I used to find living alone to be boring and lonely at times, my nights in bed, cold and empty and my days passing and that's all, no purpose visible. It seems I was just here for no apparent reason and with no feeling. It's a lonely and empty life when there is no one to love or to love you.
Then I met him. It started out innocent, just as friends and without realising; it grew to be more. I felt as though I had a reason to be here and really missed him when he wasn't around, the friendship became more involved, sharing things between each other that were only our secrets.
Not long after, the flutters started at words or phrases he might say, then the tingles and it still amazes me that they are real. The shivers and the warm glow in the pit of my stomach. I don't think he even realised what he was doing to me. It was like being made love to but with words instead of touches. I almost died the first time it happened; I didn't know it was possible. My first orgasm with no physical contact at all, just words, his words.
The first time it happened we were playing a game of pool together, it happened in other places too and the more it happened the more intense they got. He would say a few words, they didn't even have to be sexual, just words, my body would shiver and become warm, muscles contracting and releasing in certain areas that had not been touched for so long. I would feel a blush creeping up from my neck to my face and although I couldn't see myself, I knew I was glowing. For a long time, those feelings that he gave me satisfied me totally. There was no need for physical touch because I had him.
Our relationship, to me, became more real and stronger, the love grew deeper and the dreams more vivid.
The dreams! Early on I really didn't remember them except that he was there and the traces that he left on my body when I woke. I even started to wonder if someone had been in my bed. But in my heart I knew it was he and only he. I woke one night to the touch of his hand on my face and the smell of roses, I wasn't scared or worried, it was the gentlest caress and full of love. I was safe.
