She wasn't sure what it was - a sound, a smell, a sensation that started it, but something burrowed through the levels that cocooned her mind and body in the deepest sleep she had ever had. Fragments of dreams began to register - shadows moving around her... shuddering as warm fingers trailed over her arms, her legs... constantly moving, just barely skimming her skin.
The dreams themselves weren't all that strange. She had found she experienced more dreams than most of her friends. Hell, they had even taken to 'ordering' a story or two the night before, and she'd regale them over drinks with the fantastical musings of her unconscious mind afterwards. This seemed different... so much more real. Things weren't adjusting in response to her attempts to 'change the channel' so to speak. The fingers kept moving until goosebumps formed.
The skimming fingers moved constantly - never rushed - a pressure akin to butterfly kisses from her niece. Moving constantly, never ceasing... a maddening measured pace that never touched anything untoward, but possessive nonetheless. Then came a breath in her ear. Nothing said - just a slow, deep breath that caused her nipples to harden.
She shifted her head, leaning toward the warm air, lips parting slightly. This was most definitely one of the more delicious dreams she had ever had. A soft chuckle to her right caused her nose to wrinkle as her mind began to process the unexpected sound. Sighing heavily, wanting to slip back into the dream, she tried to turn over and was surprised when she was unable to move.
A little squeak slipped from her lips as her head moved back-and-forth as she urged herself to wake up. Her eyelids fluttered once, twice, three times before she was finally able to crack them open. Not that it did her any good as the darkened room revealed nothing. She tried to blink the cobwebs from her brain, but it still seemed to take forever for her to process the fact that she had fallen asleep in a chair which would explain why she had such a crick in her neck. What she couldn't explain was why she was sitting in the chair in what felt like her bra and panties in the first place.
She took a few deep breaths before finally realizing that something was keeping her from being able to move. Another breath - this one slightly panicked - once she realized it was rope. Her eyes open trying to pierce the wall of darkness, she became convinced that there was someone or something close to her. Every nerve in her body clamored in alarm. Her body screamed with the old flight or fight inclination - only she was unable to do either...
Thanks, StF! Hoping to figure out a way to continue it at some point.
I really, really, really need to figure out how Veroe, Asa and others find all of those yummy pics so I can put faces to the characters in my head.
*pouts*
*sigh* Am taking a minute to vent if only to my doodle book.
For starters, I just might beat my hubby tonight (and no... Not that kind of beat). He's been gone on a business trip for the last two weeks, and the kids have been super excited to have him home.
He and our daughter had been reading together in her room, when she requested a special blanket that we keep stored in our walk-in closet. Apparently he didn't realize that in her excitement of having Daddy home that she might follow him.
She was right behind him when he pulled the blanket down, which also caused Mr Jingles ( the damn elf on a shelf thingee) to come tumbling down as well. I heard her screech and then subsequent crying all the way downstairs.
See... She had believed in it all... Mr. Jingles, Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy... Even the Sandman (mostly due to the Rise of the Guardians movie from a couple of years ago).
*rubbing my forehead* I had planned on having the talk with her this summer... When I had time to prepare what we'd say... Make it as gentle for her as possible... But nooooooooooooo, we had to do an emergency discussion where I was fighting both my smile (cuz she was so funny in her thought process as she slowly put two and two together) and my tears (because unfortunately she was devastated with the discoveries).
I got her calmed down, but it took a lot of fancy talking. Hopefully the thought that she can now 'help' be those things to her brother, cousins, etc will help, but it was heartbreaking.
