It's been almost two weeks since we spoke. I miss his presence. I miss his readings, the way he commands a room through a gentle hand and an eloquent demeanor. I know nothing about him of course -- but he fascinates me. Our last encounter, whilst brief, has left breadcrumbs in my mind for the crows to pick over. I try to picture it -- him taking me, but my mind wonders and climax is an endurance race. I replace his role with the other fawning men in my life in an attempt to loosen his grip on my mind. I would do whatever he asks of me at this point. If he were to send me away, I would go with my tail between my legs. I also so badly desire to distract him -- which is my bratty nature surfacing, but the more I am unable to deter his stoicism the more the wetness between my thighs grows. I push three fingers from my left hand deep into my cunt in frustration. I AM needy. I NEED. I need to be pet, I need attention. I require active participation.
I hear a ding out of the corner of my mind from the kitchen and quickly make my way back to the computer to see if there's any word from my current master of sorts. And -- there is. A wordy, but poetic, apology. I don't want a fucking apology! I want active-fucking-participation. I crave him to throw out the rule book on me, I want him to risk it all -- this effect on men is one of my more mischievous desires -- but if or when they succumb or are too eager, I am over it. I enjoy the agony of NOT being desired by intelligent, sophisticated, self-controlled men -- it is the only time I can truly admire them; it is entirely too sexy, to me, for a self-proclaimed red-blooded man to have enough will and curiosity to be enveloped by special interests in lieu of only basic sexuality.
His email ends with some line that we should speak in person and, "not leave off on this note." But I liked this note. This note rings out. I mulled this specific melody over and over again week after week. I kept its' taste in my mouth and rehashed its' flavors every night before I fell asleep. Another meeting? What would it change? Are we both truly naΓ―ve enough to believe it won't end in physical contact?
I'm back at his office door; I go to knock but as I do the door swings open slowly just before. He hurries me inside and is silent for a long moment before the words begin to bubble up from his throat and spill from his full, mustachioed lips -- he has a long-term partner, he's a feminist (me too), this isn't something he'd normally do, he can't stop thinking about that day, we're not for each other, I need to focus on my own partner, I need to focus on school, he could lose his job -- his reputation, --- he is burdened, he is overwhelmed --- he... wants -- to -- fuck -- me. Just like most men since I turned, what? 14?
My mind is only in one place -- is this it? He is yelling -- well, not yelling, but speaking sternly in a way that reflects more his own agitation with himself than it being directed at me. He finally throws himself back into his desk chair in a huff.
"Sit down." He demands -- but I am suddenly aware that I have inserted myself and my curiosity into the dynamic life of a beautiful stranger -- once again -- and that my own lack of self-control is perhaps my greatest shame.
-- "Should I go? Maybe this was a bad idea." I hear myself utter faintly.
"Sit down," he says it again, firmer this time. I reluctantly do as he bids but suddenly, I become a little girl in front of him. I start to cry, a lump forms in my throat and between breathless gasps I repeat my shame for him to see. I tell him his interests and knowhow excites me. I tell him that the power dynamic invigorates my will -- I shout between pants for air and showers of my own spit and tears. "I'm sorry," -- I blurt out, "I'm the one who should be apologizing. I should be sorry. I cross the line."
"I -- I -- I -- am a needy, deviant, gluttonous.... slut," I practically whisper the last part -- "I don't want to be this -- I don't want to be infatuated with you or every man that knows something that peaks my interests -- I don't want to think like this, I don't want to always turn everything into this, I don't want to be so, so... stunted."
"Come here," he says calmly. I freeze.
"Come here, now," he says it again. No movement from me.
