The dream always goes like this:
For some reason, I'm in a locker room. It's hot. My heart is racing, and it feels like the blood is rushing out of my body. I'm not sure what I'm looking for, or if I'm even going to find it. All I know is that I shouldn't be here...
Just when I think that I'm completely alone, I hear him clearing his throat. I can't tell where it's coming from because somebody left the steam room door open and turned it up pretty high. It's so hot and sticky...I feel so dirty.
"What do you want?" I hear his rough, yet somewhat soft and soothing voice ask me.
"I don't know..." I whisper to myself, spinning around, trying to see a face in this forest of lockers and mist.
Suddenly I feel a hand clasped over my mouth. His palm is so soft, and I feel his long, tapering fingers against my skin.
"Don't scream...don't say anything," he says, voice scraping my ear like gravel.
All I can do is freeze and feel myself go limp at the same time as he drags me to a bench behind a row of lockers. I want to struggle, but the heat from the steam and the overpowering smell of chlorine makes me feel weak.
I feel myself collapse on top of him. I can barely hold my eyes open as his lips caressed my ear.
