When
I saw the Wicked Wednesday “Frigid” prompt, this idea came to me. There’s also
a little Masturbation Monday thrown in. It’s a slow build and more romantic
than erotic, but sometimes my writing swings that way. So, you’ve been warned.
Actually, it could be the backstory to my flash fiction story from last week—“That Touch of Arrogance.”

Waiting

Occasionally
guys will hit on me, but I efficiently send them on their way. I generally try
to put out a “not interested” vibe to avoid the whole awkward situation. Many
guys might think I’m frigid—which is ironic.
I
might appear to be cold and aloof, but I’m a raging river of molten desire. I’m
just waiting for the man who ignites my flame like no one I’ve ever known.
I’ve
always been waiting for him—even before I knew he existed.
I
don’t know why he left me the way he did. At first, I was angry and swore I was
done—really done this time. It wasn’t the first he’d disappeared. However much
he enjoyed our contact, I’d gotten the impression that he also regretted it.
Even
so, when he was around, everything was golden. The passionate intensity that
sparked between us was unlike anything I’d ever experienced before. It was
irresistible and all-consuming. We had so much in common—and not just sexually.
If it had been just cheap desire, it wouldn’t have killed me every time he said
goodbye.
Of
course, I never let him know how strongly I felt. I thought if I kept things
casual—if I acted like his comings and goings didn’t bother me—that he’d relax
about spending time with me. I’d hoped that if he knew I didn’t have any
expectations, that he wouldn’t keep running off.
During
his absences, I tried finding the same magic with someone else. It was never
anything but momentary fun and easily forgotten. When he reappeared, I dropped
everything and his pleasure became my priority again.
I
did tell him about the others, hoping it would reinforce my supposedly casual
attitude. I’m sure he believed that I sold my loving like Christmas cards, but
that was far from the truth. He might be surprised how few other guys there
were. Maybe I also hoped he’d get jealous. Sometimes I thought he might be.
After
I told him about another guy, his passion took a more feral tone. Whether it
was true or not, I imagined he cared enough to feel a need to reassert his
claim. I won’t lie, the possessiveness made me incredibly hot. But then, he’d
disappear again and I assumed my flights of fancy got the better of me.
I
know what you’re thinking: “Get off the rollercoaster, girl. Just cut the guy
loose.”
Believe
me, I tried.
When
my life became impossibly messy—not because of him—I did a disappearing act of
my own. I wasn’t trying to punish him or hurt him. I really didn’t think I
mattered enough for him to care all that much. But I was in a bad place and I
didn’t have anything left to give. So I let him go.
Over
the years, I regretted that he might think it was somehow his fault. That I was
rejecting him. But that wasn’t the case at all.
Again,
you’re probably thinking, “How many times did he do the same thing to you?
Screw him!”
Nothing
in my life is ever that simple. Nothing is ever black and white. He had his
reasons and I understood them. I even respected him for them. Yeah, I know how
messed up that sounds. So, even though I hated his leaving, I couldn’t really
be angry at him for it.
Things
gradually got better for me. I still have loads of issues, but I’m working on
them. Thanks to the internet, I was able to check in on him from time to time.
I saw he was still doing what he loved, and seemed to be happy and well.
However,
I didn’t give him more than a cursory look. Like a person on a diet, I tried to
avoid temptation. He was the most decadent kind—a rich and gooey slice of
chocolate cake. Devil’s food, all the way, with mocha frosting and dark
chocolate ganache.
Then
one day, he sent me a message. I don’t know how or when he found me. To be
honest, I may have left a few breadcrumbs, but I never thought he’d actually
track me down. Although I was thrilled to hear from him, I was hesitant. I didn’t
know if he was just being friendly or if he wanted more.
Before
I knew it, we were right back where we were—except it was a little different.
Oh, it was as hot and heavy as ever, maybe even more so. This time, though, I
felt he’d found some sense of peace with our relationship—such that it was.
