Have you ever felt lust so strong, it's all you could think about? It's overwhelming, all consuming, and you can't live without getting exactly what you want. That intensity can make people think they are in love, but me, I know better. I know what that kind of lust, that fire that brought me to you. When I first saw you, I knew you would ruin me for any other. I knew those strong arms around me, would utterly destroy my soul, and you would own me.
I'll never forget your voice or the way your smile was entirely predatory the first time you saw me. I enjoyed feeling like I was caught by you, trapped. I was your prey and there was no way I could fight that captivating pull between us. Even now, after you've left my bed, I still ache for you. I never got your name, or why you chose me. As I write this, I don't even know if I'll ever see you again. But I realize some things are too good. It's like capturing lightning bugs in mason jars, yes they are beautiful, but if you keep them, they'll die.
So here it is. Our one night. I'll try to write it down, so I lose none of it. When I think about you, I'll bring this out, and just maybe it'll bring that memory back to life. Just maybe.

I sat my money down on the bar, leaving it for the bartender as I took my drink and stepped away to my little nook in the corner. I watched the crowd as they slowly got drunk on the cheap one dollar beers, that this hole in the wall dive was so famous for. It'd been a long time, since I'd given up my pride to get drunk and act stupid like the rest of them.
It was winter, and the moment you stepped into the place, I felt a frigid draft and looked up. Our eyes met from across the room, as romantic as it sounds, your eyes didn't come across as wanting to woo a pretty young thing. Oh no, the moment our eyes met, my body went rigid with the fight or flight response, and I knew there was a predator in the room. I couldn't help it. It was all in your eyes, every little thing that you wanted to do to me.
I watched you as you turned away to the bar, feeling better now that your eyes weren't on mine. It was good to finally take an unhindered breath. But all too soon that calm faded and you were striding towards me, all confidence and a swagger that said, 'I am the biggest and baddest motherfucker in here.' It was a warning to the others in the bar. Even though inebriated they felt it. The crowd spread like the red sea, to allow him passage and I waited silently, unable to move or turn away.
I'd never felt that way before, scared, excited and turned on all at the same time. You were so beautiful. I made my peace with the fact that I wanted to fuck you long before you sat down in front of me at my little table. I grabbed my plastic cup of watery beer, and drank it in one long gulp. Then you were there, sitting in front of me, both your hands on the tabletop as if not to frighten me.
"I noticed you finished your beer. Can I take you home?" You asked, that deep, gravelly voice penetrating my normally icy demeanor.
I couldn't speak. I answered only with a nod of my head and then stood. It crosses my mind now that I was being an idiot, letting you walk me home that night, without even so much as, 'my name is.' But I wasn't thinking about your name, or who you were. All I wanted was for you to be inside me.
You walked a step behind me, as I led you to my second story walk up. I was shaking so bad by the time we got there, I couldn't hold my keys in my hands to open the door. You took control then, for the first time, bending over to grab them and slide my key into the lock and open my door.
I stepped through the door, once again you behind me. I draped my coat over the sofa and turned to watch you, as you did the same. Then it was over, any pretense that you were just a friend, or that you were just seeing me safely home. You grabbed my arm and pulled me up against your body. I felt your sweet breath against my cheek as I stood there, unable to look up into your eyes. Suddenly, I was shy.
You lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around your waist. Then you strode towards my bedroom as if you knew exactly where it was because you'd been there a million times. I wanted you to kiss me, but you didn't. You wouldn't for quite some time.
When finally we made it into my bedroom, you took your hands off my thighs, and flipped the switch. The sudden bright light hurt my eyes, and I had to squint just to keep them open. You dropped me and I barely landed on my feet. I grabbed at your body, holding on, you being my anchor.
When finally I thought, I wouldn't fall over, I let you go. Then you started to strip your clothes. I stood there unable to move, but for fidgeting with the buttons of my blouse. I wanted to be naked too but I didn't have the courage, and by the time you were finished only three of the seven buttons on my shirt were undone. I was lost staring at your nakedness. It was a surreal experience, seeing you bare before me for the first time.
"Take them off," you demanded, barely a whisper when I looked into your eyes. "Now!"
I tried to do as he asked, but I wasn't as confident being naked in front of him, as he was so in front of me, and I kept getting tripped up in the buttons of my shirt. Eventually though I had the shirt off, and tossed it to the floor, then my bra, and finally my skirt and heels.
I stood there, embarrassment flowing through me, trying to cover my erect nipples, and looking away from him as my cheeks flamed. I was not a slender woman, oh no. I was voluptuous curves and big tits to match my wide hips. I wouldn't really say I was fat, and normally I loved those curves, but too many people these days thought a woman should have a slender boy body, and that was not me. Nor was I one of those women that wished I looked like that.
I was lost in my embarrassment, and I hadn't realized you were standing so close to me now, our bodies just barely touching. I could feel the warmth of your skin radiating through to my body. The tip of your finger was under my chin lifting my face up to look at you. Your eyes were fierce and I wanted to look away but you shook your head, and I didn't move.
I thought you would kiss me, but you again you didn't. Suddenly, your lips were at my throat, your tongue laving at the, oh so sensitive flesh. I gasped and turned away so you could have better access. Your teeth grazed down my neck, and you pushed my arms away from my breasts. Your hands were harsh, unkind and for some reason I loved it. I couldn't stop the moans as you grabbed both my breast, kneading them then pinching my hard nipples.
