Every year at the beginning of October, as the foliage in the neighborhood turns from green to yellow, red and orange, and the cool crisp air is about, she received her annual invitation to a Halloween party from long time friends. The same friends she has known since high school, friends she knew so well, knew to the very core. She had seen some change for the better others change for the worse. It was customary and expected that every year she go and make an appearance no matter what, even if for a very brief stay. This was an understood promise, made long ago in their youth. No matter what, they will celebrate this one holiday together. As the years pass, the parties seem to get more and more creative. It is impressive the amount of time that they devote into the preparation of the theme and the party. Every little thing, down to the last detail, is accounted for. Through the years, it has come to be expected that they will out-do the previous year's party.
Arriving home the second Monday of the month, she spotted a bulky coffin-shaped envelope that was not foreign to her, and she knew it was the anticipated invitation. As she peeled the envelope open, she allowed the contents to drop into her delicate hands. A simple cassette, and nothing more, was enclosed. As the cassette played, an intriguing male voice spoke of the details of this year's event. "On October 31st a limousine will arrive at your house at 8:30 pm. It will take you to your destination for the evening. Your costume must have a mask to conceal your face. There will be rules that you must follow along this journey. Your first rule is this: under no circumstances are you allowed to repeat or discuss this information with anyone" "Jeez, when did my friends become wealthy?" she thought. Looking closer at the invitation, she was unsure who had sent it, but it must be them. It is something they would do. "Well, they really went all out this time," she said to herself, and that was the end of that until the night of the 31st.
For weeks prior to the party, she was unsure of how to dress, but managed to throw together something that was both comfortable and sexy. Halloween was a holiday that allowed her to dress as provocatively as she wanted to in public. A witch is what she decided she was going to be. It was easy enough. Your basic New York solution: black out, when in doubt. The long dirty blonde hair was curled loosely, and a sheer black veil placed over it. Next went on a black thong just in case she got lucky, or was in an accident. Besides, her ass looked good in it. She adjusted her thigh high fish net stockings. Not the cheap fishnets that have a big opening and are thick, but the thinner ones. So smooth against her skin, showing off her shapely legs and making her feel so sensual, so womanly. She then tied on a short and loose black wrap-around dance skirt, the kind that flows as the body moves. Next came a very clingy black halter-top, and last a black cape. So sexy she looked; there would be no problems in attracting a male.
A sense of uneasiness came over her when putting on the catlike black sequined mask. She liked her face to show, but she placed the mask on anyways, remembering the rules. Her amazing green eyes stared from the eye slits as she looked in the mirror. As she adjusted the veil around her head, she thought, "Hmm, this scarf is good enough to be tied with- or to tie somebody else with." One final touch completed the look, a long pair of black opera gloves that crept above her elbows and over the upper arms.
"Whew' she thought, 'Just in time," as she looked down from her bedroom window and noticed the limo pulling up. She threw on a pair of black stiletto heels, bolted down the stairs, and locked up. Her incredible body sauntered towards the limo as the driver, masked, came around and opened the door. He handed her a piece of paper and had her read it before she was allowed to enter. Eagerly she opened it and read the typed instructions:
Rules for Halloween Evening
1.Do not speak until you arrive at party. 2.If you do speak, you will be let out of the limo at that point. 3.You will have to follow all rules you are given tonight. 4.If you agree to the rules, simply nod your head at the driver.
"Boy, does somebody have too much time on his hands?" she thought with a smile. She knew that not talking would be a difficult challenge, but she was up for it. "My friends know me far too well, OK, I'll show them that I can be quiet for a car ride. I'll play along." So with little reluctance, she nodded her beautiful head, and with that the driver moved aside, allowing her entrance into the limo.
