Synopsis
A female psychopath breaks into the narrator's home and demands sex at knifepoint. The narrator is terrified at first, but finds the possibility of impending death arousing, and in the end has sex with her willingly.
A great start to a love story, right?
The story contains only threats of murder and violence. The sex itself is mostly vanilla.
This is written from the male's perspective and so is almost entirely male gaze.
Story
I wake up to the feeling of a warm body against mine. And then, a whisper, in an unmistakably feminine voice: "Hey, pretty-boy. Wake up."
I open my eyes to see a masked face hovering above mine. The mask covers the upper part of her face, leaving her mouth exposed. She has dark eyes, and her lips are turned up in a smile. Her face is outlined by short dark hair that hangs down to her chin. Her skin is noticeably dark, but it's impossible to tell its color in the faded moonlight. She has a slight, musical accent of indeterminate origin.
Naturally, I freak out. I try to bring my arms up and push her off me... but I soon realize my arms are handcuffed to the bed, above my head.
"What the fuck –"I start, but she quickly covers my mouth with a rough hand, so all I can do is moan. My legs are free though, so I keep thrashing, trying to push her off me. Suddenly, a sliver of cold steel appears against my neck. Cold sweat blooms across my body, and I stop struggling. Terrified, I lie completely still, eyes wide. Her smile widens, showing a hint of teeth.
"Good boy. Now, I'm going to remove my hand from your mouth. And you're not going to scream or cry out. Because if you do, someone might come, but you won't be alive to thank them. Nod once if you understand," she whispers.
I nod gently, so as not to cut myself by accident.
"Good. I knew we could work together." She says, and her hand comes off my mouth. The sliver of metal lifts from my neck, though I can sense that it's hovering just above the skin.
"Is – is that a knife?" I ask, voice small and terrified.
"Why, yes. Yes it is." She says, and brings the weapon into my field of vision. It is a small thing, but it looks wickedly sharp. "Don't worry. It's just the flat," She says and winks at me. I cringe.
She gives me a pause to collect myself, and my instinctive terror solidifies into a horrible dread. I feel hopelessly over my head, I feel as though this can't possibly be happening to me.
As though reading the realization in my eyes, her smile widens, as though she delights on my fear.
"What do you want from me?" I ask her, my voice shaking, eyes brimming with tears.
"Guess, pretty-boy," she says. She is still smiling. I imagine that she would still be smiling while she's cutting my throat.
"Do you want money? You can take it. Everything. Please. I don't... I don't want to die. Please don't –"
Metal presses against my neck and the words die in my throat.
"Shush. Now you're just rambling. I don't want your money, silly. If I did, I wouldn't bother waking you up, would I?"
I'm crying openly now, tears sliding down my face. I'm sobbing. I try to stop, I'm so afraid of the knife, but I just can't.
"Please, just tell me. I don't understand. What do you want from me?" I just want it to be over.
She purses her lips, as though thinking about it. "Here, let me give you a hint," she says.
To my horror, she bends down closer to me, her mouth just above mine. An image of her biting my face off fills my mind, and I flinch back, trying to bury myself in the mattress. I almost start struggling again. Then I feel her tongue lapping up one of my tears.
I exhale violently, sobbing and shaking. She just laughs at me. "You are so cute," she says between bursts of quiet laughter.
"What the hell do you want?" I ask, between sobs.
"You're no fun. You won't even try to guess?"
I realize I am going to die. I think of the long road that has brought me to this point. I think about high school and college. I think about my ex-girlfriend Dani for a moment, almost out of habit. I think about my Topology coursework, and that one problem I just can't get. I think about my parents. And a lot of other things.
She bends down again, her lips almost touching my ear, and whispers. "I want to fuck you." She punctuates her words by lapping at my earlobe.
I shudder at the touch of her tongue, at the feeling of her breath against my ear. But her words seem to kindle something strange within me. Behind the extreme terror, behind the mind-numbing fear, there is... lust.
Stupidly, inanely, I ask, "Is – is this going to hurt?"
"Of course not. Not unless you try to resist. In fact, you might even end up enjoying it." She kisses my cheek. "Now, are you going to be a good boy?"
I stare into her eyes. My sobbing is subsiding. I begin to become aware of the heat of her, of the proximity of her body. My cheek seems to tingle where her lips touched it.
"Yes," I say, voice much calmer.
I close my eyes, readying myself for whatever she has in store for me.
I feel unexpectedly soft lips against my own. They are gentle and inviting. Nothing like I expected. I am stunned at first, paralyzed and uncertain. I can feel her tongue sliding between my lips, inside my mouth. She tastes of mint and salt, and something pleasantly sweet. Something that seems to dissolve the terror. Something unmistakably arousing.
Worlds turn over in my mind, like the shuffling of a deck of cards. The small spark of lust within me grows and flares, resolving into wild desire.
I kiss her back. Instinctively, I try to bring my arms up, to wrap them around her, the danger of her knife completely forgotten – or maybe driving me on. I am hand-cuffed of course, and for a second I feel absurdly frustrated.
I am afraid my newfound willingness will anger her, but I am lost now, drowning in her scent, and it is hard to care.
I can feel her body, powerful muscles well-defined underneath soft, yielding skin. She is a creature of desire, expressed through insurmountable force. I suddenly want to see her. I want to feel her. I push my body against hers. I am suffused by her warmth.
She is laughing, her voice dark and deep. Its cadence resonates within me. Is she going to kill me now? Am I already dead?
She whispers, "I can't believe you are enjoying this."
I just nuzzle at her neck. I can't help myself.
"Can you uncuff me?
She smiles. "Not yet. Maybe later."
"What about my clothes?"
"Oh, don't worry about those. I know how to deal with clothes."
The knife appears in her hand again, poised over my body.
"Tilt your head back for me," she says.
I do as she says without second thought, exposing my throat, making slicing it easier than ever. I close eyes and part my lips in expectation.
"Okay, don't move," she says after a pause. I wonder if she thought I wouldn't do it.
I open my eyes, and see that she's caught the collar of my T-shirt with the tip of the blade. She carefully draws it back, slicing my shirt in two, exposing naked skin to the cool night air. Then she slices the sleeves as well, opening it up completely. She pulls it from under my body, tossing it to the floor beside the bed.
And then I can feel her warm hands all over me, climbing up my stomach, caressing my chest. I shift and moan at her touch. Her hands are calloused, the skin rough, but her touch is gentle.
Then she bends down, and kisses my neck. She sinks her teeth into my neck, and I cry out in surprise, but her bite doesn't pierce the skin.
She showers kisses down my body, gentle as a lover. Again, I rattle the cuffs, yearning to touch her, to lose my fingers in her short hair, to feel her body.
She straightens, still straddling me, and takes off her top with a smooth motion. She is wearing nothing underneath. She has the body of a goddess of war, with sculpted abs that glisten in the moonlight, and small breasts with stiff nipples that make my mouth water. Her clearly defined biceps ripple as she completes the motion. She carelessly flings the thing aside.
Her torso and stomach are marked with scars. Some are slashes, others puncture marks that could be bullet wounds. If I had doubted she possessed the resolve to kill me, that she was no stranger to death, then her body would've chased those doubts away.
