Mate in Red (M)

"DAMMIT!"

The pernicious feeling was carping in the air. Something wasn't right. Something that is beyond logical to define for her sanity. Like behind the depth of darkness, someone was pulling her inside manipulating every imperilment sign. The more she walks the more dreadful her footsteps become. Her mind wants explanations that are yet to be forced. Intuitions screamed urging caution to run back to safety; it was a gut-feeling instinctive reaction of humans. Then why was she still here?

"Tired," 

Eliena spun around feeling a sudden cold breeze whistling against the back of her head, still nothing other than darkness. The light seems to have lost all the traces of living in, betraying her with the unknown. "Where are you?"

"Everywhere." A childlike speaker sweetly quips with joy causing her to jump back. " Scared?" This time the feminine tone underlying from where she stood.

Eliena backed away until something frigid hard collided against the small of her back  she shivered feeling the coldness   

A wall– wait why would—

Cruel amused laughter chimed in the boundless space deep throaty giggles aroused every atom inside her trembling body. The hair on the back of her neck rises as her birthmark sparks to life.

Another wave of breeze and a weight pressed into her. She squinted her eyes. " Don't be, Eliena." The woman whispers cold breaths falling upon her lips.

Through the corner of her vision, she saw yellowish orbs gleaming in the dark staring into her soul, a chilly sensation crawling beneath her skin. Eliena was trapped prey and her predator caroused in it. "What do you want from me?" 

"Everything." 

A tremor courses within her body weakening her knees; the perspicuity of words becomes extremely apparent. 

What was happening? Why?

Eliena swallowed down the wet moisture of her saliva. Was she trapped? Then why Her body was refusing to follow paths, her mind was dazed. This situation was utterly bewildering. Was she lost? And has Nowhere to run. Will it be her end? In here in the dark alone with…with something, a devil, a woman, a woman named Lilith

How ironic, Eliena wanted to scoff. The perfect teacher's pet — Eliena Warner who always had solutions for everything, and finds a route in every problematic situation is going to die because of some…what a stupid fucking game! Isabelle Carter if I survived you'll be the first person to kill. 

A dry laugh escaped past her lips as she rested her head against the cold wall. "Why me?" 

" Because you called," the woman replies her voice is low, laden with sincerity

Maybe it was simple. The woman appeared because she'd been called and soon enough she'll leave. Just like everyone else." What are you gonna do?"

" Everything you want ." 

She couldn't help but relax, the sleekness of utterances caressed her skin deeper to flesh til it stirred her thumping heart. She closed her eyes, allowing the silence to swallow poignant memories that ached her mind. Would this woman give her the peace she seeks? " Will you kill me?" she finds herself saying

Serenity, being surrounded by darkness wasn't terrifying but in a blink, the cold weight of the body that crashed against her provoked a cry of surprise. The feeling of her heartbeat slowly became void as her chest began to trice causing her lungs to wheeze for oxygen. She wanted to clutch her heart but her hands weren't moving.

Her vision blurred being pressed against the frigid stone and the coldness of the woman was probably the major reason why she'd be dead by now or that's what she thought.

In a moment or two, the next sensation that enveloped her was icy breaths against her neck and that ain't the only thing a cold tongue licks up a path to her collarbone. Eliena whimpers, deep drags of inhale nuzzle to her sensitive skin." Never again," the woman rasped, arching into, pressing a hand to her ribs. 

The pulsing beats placated. "Will you hurt me?" Eliena breaths looking down into the amber eyes 

Tender touches glide atop her surging chest fingertips firm onto her nipple gently catching the hardened bud between thumb and forefinger over her t-shirt, pinching it drawing guttural moans from her earns a vicious smirk." Do you want me to?" the stranger inquired with feign innocence

"Lilith…" That name decays like a curse, either a highly painful and oddly familiar prayer as if she has said it before numerous times in numberless forms in various ways

"Yes Eliena," Lilith cups her over the trousers, pressing down her clit just enough to give a taste pleasure,  Eliena moans. The sweetness of arousal was still damped between her legs, a hot rush of thrill heaved through her as the icy cool finger slipped inside. " I know what you want,"  

Eliena shrieks, suffocating for air. This woman was so cold and she was turned on in the dark puddling even, enticed by the notions of how captivating this could be if only her predator would let her see and allow the slightest stream of lights. She yearned for it; she wished to discern if the woman was dripping for her as much as her when she twisted her fingers roughly while pathetic desperation moans flowed. " Please." 

