Eros demanded me to thank him for his hospitality. I could not help myself; I laughed and looked up at him. Big mistake! His hand flew to the hair at the nape of my neck and jerked my head up and back so hard I knew for sure he was going to snap it off. Still being possessed an I'm sorry sir pranced out of my mouth as if it was something natural to say.
Silently cursing the gods above I found myself leaning into him to rest my head upon his thigh and like a cat nuzzling his thigh with my face, my hands still behind my back, and still sitting on my heels, I nuzzled him in hopes of his forgiveness.
I so wanted to see the affectionate side of him again, instead of angering him so... this phrase is getting old but again I say, what is wrong with me! Saying this so much you would think I had all of these terrible, life threatening illnesses. The only illness I have is being as crazy as they are, because I am still here!
So Schoner Bonbon V he said to me. Oh let me count thy languages now, I sang in my head, one, two, three... English, French, Italian, and now German makes four. Like I said, I am going mad, now I am making up silly little songs in my head and grinning about it. In French, if memory serves me correctly, Mi Cheri is my love, Cosi Bello is Italian for there beautiful, and in German So Schoner Bonbon means so beautiful sweet.
I really felt like a moron then once I thought long and hard on what he was whispering to me in different languages. He was wooing me, although I do not think he realizes, I too am pretty fluent in multiple languages, just as he is. I do not think I will let him know I know what he said to me. I smiled to myself realizing his sweet words he had whispered, he was showing affection, may not be with affectionate touches, but with affectionate words.
Dear gods above, are you listening to me ramble? Are you laughing at me down here as you watch me suffer; I wanted to shout out and shake my fists up in the air! But, I refrained myself and still sat on the cold, hard, bare floor beside Eros, waiting for him to say something else, anything, in any language, just so long as he spoke to me.
He stood up from his chair and told me to follow him again. Like the dog he was treating me as, I stood up and followed him, still ashamed with my head held down, looking at my feet move one in front of the other, following Eros, step by agonizing step I followed. How my body ached, burned like fire, and oh so sore.
I followed him into the bathroom. What now, am I to bathe him like a slave bathes their master? Might as well, I have done all the other shit he has put me through. To my surprise he undressed himself, held the shower curtain open, and extended his hand out to me. I gently took his hand and let him help me into the shower. I stood to the back, scared to let the hot water hit my wounds.
He stepped in, and stood under the hot, steaming water. I let myself brace against the cold shower wall, ah how wonderful it felt. I watched him standing there, I watched the water glisten on his tanned flesh as it rushed over his naked body, and oh my gods was it a gorgeous sight to behold. I found myself lusting him again, even after all of the horrifying things he has done to me, even after talking to me like a dog, and treating me like one I lusted him.
No, I wasn't being treated like a dog. I don't know how he was treating me, but it wasn't like a dog. I liked it, oh gods tell Hades to get ready because I am surely going there! I liked it. He opened his eyes and looked directly at me; he caught me staring at him. He smiled so sexy as he held out his arms for me. As if I were his lover, I rushed into his arms and buried my face in his chest, enjoying the feel of his arms wrapped around me.
The hot water that beat down on me was ever so painful and my body twitched to each drop. He held me closer, caressing my head with those strong hands of his. He kissed my forehead and told me the hot water was good for the healing. What is he talking about, I do not know, I just wanted to hear his deep voice kiss my longing ears.
His hands gently caressed me as he splashed the water while turning me around. He chuckled as he made a comment on Aria's work on my back. Work? It isn't like I was some blank canvas she painted! That isn't work that is brutality! But, I did enjoy it, and the memories of being with her flourished in my mind again as he traced his fingers over the marks she left on me.
As he was bathing me he told me it was a special soap cream, it would help my welts, bruises, scrapes, and scratches faster then anything I could pick up at the local pharmacy. It was relieving yet it burned a bit. The burning I ignored as he continued to run his hands all over my body, not missing a spot. When he came to the place between my legs I used to keep like a hidden treasure. I found my self spreading them wide for him. Gently he pressed himself against me, making me walk face first against the back wall of the shower.
He slid into me with ease, I was soaked, and not from the water that was splashing against me, wet with lust for him. Gently he stroked my insides, gods he feels so good. It is as if I was made to fit him. His right hand slid up my back, to my shoulder where he squeezed me, then his hand wrapped around my throat and tightened hard, I couldn't breathe! I was gasping for air and did not try to move from his tight grip on me. Instead I was slightly suffocating and grinding myself against him as I reached an orgasm.
He released my throat long enough for me to get in a good gasp of air before he rode me wild and hard until he released himself deep inside of me. Oh my gods I never want this day to end! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we got out of the shower Aria was kneeling on the plush rug in front of the bathroom sink holding a vile of something. She towel dried me off gently, I looked over my shoulder at Eros, and he was drying himself and not paying any attention to us what so ever. Aria brought me back when I heard her talking. She was telling me that the cream ointment she was about to rub into my skin would help my wounds heal half as fast as they would alone.
I also found out Aria is an herbalist and the soap cream and cream ointment she made personally. She did not go into much detail as to what was in it; I guess she did not want her secret out. I could not blame her. It was painful when she rubbed this ointment deep into my skin; it was cool but stung slightly.
When she was done rubbing me down she helped me dress in what I wore over last night, everything was fresh and clean. Not a trace of the dirt and grass that was smeared all over it as before. My dress smelled very nice too, I wondered what kind of detergent she uses.
Eros finished drying himself off before I was ready, and he left the bathroom. When Aria was done with me she told me she would walk me out. What? Is that it just a walk out after everything I went through? Rage built up in me, I felt used, and the feeling of humiliation and embarrassment came flooding back over me.
I held my head high and walked towards the front door with Aria behind me. When she opened the door and I went to step out she smiled and waved as she told me to have a good day. Have a good day? Fuck you I wanted to scream out! But I didn't, I held my tongue and just nodded my head at her and went about my way to my house in the next yard.
I was almost in my yard when I heard the Widow Smith call out to me from across the street with; did you have a wild night dear? Is your knee all right? My fists clenched, don't you have something better to do then watch my every move I said under my breath. I am fine, thank you for asking is all I said and I walked in my house and slammed the door.
Later that night I cooked dinner for myself and ended up removing my clothing to eat at the table, sitting there nude, eating my dinner, all alone with my cat Hera. Some how I knew, my new neighbors had changed me for life. I just did not know if it was a good or bad thing for me. I just didn't know anything at this point. I felt empty, alone, and lost. I was unable to eat much; I just toyed and picked at my food as Hera crawled into my lap to snooze a bit.
I lost track of time thinking about everything I experienced. It was after 10pm and my food was ice cold on my plate, no appetite, and lazy. I got up from the table, leaving my plate just where it was and went upstairs to go to bed. I stopped at the foot of the stairs and called back to Hera. She came pawing along and followed me up the stairs, and then to bed.
