I walk my familiar path listening to the wind as it rustles through the trees making haunting music with the leaves. I walk this dirt road all the time when I just wish to be alone with my thoughts. I hear an owl call out in the night and something rustles in the brush close to me. I am startled and stop dead, no pun intended I assure you.
I see him before me. He walks into the moonlight and I gasp. It is Matthew, Lachandra's mortal follower. I see him smile at me and I back away.
"What do you want?" I say suspiciously.
"I have only come to join you this eve on your walk. Is that so harmful? If so, then I shall leave." he turns to walk the other way when I stop him.
"No! Please..I did not mean to be rude. It is alright if you wish to walk with me, but I cannot guarantee I'll be much company."
He turns back around to face me and smiles cheerily.
We walk in silence for some time then I decide to go back to my flat. I get to the door and look at him, who shows no sign of leaving.
"Just where do you think you are going?" I say, a bit annoyed.
"I thought I might come up and look around your flat for a bit. I'm just curious as to what it looks like."
I can tell he's not altogether being truthful, but I allow him to come up with me anyhow. There is something telling me that this night is not going to be dull.
Upon entering I throw the keys on the kitchen countertop and remove my coat, throwing it on the couch.
"Well, this is my flat." I turn to talk to him and see his reaction, but he is not there. This puzzles me for a moment until I see light coming from my bedroom and I go to investigate.
I walk into my room and I see all the candles lit up and creating a warm glow about the entire room. I am staring in wonder when I sense a presence behind me. I turn and Matthew is standing before me, half-naked. He advances and I back up until my legs touch the bed.
He has me in his embrace before I can protest and lays me down on my back. He disrobes me of my shirt and his heated kisses sear my neck making me cry out in intixicating desire. This is a feeling I have not felt in a long time. He unzips my jeans seductively with his teeth then pulls them off, throwing them to the floor in disregard. His huge hands survey every warm soft contour of my body without hesitation. My body reacts to his touch and I pull him closer, wishing to feel the warmth of his passion and desire. He slips his hand under my panties and begins gently massaging my warm wetness. I cry out again in satisfaction as he massages into me and kisses me deeply, slipping his tongue into my mouth. Then, he gently slides himself inside me and I moan in absolute pleasure. Our bodies move together in the rhythm of our love, passion, desire, and yearning. I taste, feel, and touch every sensuous delight that he offers to me like a delicious wine.
Our passion consumated he lays next to me for a moment. Neither of us say anything. Then he gets up and begins redressing. I pull my clothes back on and I see that he is going to leave.
"Where are you going?" I ask, a bit saddened that after this affair he should leave me alone.
He turns to me, puts his hands firmly upon my shoulders and looks me deep in the eyes and suddenly I feel like a lost child pleading for their loved one not to leave them again.
"Ariella, I knew what a beautiful woman you were the moment I first laid eyes upon you the other night. I knew that you would be the passionate lover that you have been this eve with me. And I knew you would not wish me to leave you either. But I must or else face the wrath of Lachandra. If she ever found out about this whole thing she would not go easy on you or myself. I don't want to see anything happen to you because of my own stupid choices. Listen, I do not think, for one moment that I should never have done this because I found you. In you I see a woman I could love forever and because of that love I must leave you now or force you to pay for my own decisions. I love you, Ariella. But know, that you and I can never be."
He leaves quickly, running down the stairs to the streets outside. I sit back down on the bed in a daze. I am unable to comprehend all that has just taken place. Soon it eventually sinks in and the realization of my own foolishness hits me. I lay down and cry, the blood tears staining the pillow.
"Enough of this!" I say aloud, picking myself up off the bed. I grab my keys, jump into the car, and drive away into the night.
