She tapped her nails on her desk waiting for Lilly to give her to okay. "Finally." She sighed as she hit play on her program and the sexy voice of Lilly's boyfriend flowed from her speakers. Some found it strange that her intro for her evening radio show was the voice of her best friend's boyfriend but she refused to have it made by anyone else. After all it did fit her so well. Her eyes scanned over the screen, keeping track of the incoming requests as she decided what she would say.
Taking a breath she turned on her microphone and in the soft sexy voice that made her one of the stations top Djs she spoke softly, " Good evening all my darling deviants, you are now in the realm of silk and sin, so sit back and enjoy." After listing the chat rooms she was in and other things she had to say she turned off the microphone and sat back in her chair.
"It's going to be one of those nights, I can see it now." she shook her head, watching the normal parade of idiots and ass kissers that seems to be the norm in these rooms.
A smile spread as a message from Lilly popped up on her screen. "Hey Star, remember that guy that used to dj for us? The one you had a crush on? Well guess who just came on." Star blinked at the screen, looking through the channels to find his name. There it was, the man she had lusted over after her shadow lover had vanished, the thought of Darius brought a sigh, how she missed him and the things he made her feel. It had been months since the night he had kissed her on her doorstep and she was sure that part of her life was over. "Okay off that mind frame, it's his loss after all." she murmured to herself.
Placing her hands on the keyboard, she typed out a greeting to Mal "hello there darling, long time no see. Where did you vanish too?" She smiled when he called her kitten and said he had missed her. The time flew as they talked, as her show drew to a close he said his goodbyes and she spoke for the last time. "This is DJ Starlight, signing off for the night, and wishing all our listeners the darkest dreams, until we meet again." She laughed at Mal's last comment before he left, that's right sweetheart, until we meet again. She turned off the laptop, and sat back in the silence of her living room.
She jumped, nearly falling over backwards as her cat leaped onto her shoulder. "Well hello there Jinkz, trying to tell me its bedtime?" the sleek black cat jumped down and walked toward the bedroom, stopping to meow at her. "Okay okay fuzzy lets go." She followed the cat into the bedroom, sitting on her bed to remove her shoes before grabbing her robe, running her fingers down Jinkz's back as she headed into the bathroom craving a hot bath full of bubbles. As the steam and scent of vanilla filled the room, she slipped out of her clothes and submerged herself in the hot water, a sigh of pure pleasure passing her lips. "Oh that's nice." grabbing her headphones she sank into the water and lost herself in the music.
She woke with a shiver, the water cool; she nearly jumped from the tub and grabbed a fluffy towel. "Wow I must have been tired" she said with a yawn. Drying her body and applying her lotion she sang softly to herself. "Jinkz, kitty kitty?" Walking into her bedroom she was surprised that the cat was not curled up in the middle of the bed. "Where are you kitty, I'm not getting up to let you in if you don't get your ass in....... "She trailed off as her eyes locked on her pillow and the single blue rose lying there. Memories flooded back, feelings she had tried to push away and drown in anger rushed to the surface and the tears began to fall. She sat on the edge of her bed holding that rose, looking around for any sign he was there but knowing somehow that she was alone in the room. "Damn it Darius, why..." She spoke to the shadows as she laid her head on her pillow and cried herself to sleep.
She jerked awake and looked at the clock, with a growl she rolled back over and pulled the blanket over her head. "3 a.m. why am I awake at 3 am?" She sighed and tried to relax, to shut her mind off enough to drift back to sleep.
"Perhaps your body knew I was here?" a voice spoke. "My rose made you cry sweetheart, I didn't intend that." Darius spoke to her in a soft whisper.
Star sat up and glared at him. "Get out!" She growled, "I don't want you here I'm done with the games and I'm done with being nothing more then a toy." She bit her lip to hold back the tears that burned her eyes and threatened to spill down her cheeks. "Please leave," she whispered as she rolled over and curled into a small ball under her blanket.
His fingers tangled in her hair and turned her to face him. "I'm not leaving kitten, now come here." He slid his arms under her and pulled her up onto his lap. "I'm sorry I wasn't here, but life happened, we both had things we needed to deal with before anything could continue." He held her close and kissed the top of her head softly. She tried hard to remain stiff against his chest, wanting to be angry at him, wanting to lash out and scream at him for hurting her, for making her cry. But in the end her heart won and she relaxed in his arms. He smiled against her hair. "Still my kitten?" he asked softly.
She lifted her head to look into his ocean colored eyes and smiled as he wiped away her tears. "Yes Master, always." He leaned down and kissed her, his mouth taking possession of hers, demanding her submission, she moaned into the kiss, his taste and the feel of his lips decadence more sinful then anything she could remember and she indulged fully in the pleasure it gave her.
He broke the kiss and looked down into her eyes as he turned and laid her back on the bed, stretching out beside her as he pulled her into his arms. "Sleep sweetheart." She looked at him and whimpered softly. He placed a finger over her lips and whispered, "Hush kitten I will be here when you wake." She smiled and closed her eyes, content to sleep in the safety of his arms for the first time.
A single ray of sunlight found it way through the curtains and streaked across her face. With a growl she rolled over and put the pillow over her head, wanting to sleep for another week. Darius. She sat up and looked around, had she just imagined last night? Had it just been a wonderful dream? She smiled as she saw the shirt lying on her chair. So it wasn't a dream. She hopped out of bed and wrapped her body in her red satin robe and walked into the living room. She smiled as she saw him in her chair, typing away with Jinkz purring happily on his lap. It was funny how easily he seemed to fit into her normal life.
