The knock at the door was light, plaintive. It was a mild, perhaps even reluctant request to which my spirit murmured a soft, "no."
I just couldn't answer the door. I needed time to breathe. I had to think through the events that brought me to this cum-soaked couch. I had some things to figure out, some decisions to make. I had to regain control of my runaway emotions, my life. Hell, I needed a drink of water.
I was parched. During the past hour I had clogged reservoirs with snot, cried rivers and masturbated enough to flood the Sahara. Okay, you get the idea. I needed a drink of water.
I got up to drink, not answer the door. I wanted that knocking, that gentle rasping, to go away. I ignored it as I emptied the first glass. I bent over backward to drain the last drop as I stood at the sink. In bending, the short hem of my chemise rode up to expose my pantyless pussy. It touched the cool, metallic counter. God, that felt good. As I gulped down a second, my mind was able to wander from body's immediate needs to engage memory.
I thought about the spanking I'd just received from my landlord, Ms Thomas. I reached involuntarily to stroke my buttocks. Yep, still sore. Her words, "next time the hairbrush," echoed in my ears. Damn! What was I going to do? I needed to talk to somebody. She warned me, though. "Not even your husband," she said. He loves this apartment so much. I can't risk getting us thrown out. What was I going to do? How could I release her hold on me? I reached involuntarily to my pussy. Yep, still wet. How could I get hot over something so degrading? What was I going to do?
After I swallowed the last from the third glass of water, I felt somewhat refreshed. The knocking at the door was becoming less patient, though, so I finally decided to answer it. I wiped my nose, then my pussy, on the kitchen towel and went to the door.
"Are you okay?" It was Ally, the leasing agent who shared my troubles.
I opened the door for her to come in and nodded.
"I knocked and knocked. Are you sure you're okay?"
I thought I was ready to confront reality, talk to someone, but seeing her was more than I could handle at the moment. I walked to my bedroom, crawled into my still unmade bed and covered my head. She followed me. Damn!
"I need to talk to you. Ms. Thomas sent me to check on you."
'Oh, god,' I thought to myself. 'This is all I need. Does it ever end? When can I just stop and get my bearings. I need to find a context for these spiraling events. Couldn't I have a little vacation? Please, god?'
"I'm on your side, Liza. Please don't shut me out. I need to talk to you."
Slowly, tentatively, I lowered the cover from my head. I looked at her. I waited for her to begin.
"That's better. Really. I'm here to help you. Trust me."
Oh, god. The two most suspect phrases in any language and she said them both without taking a breath. I recovered my head.
"Well, cover your head if you like. I'm going to put this lotion on you no matter what, and I don't need to see your head to do it."
She lifted the covers at the foot of the bed and piled them higher on my upper half. Since I was already face down, my naked buttocks were right there for her to begin her ministrations. I felt the coolness of the lotion sink into my welts. I felt the muscles in my entire body relax. This was nice. Her gentle hands rubbed delicately that which just minutes ago were so cruelly abused. Yes, I liked it.
"No one has ever done such a nice thing for me," she said. "Ms Thomas wasn't kidding when she said your welts earned me my job. If you hadn't taken that spanking, I'd be without a job, I know it."
She bent down and kissed my bare behind!
Well, as you can imagine, it was time for me to come out of my shell and see what millennium it was. I threw off the covers and sat up. That only encouraged her, though. She threw herself around my waist and wept.
"Please, please." I struggled to disentangle myself from her.
"Tell me you forgive me," she cried. "It's all my fault. Don't hate me."
Oh, boy. Now I was on the hook. What else could I do, but say, "Don't cry, I don't blame you," huh? Yep, that's what I said.
She sat up and wiped her eyes. They shinned with a brilliance I'd evidently missed when I was fixated on her panties earlier. I smiled as I remembered how she played with herself through her panties, as would a five-year-old. I forgave her even that, now.
"We're going to be great friends. You'll see." Ally clasped me about the neck this time.
"Please, please," I struggled again to disentangle myself.
"I need to tell you what she said. It's awful." Ally managed to get my attention if she didn't have it before.
"I'm to spy on you. I have to report everything." She looked me straight in the eyes.
I felt nauseous. Would this nightmare ever end?
"I understand," I heard myself say. I patted her on the back, since her torso was still glued to my own. "It will be alright."
Curiously, for the first time since she smothered me, I felt her. The curves of her body suddenly took shape, right down to the hard nipples which punctured my chest. I felt the heat of her breasts against my own. I was suddenly aware of her breathing, and I matched its cadence. Then, just as suddenly, she released me and sat apart. She looked at me. I longed for her touch.
"Can I tell you something?" She asked.
"Anything, of course."
