I clambered into my bed shaking the rest of the water from my curls and pulling off my glasses. I tossed them onto the bedside table and pulled my covers up to my chin.
"No weird dreams Laura." I chided myself quietly and closed my eyes. I had made a bad habit of dreaming about having sex with people who I didn't know, nor would the gender particularly matter-- I just needed sex.
I opened my eyes and waited for them to adjust to the dim room. My apartment was small, but it was all mine in the middle of nowhere Arizona, where the winter air was dry and stifling. I had made the decision to move from Georgia to Arizona to establish basic independence from my otherwise traditional African American family.
"You don't
need
to go to Arizona." My sister told me. Two years younger, but all the more bossy.
"We've got the best here, you have no excuse to go to Arizona."
"Well I want to go. It's not really your decision if I want to go or not."
"So you want to leave me?!" was what my mother had exclaimed in her bonnet and nightgown the evening I told my parents. "Mom, I'm nineteen. I've got to get out of your house some time..." My father stayed silent as my mother and sister went back and forth chiding me over my decision. When they had finally exhausted themselves and found that my stubbornness had won, they puffed out their exasperation at me and then marched up stairs with a cool glare in my direction. My father stayed seated on the dining room couch.
"Well Pops, say what you gotta say..."
When he finally looked up, I saw the tears in his eyes first, but behind those tears was a huge smile and a twinkle. "Well now, lookie here. My first baby is grown." I smiled and fought back the tears threatening to spill out of my eyes. "Pops, you know I don't want to hurt you guys, this is just me wanting to be independent." He nodded slowly and motioned for me to sit next to him. "Baby, I know you're just staking out your independence, but why do you gotta go so far? What'll you do if you get in to trouble? You're gonna leave your old man to rot away in this house alone?".
My father and I were always very close. He taught me about sports and I would watch baseball with him on his lap. The memories were still flashing through my mind when I answered him, "Pops, I love you. I always will be here when you need me. If you ever need help, you know I'll always be the first one there for you." He smiled and I winked at him. His nickname for me was "First Responder", after working as a firefighter for 45 years he retired. Naturally, I had his personality and I would always be the first one to answer the door, get the phone, or run to help someone who had fallen.
I looked at his face as he looked down again. "I know Baby. I want you to do what you gotta do and I love you." He patted my hand as he started to get up and I with him. "You know I love you, and if you ever are in trouble, you just come right on back to home base and you'll be safe."
The next two days, I packed, bought my ticket, finalized my lease, and said good bye to my family and left for Arizona.
I pulled my thoughts back to the present. It had been almost five months. School was going fine. I had a part-time job at a grocery store a couple blocks from my house and had a couple associates to hang out with, but I was still missing something. I rolled over in my bed and stared at the wall I had filled with pictures of my family. I knew I would miss them, but I just didn't know how much. I made a silent prayer in my heart for their health and prosperity then I finally went to sleep.
Crack.
The lightening bolt slammed down to Earth and jolted me awake. The thundered boomed and there were more flashes outside my bedroom window. I grabbed for my glasses and put them on. "I don't remember them saying we'd get a thunder storm..." I slid upright in bed.
How odd
. The lightening cracked again, but it sounded much closer to my house this time. I got up and walked through the bedroom down the short hall to the kitchen and dining area to get a better look from the balcony.
"Beautiful isn't it?", a calm voice spoke from the corner of my kitchen. I jumped around and my eyes searched for the mysterious voice. The figure leaned back against the refrigerator and lifted it's head. "Who the hell are you?!" I shrieked. My hand slammed into the light switch, but it didn't turn on. I flicked it a couple more times and the figure laughed. "The storm took out the power. It tends to do that when went it goes unfed." I got the sense the individual was smiling, but I wasn't about to ask why. I grabbed the cutting board, which happened to be closest to me and held in up in self-defense. "If you think I'm going down that easy, you got another thing coming." Again the figure laughed and I got the sense I was speaking to a male. A genderless voice, but all the same still pleasing to listen to.
The remembrance of the voice sent chills down my spine and made my pussy ache with a heavy need. I hardly noticed when the figure began to move away from the refrigerator towards me. "I see my voice has taken effect finally. I must say, I've never encountered someone who took so long to respond to my voice, but you don't seem like the average woman." I scowled. "Damn straight, you pig!" I hefted my cutting board and moved to swing when his fingers brushed my ribcage.
It was an almost innocent touch, but my fingers lost their grasp on the cutting board. Instead of clattering to the floor, he caught it and laid in gently on the counter.
My mind was reeling.
That feeling
.
Oh, that feeling. When was the last time you felt that Laura?
I pulled my mind remorsefully back to reality and got ready to fight, but the figure was so close. Too close. I backed up right into his waiting arm and he pulled me into his chest. "You shouldn't be afraid. What will take place tonight is not something that should hurt in the slightest. I do apologize, but I may have to be rougher with you since my time is short." His words floated to my ears like feathers on the wind and I lost all ability to move. My arms were like lead weights and my legs were rooted to the floor. "Please don't." I whispered, the fear sinking in slowly. The figure was so close I could finally see his smile. "Why beg to not have something you will love? After all, kisses have always been free." His smile broadened and my mind tried to register what he had said.
I was barely beginning to comprehend when his lips met mine. At first it was soft. A little too soft I thought and as if he read my mind, he held my face and began to kiss me deeper. His lips coaxed mine open. His tongue slid into my mouth slowly and teased my tongue to life. He tasted like an aged rum and I sank my tongue into his mouth savoring the taste.
It was like a dance I knew all the steps to, but never learned. His tongue guided mine around his and as he moved to pull away my mouth closed around his tongue, sucking the flavor away as he withdrew it from my mouth. I could feel the saliva trickling down my chin, but I didn't care. My eyes finally fluttered open and caught a glimpse of his half smile. He sighed, content and seemed to be waiting for something.
I opened my mouth to speak, but instead a moan escaped. Then it finally hit me. My body felt like raw nerve endings; bordering on painful, but exquisitely sensitive. He dragged his fingers down my spine and it felt like he was drawing a trail of flames down my back. The heat resonating from his finger tips pooled in my sex.
