Description It was dark.  I remember that.  

Have you ever stood in the dark, wearing nothing but your underwear?  Feeling like a piece of pray, because you know someone else is in the room, watching your every move, because you can hear them breathing in the deep recess of the corner.  

I was 19, and I was standing in the dark in black silk and lace, face painted; a mask against my unknown audience. My heart was beating in my throat, and there was buzzing.  My hands were shaking and the damn Minuet in G wouldn’t get out of my head.  

No one told me it would be like this.  

Minutes passed, the longest moments of my life, as I waited for him to make a move.  I was just a rag-doll, in this scenario.  Someone to do whatever he wished, whatever he wanted me to.  Lie still, strip slow, bite me harder, fuck me faster.  Lord only knows there isn’t much I haven’t heard.

But I remember, standing there with my nineteen-year-old nerves and small town girl fright, how he touched me for the first time.  His skin was rough, but his touch was soft.  Pulling me to his body, he let his worker’s fingers run over the silk at my shoulder; tour the light dip of my waist.  His breath was a hot breeze against my neck: calming, constant.

I felt better, then.

Soon his hands were everywhere, and I was turned in his arms like a prize to be adored.  The straps were slipped down, the laces undone.  I was de-robed, but not yet unveiled.  His hands, his mouth was on me.  This wasn’t new, but it was so strange.  

Then there was a pause.  He stopped, looked up, as if remembering himself.  And in an action never again repeated in all my years, he cupped my chin, leaned in, and kissed me on the mouth.  After, he took my hands, and held them to his chest.  I started to undo the buttons, but he held them still.  

At first I did not hear the words, for his eyes were to the ceiling I was shielded at his chest.  Only with the dipping of his chin, and the end of his pleading did I truly understand.  Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.  

So with a kiss to the forehead and tears in his eyes, he led me to bed, and I became just another lost soul.  In tangled sheets, in sweat drenched dreams while I choked back cries to God and anyone else who was listening, I thought just one thing.

No one told me it would be like this.

I'm working on something and stop for some kind of diversion. I check your gallery and come upon this. And am I glad I did.

It seems straightforward at first, but it starts getting complicated...as how all simple things can get. And in that I think you captured something that I (and a lot of people) can connect with. Maybe it's just "Catholic guilt" but it's so hard to comprehend how something that's seemingly an act of love and caring, can be spiritually taboo, or maybe even an offense to a Higher Being.

Nonetheless, I love this and think it's just a perfect example of what it is to be human.

Thankyou so so so so much. Your comment is absolutly fantastic and I'm *so* pleased you like this. The fave was just *wow*.
I'm glad this meant so much to you - it meant alot to me as well. And yes, I think it does explore in a lot of ways the idea of humanity and spirituality. Thankyou for taking the time to look deep enough to find that.
I really am so so thankful.

It was for my best friend. She asked me to write something for her. She's such a fabulous actress, I wanted something that would live up to her talent. She deserved it to be good, so I worked really hard. I kind of put it up here just to see it people would like it.
If she ever performs it she's going to blow the roof off the theatre.

I didn't thankyou for your comments - I should have. You always make my posting something worthwhile.
As one of my fans (lol!), one of my friends, is there anything you'd like me to write about next? I'm having problems with ideas - help would be fabulous.
Take care ok?
