CHAPTER 1: An Impossible Sighting (-the Waking Sleep)
The Tube carriage was packed. Too many bodies pressed against one another. The heat was stifling as the journey dragged on. I felt like I was suffocating under the pressure of the multitude! It was the usual instance of bored expressions and unfocused gazes as my fellow passengers lost themselves in their thoughts or the drumming music of their portable music systems. Like most others I found myself wandering within my imagination, constantly seeking a source of thought that would keep me occupied. The pressing need to keep one's eyes averted from the wandering sight of others, forbade any really deep thought. However, a nagging urge at the back of head was a constant pressure begging me to let go and relive the images still in my mind from the night before.
The tube train chose that moment to apply its brakes prior to arrival at the next station along the way. Bodies shifted with the momentum, a fast rearranging of body parts to avoid touching a near-by stranger. As the doors opened the air in the carriage changed slightly. A faint promise of a breeze washed inside and I readjusted my stance in the hope of catching it again. It was at that moment I caught sight of the raven hair belonging to a woman in a white coat boarding from the station platform. It was only a split second and then she was lost to me, bodies of the packed carriage obscuring the view. My heart leapt. It couldn't possibly be her but yet I needed to see her face if only to affirm this fact. I tired to move forwards but the disgusted looks of my nearest co-passengers held me back. The press of bodies was too tight. I had no choice but to wait until the next station before I had a chance of leaving my current spot. Already the doors had closed and the carriage was once again in motion.
Desperately I tried to see around the sea of faces between me and the woman who had just alighted. I was rewarded with more stares and a set of muted mutterings. Not wanting to seem out of the ordinary I refrained from my actions and went back into the act of becoming an unnoticeable nobody. It wasn't long before the hypnotic thump of the tracks passing below caused my mind to finally have its way. Images from my dream flooded back so real as to be almost immediately tangible. Her taste was upon my lips, the smell of her fresh skin in my nostrils. I could feel my cock stirring in my pants as the memory of the tightness of her moist pussy walls around my dick came thundering back into my head.
The press of her naked tits against my chest, the heat of her body radiating through my skin, her sensual tongue playing with my own as we fucked; all these thoughts were running my mind. Once again I could feel her passion beating in time with our racing hearts as we made love. The soft sounds of her moaning pleasure echoed through my ears, her tight embrace of her legs around mine as she rode my cock. My hands were supporting her supple buttocks as I cupped them towards me, ensuring the support of her position as we fucked in our standing union.
The drumming of the wheels upon the track mirrored the call of the drums from my dreams. The passing motion seemed to speed the beat onwards, the drums rising in my head and moving onto a crescendo that mirrored the arrival of our shared orgasm. The fires of that unbidden place from my dreams came back to me, burning in their intensity. My lover's touch was now a scalding flame licking at the flesh on my body. Pleasure tuned to pain but nothing could stop me now. The incredible pressure around my cock was unbelievable and yet she continued her sliding motion up and down and along my shaft. My dick was consumed by her womanhood and we continued fucking. Her pleasure was paramount in my mind, other sensations a lost distraction. We were so close now! My body screamed in protest at the need placed on me by my midnight lover but yet I somehow found the strength to continue. I surged, pushing as far the length of my cock would allow into her slippery tunnel of pleasure. She gave one final groan and then allowed her orgasm to claim her.
The doors slid open as the train came to a halt with its usual jolt. The hiss of their motion brought me out of my fantasy and I stared around in bewilderment at my surroundings. I was startled by the transgression from my dream memories and back to the waking world. I immediately became very conscious of my bulging erection in my pants and desperately wondered if anybody had noticed. 'I really had been out of it!' I thought startled by just how real the images in my head had just seemed. It was at that moment when I caught the sight of raven hair, dancing around the shoulders of the woman I had spied earlier. The pressure difference between the carriage and the station platform was causing her midnight strands to flow around her head as if they were possessed by a living thing. My heart jolted at the revelation of her departure. I had still not seen her face and although I knew with almost utmost certainty that this woman could not possibly be the one from my dreams, I just simply had to know for sure.
Roughly I pushed my way passed my former travellers, desperate to reach the doors before they sealed again. As it was, I only just made it and I swear I could feel the door edges snipping at my heels as my feet impacted upon the cold concrete of the station platform. Panic grabbed me as I stared around desperately trying to discern the form of the raven haired woman. People were milling around everywhere and there was a constant push and pull of human traffic as people made their way to their various destinations. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a flash of white and I spun round only to see her high heeled shoes vanishing from sight up the main stairwell. Excusing myself as I went, I made my way as best I could in her wake. At this stage I had no idea of what I would say or do when I caught up with her, it was simply enough for me to know that I would get to see her at last.
I followed my mystery woman out of the station, trailing by a good distance. She had set off at a fast walking pace along the road and was already rounding the bend. I shivered in the damp morning air and pulled my coat tighter around me. With a beating heart born from excitement, I followed in her wake.
