Sally would go jittery if she went
three days without Lex. It used to be three days without sex, but that part of her life was such a disaster
lately that she relegated those thoughts to the recesses of her mind. Online Scrabble, Lexulous, is the free
version she played, was a relaxing way to end her day, but her only regular online friend,
Terrific Tony, had told her that he was going to some kind of entreprefuckingneurship meeting
tonight and expected to get home about midnight. Yeah, right, he was more likely to be checking out the price
of pros after nine than the cost of computer chips.
Oh well, there was always a friend online, even it was a someone who you hadn't met yet. She sat
down at her MacBook, logged into Lexulous, and found her favorite haunt, the Paradise Hotel.
Sally liked the name, it had the dirty allure of the Hotel California, and the clean relaxation of the
pools at a Hawaiian resort.
Sally's first reaction was dismay -- all the players had coupled up and were either happily playing
or struggling with too many vowels. An "available" new name popped up as she scanned the screen.
Fantasy Lex, with a 1900 rating. That was enough to give her a run, so she reflexively
challenged, and in seconds Fantasy Lex was in the game.
Quick chats preceded her first turn.
"Hi, you come here often?"
"Sure do, hang out here every night. Haven't seen you before."
"I'm more of a No Work kind of guy. Trying to get lucky somewhere else tonight."
"Get too lucky and I'm sending you back to No Work Resort. The blanks have my name on them."
"Really, your name is "fill in the blank?"
"Yes, but you can call me Sally. Game is on."
"I'm ready, Hey, double points for dirty words."
Sally had been playing dirty word Scrabble since she was ten -- the players and the words had changed, and she knew Lex wouldn't really give double points, but said, "Hey right back, you're on."
Sally was enjoying the banter of the new opponent, and she liked the looks of her letters too. Nothing like shocking a newby with a BINGO out of the box, and she was sure she had one. E-l-a-t-i-o-, damn, no N. F-e-l-l-a-t-i-o, oh no, that is just too weird. Can I put that down in front of a guy I just met online who proposed we play dirty word scrabble? No way. But I don't even know if Fantasy Lex is a guy. Fantasy Lex could be a girl, or a dog. Sally thought of the iconic New Yorker cartoon. "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog." And then looked at the possible score line. 78, 28 plus 50 for the eight letter BINGO. And he would get a laugh at the dirty word double. She asked for the double points in a quick chat and was surprised to not get an immediate response. He was back to being a HE in her mind. How could she not think of a man with a word like fellatio. She wondered if she was playing with a person with a cock that had ever been fellated.
Wham, back he came with G-e-n-i-t-a-l-s for 70. Hmm. Not quite a dirty word, and a great response. Most players would have gone for the easy S-l-a-n-t i-n-g. How wacky, though, was this sequence.
Fuck, Sally had two U's. She hated them without a Q. Well, F-u-c-k then, a lousy score without a double, 15, but wait a minute.
Lex had her at 216, not 108 on the scorepad. It was double points for dirty words scrabble. But how the hell did that happen. Did Fantasy Lex have anything to do with it?
And Sally just noticed how close that name was to Fantasy Sex. What was going on?
S-u-c-k followed Fuck as relentlessly as night follows day. Didn't hit the double, but it was double on the scoredboard. FUCK, SUCK, Sally could focus on words, she loved words, but the words were morphing into sex . What was Fantasy Lex up to? Clearly he was controlling the board, and it felt like he was controlling her too. The sexual references started flowing through her hand and onto the board.
P-e-n-i-s worked into Genitals. J-o-h-n-s-o-n was S-u-c-k-e-d in. Q-u-i-m crossed fellatio and the game went on in a blinding blur of S-e-x, S-e-x, S-e-x. At the tenth word, Sally forgot about the score. By the twelfth she had her left hand down her pants. Still the words came quickly and easily. She wished there were
enough letters for cunnilingus.
Fantasy Lex was relentlessly sexual. Even while he was placing less suggestive BINGOs like S-l-i-p-p-e-r-y, he chatted side whispers. "Do it babe." "Come on". Back at the board he intersected R-u-b-s, and B-r-e-a-s-t-s in the same turn.
Sally leaned back and did just that, she wondered where the magic in LEX came from, but she had, in truth thought of sex every time she played Lex with
Terrific Tony. Fantasy Lex had just taken it to a new level. F-l-i-t , C-l-i-t. She shivered
at his audacity as he emptied his rack with a final bingo O-r-g-a-s-m-i-c, orgasmed herself,
and fell exhausted on her MacBook.
Sally awoke moments later in a daze. Fantasy Lex had left the Paradise Hotel. To hell with her old friends, Sally wanted another competition with Fantasy Lex She frantically searched for him at the No Work Resort. Speedy Circuit, The Oasis. Not a trace anywhere. Sally didn't want to give up on this experience easily. Quickly Sally checked an urgent, "Sssst" on her "Friends" chat pad. "Did you enjoy your game tonight? I loved it."
