, and I'm sure you'll make
- short work of the drink...you did with everything else tonight! How you can
- eat calamari I'll never know!"
-
- "I like squid." was his typical reply.
-
- ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
-
- "You know, I've been a fan of yours for a long time; I can hardly
- believe I'm actually working with you on a movie!" breathed Amelia, with
- something akin to wonder. Her coffee was long since gone, and Patrick was
- having his third. The surrealism of the past weeks' events, coupled with
- the alcohol which always made her introspective, produced a quality of
- vulnerability in her expression. She leaned against Patrick as naturally
- as though it were a lifelong habit, and his arms encircled her gently.
-
- "Have you?" he whispered. It was an unusual friendship they shared,
- founded on mutual respect and admiration. They had come to know each other
- very well in a short period of time, and he brooded on the fact that he may
- have allowed himself to become too close. She was everything he'd ever
- imagined she'd be in their shared art, and would grow even more than she
- already had, given the chance. And he didn't feel the least constrained,
- wasn't bored by her chatter and didn't dread her company as he did with most
- of his leads. Amelia was, in his estimation, the epitome of the ideal
- companion.
-
- "Patrick? What's the matter?" she asked. He stiffened a bit, a
- little annoyed she sensed his moods so easily. He'd never before been an
- easy cipher.
-
- "Nothing, I'm just thinking." He relaxed, and chided himself. It
- was a lucky man who could win the concern of a woman like Amelia. "I've
- been reflecting on how quickly we've gone through the traditional getting-to-
- know-you phase of this relationship. It's uncanny how easy it is for you to
- read me."
-
- "Oh." Grey eyes gazed out into the dim room. Then a warm body
- pressed into his, and the kitten-soft lashes framing those glorious eyes
- brushed his cheek. Their fluttering, and the light, shallow breath pulsing
- against his throat made Patrick Harrison, a normally deliberate and con-
- scientious man, renowned the world over for his ability to bring strength
- to any production whose presence he graced, miss his cue for the first time
- in his life; only when Amelia half-smiled, and pulled his mouth to hers, did
- he realize he'd stopped breathing.
-
- They kissed exquisitely, cherishing the contours of each others'
- lips, and teeth, and tongues. Exhaling rapidly into her mouth, Patrick
- almost stopped cold at the feelings she elicited in him. It was a shock to
- experience such joy, and tenderness, and passion... he had been blase about
- the whole issue of sex after the tumultuous three years or so following his
- awkward first fumblings with a girl he'd thought he loved. Now, this sweet
- creature had reawakened emotions he'd believed long-dead. He moaned against
- her cheek, raining kisses along her eyelids and nose. Amelia nuzzled his
- jaw, amazed at her own, intense desires. She didn't know what she should
- do, though, not being sure what Patrick would like; he wasn't exactly a
- schoolboy, he was decidedly a man who knew his own mind. Her own mind was
- refusing to respond, anyway, her pleasure sensors taking over...she
- abandoned reason and gave in to more primal instincts.
-
- Amelia felt large, warm hands caressing her back. Patrick pulled
- her with him as he reclined, and held her on top of him. She was writhing
- sensuously against him, and teasing his throat with light nips and occasional
- flicks of her tongue; he responded in kind, tracing her jaw from her chin to
- her ear and sucking the lobe. Her breathing quickened perceptibly and she
- ground her hips against his. She was driving the hardening, thickening length
- of his penis against her swelling mound, rubbing up and down and making her
- moves more precise and deliberate. Patrick, in answer, pulled the skirt of
- her dress up over her thigh and began kneading her tender flesh. His penis
- was so full now he felt as though he'd explode.
-
- "Amelia, help me. Lift up so I can pull this damned dress off you!"
- he whispered. His vocal cords would have been useless for anything else.
-
- Amelia got up abruptly, lifting her dress up in one swift movement.
- Her breasts were small, but high and firm and she had no need for a bra. Her
- panties were tiny scraps of white cotton held together with lace, a tiny
- curtain for the triangle of curly blonde hair trying to peep through. Her
- eyes lowering suddenly, she blushed; it served to make her look even more
- enticing, and shifted subtly the tint in her small, pink nipples. Then, with
- a determined look, she reached down to Patrick's shirt and started to
- unbutton it.