She noticed that there was only one person inside the limo as her body glided across the leather seat. It was definitely a male, and he captured her attention with his cool steel blue eyes dancing in her direction. He was wearing a Zorro mask, and that drew her attention to his face and his extremely kissable lips. Her green eyes trailed further down, and she noticed the very contemporary black tuxedo that showed his masculine body. Trying not to speak, all she could do was to smile and give him a coy wave. He returned a wonderful smile, a smile that any woman would melt from. Something in his eyes seemed familiar. The limo took off and began heading westbound on the Long Island Expressway. He was quiet, but his gaze never left her, and she did not feel uncomfortable. There was, however, a strong sense of familiarity about him. She had a feeling of belonging that she had never experienced in this lifetime. Something that is unexplainable until it happens - weird, but true. As he so graciously poured a glass of Moet for her and leaned over to offer it, she accepted it, and their hands glided across the others. The brief moment of touch caused a sensation, as if a bolt of electricity had surged through her body. She wondered if she had had the same effect on him. Their eyes locked and they exchanged smiles, and without a word or gesture he returned back to his place within the large limo and continued to gaze at her.
As they drove over the bridge into Manhattan, the city skyline captured her attention like it always did. She always got lost in that skyline, with all the lights shining like stars from the heavens. So magical this city, it is like she is seeing it for the first time again. As she turned to her companion, she realized that he was amused at her awe. He seemed to take pleasure in her fascination for New York City. He moved gracefully over to her and sat beside her. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to her. She began to read, "There have been many details made in the preparation of this very special Halloween Evening. It will be like no other you have ever encountered. Realize that no harm will come to you and that you will be taken home safely. There have been several rules that you have agreed to before taking this journey. You must follow all directions, spoken or otherwise, by the man sitting besides you. In no way does he want to cause you any harm or hurt. It is a matter of trust." Dumbfounded, and about to speak, she stopped when he placed his index finger upon her lips. "Shhh," he whispered. Something about the softness in his voice seemed so calming. It gave her reassurance that no harm would come to her; she read that message in his deep blue eyes that blazed so brightly. All she could see within those amazing eyes was love.
Lost in each other's gaze, he placed his hand inside of her delicate hand and slowly began to stroke her palm in little circular motions, their eyes remaining steadfast as they continued to stare at each other. His hand began to travel over her wrists, stroking with soft butterfly strokes upwards. His hands were manly, strong, but not over powering, full of rough spots that showed that he worked hard for his living. She was lost in the moment.
His hand moved up ever so slowly, as if testing the waters. Her eyes could not turn away from his. As soon as his hands embraced her neck, she instinctively arched back as a soft moan escaped her. His fingers began to play with the back of her neck. He paused as if he was about to kiss her, but instead his mouth leaned into her ear as the first words were uttered softly from his lips. "Remember the rules, give me your hands, and trust". She held her trembling hands in front of her as he slowly removed the gloves, revealing her fair skin and her manicured red nails. Submitting to him. Allowing him to move ever so gently within her being. Placing both of his hands within her cascading hair and releasing the sheer scarf that hours before she had taken time to arrange, he removed it ever so delicately. With a wry smile, he allowed his fingers to explore her locks as his face leaned in to smell her scent. He inhaled her fragrance through his nostrils, the warmth of his breath trailing down her neck as he continued to move downwards, his face buried deep within her head. Sitting up, his eyes stopped to simply look. It was as if he had been waiting for this moment for a lifetime; she felt as if he were a blind man, having sight for the first time. His eyes studied every inch of her face as he removed her mask.
He gently took her left hand and placed it over her right, and with her hands crossed, he took the sheer scarf and tied them together. Not too tight, but tight enough that she could not use them. Bringing his lips towards her ear, all he uttered was, "Trust". Something about his voice reached her deep inside, spoke to her of such love, such trust, and such familiarity. His hands began to move gently over her body. Her eyes tried to remain open to watch his every move, only to be lost within his touch. He was taking all of her in. Using all of her five senses, he was causing her body to be stirred with excitement. Licking, smelling, hearing her moans, he placed his ear upon her mouth, and continued to touch her. She felt his eyes upon her as he watched her body begin to quiver from his touch.
