Renaissance Man

Synopsis:   An eros about a mentalist/illusionist who makes money on the side doing a number of odd jobs.  He is known as ‘Graham the Great’ when he is street performing, whether doing card tricks, pulling rabbits out of hats or reading people’s minds.   All the gals seem to adore him, but the only one he has eyes for is a woman who gives him generous amounts of money just to be dazzled by his acts.   Her name is Diana Kassowitz.   

Chapter 1--The ‘Everywhere’ Man

Graham Goetz was a man of excessive talent.   There wasn’t anything he couldn’t do, well, except make aspic.   The cooking aspect of gelatin eluded him somehow.    Other than this, he was a virtual whiz at just about anything and everything.   Being an illusionist had its perks and many people knew his name.   However, it wasn’t ‘Vegas style’ notoriety.   It was simple, humdrum, ho-hum, mundane, ‘Hi Mom, I’m on Youtube’ celebrity status, which was enough, but it didn’t pay the bills.   So, in order to keep a roof above his head in his modular home and keeping his car payment up, he had odd jobs around town.   

One day, Graham was in his typical tux and tie, performing feats of illusion.   There was a darling Jewish lady with a knockout body that passed his way.   Her brown eyes met his amethyst ones and they locked.   They felt a surge of heat, electricity, desire, excitement and ecstasy in that picosecond their eyes met.   Inexorably drawn to his charismatic grin, Diana sauntered closer by to watch him perform.  

Diana had seen this handsome goyim somewhere before.   He had volunteered at the local humane society and the animals simply adored him.    They trusted him and he was the resident Saint Francis.  His spirit and laughter were contagious.   In fact, Diana Kassowitz remembered Graham bought her kitty Plinko from him only months ago.   She hadn’t recognized him in his showman’s get up.   To be honest, Graham really cleaned up decently and looked lava hot to her.   She couldn’t stop blushing, especially when their eyes met for the second time.  

Graham called her forward to try a trick.   This was a typical spiel that illusionists would use as a ‘fake out’.   Their distraction was always a gorgeous damsel, and Diana certainly fit the bill in every aspect.    All the watchers were astonished.

‘Here’s a little extra.  I haven’t been that entertained in a good long while, Everywhere Man.’, a fellow patron said, giving him a few extra dollars for impressing him.  Some patrons even gave him twenties and there was a small faction that felt extra generous and gave him Grants.   

‘Gee, thanks.   If I keep raking in tips like this, I can retire from illusions for a bit.’, Graham thanked his legions of businessmen followers.   He left them hanging on his every word and begging for more.  He knew when to reel them in too, especially for a repeat performance.  

‘I didn’t expect to see you out here.   What was your name again ? Oh, yes.  Diana !’, Graham said, observantly.    Diana tittered, unable to help herself.   Graham was extremely charming and he had a smile that could be mistaken for the sun itself in brilliance.    

‘So, ‘Everywhere Man’.  That must be quite a rep to live up to.’, Diana said as she walked alongside him.    He didn’t live far from the city square and used his bicycle to commute to most of his jobs.   Even though he was well dressed, he was frugal, practical and saving up enough money to have a house where he could invite his friends over for a pool party during the weekends.

‘Not really.  I have a lot of stamina and energy.  I like helping people, so that’s what I do.’, Graham explained, matter-of-factly.   He chuckled; his smile was a breath of fresh air to Diana.  She had never felt this airy before, or happy.  Just being around him was cheerfulness incarnate.  

‘Would you like to go out on a date sometime ?’, Diana said, taking the initiative.   Graham raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed, amused and taken by the woman’s confidence.  

‘Do birds fly ?  Sure, I do !’, Graham said.    Diana laughed, finding herself even more enchanted by his sense of humor, quick wit and suave moves.    They exchanged cell numbers and set up a time to meet.   As far as the date was concerned it would be a mystery and they’d make it up as they went along.   Things were about to become interesting.   

