CHAPTER ONE
1 "He Said; She Said" is Solomon's supremely sensual Song of Songs:
2-6 She said: "Kiss me! Kiss me! Thrust your tongue into my mouth so that I may suck your juices that taste sweeter than wine. Your very name 'Solomon' evokes the heady aroma of ointments accentuating the rank masculinity of your body fragrance. No wonder all those young virgins love you and are so jealous of me! So, charm me! Enchant me! Entice, lure, and seduce me! Then, all of us will race after you and be laid on the royal bed in waves of ecstasy while rejoicing in a climax of love savored more than vintage wine. No wonder you are loved by all the maidens - and by some young men, too! And by me, black though I may be. Now hear this, Girls of Jerusalem: Black is beautiful. After all, it's like the lush, dark leather of the tents of Kedar as well as like the thick, swarthy, ebony hair growing around the monstrous glory of Solomon's secret parts. Don't stare at me just because I'm black, Girlfriends! It's only a dark tan. You see, those motherfucking homeboys forced me on my knees to tend their grapes under a hot sun to the neglect of my own vineyard."
7 Turning back around to speak to King Solomon, she said: "Tell me, O Object of My Desire, where will you have lunch today as your flock rests? Why must I be part of a crowd of clinging companions when I could have you all to myself?"
8-11 He said: "If you don't already know, O Hottest Among Women, just follow the sheep. Let your goats graze near the shepherds' tents. You are like a mare in heat, a prime filly worthy enough to be ridden by Pharaoh, though he is said to be an ass-man. Your cheeks are luscious and your neck invites the kisses of my lips. My tongue caresses your ear lobes as I make ready to adorn them with golden earrings and silver studs."
12-14 She said: "Lie beside me, smell the perfume of my femininity and let your eyes savor my pulchritude. You are a rare vial of myrrh I crave to snuggle between my breasts as I swallow your throbbing member between my legs the whole night through. Your seed spurts sweetly into me like the petals of henna blossoms falling in the gardens of Engedi."
15-17 He said: "Just look at how stunningly beautiful you are - entrancing and enchanting! Your eyes hypnotize me, my beloved. Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I as I yearn for a furtively grasped orgasm with you as we lie on a bed of soft, green grass. I become frantic as I dream of plunging deep inside you with my rod as hard as Lebanese cedar and my family jewels swaying in the breeze like boughs of fir."
CHAPTER TWO
1 She said: "I am the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley." 2 He said: "Yes, my love, when surrounded by other maidens, you are like a lovely lily or exotic flower among weeds." 3-7 Turning to the Girls of Jerusalem, she said: "Yes, and surrounded by other youths, he is like a fruitful tree in an otherwise barren forest. I fell to my knees in his shadow and tasted his sweet nuts with ravenous delight. He brought me to the banquet room and displayed the fruits of his pleasure. His love apples tempted me and drinking flagons of wine made us crazy in love. Having spent his seed within me, he fell asleep exhausted, his left hand still under my head and his right hand beneath me squeezing my buttocks. Girls, do not prance around like playful deer trying to disturb us! I like the feel of his member inside me, soft and flaccid though it may now be. Do not wake him until he is hard and aroused again. Let him sleep!"
