Naughty Neighbors: Aural Delights and Pleasure Pains

May Akemi, Sensacao Na Pele, Liu Gang

The thin wall between our bedrooms was no barrier at all, but a conduit for every sigh and whisper that escaped May’s lips next door. I could hear the soft, rhythmic creak of her bed, a fragile music that painted vivid pictures in the dim quiet of my own room. Her breath would catch, a sharp, beautiful intake of air that spoke of a pleasure so intense it was almost a pain. Each muffled gasp from her was a delicate torture, a secret I was forced to share against my will. Liu’s low, murmuring voice was a steady counterpoint to her rising, melodic whimpers, a duet of intimacy that left me achingly alone. I pulled my blanket tighter, as if its thin fabric could shield me from the raw emotion spilling through the plaster. The air itself felt charged, thick with a passion that was not mine to claim, yet I was its captive audience. A hot, helpless jealousy coiled in my stomach, tangled with a strange, vicarious thrill I was ashamed to feel. I closed my eyes, trying to block out the sounds, but they only grew louder, more desperate, more beautiful. In the heavy silence that finally fell, I was left with only the echo of her ecstasy and the hollow ache of my own solitude.
