Page 17 of Where the Dark Knelt
As I closed thebathroom door, I heard him say, “Damn it. I’m in trouble.” In a softer tone he said, “Shit… pity I can’t love you, Lily.”
Fixing myself up quickly, I snagged a quick shower and leaned against the tile as the water sprayed down on me. I was feeling the unfamiliar pang of hurt, unsure what he meant by his last comment,and I tried not to overthink things.
Wrapping myself with a small towel, I cracked openthe bathroom door to see Alfie sound asleep. He had passed out. His breathing was slow, and he lay flat out in the same position I had left him in, minus the condom.
I didn’t disturb him, but got dressed, then leaned over and switched the nightstand lamp off, before letting myself out.
By the timeI arrived home, I was too tired to think about what I had done and fell into bed. When I woke up it was still dark. Turning on the nightstand light, I went to pee and caught sight of my naked form in front of the floor length mirror. I didn’t look any different considering what I’d done earlier.
My inexperience in the bedroom had me doubting whether Alfie would want to do that with me again. He may not want to continue with our arrangement. From my perspective, he did all the work while I just kind of laid there.
Clearly, he’d hada lot of sex in the past from the way he teased my body. Even with my novice status, I could appreciate how much control it took for him to hold back with me like that.
Maybe I wouldn’t be enough for him, and he’d move on tosomeone with more experience before giving me the chance to learn how to please him properly. From my perspective, he more than lived up to my expectations. The sexual chemistry and tension between us was almost tangible.
Alfie’s strong, sexy body, talented mouth and magical hands had pleasured me in places I had never imagined as erogenous zones before. I really wanted to repeat the experience with him and hoped he felt the same way.
Turning away from the mirror I turned the bath faucet on, fillingmy bathtub. The sensitive flesh between my legs ached, and I wanted to soothe it. I sat nursing the ache, and it worked. After a while I didn’t notice it anymore, until I rose to get out of the bath again.
It wasa pleasant soreness though, it reminded me of the fabulous feelings Alfie had stirred in me. Pouring some rose scented bodywash onto a sponge, I enjoyed the silky feeling on my skin as I washed myself.
It was so comforting and pleasant, the smell reminded me of home, and I made a mental note to call my parents.
As I lathered myself, I was thinking back to the things we had done the night before. Rinsing out the sponge, the water seeped back into it again when I resubmerged it. Squeezing it out over my breasts, I watched as the water cascaded over the foam, washing it down and off my body.
Definite feelings stirred in me about wanting to see Alfie again. I wasn’t that confident he would want to see me though. I didn’t feel I knew enough to keep his attention. I wasn’t sure if his comment about not being able to love me was meant for my ears or something he had muttered to himself, and I had no idea what he had meant.
Stepping outof the tub, I enveloped myself in a huge, fluffy white towel, and made my way back to my bedroom. I grabbed my cell from my purse and remembered I needed to charge it for the next day. As I plugged the cell into thecharger. I noticed there was a text from Alfie. My mouth was dry, and I was kind of reluctant to open it, afraid of being rejected by him.
SEXPERT: Pink Lady, I am writing to confirm that your recent application for the position of fuck buddy has been successful. Terms and conditions as negotiated prior to start date. I look forward to having you… and your assets on board.
My mouth stretched into a slow smile as I read it and started to text a reply.
Pink Lady: I am writing to confirm my acceptance of said post, to which you refer. I am happy to bring my assets to support your more… hidden talents. Together I am confident that we will utilize these to their full potential. I look forward to meeting the challenge of a demanding work schedule and hope to meet your requirements leading to many satisfactory outcomes in the future.
I hit the send button and held the phone to my chest, closing my eyes. Within a few seconds I heard another text arrive.
SEXPERT: Are you awake?
Pink Lady: No, multi-talented, I always text in my sleep!
SEXPERT: LMAO, want to play? Can I come over?
Pink Lady: Nope, my roommates are sleeping. *waggingfinger andshaking head*