Chapter 2--Despacito  

The two dressed for an elegant night out at a dancing studio where they would be learning new moves to popular songs that had just come up.   It was mainly Latin music, so Graham and Diana would be close together.    They swore that they were making love every time their bodies met and they couldn’t keep their eyes off each other.     Their lips nearly touched during the tango they danced.    At the end of the class, though sweaty, they swigged water together and dabbed their foreheads, relishing the intimacy they shared.    

Diana and Graham got the chance to chat at a quaint Indian restaurant that was owned by Diana’s college friend Seema.   She didn’t stick her nose into their business, but she did think that they were perfect for each other.   She even whispered the word ‘kismet’ in Diana’s ear, which made her turn hot and lower her gaze.   She had to admit, Seema knew how to call a ‘relationship made in heaven’.    Things like this typically happened in story books or Bollywood film, but they were known to happen in reality once in a blue moon.  

‘Seema seemed very sweet.  I can see why you two were the best of friends.’, Graham said.  

‘She introduced me to her friend Mandeep.   What Seema didn’t realize at the time was this hunk of a man already had a girlfriend, but Mandeep was keeping that info on the downlow.’, Diana said, incredibly embarrassed.    Graham patted her on the shoulder.   

‘I’m sorry.   I can imagine you were heartbroken.’, Graham said.    

‘Yeah, I was.   I bawled for a while but then I overcame my sorrow.   I’m such a softie.’, Diana said, mock bonking herself in the head for her amorous blindness.    That sadness that she had felt had melted away quickly with Graham holding her hands and savoring the look of sublimity on Diana’s face as he fed her chicken masala.    Now all that was left was to put a cap on a perfect day, and Diana had the best ending to this red letter date.   

Chapter 3--Lightening the Mood with a Bollywood Love Story  

Graham had always been intrigued by Bollywood but he had never seen a film from India before.   Diana was a bit Hinduwani so she felt taking him to Shah Rukh Khan’s feature film Jab Harry Met Sejal that he was compelled to see why Diana loved him so much.    Bravely during the film, Graham took a hold of Diana’s hand and stroked it with his thumb.  

‘SRK isn’t going to be our third wheel is he ?’, he joked.   

‘No.  Not at all.’, Diana said as she squeezed his hand reassuringly.   She felt her heart pacing quickly but still, it was the most serene she had ever been with anyone.   

Right before Graham dropped Diana off at her place, she felt passion overtake her.  

She kissed him fully on the lips, feasting upon them as nourishment.    Graham lost all aspects of time and space for a moment and felt his knees go slack.   

‘I take it you had a tremendous night then ?’, he asked, wriggling his eyebrows.  

‘Certainly did.   I hope we have many more dates in the future, I had a blast !’, Diana confessed.    Graham returned the kiss, dipping her romantically.  It was so much better in real life than anything depicted in romcoms.    He winked at her.   

‘Next weekend, then ?’, he queried.

‘Yes !   Indubitably !   I wait with bated breath !’, Diana said as she nearly fumbled her keys upon reentering her home.    Graham giggled and waved as he walked away, nearly floating as he departed.    He slept as if he were sleeping in the clouds that night, riding the high of endorphins until the weekend approached and he was still feeling extraordinary by then.   

Chapter 4--I’ve Never Done This Before

Graham had never fallen for anyone this hard before.  He had savored being single for so long he had forgotten the company of a woman.    He had loved and lost but those experiences only made him stronger over time.   Diana was different from anyone else.   She made him laugh, challenge his thinking and overcome phobias that had been holding him back in the past.    She knew Graham had flourished immensely and found him all the more attractive the more she got to know him.   

Graham had taken Diana on a road trip quite a distance from their home and found a pleasant motel close by.   

‘Man I am totally zonking out.’, Diana said.    Graham had to admit that in the moonlight, Diana’s skin was irresistible.   

