Heart of Darkness

He put one hand on the door beside her head before leaning forward. What was he doing? Trying to intimidate her again? “Truth is…” He began to speak in a low voice and she strained her ears but all she could hear was her heartbeat. “I hate when you touch me because I like it so much.” Her eyes widened in surprise and he leaned even closer before continuing to speak. “I also hate the way you smell…” she could hear him inhale her scent “You smell delicious. And I hate your hair because it’s tempting. I want to run my fingers through it, pull it gently while I taste your lips and bite your neck.” Angelica suddenly felt like there was no air left in the room. “Your touch makes me unable to resist doing those things and all the other things I want to do to you.” “Oth...other things.” She breathed not realizing she was thinking loudly. One side of his lips curved into a smile. “Imagine all the things a man would want to do to you. I want to do those things and much more.” He leaned closer bringing his lips next to her ear. “Because I am no man. I am a beast. A hungry one. So unless you want me to bite you, refrain from touching me.” **************** A woman alone in a man’s world.

Biting pleasure

Roxana stood on the balcony of her new home, staring at the ocean ahead. Alexander had chosen the perfect location for their home, still near the ocean where she was used to. 

While she watched the afternoon sun, he sat among her old friends in the room. The cats. After having lunch Roxana suggested they take the leftovers to the cats and they ended up bringing them home. 

Her friends liked comfort after eating their food. Roxana usually took an afternoon nap with them whenever they met, so Alexander watched them confused when they kept snuggling and brushing themselves against him. 

"I didn't know I attracted cats as well." He joked. "They like me a little too much. They are just like you." 

She shook her head in denial. 

"Especially this one." He said pointing at the one rubbing herself along his leg. 

Roxana chuckled. "I don't do that." 

"No, you do other kinds of rubbing." He said causing her cheeks to burn.
