It was difficult to see the night through to the next dawn. Winter hours felt too long when Rose wanted to not think of her body and of the need for a man to lay next to her. Today she felt the yearning surpassing her control. She had to have a man in these moments.
Rose had a usual and disciplined life on all fronts. A nerdy working woman, 25 years young with a younger face, laid-back life with least concerns of money or comfort. Though it seemed perfect, she still longed for some affection. She was the elder child of her parent's three, so her only problem was privacy. City houses always seem smaller than whatever a family could need. Or else they are priced higher. There is no halfway between. So bringing boys over was a no-no but staying at a guy's place could be managed with excuses. Only now and then. She had had no stable relationship, only breakouts.
Rose had wanted an apartment to herself but could not ask it of her parents. She wanted to be free and separate, after staying so long at her house, but she had weighed the cons too. She was both a slow and bad cook. Also she wanted to be her parent's baby-girl for as long as she could be. Her work-place was nearby too. So she had this love-hate relation with the idea of moving out. Realisable but not urgent.
But she did have those days when she wanted to have a separate life, away and independent of her parents. It was not marriage or a stable boyfriend that she was looking for. She was dedicated passionately and buried unceremoniously neck-high into her work; and a relationship was a responsibility she was not ready to shoulder. Yet often she longed for a man's skin, breath and flesh next to herself to craddle her through the night. The need for a sexual partner became demoniac and obvious then. These nights were rare; but when these came, they left her thirsty, dry and gasping for breath. Just such a night was this one.
It was difficult to sleep and the air had a chilliness about it that made her cosy yet shift about restlessly. In the room next to hers, her parents were sleeping while in the hall room across the two boys, her younger siblings, had the lights on. Playing video games still no doubt, she thought and turned the other way. It was also way too silent. Her ears felt the silence loom big and deafeningly.
The air left goosebumps on her skin where it was not under the covers. The sudden shiver took her by a pleasant and comfortable surprise. Autumn suited her. But the bed felt empty. She wanted to whisper something. Anything, or may be nothing; yet she wanted someone to hear her whisper. Or may be she wanted to hear how her whisper sounded like. She wondered if she would sound weird if she whispered to herself late at night.
"Hold me closer."
She whispered it to herself. It sounded hot. Not sexy; hot. It made her think of someone replying to her in a gruff, bass voice, also in whispers. Rose had a weakness for the masculine bass voice. It melted her insides and made her feel dizzy in its heat. When was the last time she heard a guy speak to her in such a voice? Long ago. Before the world locked down to virtuality and homes. Perhaps once in the bus. 'Forget it.' She shook her head to clear her thoughts.
For now, Rose wanted to focus on her subdued voice, her breath and her breasts pressing down with its own weight while she lay on her side. Her C cup breasts felt fuller. Perkier and taut. The air should be blessed for the effects it had on her. Only if she could have someone literally breathe down her neck and say sweet-nothings to her. Her eyes closed slowly while her lips parted with her sex-yearning sigh. She almost heard such a thick cream-like voice in her head and it almost made her cum.
She pulled one leg on top of the blanket and hugged it in her arms. This would be her partner for the night. But the night was long, deep and empty. How was it supposed to be spent alone?
She had a modest but nice look to her, a good figure to go with and a demeanour which completed her perfectly. She was just a next-door girl, whose hair and eyes didn't give off the sultriness which she carried around to show only those who could break into her introverted shell. But she also wasn't up to be too hard to please. She knew when to allow men into her space. Only that those occasions were not many.
