Happy Birthday

It was early April, the sixth to be exact. Finally, my eighteenth birthday. No more arguing over curfues, no more worrying about whether or not I had done my chores, and especially no more being told who I could date. 'This is the life..' I thought to myself as I sighed dreamily and watched a streak of lighting flash across the normally light ridden sky. I was never very fond of storms as a child, but now that I was older and knew that a small raindrop wouldn't drown my entire house, I really enjoy the mysteriousness they bring to cover up the boring daytime purity. How could you not see the beauty in it? The sky filled with clouds like chrome cotton on a black canvas. Silver drops melting from their lining to the shadowy asphalt down below.The cool winds whistling quietly behind the harsh pounds of thunder above it all. Still, even though I love every bit of the Spring showers that hit around my birthday, it is obvious that my favorite part was the lightning. To me it's kind of like stars at night, except every one of them shot across the sky so fast your eyes barely knew what hit them. It's amazing how such a small shock could brighten up the ebony mass and shake the entire world with it's thunder.1

Today however, I've been a bit too preoccupied to enjoy the dazzling lights and lions roaring in heaven. I was busy thinking about him. I looked out through my window in a daze. Watching as the skies tears slid slowly down to the pane and shattered into one large river of crystal.2

'I wonder where he is..' I muttered..'It's been so long he probably doesn't even remember my name.'3

Even as I said the words to myself it felt foolish. Of course he remembered me. He had to. I was just exaggerating the facts. It had only been a couple months since we'd had spoken, and when we had he had told me it might be a while until we did again. But then again, he had also told me that he wouldn't miss my birthday for the world..and where was he now? Not here. That's all that mattered. My mind sulked around some more, dipping through random thoughts in a huff.4

'What do I care?', I thought to myself,'He isn't all that great anyways. Besides, I would rather be alone on my birthday..On my eighteenth birthday. A day that is supposed to mean something special..'I sighed.5

'Yea, that's right. Your in denial.' said a voice in my head, that in my heart I knew was right.6

'Ugh. How could I be so stupid as to think a guy like him would care or even remember some dumb teenagers birthday or even my name for that matter. It's not like I blame him. What do I have that anyone else doesn't? Okay. So I am a bit confident, but even if I am pretty, smart, talented, or any of that other bull, so are a lot of other people. So are a lot of other people.' I had just answered a question I had been pondering subconsciously for a while.7

Was he really as amazing as he seemed? Yea, but so were a lot of other people. Weren't they?8

'Yea. They are. There are other good men in the world', I said out loud, half to myself and half hoping that by some okward miracle he would hear me.9

Just as I had started reassuring myself that I didn't need him to be with me, and that I would spend my birthday happy and all alone,10

the doorbell rang.11

It was only around 1 p.m. and most of my friends were still in school. The friends who weren't in school were at work. I hesitated. The doorbell rang again. I shook my head in an obvious attempt to stop myself from being silly. I'm not a child anymore, I could handle answering a door by myself. In the middle of a storm. With no one around. I could. Couldn't I?12

I crept out of my bedroom slowly and inched my way into the living room and in front of my hall door.13

Someone knocked.14

I entered the cramped hallway and looked at the door, as I reached for the knob a flash of light overwhelmed the darkness in the living room and made me jump.15

'Stop being such a coward.', I thought.'It's just lighting. You love lighting, remember?'16

I reached for the handle and opened the door. I looked around, but there wasn't anyone in site.17

I shrugged, partially to make myself believe I wasn't scared, and partially because I wasn't. Yet.18

I walked back to my room, but I paused at the threshold. I was sure the window had been shut all the way..Well..I must have just remembered wrong. Or something. I walked to the window, which was only open about and inch and shut it. At the moment it shut, I heard the doorbell ring again.19

'This is insane.', I thought.'I'm hearing things now. I will be the first person to be diagnosed clinically insane on my eighteenth birthday. A lot of people go crazy when they go legal, but usually not literally.'20

