I really didn’t. She was going to take me places I never wanted to revisit. “Sure.”
We breezed through the guest rooms, the bathroom, and the kitchen before she pulled me intotheroom… the den. The place of my nightmares. Green carpet still covered the floor. I knew exactly how it smelled without placing my nose near it. A plaid sofa was pushed up against the wall. My face itched in remembrance of how scratchy the texture was on my cheek. Worst of all, I remembered how her father’s face looked locked into a scream for all eternity as his body lay in a pile of blood under where the coffee table now sat.
“Want to watch a movie with me?” Essa’s perky voice broke my flashback.
“What were you watching before I got here?” I swallowed, trying to still my racing heart. At least the memories of the horrid murder were hampering my libido. Could I stay in this room and be okay?
“I was watchingBuffy the Vampire Slayer. It’s my favorite show. You ever seen it?”
“Can’t say I have. Want to show it to me?” Wow! The girl could light up with the right phrase, her dazzling smile almost making my heart stop beating.
Grasping my large hand with her tiny one, I allowed her to tug me toward the sofa, and we squeezed in next to each other. My body was still stiff, unsure if it needed to depart from some unperceived danger, but Essa was completely at ease around me. I wanted to make sure she felt safe. “Yes! We can start with episode one of season one. Season one is probably the weakest, but if you keep going, you’ll really love the show. The smartest, most clever writing of any TV show in history.”
I chuckled. “I’ll take your word for it.” Her enthusiasm was helping me relax.
“I think there’s some popcorn in the cabinet. I’ll be right back. I don’t have any beer or anything—”
“I don’t drink.” I hadn’t meant to snap at her, but being in this place was putting me on edge. My past was wrestling with the future standing in front of me.
“No problem. I’ll grab you some water and be right back.”
Attempting to recline on the sofa in a comfortable position did not work. I gave up after a minute and wandered into the kitchen. Being alone in the den would only cause the flashbacks to get worse. Besides, I was compelled to be closer to Essa’s body. Especially her round ass in the yoga pants. As she reached into a cabinet, her shirt pulled up, revealing a smooth sliver of skin on her back.
“I’ll help. Where’re the glasses?” She pointed to the shelf above her. In two steps, I pressed my waist into her butt, then tickled her side with a finger as I reached to grab the popcorn. She giggled, a sound so beautiful, I closed my eyes for a moment to memorize it. Never did I think I’d be privileged enough to hear it, and the sound shot electric waves down my spine and into my crotch.
We gathered our snacks and drinks, heading back to the den. She started the video, and I chose a seat away from her on the sofa. I tried to pay attention to the show because I knew it was important to her, but she wasright there. Her apple scent filtered over to me. Every time she took a breath, her chest rose, making her cleavage dance in her tank top. All I wanted to do was stare at how beautiful she was.
She shivered, then folded her feet under herself while explaining something happening on the screen. Reaching an arm over, I scooted her into my side. Pulling a crochet blanket off the back of the sofa, I tucked both of us underneath it snugly, and she fit. We fit. Like we had done this every night. And we had… in my dreams.
With her head just under my chin, every inhale was filled with her scent. I was afraid my dick would stab her side as it grew harder with each breath. She raised her head up to look at me, so close that I could kiss her. My lips tingled.
“Eli?” Her gaze met my face as she breathed on me. Big, innocent eyes beholding me like I had all the answers.
“Hmm?” I felt high.
“Should we… um. Should you prepare me for… um. Eli? I’ve never done anything with a guy before. I’m worried I’ll disappoint you or mess up the video.”
I wanted to laugh. She had no idea that’s exactly why she was hired.
“No, you definitely won’t disappoint me, and there is nothing to mess up. I told you I’d take care of you. I’ll be right there with you.”
She settled happily back into my side. A little while later, she glanced up again.
“Should you do anything like… Should we kiss, or can you show me how to, like, do a blow job?”
I closed my eyes tightly, and an involuntary moan escaped my lips. Sit, animal, sit! “Essa, we’ve got time. Let’s enjoy the show. Tell me more about it.” The corners of her eyes crinkled with hurt, so I pulled her closer into my body, letting my thumb graze along her upper arm to soothe her.
“Oh, okay.” She prattled on about it a bit before growing quiet again. Deeply inhaling her scent, my lips grazed the top of her head.
My phone buzzed with a text.
