The Lover's Children

Chapter 121 – Autumn’s Fury – Part 13

GEORGIE

I'm not sure when I close my eyes, but I feel him. I taste him. The scent of his skin and some lotion he's

wearing, drift with the air I'm breathing in.

Such delicate skin, the lips. So sensitive. The merest touch is enough, the sensation fluttering through

me, shivering over my neck and breasts, sending goosebumps spiking up my spine and scalp.

Involuntarily, I shiver.

He pulls back. “Georgie?”

Opening my eyes, I meet his. It's fine. No, it's good. It's just very… intense. Such a small thing, a kiss.

The sensation is all out of proportion to what we're doing.

His lips pucker and his gaze goes distant. Then, “You have given me a gift today. Will you allow me to

give you one?”

“A gift?”

“Lie back. Let me pleasure you.”

“You… don't want me to do anything?”

“You could undress, so I can touch you properly, but… um… leave the stockings.” Borje wrinkles his

nose. The grin is wicked. Infectious too.

Grinning back, I unclip the bra, slip off my panties, then lie back.

His grin fades, but his eyes are like great, eclipsed moons, mere rings of silver around the dark heart.

Taking my hand, raising it over my head, he presses it to a bar of the bedhead, curling the fingers

around.

“Borje?”

"Shhhh…." he whispers. "Humour me." He wraps my other hand around a bar, again curling the fingers

tight around. "Hold the bars. Relax…" He grazes over my length, long slow strokes of his palm. "Close

your eyes.”

“My eyes?”

“Yes, close them. You have dressed for my pleasure. Now let me work for yours. Concentrate on what

you feel. And what you hear and smell. Give yourself to the pleasure. To me.”

“I don't understand.”

“I know you don't. But try it. You've already taken a step today. Take another.”

“I'll… try.”

“That's all I'm asking.”

Gripping the bar, I close my eyes…

Relax…

Warm air drifts over a breast. Something touches the nipple.

Flicks…

Flicks again…

The barest of contacts. The most fleeting of touches…

But it sparkles through me, igniting me inside…

And I know that the nipple is nubbing. The skin crinkling...

Arching, I hiss air through my teeth…

But…

But…

Eyes flinging wide, I burst into giggles…

Borje sits up, propping himself on an arm, face perplexed. “What's funny?”

“I'm sorry. I can't keep my eyes closed. Until you asked me to do it, it seemed natural. But now I just

want to look up at that cobweb in the corner.”

“Cobweb?” He whips round, looking up. “Hmmm. I'll deal with that later. I'll deal with you now.” Shaking

his head, “You know how to flatter a man.”

Panic flutters in my stomach…

Don’t fuck it up…

“Why don't you want me to see?”

His face softens. “Because if you're not using your eyes, it will intensify your other senses. Georgie, will

you let me blindfold you?”

My throat tightens. “Blindfold me?”

Hmmm…

“You… own a blindfold?”

Borje hesitates. The smallest of hesitations, then, “I'll improvise.”

He rises, opens the wardrobe door and slips a tie from a rack. Sitting beside me again, he holds it

between his hands. “Will you allow me to do this?”

The word whispers from my throat. “Alright.”

He pauses, frowning. “Why so nervous, Georgie? You think I would hurt you?”

“No, it's just… Just…” But I don’t know the reason.

“Give yourself. Here. Now. Surrender the control. Just for a while. You can put your hands on the reins

when you're back at work. But right now, just give yourself to me.”

My heart accelerates. I nod.

Borje brushes his lips to mine. “You'll enjoy this. I promise.”

He slips the tie over my eyes, looping it around to the back. “Not too tight?”

“No. It’s fine.”

“Good. Now lie back again.” His hands guide mine back to the bars. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

I'm not truly blind. Light filters through the silk, a greenish haze.

There’s… noise. Movement. Perhaps a drawer opening and closing.

Something drifts past my nose. Something unfamiliar. “What's that?”

“You tell me.”

“Some sort of perfume?”

“A scented candle. Tea tree and cedarwood.”

Something slides over my skin.

The merest glimmer of sensation… But intense… Piercing… Somehow more… more… real.

The sensation skitters and dances on my skin.

Here… then gone.

There… then gone. Only to return somewhere else.

And the touch, slight as it is, like the pebble that starts the avalanche, sets me thrumming inside.

“Borje, what is that?”

“A feather. Like it?”

“Yes, it's… I don’t know. Like you said, the blindfold…”

The feather weaves over my breasts, twinkles magic over a nipple, then skitters down my body.

“Perhaps,” says Borje, “you've read those accounts of people who, finding themselves blind through

accident or illness, operate through other senses. There are even documented cases of people finding

their way around a room with a very basic kind of sonar.”

“Like bats?”

“Just so.”

My giggle breaks free again.

The feather pauses. “And the joke is…?”

“I'm being seduced by my lover with a discussion on bats.”

The mattress vibrates, perhaps Borje laughing. “I always enjoy the company of a woman with intelligent

conversation. But right now, shhh… empty your mind. Don’t speak. Concentrate on what you're

feeling.”

