I wasn't looking for anyone, just riding my bike for all I was worth. The equatorial sun was welcome and brutal on my skin. Wind rushing past cooled me as I strove to sweat just a little more with each kilometer. Almost there, I thought, although I couldn't know just how there I would indeed end up.
My usual Friday morning hangout, the Salon, served a decent omelet and as I provided the locals with their usual thrill (due to my state of undress and sweat soaked body), I sat down to order.
This strange place had intoxicated me from the very beginning of my tenure. Exotic scents, different and not too satisfying tastes, and the beguiling women. Dark and lovely, they at the same time beckoned with large almond eyes and resisted with close drawn veils. The classic definition of torture, desire unfulfilled. Anyway, the omelet had arrived and so had my future descent into darkness, and strangely enough, she was a being of light.
This woman eclipsed what had become usual. I looked at her next to me. Brown hair, pale blue eyes, and a gaze that spoke of restraint and an asking, though hidden even from her. I knew in that instant that she deserved nothing less than my complete attention, and Dominance. Realizing that my search for one that matched my depths was a lie; the light was what I craved, and on this hot and blinding morning, I finally saw clearly. She would feed my soul, and I would be sated at last.
The unfortunate usual beginning conversation had, however, a low level thrill that came from the mutual knowledge of what would surely come in time. She had a body that spoke of endurance, and my minds eye began to see how such a one could receive all the delicious pain/pleasure that I could provide. All these thoughts and more passed through me with a chill. "Call me sometime", was all that I said at parting.
