Rrrrrrrr
-----
This is my submission for the Halloween Contest 2020.
When reading "Rrrrrrrr" try to imagine a low, guttural purring sound, almost like a deep German "R" sound, coming from the back of the throat.

'I won, I won!' thought Lindsey to herself as she ran through the dorm lobby holding an envelope in front of her. 'I can't believe I won the costume raffle.'
The student government had set up a raffle with the prize being a Halloween costume with make-up by the best costume make-up specialist in the Drama Department. She had spent five dollars for her tickets and never thought she had a chance. Now that she had the good fortune of winning, however, she began to think about what she might wear to go to the party. Once on her floor, she ran to her room and threw the door open.
"Chris, I won! I won the professional costume raffle!" she screamed to her roommate. "Am I lucky, or what?"
"Wow, Lind, that's great. You won't have to spend another red cent to get ready for the party. What're you going to go as?"
"I have no idea, I'm just so excited that I haven't had a chance to decide yet. Maybe you can help me come up with some ideas."
After that, the two sat around, drank a bottle of hard cider to celebrate and talked about Lindsey's costume. The Halloween party was still two weeks away, giving her plenty of time to decide. Chris asked who else knew about it and when Lindsey told her no one, Chris held her finger up in front of her lips.
"Shhh. That's great. Don't tell anyone. Then you can go as anyone or anything you want and no one will know who you are. How cool is that?"
"Ooooh, that's a great idea. Maybe I could use the opportunity to get lucky, since I've been in a dry spell for quite some time."
"Hey, how about Andy? You've had the hots for him forever, it seems. Maybe you could, like, corner him at the party, drag him upstairs even."
"Yeah, that'd be so sweet. He never looks at me even when I try to get his attention."
"Well, this could be your lucky night. Fool him, stroke him, suck him, bed him, do whatever you want. No one will ever know."
"Chris! I'm not going to randomly fuck someone just because I have a costume on. Get real!"
"Come on Lind. A completely anonymous screw? Get your rocks off with no strings? Why not?"
Lindsey laughed at her roomie and reminded her when it came to sex, Lindsey was a bit more conservative. She wanted to know the guy for a while and even get emotionally close before she would consider opening her legs. "But it still might be nice to get someone's attention at the party and build on that."
The more they talked about it and the more she thought about it, the more Lindsey got to thinking about Andy. He was a very hot looking guy on the track team. He had a handsome face under loosely cut brown hair. When she had seen him jogging around campus, she was struck by his long, lean limbs and the cutest butt she could ever imagine. He was an outgoing marketing major but she just couldn't understand why he seemed to ignore her. On one occasion she even felt he acted like she wasn't good enough for him.
After talking about him for a bit, Chris said, "Hey, maybe I can find out what he's wearing to the party for you and you'll know who to corner. Interested?"
"How would you find out?"
"Simple, I'll just ask Zach, his roomie, he'll know. I'll, like, butter him up with some Reese's and he'll talk."
Zach was also on the track team and was blond haired, also lean and cute, but he was a lot quieter, though he smiled a lot more than Andy. He was a pre-med major and was known across campus as a fan of big band music. At the few parties he attended, he'd mostly sit on the sidelines for the evening. And he usually seemed to go home alone.
"Great idea. Here's a couple of bucks for the candy. Ms. Phelps, this mission, should you choose to accept, could lead to me getting lucky. Please don't fail. This tape will self-destruct in five...four...three..." she laughed.
After their laughs and giggles, they went down to the dining room. It was ironic that the first two people they met in the buffet line were Andy and Zach. The two runners were polite and talked with the girls as they picked up their food. Lindsey was disappointed when "A to Z," as they were sometimes called, turned to go to sit with some of the other track team members. As they walked away Zach looked back at them with an "I'm sorry" shrug. Lindsey and Chris ended up sitting alone in a corner.
"See that? They didn't even offer to sit with us. How can I get Andy's attention?"
"That's all the more reason to do what I suggested. You'll need to seduce him anonymously."
"Chris, I can't do that, you know I can't. I gotta know a guy first..."
"Maybe it's time to try a different tactic. You like him, right? OK, so maybe you can let it go for one night, be wild, have a quickie and then, once it's all over, you tell him who you are. I'll bet he'll ask you out after that."
"Oh, that'd be weird. I dunno. But what will I go as?"
"If you are going to do like I suggest, you need a costume that'll totally hide who you are, even in the bedroom. Now, something with a mask that won't come off would be my suggestion."
"Chris, I'm not going to hop into the sack, no matter what you say."
"OK, but you can just forget Andy in that case."
They didn't speak of it much more at the table or in their room that evening. They each had some serious studying to do for upcoming exams and only once they hit the sack did Chris bring it up again.
"Lind, just think about it. You're on the pill, carry some condoms and enjoy it. Even if you don't get together afterwards, wow, you could at least think back about a wild night of sex with your dream fuck."
"He's not my dream fuck, he's my dream boyfriend. Once he's my boyfriend, then I'll fuck him."
"You've got it, like, backwards. Nowadays you fuck first, then he's boyfriend material. Haven't you ever heard of Tinder?"
"Oh, gross. That's not for me. I wanna know the guy first. 'Nite Chris."
"Same to you. Horny dreams!"
"Oh, shut up," laughed Lindsey back as she rolled over.
The next morning Lindsey woke up not having slept very well. She indeed had several erotic dreams which woke her up and one about Andy was so vivid she actually had to masturbate silently until she climaxed. Only then could she get back to sleep.
After her classes she walked over to the Drama Department and introduced herself. Once she showed her winning ticket to the front desk, she was escorted to the back of the main theater. There were several people in the prop room who congratulated her. They invited her to the closet to check out all the costumes which were available for her to consider.
Lindsey felt overwhelmed. She could go as practically anything. There were period pieces such as long dresses you might see in
Gone With the Wind
, witches costumes, clown suits; you name it. The guy who showed her the costumes was very polite and tried to get from her what she might want to go as. She couldn't decide and finally, with Chris' voice in the back of her mind, she decided to ask about a costume which would completely disguise her.
"Oh, Honey," the obviously gay fellow responded, "We could make you absolutely unidentifiable, if that's what you want. It would take a few hours for the make-up crew, but we could so do it."
"What would I be?"
"I think with your build and facial features, we could make you a cat, a sexy cat. I promise you Ashley could make your face up so no one would ever recognize you."
"Let me think about it. When will Ashley be here?"
"Tomorrow afternoon. I'll let her know what you are thinking about. See if she agrees."
The more Lindsey thought about it, the more she liked the idea. She wasn't about to go for a quick fuck, but the idea of being completely anonymous really appealed to her. Maybe she could flirt and dance with lots of guys. If she did, she would need to make absolutely sure no one knew about her costume.
Back in the room she swore Chris to secrecy. "I'm thinking about a cat costume. They think they can make it so no one will recognize me."
"Lind, what a great idea. I won't tell a soul, I promise. Oh, I'm so envious. What I wouldn't do to get to go like that. I bet it would cost a fortune, money that I don't have."
"Yeah, I bet the make-up session will be hours and the costume, well, who knows."
The next afternoon she went over to the department again and met Ashley. She was a reassuring and slightly older woman who reported being in her profession for quite a few years. When they discussed costume options, Ashley jumped up and grabbed a mirror.