-
- Her hair fell in honeyed waves as she leaned forward, and Patrick
- caught a handful and kissed it swiftly. He could barely keep his hands off
- her, but he wanted to let her make all the moves. She reached in as his shirt
- was half undone and ran her hands lightly over his chest and across his
- nipples. She rolled her thumbs and forefingers around them gently, and gave
- slight, insistent pulls until they were so erect they ached; he finished
- taking off his shirt and pulled her head softly to his chest. Amelia touched
- the tip of her tongue briefly to each nipple, then circled first one, then
- the other before fastening on them. She allowed one hand to drift down over
- the bulge she'd thrilled to earlier, to massage its length and to caress it.
- Her other hand occupied itself with Patrick's other nipple, his entire body
- now sensitive to her every move.
-
- Amelia worked her fingers underneath his waistband, teasing him. He
- unzipped his slacks and pushed her away enough for him to slide them halfway
- off. She rose, and pulled him by his hands; he stepped out of the pants and
- positioned his thumbs inside the waist of his briefs, but she caught his
- hands and pulled them away. She knelt before him and pulled down, slowly, on
- the undergarment until his penis was in full view. Amelia smiled, and hugged
- his thighs; then she placed her tongue on the base of his penis and began
- stroking him up and down, sucking with her lips at the base of the glans and
- lowering her mouth over the whole organ. Patrick wove his hands into her
- hair, and held her, and thrusted into her throat whenever she covered him.
- She was soft and gentle and yielding and she was doing the most incredible
- things to him with those luscious lips!
-
- With growing intensity she sucked every inch of him, wrapping her
- tongue around him and massaging his tightly clenched buttocks. She had him
- at her mercy, she knew; she was also aware, for the first time, that she was
- the one who'd initiated contact to begin with. It was with some amazement
- that she realized he was shaking and whispering her name...
-
- "Patrick? Are you alright?" she queried with a bemused smile.
-
- "Dear God, Amelia, you don't know what you've done to me! I'm an old
- man, remember? I don't think I can move." he breathed as he collapsed onto
- the couch. Amelia leaned forward and kissed him lightly.
-
- "Would you like to try to get as far as the bedroom? Once there you
- won't have to do *too* much."
-
- With that promise in mind Patrick found the strength necessary to
- follow right behind her.
-
- "Here, isn't this better?" She held out her hands to him and pulled
- him down beside her. He quickly pinned her to the bed and began kissing
- her hair, her eyes, her nose, her mouth; making her gasp aloud as his lips
- and tongue traveled down her throat and lit on her breasts. He circled
- the dark pink aureoles, one after the other, lavishing his tongue over each
- nipple and teasing them until they stood tautly away from her breasts.
- Patrick was the one to take note, this time, of the effect his efforts were
- having -- Amelia's mouth was drawn into a small "o" and her eyes were tightly
- closed. Her skin was incredibly smooth, he thought, scented of baby powder
- and glistening with a fine sheen of perspiration.
-
- Amelia's eyes flew open as her back arched involuntarily, thrusting
- her hips out and opening herself to Patrick's exploring tongue. She wasn't
- expecting such a sudden change in his attentions, and this unpreparedness
- compounded the searing heat in her loins. His fingers penetrated the soft
- folds of her labia, searching for and spreading her natural lubrication. The
- tip of his tongue buried itself just above her clitoris and, having found the
- rapidly swelling organ, began circling it. His lips teased as well, sucking
- gently then kissing the little button of deep-pink flesh until it was nearly
- double its original size. Patrick balanced much of his weight on his elbows,
- which were atop Amelia's thighs, to keep her from bucking and finishing this
- game too soon...there were many more tricks to teach her before allowing her
- to reach her climax.
-
- "Patrick...more, please, more...can't take much more of this!" she
- begged. Her whole body seemed numb, all her senses centred on the remarkable
- feelings his tongue and fingers were eliciting. He slipped his tongue into
- her vagina, savoring the sweetness that was almost overpowering. He could
- feel her muscles contract in an involuntary effort to drag his face even
- closer than he already was, and knew it was time to give her what she (and
- he) both wanted.
-
- Patrick pulled himself to his knees and gazed into the fevered eyes
- and flushed face of the beautiful girl who had become a part of his life in
- an incredibly short time. She sincerely liked him, he could tell...and he
- liked her *very* much. The emotional always enhanced the physical...