The doorbell rang.21

I pulled myself together and walked back to the front door. This time, when I opened the door, there still was no one to be seen, but there was a something. I looked down at the package. It didn't have a stamp. There was a sticker with my name and address on it, but there was no stamp. That meant that it wasn't sent through the post office, which meant that it must have been delivered personally..22

I brought the package off the porch, which was drenched in rain. I couldn't help but noticed that the package, for having been carried in the rain, was particularly, DRY..23

I sat down by my computer desk with it and opened it up. Inside I found..a letter. Nothing else. Just a letter. This might not have been weird had the box not been around two feet on every side. I looked at it a bit curious a bit apprehensive. After debating it in my mind I realized that there were only two options.24

Open it, and find out the answer to this intriguing mystery.25

Or close the box up and call the police saying that there was a strange package, with a letter in it, on my porch, on my birthday, and I was afraid it was going to get me. Yea. I picked the first one.26

I opened the letter. It smelled like cologne. I looked at it and read it slowly. It was a riddle. A simple one, but still a riddle.27

Or close the box up and call the police saying that there was a strange package, with a letter in it, on my porch, on my birthday, and I was afraid it was going to get me. Yea. I picked the first one.28

I opened the letter. It smelled like cologne. I looked at it and read it slowly. It was a riddle. A simple one, but still a riddle.29

'What's the worst that could happen?', I thought.'You could die.', I began going over all the most horrible scenarios in my mind, but I was interrupted by a banging sound from my room. The window. 'The wind must have blown a branch, which hit the window. That's all.', I said to myself.30

I didn't believe it.31

I walked to my room slowly, trying to ignore the noises that came from the area and dismissing what I couldn't ignore as the wind, my cats, or anything else I could come up with on such short notice.32

I had went over a few ideas of what would happen in my mind, but even if I had went over all of them and then some, this would not have been one of them.33

I stood by the threshold of my room. The window I had just closed was wide open and the curtains were blowing in, along with a good amount of wind and rain. I looked to my bed. On it I saw another box, but that wasn't the part that made my jaw drop. The bed was filled with rose petals. My light was out and there were candles on my nightstand. I was in too much of a shock to even be afraid and my curiosity wound up getting the best of me. I walked to the window and shut it, then I walked over to my bed. I kneeled on the covers. Silk. Silk and velvet. Silk covers may not seem like anything weird, but since they hadn't been there when I went to the door, it was. I did my best to ignore it and my attention shifted to the box. It was white and it had a crimson red bow on top, as dark as blood. I read the small tag hanging off the side of the bow.34

'Remember what I said.'35

I opened it slowly and was careful not to rip the ribbon on it at all. I never ripped the ribbon.36

I opened it and pulled aside the thin tissue paper. What I saw made more than just my jaw react. This time my heart fell with it. It was silk and lace. Ruby Red. Almost completely see through. The top had diamonds where the breasts would meet. It is possible the most beautiful piece of lingerie I have ever seen.37

There was another note. It was under the nighty when I lifted it up for a closer look. I placed the red beauty on my pillow and picked up the letter.38

'If you want your present go into the bathroom and put this on. When your ready for it, just come out.'39

I was shaking now. I had to know in the back of my mind that this was insane, but there was a part of me that really enjoyed the rush. I mean really in a more than what's good for me kind of way. I stared at the note for a few seconds and walked to the bathroom, which brings me to where I am now.40

It took me a minute or so to put on the red floss. Tooth floss. That's definitely what it feels like I'm wearing. I looked in the mirror and to my surprise I feel kind of pretty in it. It flows beautifully and falls on my curves just the right way so it hugs the right ones and hid the wrong ones. I am still in my bathroom now. Looking in the mirror. It's only been about two minutes, but I am just nervous. This is the weirdest situation I have ever been in. I mean come on. How often to packages appear in your house when YOUR the only one home and tell YOU what to wear? Still..I have nothing better to do and even though I have a lot to lose I think the adventure might be worth the risk.41

