I rolled over to look at the clock on my bedside table. The large green numbers said 3AM. At this point I might as well stop trying to get to sleep. I had to be up the next day at 6. I wanted to get to work early and practice in the conference room. I was to give my first big presentation to the firms partners. I was a nervous wreck which explained my insomnia.
So I lay there listening to the noises outside my window. The cars and taxis passing by on their way to and from the Queensborough Bridge, the Long Island Railroad commuter trains off in the distance and the steady ticking of the changing traffic lights. I snuggled deeper underneath my thick down comforter feeling its smoothness against my bare skin. Underneath I wore panties. The only way I could fall asleep was basically naked with the window open to let in the winter air. If I wasn't cold I couldn't sleep.
I must have dozed a bit because the next thing I remember is hearing the creak of my window being opened even wider. I turned my head towards the window but it was dark and I couldn't tell if I had dreamed it or if it was really happening. Whatever the case, my heart began pounding so hard I felt the bed shaking. I was frozen with fear. Even if I wanted to move there was no way for me to protect myself. I had no bat or pepper spray within reach and if I tried to run to the door the small size of the room wouldn't put much distance between me and the intruder.
So I lay there too terrified to move and as cold as it was in the room, I felt myself break into a sweat. I clenched my eyes closed and heard someone placing their foot on the windowsill and stepping into the room. Then there was silence. I couldn't tell where the person was in the room. Something told me it was a man. After a few moments I felt like he was standing near the bed, probably trying to see if I was asleep.
The bed dipped to the left as he sat down on it. My breath caught in my throat as I lay there trembling. What he was going to do to, I didn't know. I hoped that if he wanted to rape me he would do it quickly and not kill me. I didn't have any money. I was just a broke attorney who'd just graduated from law school in debt up to my ass. So if he wanted money or valuables, he'd be disappointed.
I felt him peel back the comforter back from my head. I kept my eyes closed waiting for him to do whatever it was he came to do. After a few seconds I realized he hadn't moved and for some reason I sensed, even though I hadn't opened my eyes that he was smiling down at me. As if he had known I would be awake cowering under the covers. Like a timid animal, I slowly opened my eyes to face my attacker. Instead of seeing a face, at first all I saw was blackness. The light coming in from the streetlight was poor. I realized he was wearing a black mask. There were holes cut out for his eyes and mouth. And he was definitely smiling at me. And it wasn't the condescending, mocking smile I expected to see. Instead, it was almost playful and gentle. And his mouth. What can I say about his mouth? His lips were...they were like...they were shapely, pouty almost. And in that moment for whatever reason, maybe it was instinctive, but from that moment I wasn't afraid of him. Instead, I was intrigued and oddly enough, I was also slightly aroused.
I could smell him now that he was so close to me. He had a clean scent, like soap and just a natural slightly musky scent. It was not at all unpleasant. In fact, it was comforting.
At this point we were just staring at each other. There I was trembling under the covers and he sat there perched on the edge of the bed holding back my covers and staring down at me. He didn't say a word and I didn't either. He slowly began peeling the covers away from the rest of my body. I was holding onto them tightly and wouldn't let go. He tugged gently a few times and I finally let go. I finally started breathing again releasing the breath I'd been holding in.
I lay there in my panties with my bare breasts rising and falling rapidly. My nipples hardened as the cold wind blew over me. I dropped my arms to side and lay there awkwardly. I was trembling and cold and I had never felt so exposed in my life. He just stared at me for at least another15 seconds. His head tilted and his eyes swept up and down my body. My heart continued to beat heavily in my chest and my breathing quickened.
I couldn't tell if he liked what he saw because he never said a word. The only expression could be seen in the line of his mouth which by now had stopped smiling and his lips were clenched together as if he was angry. But I guess he wasn't because he reached for my left hand and held it between his hands. His hands felt strong and steady and his palms were smooth except were a few calluses at the base of his middle fingers. He caressed my hand for a few moments and then he slowly drew it towards his mouth.
The moment I felt his breath on my hand a shock went through my body. I began to tremble even more but it wasn't from fear this time. He planted soft kisses on the palm of my hand, my wrist and then he kissed my fingertips. After he had methodically kissed each tip, he slipped my pointer finger into his mouth and gently began sucking and nibbling it. I heard myself whimpering and my body involuntarily began curling up off the bed. It was so deliciously erotic, yet he hadn't even kissed my lips yet. I could feel myself getting moist and heavy between my legs. My stomach began fluttering.
