aphrodisiac by Littlewing1957
“C’mon Ennis open up!” It was Jack yelling at the top of his lungs at the front door of Don Wroe’s cabin.
“Listen, Friend, open the door! I got about 20 pounds of oysters to put in the fridge!” Ennis heard his husband, but was slow getting to the door as he was tidying the kitchen. When Ennis opened the massive wooden door a few seconds later, Jack almost dropped his burden. The sight of his sexy lover, standing there in jeans, sans shirt and barefoot almost drove Jack over the edge. Ennis was looking mighty fine!
Ennis stepped aside and allowed Jack to enter. He was carrying a broom and dustpan, but dropped them both to embrace his lover. Jack placed his gear carefully on the floor and faced Ennis full-on.
“Six long months!” Ennis whispered as he prepared for a long, hot, steamy kiss.
“Too long, Friend!” Jack mumbled as he snuggled closer, gestured for a smooch. Ennis kissed him gently at first, then harder, desperately. After he felt his lips beginning to swell, Jack stepped away and picked up his cooler. He knew the way to the kitchen, and once there, placed the oysters in the oversized fridge.
It didn’t take long for Jack to get settled. He put his things away, took an indulgent shower, changed into jeans and a T-shirt. Jack found Ennis in the living area reading the paper. He joined him on the couch, took his hand and held it.
“So what is this about oysters?” Ennis asked as he put the paper down on the coffee table.
“Well, I though I would cook us up some for supper.” Jack answered excitedly. He had never fixed seafood for Ennis, and decided to go for a change.
“How do you like your oysters, Friend?” Jack asked evenly. I can serve them on the half-shell, raw with hot sauce, or I can deep fat fry them. Sorry, Friend, but I don’t know any other fancy ways to fix oysters.” Jack laughed. “So how do you like yours?” Ennis squirmed and cleared his throat.
“Well, I don’t rightly know, Rodeo,” Ennis admitted nervously. “You see, I’ve never eaten oysters!” Ennis waited for Jack’s reaction. Jack thought nothing of it, really. He knew a lot of people who never had the inclination nor the opportunity to enjoy oysters. Jack squeezed Ennis’ hand.
“Well, since you’re a beginner, I had better deep fry ‘em!” Jack stated in a matter of fact way. “Raw on the half-shell is a real acquired taste. But I almost guarantee you’ll like my fried oysters!” With that said Jack rose from the couch and headed toward the kitchen. He looked back at his lover, who was watching his ass as he walked away.
“You want to come in and watch me cook the oysters?” Jack asked. "Cooking oysters is a very precise process; one I learned all about from Lureen,” Jack stated excitedly. Ennis smiled and joined his lover. Ennis watched as Jack shelled the fresh oysters and washed them off. He then seasoned them with a bit of salt and pepper, light on the salt. Next Ennis handed Jack a bowl to prepare an egg wash. Once the oysters were dredged in a mixture of flour, cornstarch and white cornmeal, Jack placed just a few at a time in hot oil to cook. Ennis was growing mighty hungry at the heavenly smell of the frying oysters. He made a salad and opened a tub of potato salad while Jack continued to cook.
Once the oysters were done, Jack and Ennis set the table and dug in. Ennis closed his eyes at the first bite of a crunchy, crispy oyster. He was unprepared for the soft center, and gasped at the flavor.
“These are really good, Rodeo!” Ennis muttered between bites. “These taste just like the sea; just like seafood should taste, if that makes any sense.” Jack nodded fondly.
“One thing I heard about oysters, Friend,” Jack began. “People say they’re good for the sex life.” Jack’s blue eyes began to twinkle as he noticed Ennis paused, an oyster suspended in his fingers.
“So eat up, En!” Jack enthused. I’m going to eat as many as I can to get my strength up for later!” Jack chuckled and winked at his lover. Ennis didn’t know what to say. But he had to admit to feeling a bit warm. He felt a stirring in his loins, and didn’t know whether to attribute the sensation to eating the oysters, or sitting right beside a sexy Jack Twist.
Ennis couldn’t believe he packed away 10 oysters! Jack ate quite a few as well, and was feeling quite randy. He hoped that Ennis wouldn’t need dessert….