Heat kisses my breast. Warm breath. Hot, wet flesh mouthing a nipple.

“Ahhhh...” Reflexively, I unclasp my fingers, reaching for him.

Fingers grasp mine. “Ah-ah… Hold on. Don't try to touch. Just accept.”

“It was a reflex.”

“I know. I'd tie your hands, but I don't think you're ready for that.”

The memory surges from the hidden place I keep it…

“Oh, God… No… Please… You want money? My father… He’s rich. He’ll pay…”

“Shut the fuck up…”

“Keep her quiet. You want the whole world to hear while you have your fun? Use the fucking tape.”

NO!

And heart hammering, I drive it back down into the dark…

“No… No, I’m not ready. Not for that.”

Lips press to mine. The voice is very close, a hushed word by my cheek. “I will never hurt you,

Georgie.”

“I... know that.”

The kiss again. “Ready for more?” A hand rests on my belly, fingers lying light over my pubic hair,

“I think so, yes.”

“Open your legs a little.”

The fingers trace a spiral between navel and thigh, then shimmer over the fine skin of my loins.

A rising line of goosebumps prickles its way up my skin, skipping through my muscles. Racing up and

through my belly and core, it jolts me inside.

I buck and strain. “Oh, God. Borje…” And I'm arching, my hips lifting as I rise on the soles of my feet.

“Shhhh… Georgie, you have no idea how beautiful you look like that…”

“God… Borje… please…”

“Not yet, Georgie. I'm ready for you. Soon, I will enter you. Love your body with mine.”

The finger strokes inside my thighs then coils into my pubic hair, winding and plucking...

“Borje…” I'm rippling and liquid. Melting.

… It slides into the crease of my thigh, sliding by my sex…

My pussy snatches, reaching for something that's not there. I'm hot, streaming sweat. I taste salt.

… strokes over my pussy lips, so slowly, drawing out the movement. First one side then the other.

Slipping inward, the finger slides between my lips… I think…

I'm not sure…

I'm trembling violently. I can't hold still. My pelvis quakes.

… draws a circle around my pussy. Then another…

I'm pulsing inside. A rising throb… A rising heat… I'm dissolving… Lost in myself…

The blood pounds inside my head. My throat rasps as the air pants in and out in a staccato beat.

The finger brushes upward, grazes my clit…

And I explode from within, orgasm shattering through me.

A tug at the blindfold. Abruptly I can see. Borje scrambles atop me, between my thighs, his shaft

pressing to me. Then smoothly, in a single stroke, he fills me…

And I explode again.

Oh. My. God.

*****

We lie together, entwined, adrift in a post-orgasmic haze.

At length he says, “How’s the cobweb?”

“Couldn’t give a fuck.”

He cracks out laughing, looking indecently pleased with himself.

“You look as though you should be washing cream from your whiskers.”

He rolls over, joy in his eyes and smacks a kiss onto my forehead. “Georgie, I want to say thank you.

For doing that for me. You have given me a lot of pleasure. But it’s not just that. You've made me very

proud.”

“Proud?” Startled, I sit up, pulling the sheet around myself, incidentally uncovering my Silver Lover.

“Yes. Proud.” He sits up too, tugs back some sheet for himself. “There is so much to you, Georgie.

You're beautiful. Smart. And now, finally, you're breaking out of the cage inside your head. I'm proud of

you for doing it and, I'll admit…” His grin is self-deprecating… “… I’m a little proud of myself for helping

you with it.”

KLEMPNER

A knock at the door. Nurse Starched-Hat. “Another visitor for you, Mr Waterman.”

Christ…

Lorelei and her cohorts have already set up camp in my room. I’ve lost track of who they are, but two

perch on the bed, one is setting up a coffee machine…

“No point having to keep walking all the way down that corridor…”

… and another pair are discussing the finer details of giving a come-on to a potential john…

All heads turn to the door.

Lydia, carrying a large round tin. “Hello, Mr Waterman. I hope you’re feeling better.”

Oh, God…

Still, at least I’m surrounded by chaperones, unlikely as they might seem for the role.

She looks around at the assembled cast of the sit-com which passes for my life. “Who are all these

ladies?”

Lorelei flickers a smile, quickly extinguished. “We’re just friends of Larry’s here.” She nods down.

“What's in the tin, kid?”

Lydia swallows. “I brought Mr Waterman a cake.”

“Cake?” Lorelei blinks. “You've brought cake for Larry?”

Lydia’s chin lifts. “He likes my cake. Mrs Colby said he really liked the last one I made him. That was a

Thank-You cake. This is a Get-Well cake.” She flips off the lid, thrusting it at me. “It's chocolate, with

lemon drizzle. And sprinkles.”

I don't have the energy. “Thank you, Lydia.”

Lorelei leans over the tin, sniffing in an unsubtle bid. “Smells good.”

Making a vague gesture, “Be my guest. I can't eat all of it.”
