Six months ago…
When you’re raised in the lifestyle I was, you realize that there’s life and then there’s death. Once you’re dead, you’re dead, there’s no coming back; but, on that day, I realized that you can experience death and rebirth at the same time.
That’s what it was like for me today. I had just dropped her brother back off at his truck so he could pick her up after school, and by the time I circled around to pull off, she was out, moving from one car to the other joining him. And I was struck. My heart stopped. And then I saw her smile and it began to beat again in a different rhythm, a rhythm only for her.
She looked like an angel, creamy skin and red hair glowing in the sun. She looked free of sin, moral wrong, and evil…unlike me. Her beauty was incomparable to all others, but surely because she didn’t realize it. Her innocence gave me hope. It made me feel like there was a reason to make things different in the world for once…instead of encouraging the chaos.
Life had come pretty easy to me so far.Thingscame to me easily. When I wanted them. And if they didn’t, my brothers and I were taught from a young age how to make it happen. We didn’t have love and hugs, but we had a strong knowledge of how to survive and stay on top. How to thrive in a harsh world. How to make money. Lots of it.
Danny and I carried out this drop as we did all the others. I’d follow him to this side of town after his work at the golf course was done, to supervise his runs, in his piece of shit truck rather than my Lambo of course. Then he’d drop me back at my car well before it was time to get his sister from school or work. That was the deal. She was never to know. And I had no problem with that until today.
My role in the family business didn’t require me to make runs with our pawns, but now that I’d seen her, I never wanted to stop. But I knew it would only be for glimpses…little peaks into her life. Because she deserved better than me, someone gentle, upstanding, easy…and none of the things my life brought with it.
I press the pedal down hard, revving the engine, and pull out with barely enough time to beat the oncoming traffic. The drive back to James Island is a haze until I'm finally back where I belong. Darkness coats the long stretch of road, lined by the aged mossy oaks and marsh, and no amount of blaring music can keep her image from dancing in my mind, coaxing me to turn around…see her…fuck her. So I respond in anger, pressing the pedal harder each time, daring to end it all for myself if I even surmise troubling her with my tethered soul.
I jerk my car to a halt in my driveway and climb the cobblestone steps to my house, stomping straight to the kitchen, switching on my lights, and finding the decanter of whiskey on the counter. I grab a glass from the cabinet and pour a hefty serving, slamming it down my throat and then I pour another, taking it down letting and the burn coat all my frustrations.
I look at my Rolex and it’s late. But not too late.
I dial her number, “come over.” I don’t ask. “I’ll have the car pick you up.”
The doorbell rings twenty minutes later and I announce for her to come in.
She shuts the door behind her.
"Here," I call out from the couch and she appears in the entryway from the foyer.
Her dark brown hair is tied back in a high ponytail the way I like and her long black coat is tied around her waist. Her hands rest on the tie, knowing what's coming.
“Open it.”
She pulls the tie loose and her coat falls open. She elegantly moves her shoulders so the fabric easily falls down her arms exposing the flesh that peaks out of her lingerie. Her black bra is see-through and her barely there bottoms to match. Leaving only her long legs trailing down to shiny black heels.
I lean back stretching my arms on the couch around me and she takes her cue. She lands between my legs, kneeling, and unbuttons my slacks. My jaw clenches as I breathe in heavily watching. My cock has been ready for over an hour…ever since I saw the angel. The brunette frees my throbbing appendage without moving much of my clothing and meets my gaze. I nod in approval and her mouth meets my flesh.
I push my hips up forcing more of me into her mouth and when she hesitates to go further I grab her ponytail and pull it, lowering her head more, listening to her adjust to me as she takes me in.
Her tongue goes to work coating my skin as her head begins to bob and I pull her hair tighter dropping my head back on the couch and closing my eyes.
All I see is red. Beautiful porcelain skin, a sweet smile, her hair blowing in the wind as she runs through a field of tall green grass. She’s running from me playfully, knowing that when I catch her, I’ll worship every inch of her body.
The brunette moans as my cock grows even stiffer in her mouth and I yank her head up. Her weak eyes search mine.
“Fuck me!” I pull her up in a hurry and she straddles me as I push her tiny fabric to the side. Her channel takes me in and our mouths drop.
I close my eyes again and feel the angel on top of me. Her dainty body lowering onto me, taking away all my sins, teaching me a new way, showing me what love is.
My eyes open seeing the brunette grinding on my lap and I close them again, retreating to my happy place. I'm close and I place my hands on top of the woman’s shoulders pushing her down so that she has no choice but to roll into my cock. Her moans entice me to push deeper.
Red…that’s all I see…red…and I explode into her sweet little palace.
My growl fills the room and my stomach clenches in pain directly afterward knowing it wasn't really her. It won't be her, ever.
I pick the brunette up and put her beside me as we recover and I tuck myself back inside my pants.
