He would see her every day. Tall, dark mysterious and beautiful. Inexplicably, his eyes could never meet her piercing gaze as if they were unworthy of her. It was as though she could see right into his soul with every want and desire exposed. The unease made him tremble in her presence; but still he was eager. Eager to feel her warmth and her love shining down on him. Eager to please and to feel her acceptance and find his place beside her. She was his senior. In age and in title. He was forbidden to talk to her and to interrupt her busy schedule.
Working at his desk one day he felt a shadow come over him. He looked up. She was standing looking down on him. Finally managing to meet her gaze he felt a strange sense of safety and belonging in her face.
"I want you to meet me tonight... at my place." She said softly but assertively.
"Yes." He timid replied.
She smiled at him assuredly and walked away with the same elegance and confidence she did everything. Her words send shock waves through his body as they echoed through his mind for the rest of the day.
Something seemed uniquely significant about his plans tonight. As though this was a pinnacle moment in his otherwise ordinary life. An opportunity to serve a higher purpose, one greater than himself. As though something extraordinary was about to happen for him. Something that would fill the hole in the heart that he carried and give it all meaning.
As if instinctively, he arrived exactly when she had instructed him. As nervous excitement coursed through him, he pressed the doorbell. He held a small bouquet of flowers and had his shirt done up to the top button. He really wanted to impress her.
His heart skipped a beat as the lock rattled and the door swung open. Before he had any time to think she was there, standing in front of him in the doorway. Tall with dark hair. Beautiful and formidable. Admirable and stern, with the perfect body of a true goddess. His knees went weak at the sight of her. He felt unworthy in her presence and a strong desire to fall to his knees in complete submission to her.
He opened his mouth to say hello but only air came out. He blushed and averted his gaze, but she smiled and as though she understood.
"Come here." She said warmly and took him into the hallway.
"They for me?" She said teasingly as she took the flowers from him. She shut the door behind them and moved the flowers to another room, but he never saw them again.
She came back to collect him and lead him through to her living room. The whole house was immaculate, and everything was assorted and organised down to the smallest detail.
"This is how I expect everything to be." She said sternly.
He nodded his head in enthusiastic agreement as she led him though to her kitchen where she tells him her favourite meals and the standard of cooking that she expects.
Finally, she leads him into her bedroom. A beautiful, spacious room fit for a goddess. She takes him by the hand and sits him down on the bed. She sits next to him and looks into his eyes. He blushes once more and averts his gaze. She sighs and gently places her hands on his cheeks and softly pulls his head back into focus with hers.