"You are so warm, divine My Angel," The woman said.

Again the words drank in her flesh tickling her birthmark throbbing with flames, head spun dizzily. Soft kisses startled her throat endlessly with coldness deriving deep whines within her. " I-I'll do everything," 

Playful giggles brim sensually another kiss pressed on her pulse she cursed inwardly with desires grumbling how long she had to wait. Hasn't she had enough of this torture? this coy play rutting herself with coldness in this insanity feeling, her blood slowly turning icy wasn't this all enough?

"Patience is a virtue," the voice grew strained by a dint of profoundness obtaining an undeniable hunger as if she, is too, trying to savor this torment, mad with emotions although they swooped in it winding through.

"y-your c-cold, i-I can't," Eliena struggles to keep her voice, lips shuddering deep breaths as the tips of fingers press against her entrance still, torturing. The eyes gleam in glee, forehead nestled against the crook of her neck an intimate gesture that held tempting domination. 

"Then warm me to the core." 

Something wrapped around her waist. Tightening her back before Eliena could bring it together, the ground beneath her feet vanished suddenly she felt being flung away with sudden force, and then her body plopped on softness. 

Softness of silk entwined delicate, cozy before it cut into the bare skin of her legs, and then, all together came the raw pain fierce, brutal, pulsing like sharp a blade was piercing inside her heart, furiously gnawing every shade along her nerves core tasting each her muscles flaring into every neuron inside her living flesh abrupt, violent, awakening knocking laborious ragged puff of air before she even had a chance to gasp down. 

"You promised!"  Accused a voice, slitting from behind somewhere in the dark almost splitting her auricles apart.

She screamed in agony clutching her forehead. Digging her fingernails inside her scalp until she could her brain pounding inside the skull wailing instinctively like an animal it was foreign. Eliena never knew she could sob but now she was

"I know, it will be okay, My Precious." 

Eliena cried out harder desperately hoping for mercy but had received none her pulsing heart was ripped off probably something was pulling it out of her ribcage, someone surely was this far away mortal.

"Eliane," 

" Marry him…." 

"...palace is not my home, you are…"

She sobs, panic has overwhelmed her consciousness curling like a ball she mourned again. "make i-it s-stop! Stop it! s-stop!" 

"It will trust me." 

Yet, the pain has taken over her reflexes. She screams louder painful old memories of the past alight inside excruciating cries, tears streaming down beyond the veil of agony when it felt forever. 

Something warm touches the deathly cold skin of her arm, almost pulling her in warmth. "You're hurting yourself. Stop pushing it so much, My Love."  

Voices echos  aside her wailing the woman's comfort words other voices of faceless images, screams, bellowing in outrage flashes of restless visions everywhere  

"Liar!" A voice yells in anger 

"I'll wait for you," Someone sighed. 

"...what if I never come?" an impish tone inquired childishly

" I will hunt you to the end."  Someone replied. 

"What if I'm not there? " 

".....you find me then," 

Being blinded in grief Eliena aimlessly claws when her hands find an en masse source of heat at once. The dark birthmark behind her neck penetrates inside.

Intense coldness slowly melts away with warmness pain dulled, numbing her arduous muscles.  She wanted to run. Who the hell was doing this to her? How dare they! Tormenting her mind salting the wounds inside her head and those voices who were they? What are they?

" I got you," 

Her eyelids were heavy as if it was sealed by someone she tried again and again again till she managed to catch a faint red glow ahead. The universe around her was dim, misty, blurred, and red. She inhaled into the warm touch of hands that cradled her in someone's arms. She was being held ever so carefully like a newborn. " Mom?" 

A genuine laugh swam against her earlobe, gently palms stroking her back. " Do you miss her that much?" Eliena relaxed in the familiar melodic intone. " Such a brave Mama's girl My Darling is."  

Kindness remarks caused her heart to race, the corner of her mouth curled into a smile with much effort. She moved her arm and fully opened her eyes to look at the woman whose arms were her blanket.

Beneath the red moon lights shimmer over both of their skin. Eliena was mesmerized…

Dimwit all the concern, pain, nausea, and the fact that she was far, far away from her dorm room, her friends, and college,  naturally without permission she cupped the woman's face to study her features, and this time Lilith let her almost beckoning her to do so

Eliena was impatient and captured powerless in those deep pools of warmth. She had seen eyes before beautiful even, though those never held these fond devoted secrets guarded to be unveiled.