I'm walking out of the room and through the kitchen.42

When I got to my doorway I found a note taped to it's wooden frame.43

'Sit on your bed.'44

My bed. I was being told what to do in my house. Was I really going to let a letter tell me what to do? Was I going to follow rules set by some person I didn't even know who could turn out to be a complete psycho? That is completely absurd. Insane. I am outraged. How could anyone think I would just listen to these silly riddles?45

I'm going to sit down.46

I'm half kneeling on my bed with one leg under the other. It's only been a few seconds, but it feels like I've been waiting forever. Waiting. Waiting for what? I'm not sure exactly. It could be anything. Maybe death. I doubt it. I'm too young to die. Okay. So that never works in the movies, but I am hoping if someone tries killing me tonight it would make them laugh so hard at my stupidity that I have a chance to run and..47

"shh.."a voice echoed from in the screaming silence."Your thinking too loud and it's ruining my concentration."48

'I-I..' I stuttered a bit afraid and a bit anxious. I stutter when I'm nervous.'Who's there?'49

I searched the room with my eyes a bit, but I felt like I was frozen with fear and couldn't turn.50

"Don't turn around. Just close your eyes."he said. I knew it was a man because of the raspy..deep..sexy..well.. because of the sound of his voice.51

'L-like I'm going to..'I swallowed hard.'Like I'm going to listen to you?!?'I said a bit more shakily than I have planned.52

"You have so far.", he laughed a little."Just calm down. I'm not going to hurt you. Unless you want me to."53

The voice kept getting closer. I swallowed hard again.54

'W-what do you want?'55

"What I want isn't important. What's important is what you want."he spoke so surely that I couldn't help but be intimidated by his confidence, even facing away from him.56

"What do you want?"57

I hesitated.'I-I dunno what I want.'I felt so flush. The way he spoke made my skin crawl and burn. In a good way.58

"Oh really?"he laughed again. I wished he wouldn't. It made me blush and feel a bit, naked. Of course, with what I was, or should I say wasn't wearing, made me feel that way already, in a different sense of the word.59

"Well,"he kept on ignoring my obvious nerves."I was sure you wanted your present..but if you don't.."he dragged off a bit, but to my own surprise I interrupted him.60

'No. I want it.'I said a bit more desperately than I had expected. Not that I had expected it at all.'I-I really want it..'61

It wasn't until after I had said it that I noticed I had no clue was "it" was. I guess he read my mind because..62

"Pleasure"63

'Excuse.Excuse Me?'I said. Although I was sure that by now I knew exactly what he meant. I was eighteen and I was naive, not stupid. I guess he read my mind again, because he stayed silent.'I've..I mean..I never..I haven't ever.."I stuttered for a while, but he eventually interrupted me sounding a bit more amuse than I would have hoped.64

"I know. Which is why I thought it would be the perfect gift. I told you in the letter that this gift came with a choice. The choice is to keep what you have, or..to give it to me and let me give it to you."65

I shivered slightly at the blunt sexual notions hidden within that simple comment.66

'What do I have to give you?'67

That was one of the dumbest questions I had asked in my life and with the way he responded I regretted it almost as much.68

"Your virginity. My fantasies. You." My blood is pumping so quickly that it feels like waves inside me and it's so hot that I feel like it's boiling under my skin. How can he say it so gently and so harshly at the same time?69

'Oh', I feel so stupid. Wait. Why do I feel stupid? I am talking to a complete stranger. How can I even imagine, even fathom, even consider doing something this wild and crazy? Even if the man behind it all seems to be the perfect Mr.Right Now. I am not sure I want to sleep with the first man who leaves a package on my doorstep, buys me lingerie, sneaks into my window and puts it on my bed, hides behind me, and speaks to me in the sexiest voice I have ever heard. Yes I do, but sometimes life isn't about what you want, but what you need.70

It was silent for a minute.71

"So?"he said patiently."I do have all day you know. For you at least."72

I blushed. 'I don't even know who you are.'73

"You know me a lot better than you think my darling."74

A flash of lighting shot across the sky and lit up the chilly room that for some reason felt particularly hot..75

