It was Halloween night, the air was bitter and cold. The wind chilled my exposed skin. as Darin and I walked along the empty street.
We had left our friends party early. Though the drinks were still flowing and the costumes had been great, he'd lost interest. My skin tight, black leather, clung to every delicate curve of my body. My perky tits, bounced with every move I made, driving Darin mad with desire. He watched all night while I flirted with other men. They brought me drinks and stood around watching while I danced. Every now and then one would rest his hand on my shoulder, and let it wander down to my ass. I'd giggle loudly, letting their hands stay. Darin just watched from across the room, holding me in his dark stare. Finally, after a couple hours of holiday debauchery he pulled me into a dark room. "You little tease." His long fingers dug into my arm.
I tried pulling away. "I'm having fun." I pouted.
"I can tell." He loosened his grip and ran his hands over my leather clad arms. "I'm tired of watching you flip your ass all over this place. Let's get out of here."
"Aw, come on. Just a little longer?" I begged, stomping my foot, like a spoiled little girl.
"I don't think so. I'm over this place." He wrapped his long fingers around my upper arm again and led me out of the room. I stumbled over my own feet as he half dragged me out of the place.
"Bye everybody! Happy Halloween!" I hollered to the room at large waving as we walked through the room. "Darin's being a meanie, he doesn't want to stay." I whined, waving to many of our friends and several of the guys that had provided me with such good company up to that point. A couple looked more than a little disappointed. I smiled one of my sexiest smiles at a particularly cute guy. Darin pulled me out into the cold night.
"You are such a party pooper sometimes, you know that Darin?" He walked quickly. I had to hurry to keep up with him.
"Yeah well you can be such a slut sometimes. But you know that." He spit his jealous words at me and walked on. I wrapped my arms around myself, rubbing at the cold, thin leather. It did nothing to warm me against the chill. I noticed Darin's jacket, but knew he wouldn't offer it to me. "Come on. It's fucking cold out here."
"Ugh." I stomped passed him, glaring as I went. "I should have let you leave without me." The heavy heels of my boots clicked on the cement. Bitter wind tangled my hair. My face burned despite it.
"What's your fucking problem?" His hand closed on my shoulder. He turned me to face him.
"What's my problem? What's your problem? I was just trying to have a good time. Which you seem to be incapable of." I shouted and shrugged his hand away.
"Sorry if my good times don't involve my girlfriend hitting on everything with a dick that passes by. You were like a god damn blood hound back there."
"Whatever." I turned, and walked away again. I refused to turn to check if he was following me. It didn't matter. I knew where I was going. He would find his way there eventually. My breath rose in front of me in white puffs as I stomped away. I couldn't hear anyone behind me. The night seemed suddenly darker. The wind continued to blow. It pulled at my hair, banged shutters against houses, and shook chain link fences. A dog was barking somewhere on the next block. I shivered against the wind, wrapping my arms around myself again. Big old houses with no lights on loomed around me. Halloween had never been creepier as I walked alone down a seemingly abandoned street.
I was having second thoughts about leaving my companion behind. Sure he'd be alright, but what about me? The neighborhood I was in wasn't terrible, but it seemed a whole hell of a lot worse now that I was walking in it alone, after dark. The walk itself seemed longer too. There were several blocks between me and the safety of my own house. I just couldn't believe that Darin would leave me like that. Or rather, let me leave him. Hadn't he seen the way I was dressed? Forget ghosts and ghouls, what about all the dangerous, men out there? I didn't even have a coat on. I shivered and cursed Darin. How dare he! A car drove by slowly, as if on cue. Two men inside stared out. Goosebumps spread over my entire body. I held my head high and looked forward, pretending not to notice. Though, my heart beat seemed faster than ever before.
As they pulled away I let out a long low breath. I hadn't even realized I'd been holding it. "Jesus Christ." I muttered to myself, shaking away the chill, the fear. Why hadn't I worn a jacket? Tears were forming in the corners of my eyes, hot against my cool skin. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I yelped and jumped turning on my assailant.
"Damn it Tanya. What are you doing?" Darin was standing there, just inches from my raised fists. His tall slender frame, a welcome sight. He pulled his long, lean arms out his dark over coat, then wrapped it around my shoulders. "If you were this determined to fuck a stranger, I wish you would have just told me. At least you were among friends back there."
"Fuck off, Darin." I moved away from his embrace, but pulled his coat tighter around me. I was glad he had come.
"Come on Tanya, you know that was stupid. I considered letting you go. But then I saw those creeps watching you and I just couldn't leave you in that kind of danger." He motioned in the direction the car had driven and stepped closer to me. I didn't pull away. It felt good, being so close to him. It didn't matter that he was such an asshole. At least he was there. The street light cast his shadow across my face. I looked up at him.
His face was gaunt and pale like the rest of him. His large dark eyes sat under his heavy brow, always brooding. He rarely smiled. But at that moment he let one escape. His thin lips revealed two rows of perfectly straight, gleaming white teeth. He had the look of a predator then. Something evil, crept into his eyes. "Hey, if I say I'm sorry will you help me with something?"
I looked at him, my eye brows drawn together. The look in his eye made me wonder if my safety was ranking very high on his list, after all. "What do you want?" I narrowed my eyes and stepped out of his shadow.
"Oh just to live out a fantasy." His eyes darted to something behind me, then back to my face. "If I recall you have a similar one yourself." He nodded towards what he'd been looking at. I turned to see it. There it was in the shadows, standing several yards from the sidewalk, a large, dilapidated church. Over grown ivy clung to it's brick exterior, the spindly stems brought to mind spider webs. Many of the stained glass windows had been broken out and covered with boards of plywood. A heavy chain and padlock hung from it's double doors.
"What, exactly did you have in mind?" I had to admit the prospect was exciting. I could recall telling Darin that I had wanted to be sodomized in a church before. Though, my fantasy involved a full congregation on Sunday morning. His idea wasn't so terrible. It had a nice dark feel to it, very holiday appropriate.
