She walked the length of the terminal and looked at her watch and then at the arrival/departure display as if it would change anything. As if this futile pacing would make his plane get here any faster, faster or slower, she did not exactly know. And now that she had done it, finally consented to meet him, pushing aside all her misgivings and doubts, she was consumed with a bewildering mix of impatience and uncertainty.
She wondered about that; there was nothing she loathed more than being out of control, control of herself; control of her surroundings, and ultimately, the control of the few people she let get near her. And now she had allowed herself to be lured from her safe little controlled world and was letting someone get close to her for the first time in years, maybe ever. There was part of her that wanted to panic, turn around on the tall black heel of her gleaming leather boot and catch the first flight home.
It was madness, this was madness. That was the word she had used so many times in the past to argue herself out of this. He was too young. He was too far away. He was too inexperienced. He was foreign, he liked rap, and was a vegetarian and prayed to gods she had never even heard of. She had said to him a hundred, maybe a thousand times, that they could not be any more different.
He was a fucking virgin, for god's sake.
And she was old enough to be his mother, hell, older than that. And she was shit at relationships. She did not even want to think about her past.
But he was persistent, so persistent. At least a half dozen times she had deliberately stopped responding to his emails, hoping he would disappear into the vast anonymous sea that was the internet. But he kept struggling back to the surface, grasping at her with a desperate innocence she could not ignore. There was no way she could not reach out and take that hand.
It was that poignancy, that sweet needy innocence that kept her attention; that, and the smile and the laugh, and those eyes, and those hands. All of them spoke to her, made her hunger, made her want to sink her teeth into him and feed on that innocence.
So when he had pleaded to meet, to offer himself to her, to do all the things they had only spoken of, she had finally relented. Her last book had sold well and the advance for the next one was generous, and after all he had been the inspiration for that last book. She smiled a sharp hungry smile. If just talking with him was inspirational; she wondered how the words would flow with the taste of his blood in her mouth.
She told herself that it was just a meeting, a brief fulfillment of a fantasy, nothing more. She could even write it off as research for her next book. She would use him, abuse him, and show him that reality was not as sweet as dreams. And once she had plundered his soul, fed on him, she would be able to walk away. She told herself that once she had tasted him, he would no longer be so tempting. And the ruthless, violent part of her whispered that if she destroyed his innocence, it would not be there to charm her anymore.
His flight was late, and she had been waiting in the airport for an hour longer than she had anticipated. They were meeting half way, on a tropical island in the pacific. She had rented a small private kink friendly cottage far from the tourist crowds. There would be no one to hear him screaming, and she had every intention of making him scream and scream and scream.
Her heart was hammering in her chest and her mouth was dry as she peered at the tired passengers as they oozed from the plane. She felt almost disgusted with at this betrayal of her body. She was determined to be in control, to be cold, distant, and demanding, not some panting ridiculous old woman. Yet when she first saw him, and he saw her, and that wonderful smile broke across his face like the sun rising, she forgot to breathe.
As he approached, he loomed tall and even though she knew he was taller, man sized, it was a revelation to see him thus, in real life for the first time, not a voice and a picture on a computer screen. She could not help but reach out to touch him, the lightest caress on one cheek, to prove he was real, really there. At her touch, he trembled and breathed the word, "Ma'am."
Snatching her hand back she spoke tersely, "You have your instructions," and handed him her carryon luggage and turned away, her heels clicking on the smooth linoleum floor as she led the way to the luggage claim. He did have his instructions, at the airport and in the car he was not to speak and to obey her every command. Not once in the whole time together was he to ever touch her without her directing him too. He had promised to submit to anything she desired, everything she desired, that if he refused one time she would send him home and never speak with him again. She knew that she had been extreme in her demands, but in many ways she had hoped he would become afraid, take back his wish to meet her, set her free from this growing fear that she might have already lost her heart to him.
Her words were cool, and short, pointing out the suitcases that were hers, telling him to get his bag and put it with them while she got a porter and a car to take them to the rental. Carefully following his instructions, without words he nodded that he understood and turned to watch for his bag. He frequently turned to look at her, and she knew that he was doing the same things she was doing. Somehow resolving this living breathing human being with the person he had grown to love on the computer screen.
He had only one bag as per her instructions to bring little with him, that all his needs would be provided for. She had been adamant that he not bring any gifts for her. The only thing she had insisted he pack were the pajamas, the ones he had worn from the beginning as they had spoken on the web cam. Funny brown print without any special erotic meaning, they had come to symbolize more. Whenever she had closed her eyes and visualized him, they were there, hanging from his broad shoulders.
The sights out the window must have been breathtaking but she did not remember any of them. She sat carefully rigid on her side of the back seat, barely watching him out of the corner of her eye. Twice she caught him looking back, and their eyes met, fathomless inky black meeting glacial blue, east meeting west, but both of them would almost flinch at the intensity and slide away. They were too close, and the driver's head was only inches away. He rode with his hands carefully still, palm down on his thighs, but she could tell he was nervous, tense almost to snapping.
The cottage was on a hillside, surrounded by thick tropical vegetation. The driver helped carry their luggage up to the front porch and she had given him a tip in American dollars. And then they were alone.
Again she touched his cheek, longer this time, and reveled at the shiver that ran through his frame. His fingers flexed and then curled into fists and she knew he was resisting the urge to reach out to her. He lips quivered and he almost moaned the words, "Oh Ma'am."