Her thumb gingerly touched the pretty nose and the scant flushed cheeks visions of girlish aura that seemed to be witnessed before, somewhere, a cattish alluring grin remained on the woman's delicate lips, seeming to read every thought Eliena had, and was eager to know more. " Like what you see?"  

Resounding in her thoughts were screaming. 'Yes,' 

A hand smoothly rested over her's with an ever-soft peak the woman kissed her palm, a shift of intensity, an elixir of sensation radiating within their body heat.

Embarrassed like an innocent timid newly wedded bride ripple of heat flourishes on her cheeks, gaze cast down when she realises their positions she is practically sitting in the woman's lap but Lilith doesn't seem to mind she is gripping her firmly in a possessive grip that prevented any escape even if Eliena attempts 

"I can feel your heart, Love." The woman sighs 

"And how does it feel?" 

"Mine," 

The pads of her fingers artistically traced the outline of sensuous lips. Eliena 's smile falters as the woman adds again. " I can feel you," 

 "How do I feel?" 

"Heaven," phrases hymns with devotions. Lilith leaned closer. " My only Heaven." words repeated like liquor of gold, something dark gleaming behind the depth in her eyes. " In this hell." Eliena froze, again her hands refusing to process the smirk on the woman's lips twisted into a cruel one. " Isn't this lovely,"   

Again this coy play. she smiled back as an idea lit inside her head she hummed before propelling herself forward their lips met with innocence. The woman shuddered almost taken aback by the gesture in return the spellbound broke 

Warm, soft, flowers— Eliena carefully drew back, staying only a breath away waiting for any objection, anything that would provoke her to go further or stop her. 

"Sweet," the dazzling sweet talker's voice hoarse, evidently on the verge of struggle to control, eyes drop on Eliena's mouth, fingers roam inside her t-shirt caressing up to her spine causing her head to hazy in the mellowness, lips part in anticipation and Lilith kissed her.

A moan slipped into the woman's mouth as their tongue clasped a mixture of relief fluttering all the butterflies inside her stomach. 

Butterflies? No, not butterflies, not that crap. Eliena scolded herself.  This is ecstasy, divine, pure. The grasp on her back became rough, soft gentleness replaced with hunger.

Forbidden lusts swelled amidst spreading through every shred of her being. "Shit," she pants hard shortage of air in her lungs she whined as the woman yank her closer tilting her head affectionate kisses skimmed on her jaw begging for more skin 

"May I," 

With that soft plea, Eliena lost it."Yes, please yes," clutching the hem of her t-shirt she pulled it over and threw it away somewhere both hands placed behind the soft fabric she lent back displaying her chest to the woman whose greedy eyes stare drinking everything to fill 

Eliena sighs at the sensation of a warm tongue circling the areola before flicking across the bud, lips wrapping around and giving a hard suck. " Ah!" a struggling cry rose from the back of her throat. Their eyes locked. " Gentle." She snaps 

"Pardon me," the woman took a sharp inhale, keeping herself in check. "I'll be more cautious." 

And not too gently Eliena flinched when soft lips kissed over her cleavage giving each attention and care along her bosom claiming her skin with gentle nibbles. Delicious aches bloom between the apex of her legs as a hand grasps the swell of her breast,  

"Harder," a less feminine voice growled inhumanly

It can't be hers, her voice is not like perhaps a man right It was a man but who—

"More!" 

The pricing pain again sprang inside her head Eliena whimpered.

"Mmm...They floated in the streams of joy and sorrow so we can hide the pure sweetness of love over time, " soothing cradlesong could be hard, shy but delicate enough to reach her ears from somewhere someone was singing, calling even. 

She began to look around to find the source but none there was no end wherever Eliena was it was blurry except; the woman she was with and the soft fabric that she guessed to be a bed there was nothing other than red 

"No stop."  

Eliena didn't her eyes were searching squinting to discover. Maybe if I try harder to look I—

" Stop listening to it!" The hurtled cry eases her mind. " I've waited. You're mine now." the hand on her waist tightened pulling her away from the pain. " Those are bad memories, don't go there," they warn

"But they're yours." 

The Cradlesong soon faded; she put one hand on the woman's shoulder, and another one disappeared into the soft curls as she leaned and kissed the earlobe. " Keep touching me." She feels something possibly a low hum, maybe a groan or a moan. 

Eliena glanced again and caught her expression.  Catch her eyes. Mad, hurt, scared, tearful, beautiful,—so beautiful those eyes are. " Touch me, everywhere."
