The reflection of the moon off the glass illuminated sad dark brown eyes, as they gazed at the sky in its nightly dance. Beyond those eyes, a mind worked through wishes, hopes, perhaps even dreams that always turned into nightmares. Racing through feelings that mind, comes to a conclusion and the dark eyes blink turning away from the light to the darkness within their life. There in inviting emptiness do the eyes close and a single tear makes its way down a cold pale cheek.
Athena had been here for a year and a day, trapped in her own misery. Sheâd lost everything she yearned for and only lived now day by day, in silence, hoping no one would notice her yet desperately praying every night for someone to take her into their arms and enwrap her in emotions that she feared were now all dead. She read about love, lust, passion; the words on the pages seemed to flow into her mind, slipping down her body, toying with her heart before causing her breath to leave her lungs as she uttered a soft moan tossing the litature away from her before her mind created another place for her to play in.
Leaning against the glass she placed a hand on her neck, pressing her fingers against her heightened heartbeat from just the thought of that happening to her, of someone reaching out pulling her against their body, whispering softly into her ear⌠The thought raised goose bumps up along her arm and she shivered, quickly snapping herself out of the dream, pushing off the window and padding to the middle of the room where she stood and turned in a circle, before wrapping her arms around her upper body, trying to keep herself warm.
Turning again, she noticed that the moonlight had crept in, illuminating the white walls, the green carpet, it even reached her canopy bed in the far corner, but stopped before it grazed her books, her source of pleasure, enlightenment, and curiosity. She thought it was odd that even the moon knew what to touch and what not to touch upon itâs searching of the bedroom.
Giggling, Athena, side stepped and left the moonlight, becoming one of the shadows as well, something that the moonlight and all of its illusions wouldnât touch.
Smiling, she turns to the bookcase and slips a finger along the many volumes there, counting all of her secret wonders, while her left hand traces its way through her hair, lifting the red mass of soft curls off her neck to accept the delicate kiss of the night air.
âYou spend too much time before that piece of furniture, my dear.â The clear resonating voice startled her, causing her to release a squeak and turn quickly, knocking several books from their place, but only to face nothingness.
Blinking several times she grasps the book she chose against her chest, staring hard at the softly lit room, trying hard to see the keeper of the voice, but turning up with nothing. Groaning she shook her head and muttered, âAthena, youâre going crazy.â
Sauntering to the bed, the book flops onto the silken sheets before she follows, sliding against the material feeling like a feline in doing so. Somehow in the back of her mind, this night was going to be different than every other.
Opening to the marked page she starts to read, feeling her mind slip away into itâs own little fantasy world, calling out for it in real life, calling for things that would almost be impossible to doâŚ
âVery beautiful name,â the purr in her ear made her start and jump a little. Her eyes went wide as her body felt the warmth of another, âHmm yes Very beautiful. Although it does describe you, my dear.â
Athena was too scared to turn aroundâŚto even try to look at the owner of that voice, of the body that she felt against her back, of the hand that was starting to move into her vision. She squeaked and closed her eyes tightly as the book was picked out of her hands and the thud of it hitting the floor sounded in her ears.
âNow, now, there is no need for that tonight, my Athena.â
âW-w-who a-a-are y-you?â her voice quaked with fear, with anticipationâŚ
âDoes it matter? I could be a figment of your imagination, or perhaps a sprite that came to help you with your wishes⌠Maybe Iâm a god, come to bless youâŚâ the words absorbed into her like water, a smooth liquid promise of something that she would taste for the rest of her life. Groaning she moved back against the body more, feeling what she thought was soft flesh yield no more and become hard lines against her back and buttocks. âI can be whatever you want me to, my little oneâŚâ
Another groan left her lips, âH-h-how d-did y-y-you get h-hereâŚâ she couldnât keep her heart from skipping a beat, from her body start to become pure fire as a hand moved down her stomach and placed itself in the valley of her legs.
âI could travel on the moonlight, I could have broken in and just became stunned by your beauty, wishing to have you if only for one nightâŚâ
Her mind screamed at her and her lips parted once again as she involuntarily pushed her hips so that her body would press against that hand, âOh goddessâŚâ she opened her eyes a little, and bit her bottom lip feeling the blush of innocence flow over her cheeks and down her body, sending more heat to the heart of the fire.
âNo, little one, you must not see meâŚNot yet⌠âWhispered the voice, becoming distinctly more male, with ever question and movement.
The hand moved away, a whimper of protest from her caused him to laugh, then she saw the blindfold come in front of her, and without any more protest she let him secure it around her, enveloping her world in darkness yet again, only this time the darkness didnât seem so bad.
âThere, little one, now, will you trust me, in everything I do?â
Athenaâs mind roamed around declining, not stepping over the boundary of pleasure and unknown, requesting the blindfold to be removed so she can see who was playing tricks with her, but instead she nodded, adding in a soft sensual whisper, âYes, oh yes!â
He laughed and slid from beside her, causing her to whine again and turn quickly over reaching out latching her hands around one of his wrists, âNow, now, little one,â he bent forward and whispered directly into her ear, releasing the fire again, followed closely with a soft moan, âI am the director here, You placed yourself into my hands, and for this night you will call me, Master.â
She felt her lip find its place between her teeth again as she slowly released him, not wanting him to go away, âAlrightâŚMasterâŚâ It seemed an odd thing to pass over her tongue but she liked it, she gave him power over herself, over her body, her soul, even her mind. She didnât know whether she could trust this decision but she was going to find out.
âOh, my Athena, that sounds lovely from you,â she felt his heat against her again and then the kiss move across her lips, arousing the flame even more within her, she arched under him, reaching her hands up⌠âNo, bring your hands above your head.â The tone was a bit sterner than all the other purring requests, making her do it. Drawing her hand high above her head, she crossed her wrists without thinking, tilting her head to where she thought his head would be, wetting her lips. âVery good.â The reward as she knew it would be was another arousing kiss.
