I've never believed in ghosts or the supernatural; things that went bump in the night were usually humans, or perhaps random animals. I always felt supernatural concepts were simply a way of explaining what people didn't understand before science had more plausible explanations.
But there's no other explanation for what happened to me.
It all started last October. I live Glenwood Springs in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, where it can snow any time of year. Snow in July or August? It's not every summer, but no one is shocked if and when it happens. The shift from summer to autumn can be abrupt, and the change from autumn to winter can be shocking. Sometimes autumn is only a suggestion, a brief two or three week interlude with vivid colors as the aspen stands barely turn yellow and red before they're covered in frost and snow.
Last year the weather got cold and shifted to a winter pattern almost overnight. Peak color ended, and within days the first hard freeze hit. My building managers closed the roof balcony for the year and prepared for the first snow. The balcony tended to get icy, and they didn't want lawsuits if some idiot Airbnb guest fell three stories to their deaths. About half of the condos in the building are rented out to tourists, not surprising when you're less than an hour from Vale and Aspen, land of winter skiing and summer sightseeing, hiking, and rock climbing.
Glenwood Springs was located at the fork where tourists flocked to Aspen and Vail. It was popular with celebrities because they were close enough to head up to the exclusive ski resorts and clubs, but far enough to avoid the crush of paparazzi and autograph or selfie seekers. The more affordable city was also popular with resort workers, who took the regular commuter buses to their jobs.
I loved spending time on that patio. Fresh air, no annoying tourists because they were usually clueless about the rooftop sanctuary, and I could watch the incredible mountain sunsets from the patio just above my own condo.
Okay, so it's my parents' condo.
I was on a gap year between my sophomore and junior year in college. My university required me to declare a major before registering for junior year classes, but I still had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I decided to take a year off. My parents indulged me this much. My grades are good; I made the Dean's List. I don't cause trouble. This is the first time I've asked for a break from family expectations, so they gave me use of the condo for exactly one school year.
Anyway, it all started at the start of the second week of October, when we had that first severe cold snap. It was right after a rain, so everything turned to sheet ice. Everywhere. A "closed" sign was put on the door, but the lock was broken, easily opened with a hard jiggle. I was sad to see it closed, but I also had no interest in slipping on the ice and ending up in the emergency room.
I never associated anything with that event until much, much later.
However, the night they closed the rooftop patio was the first night I felt it. Something touched my cheek, the gentle caress of a large, warm hand, and I could have sworn I felt hands at my bare breasts, a gentle tugging at my nipples. Mostly asleep, I arched into it, and a mouth latched onto my right nipple.
I woke with a start - and an orgasm - and peered around my bedroom. The light of the full moon shining in the window showed there was no one in my room. I was absolutely alone.
I was panting as if I just had the best sex of my life - not that I was all that experienced. I had one or two fumbling experiences as a freshman in college, but nothing good of that made me seek out more. I decided it wasn't worth the effort.
"Holy shit, what a dream!" I gasped. If only real men could make me feel like that. I guess my subconscious made up something better for me. Dream men didn't have STDs or freak out if you didn't put out after an expensive dinner date. Hell, if I wanted to make sex an exchange deal, I'd charge actual money, not a fancy dinner. Too many men thought paying for a nice meal meant sex came with the deal.
I settled back to sleep and fell into a deep dream state where I met the man of my dreams. It was all very vague, or maybe I just didn't remember much. He was tall, dark and handsome. Not just dark. He was Black. It was all just an impression, though. No matter how much I tried to see him better, he remained vague, an imposing figure that made me yearn for his touch.
The next morning I chuckled to myself, remembering the dream and the orgasm. The vague impression I got was that Dream Man was my "type" -- tall, not skinny but not fat, not overly muscular like a body builder, but a guy who worked out and had decent definition.
I never considered myself as having a Black cock kink though I knew a couple of girls in school who did, which is why I even knew it was a thing. To me, hot was hot, and skin color was immaterial. I knew what I liked, even if I was good with watching hot from a distance.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with eye candy. Since my last bland sex experience I implemented a personal policy of "look but don't touch." Touching inevitably resulted in disappointment when the visually hot product didn't live up to its packaging.
Yes, I'm a trust fund baby, but not Paris Hilton level. Thanks to both sets of grandparents and their success in business, I was set up well enough so if I wanted to go full hermit and write poetry all my life in some cute, cozy cabin in the woods, I would never have to worry about paying my basic bills. It wouldn't be a mansion-type cabin, but I wouldn't be miserable.
I took a job to alleviate the boredom that set in about a month into my gap year. I spent late mornings working as a barista at a trendy little cafe that attracted a lot of celebrities. Mostly I went for, you guessed it, the eye candy. I was good at not fan-girling over the celebrities who stepped into the shop, which was why my best friend's cousin hired me.
However, I got the best gossip, first-hand, just by watching which celebs shared tables, or arrived together, and the tone of their body language. Like when Zac Efron walked in holding hands with a woman I didn't recognize. I mean, wasn't Zac Efron supposed to be single? Hmmm.
The celebrities used the cafe to get away from prying eyes and paparazzi cameras. It was set up with lots of little nooks where one or two people could be out of the direct view of most of the cafe, all very charming with old teapots and teacups displayed on the walls. That, and my boss had a "no harassment of customers" policy she enforced with an air horn in offenders' ears.
In any given 3-hour shift I saw four or five recognizable celebrities. It was the height of fall colors season and the celebrities were thick on the ground. I was pretty sure there were even one or two staying in my building.
But that part wasn't really important to my story. Celebrity-watching was just a hobby.
What was important was that when I got back to the condo, I discovered my entire six-month box of birth control pills had fallen from the mirrored medicine cabinet over the toilet and into the toilet bowl, where the box opened, spilling the packets into the toilet water.
"Eww," I said with a shudder, and fished them out with the toilet bowl brush and dumped them into the trash can.
I scowled. I was sure I'd left the cabinet closed, and it didn't open easily. The magnetic closure was strong enough I had to give it a decent yank to get to my stuff inside. I was also sure I left the toilet seat down.
I could get more with a quick trip to a pharmacy, but I decided not to bother. I started at sixteen on the continuous use pill, which meant I hadn't had to deal with periods in four years. I'd been celibate since the semester ended in May, so I would just have to deal with periods again until I found a reason to need protection. My body could probably use a natural reset.
