Unexpected Pleasures

JENNIFER TALLIN

I wanted to fuck Henry from the first time I saw him. I work as the curator at a local gallery, and he is an up-and-coming artist who was introduced to me by a mutual acquaintance. Sally had given me his portfolio in advance, and I was impressed. His work was rich with texture and color, and bold in subject matter. I had expected to meet a tough, testosterone-heavy artist with an attitude. Trust me when I say I have met my share over the years.

Henry was different. I knew he was hoping to get his work shown at the gallery, but as soon as I laid eyes on him, I found myself hoping for something else. I wanted to suspend him from the wall in my bedroom, hook his cuffed wrists in place, cut his clothes off his body and let him feel the wrath of my power.

Of course, I did not say any of those things to Henry. All I said, as I shook his hand, was, “Pleased to make your acquaintance.”

“The pleasure’s all mine,” he replied.

“That’s what you think,” I said under my breath.

Henry let his eyes work up and down my body. He seemed to flush when I did not release his hand right away, but I was satisfied when he did not immediately look at the floor. There was a connection between us. He felt it, too.

Our friend in common was completely oblivious. Sally blathered on about what a fine gallery I ran, how the elite players considered the art on my walls to be some of the best. She worked her way around the room, commenting on what a good fit she felt Henry’s creations were. She seemed to have no idea that Henry and I were engaged in a little game called “let’s size each other up.”

When she was finished with her tour, our friend finally shut her mouth. She looked at Henry and then looked at me. Quietly, she said, “I think I’ll let the two of you get to know each other better.”

“Good idea,” I said. Henry remained silent.

When Sally left the gallery, I turned to the young artist. “I would be happy to host your show,” I told him. “I had already decided that based on your portfolio before we even met.”

Henry started to speak, I suppose to thank me, but I stopped him.

“I wanted to get that business out of the way, because I have a few personal questions for you.” As I spoke, I locked the gallery’s door and flipped our artistic sign so that it read CLOSED on the other side. Henry’s art portfolio lay open on my desk. I wanted Henry open just like that. I looked at him. He bit his lip.

“Do you have a girlfriend?” I asked.

He shook his head.

“Boyfriend?”

“I’m not gay.”

“Then what are you?”

He drew in a breath, and I could imagine what he would look like when he came. I do not know how I knew, but I had an instant flash in my mind, Henry with his head thrown back, his eyes closed, his whole body taut.