-
- "Please, don't stop now, I need you, Patrick! I want you to make love
- to me." Her simple plea was a ragged whisper, and her hips twitched in
- anticipation of his next move. He grasped them and lifted them and positioned
- the tip of his penis at the glistening entrance of her vagina. With infinite
- slowness, and great care to prevent her hips from moving, he penetrated her
- completely. Her creamy folds engulfed his length, and he could see her now-
- protruding clitoris quiver in hopes of direct stimulation. Patrick massaged
- her buttocks firmly and tightly, and began to grind himself into her; he
- withdrew reluctantly, then pulled her to him as he thrust. He felt her legs
- encircle him and draw him closer, but he retained his control and refused to
- put down her hips. Her vagina was tight, but her natural secretions made it
- wet and inviting.
-
- He placed one hand under the small of her back and brought the other
- around front. Her quiet moans crescendoed as he used his thumb to rub her
- clitoris, and he felt her body shake. Amelia pulled herself forward and
- grabbed Patrick's head, drawing him to her waiting, open mouth. He moved
- slowly downward, releasing her lower body and hugging her to him as he reached
- for her kiss; as their lips met he began thrusting methodically and deliber-
- ately, increasing his tempo quickly. Their pelvises ground together and their
- legs entwined and, after that well-timed kiss, their eyes remained locked.
-
- The intensity of their rythmic coupling made them lose track of time.
- Amelia felt the first tiny quivers of orgasm building and tightened her hold
- on Patrick's back. He followed her pace, allowing himself to loosen his
- restraint and begin his own climb towards release. Waves of excitement and
- sexual heat rippled through her spine and focused on her vagina as his penis
- stroked her insides faster and faster: her clitoris seemed to reach out to
- him and was rewarded with a throbbing assault by his pelvic bones. His
- testicles slapped against her with every thrust, and the backs of her thighs
- and her buttocks were brushed and tickled by his thick nest of pubic hair.
-
- Breathing heavily, and hearing his blood scream in his ears, Patrick
- forced himself to hold back until he felt her vagina constrict against him,
- proof of her own orgasm. It was vitally important to him to make this good
- for Amelia, and watching the look on her face as she climaxed would enhance
- his own enjoyment. She was caught up in the incredibly fast pace of their
- lovemaking, and was thrusting back as strongly and eagerly as he. The
- seeming innocence in her eyes created the strangest sensation of longing in
- him, made him want to hold her forever and satisfy her every desire; that
- last he could do, obviously -- he grinned, then grimaced as a spark of
- urgency spurred him on to even more furious lunges.
-
- "Pat, I'm cumming...I'm cumming!" shrieked Amelia, clawing him to her
- and locking him between her legs. She bucked and pushed against his back,
- driving him even further inside her. His testicles demanded release, and
- he drove into her with a shudder.
-
- "Amelia...so good...oh, God, Amelia..." he breathed as he felt his
- semen shoot through the tip of his penis and into her quaking vagina. They
- lay tangled together until they fell asleep.
-

-
- "Good morning, sleepyhead." Patrick whispered into Amelia's ear. It
- would soon be time to be made up for the morning's filming and his sixth
- sense for time had awoken him on schedule. Her honey-colored hair fanned
- across her cheek, and he brushed it away as she opened her eyes. She saw
- him and smiled, then stretched and looked for all the world like a sleepy
- kitten.
-
- "Hmm...I almost thought last night was just a dream, Patrick. I feel
- so *good* this morning!" she purred, "...and hungry." as an afterthought.
-
- "Well, you should be hungry, after all that exercise." he teased.
-
- "I never would have believed it would be like this if anyone had told
- me...I'd always heard it would be painful." mused Amelia.
-
- With a start Patrick turned: "You're not telling me this was your
- first time?" The incredulity on his face made her laugh.
-
- "Yes, Patrick, you `deflowered' me!" quipped she with much amusement.
-
- "Oh, Amelia, I'm sorry -- I had no idea, you should have told me -"
-
- "Patrick," she interrupted, "I wanted you as much as you wanted me. I
- still want to be with you, to go out with you, to stay in with you. I like
- what you taught me about myself, and I appreciate the fact that you were
- gentle even though you didn't know I'd never done it before. I guess I've
- just never wanted to before...you're the only man I've ever been this com-
- fortable with and I don't want you to feel guilty about making me feel good!"
-
- With a slow smile Patrick held out his arms and she snuggled against
- him eagerly. "I suppose I'm too old-fashioned to take the surrender of your
- virginity that lightly. I like you, Amelia, and that could turn into some-
- thing more with time. And Heaven knows we have time!"
-
- "You never know...but I'd like to have you teach me about some of the
- finer points of lovemaking. I'm sure I can be a good pupil." she said as she
- pulled away and started to rise; "Why don't we practice again tonight?"
-
- "You know, they say you're a natural..."
-
