The search
By lunchtime, I had typed every possible keyword into Google that could lead me to my "secret admirer" or any clarification on the Cosmic Lotus. I needed to know the origin of the manuscript's contents. Had my admirer made it up? Was it all just a psychological trick?
But the lingering heat and fullness in my belly seemed to radiate throughout my body, warming my heart with a joy that I can only describe as ... godly. The idea of merely being mind-fucked was something I couldn't accept. I needed to get to the bottom of this mystery.
However, at the time, I was working as an administrative assistant at a financial firm where emails needed answering, and meetings needed scheduling. More than that, I had been aiming for the position of office manager. Perhaps I was wrong to feel so emboldened by the rituals I'd been practicing—their intended purpose was to improve the quality of my life, after all - and I took this to mean a promotion.
The problem was this Cosmic Lotus had started taking over my mind and absorbing all my attention. It was having the opposite effect on my life! The emails went unanswered as I broke my brain trying to find ways to phrase "giant lotus that fucks you in your dreams" in the Google search bar. I was starting to lose hope.
At one point, I sat back in my chair and relaxed into my daydream about the next "astral worship." I gazed down at my feet and imagined black tendrils wrapping around my feet and ankles ...
That could work!
With difficulty, I pulled myself out of the fantasy and searched: "long black tendrils with red flower." I scrolled slowly, expectantly, as if to manifest the result I was looking for. And suddenly, there it was, highlighted in bold in the meta-text under a forum title I can't remember now:
...
long, black tendrils
or tentacles...
...moved like snakes...

It was a post by a user named "kenandthedoll" who had had his own peculiar experience. However, our stories were wholly different. He briefly relayed his adventures with a woman and her (cuck) husband and ended his post with a description of the familiar tendrils, a glass tank, and a red...

My heart stopped for a moment while I scanned the post over and over, seeing in the familiar words an even more familiar picture. There was no mention of a dream, however. Since there was no way to contact the poster directly, I left a comment, the only helpful one amid rows of question marks and suggestions that he "lay off the acid."
I left a short description of the handwritten manuscript, the rituals, and the insanely vivid dream. Most importantly, I asked if we could get in touch to "compare notes," so to speak. He wouldn't respond that day, the day after, or the day after that.
I revisited the post on day three of waiting and saw that he had posted it in December of last year. I must have been so overcome with excitement when I first discovered the post that I failed to notice this detail. He'd probably already abandoned the investigation.
Luckily, some reprieve from the crushing disappointment would find me that night in the form of another dream. After the first successful "worshipping" session, there was no way I was going to quit the Lotus Rituals.
The second dream
I couldn't open my eyes. Even as a cool breeze stirred the trees and foliage around me, I could only imagine them swaying under the glow of the stars. Crickets chirped, frogs croaked in the distance, and one lone cicada sang.
I couldn't move either—I was a statue in the midst of brilliant natural beauty, unable to interact with it. So, I listened, and I felt. The touch of cool air confirmed that I was naked again, but the sounds of the night gave no clue as to what would release me from the spell of blind immobility.
I thought I heard footsteps.
No—it was real. I heard them!
Twigs crunched closer and closer. My heart pumped warm blood through my frozen body, causing me to break out in a cold sweat. Uneasy breaths hissed through my nostrils and added to the night cacophony. Any attempt to control or suppress it was in vain. If you've ever had sleep paralysis, you'll know what I'm talking about.
I whimpered, knowing it didn't matter if I made a sound. The one coming toward me had their eyes open, they could see me, and they were coming directly at me. I shivered, though not outwardly. My state of paralysis refused even fear to manifest in the quiver of a finger, leaving all the pent-up anxiety to collect in the pit of my stomach.
The footsteps had come to a standstill next to me. Warm breath blew against my ear.
"Shh, it's alright," whispered a male voice.
If I could, I would have jumped.
Who are you?
I thought, unable to speak.
"Anima," he breathed into my ear, his lips brushing against it.
Animal?
"Sure," he sounded amused, "if that's what you want."
Though I thought the music of the night insects would go on forever, it dampened at that moment, softening gradually at first, then ceased entirely all at once. Dead silence. All I could hear was his breathing next to my ear and the repetition of that word in my head.
Animal.
I sensed his hand being raised to my neck before he touched me there. With the gentlest caress, he swiped my hair back over my shoulder.
"Don't be scared," he whispered, resting his hand on my shoulder blade and stroking with his thumb.
Are you going to hurt me?
"No, I'm here to free you."
I felt a relief wash over me like a spring rain - the first of the season. Still, I couldn't move, I couldn't open my eyes. He pressed his lips firmly against my ear before he spoke again.
"Shh, just relax."
He stuck out his wet tongue and flattened it against my ear, running it up and down a few times before pressing the tip inside. A moan hummed behind my teeth, and my thighs were soaked.
"Were you hoping for the lotus?" he said after pulling back.
I - I was expecting it.
"All in good time."
He positioned himself behind me, trailed his fingers along my shoulders, and ran his knuckles gently down my back. The hair on my neck stood up.
He would keep this up for what felt like forever; circling me and caressing every inch that wasn't my breasts, ass, or pussy. I moaned as loudly as I could with my mouth shut and begged him in thought to touch me in those places. He ignored my pleas, merely chuckling at them.
Having been frozen in place with my arms to my sides and my legs straight, I had accepted that this would be my state until the dream ended. The next thing I knew, he took my hand and lifted it above my head, turning the fingers downward so they pointed at my head. Thinking I'd been released from the spell, I tried to move my other arm but couldn't. Only he could change my position.
Shit.
He snickered softly and raised the other arm in the same way. I could hear him stepping back some paces.
"My own ballerina. Want to spin?"
My head was spinning already. He came forward, lowered to his knees, and picked up my foot to place the sole against my other knee. This position left me open with my pussy lips parted - wet, cold, and exposed.
"You're already spinning, aren't you?"
"Hmm" was the only sound I could make.
He didn't touch me for a minute and eventually only brushed the back of his fingers up the line of my tummy, up in between my breasts and neck, coming to a stop under my jaw. He parted my lips with his thumbs and then drew my jaw downward so that my mouth was agape. I was forced open further as he shoved his index finger and thumb inside to grab hold of my tongue and pull it out.
