Thomas had dealt with his private madness for as long as he could remember, or more along the lines of choosing to not remember that time before. At least it was madness to the civilized world to some degree or another and he had worked very hard to maintain control. He did not believe the madness to be wrong, anymore than he believed the world to be flat. His intense desire was just something that was and there could be no reason he could discover to prove him wrong.
His had become a world of programming where he could study humanity from a distance, since most people were a mystery to him. Programs he understood very well and was paid handsomely for his services. It provided him the opportunity to leave the source of his madness to far more openly indulge. Thousands of miles from the physical source did not matter when the madness appeared to him in a far more seductive form than the source ever would.
Upon hearing his source was moving to the city where he called home these past three years he was forced to allow her to stay with him. Though the force was not something others would recognize as such, he knew it to be just that. He knew that the source was coming and he could no more stop it, than stop the world from spinning on his access.
He regretted allowing it to happen, but could not go back on his word. He would just have to make do with the source being in the same house as him once again. Only this time, the source of all of those vivid dreams, the only vivid dreams he had ever had, would not have the safety and security that the previous home provided. Thomas was determined to have the source at all costs, especially with that source changing in his guest bedroom at that very moment.
She had arrived a few hours earlier and went into his guest bedroom to take a nap. Thomas listened at the door to the soft snores as he planned his course of actions as his madness whispered to him through ruby lips. Those lips had promised so much to him over the years and they had never guided him in a direction that took him off course.
Thomas listened to the soft snoring coming from the room behind the closed door. He placed his hand on the knob and started to turn with the determination of having her, but the voice whispered, 'Wait, my love.' He closed his eyes and smiled as he felt the breath of his madness on the back of his neck. The words and feel calmed his action at once and found himself releasing the knob. He continued to listen to the sound of deep sleep escaping through the door while waiting for his madness to speak again.
The madness breathed into his ear as she said, 'You can't have her while she sleeps. You must wait, my love.' He felt warmth engulf his body as she said the words to him and he knew he had no choice. Thomas could not fight the madness, but wanted it to be wrong this one time. For the first time in ages, he was on the verge of ignoring the madness. He placed his hand on the knob and started to turn slowly. The madness whispered again, this time the breath against his other ear, as it said, "If you take her now, you won't have her like you have me, my love. If you want to have her, truly have her, then you must wait."
He nodded and said, "Your right. Damn it, you're right. Thank you." As much as he wanted to have the source now, Thomas wanted to have her in the same way that he had the madness. If he took her before she looked at him in that way, under any circumstance, there would never be lust in her green eyes. The only thing he would see from her is hatred and that hatred would never evolve into his greatest desire. The desire to have the source yearn for him in the same way his madness did was far greater than taking her by force.
Thomas entered his office and did not bother to close the door behind him. At the moment, he needed to work, rather than spend special time with his madness. As he started typing, he felt the hand of his madness caress his inner thigh. She knew him all too well to know what calmed him when he needed it most. The caress was not distracting him from his work, but helped to focus his mind on the task at hand.
His neck started to bother him and he felt the hands of his madness start to work. As he closed his eyes and felt her hot breath on his ear, Thomas found something off about the touch. He kept his eyes closed and allowed for her hands to work the muscles and felt the hand continue to caress his inner thigh. It took just a moment for this to reach his conscience and opened his eyes. There was no way his madness could rub his neck and caress his inner thigh. Something was very wrong and he had to know what it was.
He looked down and saw his madness smiling up at him and continued to feel the hands work their magic. He could still feel the hot breath on his ear and allowed himself to enjoy it for a moment before attempting to turn to face whoever was behind him. There was no other reasonable explanation other than someone was in the room with him and his madness.
Thomas attempted to turn, but the hands moved to his shoulders to hold him in place. He was starting to get angry, but the smiling vision of his madness showed no sign of alarm. She gave every appearance of enjoying seeing him touched by some unknown figure.
As he calmed, Thomas heard some woman whisper lustily into his ear. "Relax, Thomas," she said as she gave a soft laugh." He knew that voice, but couldn't place it. She let out a soft breath against his ear, then said, "You are really tense. When was the last time you had a massage?"
Thomas closed his eyes and allowed himself to enjoy the moment. He did not answer, because there was no answer he needed to give. The only reason he could come up with was that his madness had found a way to be in two places at once. If his madness wanted to caress his inner thigh and massage his neck, he was not going to complain.
He felt himself being turned toward the madness behind him and found himself looking into her eyes. He smiled, but found something off about the vision kneeling slightly in front of him. Her eyes were very close to those of his madness, as was her red hair, but it wasn't quite right. Then it dawned on him that he was not looking upon the madness, but the source.
The source had every bit of lust in her eyes as his madness, but he knew he had to be wrong about what he was seeing. There was no way that his source could look at him like that, at least not without a lot of time and effort on his part. Yet there it was and he could not deny what he was seeing.
The source said, "You know, Thomas, mom and dad didn't want me coming out here."
Thomas took a breath to steady himself as he continued to stare into her eyes. After a moment, he asked her, "Why not?"
Melany continued to stare back into his eyes as she said, "They thought you might rape me." He heard no hint of fear in her voice as she said the words.
Thomas was worried that she knew his secret, so quickly said, "I would never..."
