He was shocked awake while in the middle of an very erotic and strange dream. Mathew felt comfort when he saw his wife, Trish, lying peacefully beside him still in the arms of slumber.
His limbs felt heavy and he felt as if he had a hangover even if he had not been drinking the night before. Strange dream, he thought and then some of the dream came back to him. There was the woman. There was the hotel room. There was putting his arms around her as she gazed out the window. Then there was the way she turned to face him in an embrace.
He remembered her taking his hand and slipping his middle finger into her mouth and sucking gently. He also remembered that caused him to feel an electric shock through his whole body.
And then nothing. Did it end there? What was he missing? Damn! What happened to the good part?
Mathew quietly got out of bed, careful not to disturb his wife. He went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. As he pulled his pajama top off, it stuck to his skin and he thought "what the hell?". He eased the fabric off of his shoulder and was horrified to see what looked like a bite mark.
His mind raced as he tried to reconstruct his evening. Dinner with Trish, an hour or so of television and a little bit of time on Facebook (his guilty pleasure). In bed by 10:30 and asleep by 10:45. What caused the place on his shoulder?
As he stepped into the steaming hot water and felt it wash over him, a feeling of guilt and shame overwhelmed him. He remembered flashes of his dream, the woman, the hotel room, the embrace, the woman's sucking mouth. Mathew felt like crying. If he could betray Trish so easily in his dream, could it be that much more difficult to betray her in real life? The answer shamed him but also excited him.
In another City, a woman smiled and thought about tasting the flesh of Mathew's shoulder with just one bite.
The prompt for this little missive was "One Bite". I hope you enjoyed it but I probably won't do any more "porn" for a while. To see who else did what else, please check out "We Work For Cheese" for a list of participants.
I'm so glad you finished the tale. This was great fun, Linda.
ReplyDeleteYour writing is very good. I was enthralled.
ReplyDeleteIt's far from finished, Jayne. They are still in the dream stage.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanie. You might want to read the previous post "The Succubus" for a little background on this one.
ReplyDeleteOh, good! Because I'm dying to know Trish's reaction to that bite.
ReplyDeleteSomebody's gonna have some 'splainin' to do... and the poor guy really won't have an excuse!
ReplyDeleteMaybe, maybe not. You never know how these things are going to end up, do you?
ReplyDeletePoor Trish. How can any woman compete with a dream?
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be getting a little warm in here…or is it just me?
ReplyDeleteI think all that romping around with Dylan has gotten you a little warm, Dufus!
ReplyDeleteNice job, Linda. It is a bit warm in here....maybe it's the wine.
ReplyDeleteMatthew had a deliciously naughty dream that was a little too real. I wonder how will he talk his way out of this while sporting some guilty evidence?
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!!!! That is so beautifully written... tantalizing, sexy, intriguing, mysterious... I loved the ending... one of my favorite things you have written.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Katherine. I tried to go far enough, but not "too" far with this stuff. Hopefully, I succeeded in not offending too many people.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a talent for writing erotica, though... so, if you ever decided to go down that road, you'd probably have great success!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ms DarkStar! I think the only erotica that I really appreciate is the kind that let's our own head fill in the blanks. Unfortunately, a lot of times it calls for a lot more graphic descriptions than I require to find erotic!
ReplyDeleteVery dark and creepy. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fiona! I thought it was horror movie stuff too!
ReplyDeleteOh snap!! Love this Linda! Incredible twists! Very well done, indeed!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Baby Girl! Old Mathew is playing innocent even to himself. He knows full well who the woman is but he's trying to make himself believe he doesn't.
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd get that!
ReplyDeleteA perfect follow-up to your succubus tale, Linda!
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of like Eve and the apple, I think.
ReplyDeleteYep! xoxo
ReplyDeleteFascinating. I like the way you got inside Mathew's head and explored his motivations. Also...that other woman? Chills.
ReplyDeleteK! That other woman only goes where a man lets her go! Now calm down!
ReplyDeleteI loved this! And the one before. I want to know more! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lucy Dream! I adore your name!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully intriguing continuation to the story, Linda! One bite.. I do so love a little pain with my pleasure.
ReplyDeleteIt's like adding a bit of salt to the sweetness, Ziva!