"I promised you that we would see each other soon."76

My heart was racing now. No. It couldn't be. He couldn't be HERE. Not NOW. Not without notice and definitely NOT like this..77

'No.'That was all I could manage to spit out.78

He's laughing again. Come to think of it. That laugh sounds very familiar. Could it really be him?79

'Prove it.'I said.80

"I'd love to, but I need you to accept my offer."81

My mind was mixing words, my heart was beating like drums in a marching band, my pulse felt like hot lava under my flesh, my breathing was quick and loud. I was scared. He had to know I was scared. What other choice did I have? If it was him, I would have easily accepted his proposal. I wish I could say that wasn't true, but he was the type of guy I wanted to be with. He was the type of man I couldn't resist.82

'Okay.'I said, my voice trembling noticeably compared to his which was consistently smooth, strong and steady.83

"Okay what?" he chuckled."I want you to say it.84

Say that you want it."85

'WHAT?' I was in disbelief.86

"Tell me the truth. If you want me say it. Say 'I want you'."87

I paused. 'I want you', I said it so fast I was shocked he even heard me, but he must have because..88

"Say please."89

If this was him I would definitely get him back for this later. How could he make me do that when he knew how nervous I was? How could he think I would do whatever he said? How could anyone think I am going to sit here like I am desperate and practically beg for them. So I said it.90

'Please.'91

"What was that? Please what." I could tell he was enjoying it and it kind of annoyed me, but by now my whole body was burning and I was anxious to take what he wanted to give and to give what he wanted to take.92

'Please. Please me.' I felt so dumb saying those words and not looking him in the eyes, although I knew I would have felt even dumber if I had been trying to look him in the eyes. I still haven't turned around. He laughed again, but this time it was different.93

"You don't have to beg."He taunted me.94

Now I was a bit annoyed by it. 'Okay. You know what I.."95

He must not have known what because I had to stop at I.96

All of a sudden I felt something hot on my neck. Air.97

My skin tingled with the cool breeze mixed with his rhythmic breathing. He kissed me. Then again. He made a trail up to my ear and when he got there he nibbled on it a little. It made my whole body tingle with anticipation and made my nerves jump.98

"What are the limits?"as he whispered softly his breath blew in my ear.99

I melted. That was it. The rain that was playing a patterned pitter-patter against my window had nothing on me. I felt like a puddle of air. No. A puddle of heat. Hot something. Maybe hot water? Whatever it was it burned in a way I could have never even imagined before, and I liked it.100

'Limits? What limits?'It wasn't a question. It was rhetorical. This man could do whatever he wanted with me as long as he promised to make it feel that good and do it over and over again.101

It came so fast. He told me not to be scared. How could I not be scared? How could I just sit there with some guy, LAY there with some guy who could possibly be a complete stranger and let him use my body as his sex toy? How could he think I would just not have any second thoughts?102

I don't.103

His hand went up the back of the nighty. I felt so bare, but it didn't matter because at that point a charge ran up my spine that made my my muscles tighten. At one point I was thinking that it was amazing how much he could do with me sitting the way I was, and I guess he read my mind again because..104

"Close your eyes and lay down."105

I feel like an animal, but I really don't care because at least I will be an animal that feels damn good.106

I shut my eyes. I laid down. I heard him walk a few steps and pick something up, then I felt him get on the bed. On top of me. He didn't do anything yet. In fact, he had boxers on. I could feel the cool silk on my thighs. It felt so good that I wished they weren't on him at all. After a moment he lifted my head and I felt him softly wrapping a black cloth around my eyes.107

"When you block one of the senses," he whispered in my ear,"the others work better."108

He grabbed hands and put them to his chest. It felt so warm and I could feel his heart beating. Then, I felt something else on my wrists, something cool.109

'Handcuffs.'I mumbled quietly as if no one was listening. I was half asking, half stating a fact.110

"Yea. Is that a problem", I thought for a second and then he lifted the lingerie and kissed me right below my belly button. I stopped thinking.111

'mmnuh.'Not even a real word, but it's what I managed to get out. I guess he understood.112

