It started with a whisper in the darkness, vague yet breathless. Moisture from the whisper warmed my neck. I searched for the source, looking in the shadows not lit by the Christmas tree. I saw nothing. My attention returned to the tinsel that caressed the packages under the tree. The shiny surface glittered under the red and green lights.
Once again, I heard a whisper, breathless and heady. This time I didn't try to chase it. I let it glide over me and tease the ornaments on the tree limbs. I pretended that I was a flower, waiting for a shy butterfly to land upon my delicious center, to dip in the honey pooling there.
The whisper beckoned me. I could not refuse it, as it became further and further away. I followed it, as if attached by a silver thread into the bedroom. In every size and shape, a million red candles blazed. The room was aglow with golden yellow light. My eyes fell upon the bed with its lily white sheets exposed. The pillows were fluffed and across them was draped the most beautiful red teddy adorned with green bows at the breasts and the crotch. The soft whisper said my name once, then twice. I was to be gift wrapped in satin.
Without haste, I removed my clothes and dressed in the teddy. With care, I lay down on the bed, letting the crisp cool sheets soothe the heat in my body. Closing my eyes, I focused on the satin that clung to my shape, enhancing the peaks and valleys. The bed dipped under someone's weight, yet I dared not open my eyes, for one cannot see a whisper.
Soft kisses started at my temples, moved down the side of my fact to end at my chin. My lips quivered, for the touch was exquisite, almost a torture. My neck was suddenly devoured by a wet mouth. I wondered if I would ecstatically wring in death under a pair of hungry lips. As suddenly as the mouth nibbled my neck, it took my lips, softly at first and then deeper. A hunger had awoken.
I felt a tug at the ribbons over my nipples, as the bow became untied by deft fingers. The night air assaulted my nipples, making them stand erect. The mouth left mine, trailing kissed to my breasts. My nipples were sucked and licked. When the nibbles started, I felt myself squirming under their pressure, begging that it never end. For a long time, both nipples were sucked, licked, pinched and sometimes pulled or twisted. Every fold and crease on them was thoroughly investigated. I cried out when the mouth and hands abandoned them.
My first inkling of where the presence had ventured to was when soft hair brushed the tops of my thighs and a soft hand urged my legs apart. Kisses decorated the fleshy patches on the insides of my thighs. A tongue danced along the edge of the teddy that met my leg. A gentle tug released the ribbon at the entrance of the teddy's crotch. I felt the night air caress my wet center. Or it could have been a breath.
