“I’ll make it interesting for both of us," she promises. Her nails rake me lightly. Goose bumps radiate from every burning pinprick. I am not afraid. I burn. I want her so badly. Like a madwoman, I don't care anymore what is real.
"You move," she tells me, “and I'm gone." The cloud of her lifts and it is all I can do to hold myself still until she comes back.
"You must hold yourself absolutely still. Absolutely."
Her skin burns me where it touches. I stiffen, holding myself for her. Her weight comes down until I shudder with pleasure.
Instantly her body lifts, becomes again a cloud. Her phantom laughter is rich and close. I bite my lips and hold myself still again. She comes down again. So cold. So hot. I groan. She lifts, laughs, and rises again. It goes on and on.
Do you love me? Do you want me? Do you remember me? Do you hate me? Do you love me? I love you, love you, lover you, come all over you, come up into the dark of you, the pit of you. Pull me down into the pit of you. Memory and touch and taste. You are never alone, never going to be alone. If you cry, I will. If you scream, I will. If you are, I am.