He didn't tie me to the bed, but he did cuff my hands together above my head. He kept kissing me all over. I felt like I was going to explode. I had no idea how much pleasure could be felt at once. Soon he started using his tongue. He started at my thighs. He licked the inside of them and traced around my bikini line, kissed up my tummy and shoulders to my neck. He kissed my neck and nibbled a bit. At one point I thought he might have pinched too hard, but if he did I really didn't care because when pain mixes with that much pleasure it's drowned out. He licked my neck and kissed up to my lips. He kissed me so deeply I felt like my soul was being devoured by his body.113

It was amazing.114

He started dripping something onto my skin. It felt sticky and hot. Kind of like honey. He would poor a little in a spot and then suck it off. My body was exploding with mixed feelings. He took something cold, I guessed it was ice, and traced it all along my body. My nipples hardened more than they already were. I let out a small gasp for air. He put his finger to my lips and shushed me. I shushed. He made me sit up. Slowly he slipped the silk garment off from over my head. I have never felt so vulnerable. I have never cared less. He un-buckled my bra with a swish of his hands and laid me back down. He kissed me between my swollen breasts and I couldn't help but moan in delight. I didn't mind being his slave if these were the benefits of the job. He massaged my hard nipples with his hands, still cool and wet from the ice. I didn't mind because by now they weren't the only thing that was wet. He licked my chest and kissed his way down to my panties. He used his teeth to take them off slowly. As he did he brushed his hands down my thighs and the mix of pleasure was too much. I moaned again.115

I heard my panties hit the floor as his kissed his way up my legs, and thighs to my wet pussy. I didn't expect it to happen so fast. Already? Couldn't he wait just a second before he..116

I screamed so loud I was sure I would have caused a crowd around my house. His tongue licked the edges of the wet lips slowly. He teased me for a while and then slid in between. I moaned loader as he went deeper and circled his tongue inside me. He knew exactly what to do and when to do it and where and how. I couldn't keep my thoughts straight and I couldn't seem to catch my breath.117

He had fun teasing me with his tongue for a while and then slipped it out slowly. I felt him take off his boxers. He may have slipped out his tongue, but he slipped something else in. I screamed. There wasn't only pleasure this time, but pain. Not a little pain. A lot of pain. It didn't last the entire time, but for a while I felt my temples throbbing. He went in slowly and it made my whole body feel numb. He thrusted his hips and rubbed his body on mine. He sunk in deeper. I moaned his name. My breathing was rapid and sharp, but then again, so was his. He slipped off the blind fold.118

His eyes. I had never seen such sexy eyes. They were dark as an ebony sky and I felt like staring into them forever waiting to see a star twinkle. A lot of them did. I would have fell into hypnosis by his the hungry look they fed to me, if I had not been overcome with a sharp wave of pleasure. He thrusted harder and I screamed again. It hit me as hard as the thunder rolling outside my window. A sharp wave cool and wet spilled into me and he thrusted again. He ejaculated and the quick change in feeling led to a quick climax. The pleasure spread like an explosion inside of me and I felt my every inch tingle and ache. I shouted his name. He whispered mine in my ear and kissed me. He slowly calmed me down as much as he could and slid off of me. I was still overcome with pleasure and in awe at how good it felt. I was sure heaven had to be an exaggeration of a climax. He was red and breathing kind of heavy, but he obviously had more power over himself than I did over myself because he led me into the kitchen. I felt weird walking naked in the kitchen, but I didn't have to worry about that because he picked me up and wrapped my legs around his waste. He swung my still cuffed hands around his neck. If I never walk again I wouldn't mind because those few steps, with his penis brushing against the surface of the lips of my vagina would definately take the trophy for best ever. When we got in the bathroom he put me down and slammed me against the wall in a rough but sentual way and started kissing me with more passion than anyone could ever imagine. He uncuffed my hands. He explored my body with his hands, and this time, I could do the same to him. He pulled away from me and led me over to the shower. I was a bit taken aback at first, but I wanted him more than I had ever wanted anything or anyone in my life, and I went with it. He had me up against the wall in the shower, our hands trailing each others curves. All of a sudden I felt an urge to do all the things to him he had done to me and more.119