With
him back in my life, I dove in and looked more closely at past events. Maybe I’d
been willfully blind because I didn’t want to be disappointed.
A
very different picture started forming. One in which I did matter to him and
that he’d missed me—probably more than I knew. That changed a lot of things for
me, but it still wasn’t smooth sailing. He began pulling away again and I didn’t
know why.
I
gave him space, but it only got worse. Was he just busy? Was he tired of me? Had
I stepped too far outside the box he liked to keep me in? I didn’t know. Then,
out of the blue, he completely cut me off—without a word.
Alright,
I know you’re thinking, “You’re better off without him.”
I
really don’t believe that. Despite all the angst and uncertainty, I come alive
when he’s around. I’m my truest self. He lights a fire in me like no one else
can. I miss him with every breath I take.
How
did I go from being angry to having faith that he would come back to me? As
much as I tried to push him from my mind and focus on my own life, I just
couldn’t. The whole thing bothered me—and not because he dumped me again.
It’s
hard to explain, but it all just doesn’t make sense. The way he acted when we
reconnected, all the stuff I came to realize, then the abrupt disconnection.
Other things are different too. Even from afar, I know he’s still around, but not
as much. It feels like he’s keeping a low profile for some reason.
With
every ounce of my being, I know something is going on—something he either
doesn’t want me to know or can’t tell me for some reason. But he’s clearly
keeping me away from it. There have been hints, though, that I shouldn’t give
up on him. Maybe I’m seeing what I want to see, but I’m willing to wait to
finally hear his side of the story. For however long it takes.
Late
at night, I wonder if he can feel me. If he knows how much I miss him and crave
his touch. As bizarre as it sounds, I still feel the connection between us—maybe
stronger than ever. When I run my hands over my body, I imagine they’re his. Or
that he’s watching.
In
my head, I hear him telling me to pinch my nipples harder. As the pleasure ripples
through me, I hope he feels it. I want him to know how he ignites my desire and
makes me so very wet.
I
can almost hear his warm voice urging me to slip my fingers between my drenched
slit. I circle my clit, my breathing getting faster as my arousal builds. Then
I slip my fingers lower, filling my tight cunt and getting them coated in my juices.
I know he’d want me to paint my cream all over my fat nipples, so I do.
Alone
in my bed, I wonder if he’d rather watch my wanton display, or if he’d lick the
cunt juice from my nipples. Maybe he’d lightly bite them, making me writhe and
moan from the pleasure-pain.
Part
of me wants him to watch while he strokes his cock. I miss watching him jerk
off. I can picture it so easily and it gets me even hotter. I love seeing his
strong hand wrapped around his shaft, gripping it firmly as he moves his hand from
the base to the glistening head.
I
can conjure his lust-roughened voice saying, “Stick your finger in your filthy
slut asshole.”
And
I eagerly obey, just for him, pushing my slick middle finger in my forbidden
fuckhole. Because I know it’s what he’d want, I finger-fuck my ass while my
thumb madly works my clit.
Silently,
I beg him to cover my tits in his thick spunk. Imagining him doing just that
sends me careening over the edge. I call out his name as an intense orgasm rips
through me, leaving me shattered—but still empty, because he’s not there. As I
drift off to sleep, I hope he felt me come for him, and that I see him in my
dreams.
So,
I’m waiting for him to return. Waiting forever maybe, but hopefully not.
Because I love him. And I need him. It’s just that simple.

And
so I burn only for him and I wait…

DeleteIf a relationship (fictional or not) ever deserved to be labeled hashtag complicated, this is one of them. Beautifully done (as always).
ReplyDeleteMost definitely complicated. Thanks for reading! So glad you liked it! ;)
DeleteI agree with Kayla's hashtag. I definitely want to know more about why and where he goes...and hey that makes her understand his absences.
ReplyDeleteI kind of like the vagueness here, but I'm glad it piqued your curiosity! Thanks for reading and commenting! ;)
