Low Flame


If She knew what was best for her, Mabel reasoned...She would have gone on home and that would have been that...She didn't have to come to Ralph Scallion's house...After all...She had paid him a visit at his restaraunt and had complimented him on his good cuisine...She owed him nothing more.

But people seldom know or do what is best for them...Do they? Mabel Jenkins couldn't get Ralph Scallion out of her mind..She just kept thinking about him..His laugh...His melodic voice, his smell , his muscular body and of course the great food...

Ralph on the other hand couldn't get Mabel Jenkins out of his mind...He dreamed of peeling her clothes off and devouring those lips, of burying his head into those huge breasts of hers..of making love to her until he was sweaty and spent...He got an erection just thinking about her...

He was pleasently surprised when she showed up at his home. Lucky for him, he had tidyed up.. Mabel was impressed...A single man with such a neat place...
A living room with a huge sofa...A simple Black lacquer coffee table...A 42 inch flat screen television hooked up to a Blu Ray and a cable box....

It was no surprise that he had an immaculate kitchen...He was afterall, like her a cook. He looked her up and down...She had on a white and peach colored sundress and sandals..She had her hair in a ponytail....and a warm cocoa butter
smelling body oil on her beautiful dark skin...He was turned on just looking at her.

"Well, you said you would teach me how to fix that Lobster Bisque....and well, here I am." laughed Mabel.

Ralph smiled...

"Hmmmm, I did indeed.....Well...Let me get my car keys...We have to go to the market..There are things we will need to pick up." He said.

She followed him to his car.....They drove to the market... They picked up 2 steamed fresh lobster tails ,4 tablespoons butter , 1 small white onion, finely chopped , 2 stalks celery, finely chopped , 2 cloves garlic, minced ,1/3 cup all-purpose flour , 3 cups chicken broth , 1/2 pound steamed medium size fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped , 2 cups half-and-half ,1 teaspoon Creole seasoning.

"Wow..you really know your ingredients." said Mabel.

"But of course...and I'm sure you know yours." he said in a voice that was so seductive, she found herself wanting to take her clothes off right then and there.

Once back at his house...She watched as Ralph Scallion removed the Lobster meat from it's shell, coarsely chopped it and set it to the side... His movemants were just saying "sex" as far as she was concerned.. In a large saucepan with a low flame, he melted butter, added onions, celery, garlic, cumin,paprika,chili powder and canyon and a touch of cooking wine...So this was his secret, she reasoned... 2 minutes later he stirred in chicken broth, stirring it occassionally
until it thickened...

"Would you like some wine, while we wait?" said Ralph...

Okay, now he was definitely trying to seduce her, she thought with a giggle...

"Sure" she found herself saying as he pulled out two big goblets and filled them with white wine... They toasted and he continued as she took notes...both on paper and with her eyes..

He added lobster meat and shrimps, he stirred in half and half of his creole seasoning, still keeping everything on a low flame...

"Okay..this will take about ten minutes." he said -"If I keep it on a low flame." he laughed as he took another sip of wine and moved a little closer to Mabel..

"Ten ....minutes...that seems like such a ....a...long time." whispered Mabel.

"Yes...it does doesn't it?" he said as he leaned in and kissed Mabel on her lips.
She didn't turn away...she returned his passion and continued to kiss him...He seemed as if he were trying to devour her lips....She liked it!

"Ohhhhh, I've waited so long to kiss you Mabel..." he moaned as they continued kissing passionately....

"I don't think this was part of the lesson.." Mabel cooed as he began kissing her neck and in between her breasts...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu...ohhhhhhh Ralph....please.." she moaned....

He slipped his hand up her dress....but she moved it away and slowly eased away from him...

"Whoooooo....oh wow...we'd better cool it...before... before we burn up the food."
sighed Mabel...

"Uhhhh, uggggh...y-yes....you're right...you're right .." he said.

She couldn't believe he was being such a gentleman about it...She could see the huge bulge in his pants..She knew he really wanted it...but she just couldn't...
It took all of the will power she had not to go any further.

"Ralph, I'm not a tease." she said.

"I know...you have a man and you're being true to him...I respect that..That's the kind of lady I'd want to have." he said.

"It's taking everything I have not to let you go further..I want you to know that..it's not like I don't want you to." said Mabel, feeling all kinds of bad.

"That's okay..Sit down...Let me serve you the Creole Shrimp and Lobster Bisque." he said as he refilled her glass of wine.

"Ohh my God....This tastes better than what I had in the restaraunt last night."
she said.

"I'm glad you like it...and you can never tell anyone that I taught you this recipe." he laughed.

"Your secret is safe with me." she laughed as they continued to eat and drink wine.

"Your male friend is a lucky man." said Ralph Scallion...

"He knows it." said Mabel with a smile.

An Hour later they walked to the door...

'Ralph ,I'm sorry." she said.

"In another time Mabel...don't even worry about it." he said.

She turned and for a minute she thought about changing her mind...but then she turned and got in her car and drove off...She had done the right thing this time...Why did the right thing always suck so much ? She thought as she drove off into the warm Philadelphia summer night!