I kissed his lips. Then his neck. I nibbled on his ear.120

He could sense the urgency in my motions and he switched positions. He held my hips and I had him up against the wall in the shower. He turned the water on a medium temperature. It made my muscles tighten and it made his skin feel so perfect that it was taking a lot to restrain myself. I kissed him from the top of his body down to his legs and back up, only this time I stopped half way.121

He moaned a little as I licked his penis softly and sucked on the tip. I kissed the inside of his thighs, water still dripping down on us. I was on my knees by now and I teased him with my lips and tongue, the way he had teased me. I'm not sure if I was as good as he was, but he did have more experience, and from the sound of it, he enjoyed what I did do right. I licked the tip again and began massaging trailing his penis with my fingertips. Slowly. Up and down. Gently. I started using my hands. I started softly and went a little rougher, but I made sure to be gentle enough not to cause any pain. I sucked on the end and massaged the rest with my both of my hands. I could feel his body tighten and I sucked. I stopped before he ejaculated and I slid up to meet his neck where I kissed him again. I led him quickly back into my room and pushed him on the bed. I crawled over him, kissing every inch as I brought my hips in line with his. I slid his penis into my pussy as he had done before. This time there was no pain, just a quick, extreme rush of pleasure. We were still wet from the shower and it only added to our fun. I moved my hips in rhythm. Slowly, then fast as I rubbed his body with my hands and stole a kiss from his lips. I had never tasted anything so sweet. I heard him growl in pleasure and I bent down and kissed his chest. I made my way up past his neck to his lips where I slid my tongue in his mouth and massaged it with his gently. I could still hear the rain falling outside and I knew lightning had struck when the room lit up a bright yellow. I'll never forget his face. He has the most beautiful face in the world and the most sultry eyes I could ever imagine. I nibbled on his bottom lips then let go. I wished it could never end, that we could make love to each other forever. I wish it was my birthday everyday, but it's not. I rode him rougher and lightly squeezed my thighs around his adding to the pressure and to his pleasure. He ejaculated and I climaxed for the second time in one night. I am still going with that heaven theory. I slid off back and our bodies no longer connected, I kissed his lips again and laid down beside him with my head on his chest.122

"I told you we would talk again."he said quietly as he brushed his hands through my golden honey colored hair."I never break a promise."123

I looked in his eyes. I know there is no denying what I just did, but I also know that it was with someone I care about. 'I know. I mean, I know now.'I said, still slightly dazed by the whole situation.124

"I also told you it was me."he smiled. He has such a beautiful smile.125

'Yea..'my thoughts drifted away from me, but I caught them 'Why me?'126

"What?"he seemed shocked at the random question127

'Why would you want to be with me?'I asked earnestly128

"I want to be with you, because you are the type of girl who would ask me why I want to be with you,"he kissed me after he said it."So be quiet angel."129

I smiled and blushed. I put my hand around his stomach.130

"So, Happy Birthday."he said, smiling.He was half asking me, and half telling me.131

'No.'I said132

His smile wilted a little and he lifted an eyebrow."Are you kidding?"133

'No.'I said, and I smiled.'I waited a long time to be in your arms, and it wasn't as good as I had expected.'134

His face went kind of blank and he seemed to be searching mine to sense that I was lying, but I wasn't, not really.135

"Oh."he sounded a little disappointed and it broke my heart. He was half asking me and half telling me again.136

'Yea.'I said 'It was a lot better than I expected.'137

He smiled and we laid there until we both fell asleep.138

Later that night, he left and we promised each other to talk the following week.139

Two week's later, It was raining again. I looked out the window and watched the raindrops drip down to my window pane again. I was wondering where he was and trying to console myself with the fact that all we were was a really amazing one night stand. It was too hard to believe that "So are a lot of other people." line, especially after what had happened between us. I started to drift away into my usual daydream.
My doorbell rang..140