‘Can’t we stay awake ?  I want to hear your sweet voice a little more.’, Graham said as he inched closer to Diana.   His skin lightly brushed against her’s and she could feel the tingle of his breath upon the nape of her neck.   It made her shiver with contentment.   She grasped his hand in her’s and stroked it.   Leaning over and whispering in Graham’s ear, she shifted her body back and forth, her passion beginning to become stoked.  

‘Graham, I want you.   The thing is, I have never been with a man before…’, she began.   Graham turned hot and felt his skin burning.  He hadn’t been with a woman either, but he reassured her that he would be nothing but gentle with her.  

He undressed her slowly, deliberately, kissing her from head to toe, admiring her frame.   Diana had to gawk at his hard rod beneath his briefs.   She had never seen a man naked, save  in her art class but even Graham’s piece was much bigger and broader than the model’s had been.    

Eager, she pinned him on the bed and slowly guided his hard chode into her womanhood.   Graham had felt like he was almost going to explode having taken in Diana’s beauty for so long but he was surprised her pussy was so wet he slipped inside her without trying.    At first, he thrust slowly, penetrating her G-spot.   She moaned ecstatically, compensating for him.   The cowgirl position seemed perfect for them both but he changed the position to an even deeper penetration for her enjoyment.  Even though he didn’t know how to make love, he found it easier than riding a bike and the analogy was very appropriate.  

Chapter 5--Like A Well Oiled Machine, Literally

It seemed that even after hours of their first experience, Diana was still salivating for more sex.   Graham didn’t want to admit he was starting to get tired.   Just seeing her glistening with sweat made him horny again.   His dick had awoken from its slumber and saluted her pristine voluptuous body.    

‘I bet after a long day you’d like a massage.’, he offered.   

‘Certainly !  I’d love that.  You’re so thoughtful.’, she said, nibbling his ear and blowing in it rather suggestively.    He was certain he felt his sword twitch in anticipation.  What was it about this woman that drove him to the brink of madness ?, he mused.   Not that Graham was complaining but no other woman could make him feel so utterly incredible.   Her intimacy with him was sublime and he wanted to experience it yet again, but he felt it was too soon.  

‘No, no, no.  Don’t worry so much.  Just let go and whatever will be, will be !’, he chanted within himself.    With that mantra ringing true in his heart, he began massaging Diana, who was still au natural.    His willie was still harder than concrete.   It couldn’t be helped, Diana was absolutely spellbinding and in the moonlight, he was totally transfixed.    

Gently, he grasped her from behind and began to penetrate her, doggy style.  

‘Ah !’, she gasped, not expecting him to come inside her again.   

‘You’re so big...I’m surprised you’re not hurting me or tearing me apart !’, Diana said, in a state of pure sensuality and awe.  Graham would never harm his love, but he couldn’t control how fiercely his hips moved.   Before he knew it, his hips were gyrating as if he were on the floor at the dance class once again  and he was speaking in tongues.   He had come hard, grasping Diana a bit too enthusiastically.    She howled again, collapsing under him.    He removed himself from her and held her tightly.  

‘I wasn’t too vigorous, I pray.’, Graham said.

‘No, but this makes our relationship all the more interesting.’, Diana admitted.   

The two snuggled together and plotzed, totally wiped out from a night of intense, explosive sex.   

Epilogue

Some people might say faery tales are simply that, made up tales with no real basis in real life.   Diana and Graham were a prime example of how faery tales were real and that love at first sight existed.   It happened over time, but it was obvious how the two felt for each other.   Over time, they only grew closer and the flames only burned brighter.    They are probably under a sea of stars, making passionate love under a blanket somewhere, warmed by each other and hot apple cider.   Wherever they are, kismet brought them together and their merriment only multiplies.    This is the power of true love and everyone experiences it in one way or another.   You might think that’s a rather unusual statement but love comes to us all and binds us together, helping us realize that it is love, not money, that causes our world to turn and makes the world a better place in which to live.
