I stared at the clock on the wall. It had a wooden bevel that gave the illusion that it was part of the wall but the clock face and hands were simple, black against a creamy white. The soft ticking was annoying at first as I tried to order my thoughts but eventually I gave in to it and it seemed to grow louder until it filled my mind, pushing out my reason for being here. I unconsciously tapped my finger with the ticking. My breathing slowed to three ticks inhale, three ticks exhale.
Something snapped. He called my name I think. I don't know how much time has passed. I start to apologize but fade mid sentence. He's looking at me expectantly.
"Tell me about the first dream."
I'm woken up when the hand goes over my mouth. My first instinct is to struggle but he shushes me and I recognize him. He's a friend - someone I find too attractive to ever seriously pursue. He's lying not quite on top of me. One leg over the top of one of mine. My gown is up around my hips. He looks into my eyes and doesn't speak but I feel his other hand on my pussy. He cups his hand over me and pulls me against him, turning me so that I become the little spoon. His hand moves so that he can put his arm under my head but I don't make a sound until his hand covers my mouth again.
The fingers between my legs are moving, rubbing softly against the outer lips and not even trying to slip inside. I can feel him growing hard against my ass and I realize that he's completely naked. I can't see him but I can because it's a dream and in a dream you can have two perspectives at once. I am me lying against him, staring across my bed, trying to process the touch of his hand on my mouth and his fingers between my legs but I am also me floating above us, looking down at his pale skin against my blue gown, the freckles on his shoulders and back that I had seen once when the guys were playing basketball at a cookout. I watched as his mouth pressed against my shoulder and both instances of me felt it.
The me in the bed closed her eyes but the floating me watched everything. He rubbed me in rhythm with his grinding hips and eventually I tried to open my legs for him. He stopped moving and pushed my legs back together.
"This isn't for your enjoyment. It's for mine. Stay quiet and don't fucking move."
