Cassie stared at the keyboard. Her throat tightened, her anxiety rose. She leaned over the table with her fingertips rubbing her temple on the side of her face. She knew she had to do it. Cassie clicked the mouse, opening up the internet waiting for her home page to load. Cassie’s heart sank, dread filled her because what she was afraid of was there, or more like not there at all; an empty inbox on the social network site she belonged to.
Fuck, she thought.
It had been sixteen days since she heard from him. A million thoughts were running through her head. Where was he? What the hell was going on? They either emailed or instant messaged everyday for four months, and all of a sudden he just “poof” disappeared. It wasn’t like him.
Maybe he was scared of the emotions that were happening? They were getting closer each time they talked. A strong bond forming, maybe he just couldn’t deal. Was he already tired of her and moving on with another woman? A family emergency perhaps? Or did he have a fishing accident?
She knew the swells could get rough where he lived, but he was experienced and always took every safety precaution on his boat. Cass felt ridiculous that she was tempted to start checking the obits just to make sure his name wasn’t listed. Since their relationship was purely online, if anything did happen to him, its not like anyone would know to contact her. It was so hard not being in the loop of what was happening. Of course, him living 3000 miles away was also of little assurance in her mind. She couldn’t just drive to his place, rap on the door, and check that he is physically okay with all his body parts in place and in fine working order. The fear of not understanding what happened, or if it was something she did to drive him away, like all men before him, was consuming her waking moments and permeating her dreams.
For the first time in her life, with this man she never met in person, she felt loved, appreciated, and wanted, not just sexually, but wanted entirely; the whole package; the good and the very dark, difficult parts of her personality.
Most of her life, men told her about their relationships and sought her out for advice or to vent to her and bend her ear. She wasn’t looked at as a woman with passionate needs or one to fall in love with. Men in her life either liked her as a confidant or worse a casual fuck but in either case they always fell for others. Cass got used to it and was always happy for her friends even though deep inside she longed to be thought of and looked that way in a man's eye. Cassie was relatively pretty, not movie star or anything spectacular, but could hold her own; at least she thought so. She knew she was emotionally damaged and so men just thought of her as a cool friend and didn’t bother to dig past the sarcasm and humor. Except Him.
So she slowly tried to trust for the first time and He breached her defense walls brick by brick, breaking her down, stripping her emotionally and now he disappeared like all the others. She should’ve known this would happen. Damn herself for not holding the emotional fort in place. Men and abandonment seemed to go hand-in-hand in her life. Cass was always smart enough and detached enough from men to be able to pull back when it seemed too close so something like this very situation would never happen to her again. She was always in the school of thought, better to be alone then hurt. She had enough hurt to last two lifetimes.
Well fuck this, she thought. She might as well go get her daily fix from the near-by coffee place she always grabbed her mocha. Caffeine will help and calm her down some. Cass grabbed her laptop and jumped in her Beemer for the short drive to the quaint neighborhood café.
Cass walked in and eyed the table to set up her laptop. She ordered her large mocha from a young, perky woman. Her chipper attitude almost grated on Cass like nails on a chalkboard but most things irritated her easily before caffeine was running in her veins. The aroma of the espresso, chocolate and steamed milk in her large cup was already lifting her spirits somewhat.
She sat in the chair at the empty table. There weren’t too many customers in the place. She plugged her laptop into the outlet and booted it up. She took a sip and opened up the chat window. A couple offline messages appeared from friends, but not from Him. Cass responded to the messages and opened up a new conversation with her friend Jeannie. Talking to Jeannie help keep the thoughts from drifting to Him. They chatted about the typical day goings-ons. A few more friends noticing she was online, popped in to say hi and catch her up on their lives real quick. Cassie always took interest in all her online friends and laughed hard when Myra was telling her about the slumber party she hosted for her daughter and all the antics that happened. They were wonderful people she talked to and was grateful to all of them and always appreciated their company and laughter shared.
Then it happened. He popped in. She sucked in a breath, couldn’t even feel her own pulse. Cassie was sure she stopped breathing for a moment.
Two words, Hi Sexy
typed in the chat window.
Cassie stared at it. Relief he contacted her and anger that he was gone without any word or sign that he was fine, raged within her. She wasn’t sure what to say in response. Finally, she figured she’d lay into him with full barrels.
Where the fuck have you been? I’ve been worried sick
Cass typed.
She was gearing up for some lame and totally transparent excuse or a wicked fight which right now sounded pretty good.
Right here Cass, I told you I wouldn’t leave you. I haven’t
Don’t turn around
For a moment total confusion blanketed her. What? No way could he be here! She thought.
Every fiber of her being wanted to do exactly that, turn around; she didn’t. She obeyed and sat still like a statue completely in shock. Her cunt gushed wet and her nipples were so tight and hard that they could’ve cut glass.
Cass felt like a deer in the forest during hunting season. Every sound and movement was amplified. She heard the footsteps behind her coming closer. Cass was sure her heart was pounding outside her chest and anyone within a foot of her would hear it beating so fast and erratic like a child playing a drum set.
His hand rested and gripped her shoulder but she still didn’t dare to turn to see him. She wasn’t sure she could look in his eyes just yet. She had to regain her resolve and keep in control. A single tear formed but no way in hell was she going to break and become a soppy, weak woman in front of him. She knew what she needed from Him and He knew what he needed to give her but damn’d if she’d tell him.
He leaned over, kissed her neck, and whispered in her ear, “I see your hard nipples through your tank top”.
Cassie’s face felt hot. She knew she was beet red. Goosebumps broke out all over her arms making her fine baby hair stand up. His one hand firmly pressed down on her shoulder while the other skimmed her breasts feeling her erect peaks that stood out like tiny mountains. His fingers stroked and flicked them seductively through her top with a few twists and pulls on her nipples as she was planted in the chair. Cassie was oblivious to anyone else in the café. She didn’t care if every patron in the place was watching him playing with her nipples in public. Her lust was beyond rising, more like a nuclear bomb, burning her core so hot that she almost incinerated right there from the inside out.
Please take my breasts out. Fondle, suck, and bite them, Cassie begged in her mind.
Her pussy was so wet her thong panties were soaked. Her clit contracting hard and she pushed her knees together to keep from having an orgasm right there in public.
“Shut down your laptop” he softly ordered in her ear.
With his fingers pinching her nipples through her tank, she couldn’t even think straight. Her hand shook on the mouse as she closed the windows and shut it down. He released her a moment to grab the laptop and put in his carry bag. Without another word spoken, he grabbed her elbow to pull her out of the chair and go with him.
Shit, he could lead her off a bridge right now and she’d follow. Cassie thought.
He led her to the back of the building and slammed her back against the dirty, stucco wall, pressing his body flat into her with his hard cock straining through his jeans. His one palm laid flat against the wall supporting his weight, while his other clutched her throat with his thumb right on her jugular making her wide-eyed and so wet, for a quick moment, she was embarrassed by how soaked she was. Cassie was so wet, so ready for him to take her; all of her. He leaned in; his knee pushed her legs apart and roughly wedged right between them, putting pressure on her cunt. He kissed her hard.
Cassie was on fire, flames engulfing her. She kissed him back as if it was the last kiss she’d ever get in life. Slight moans escaped and the sounds were absorbed by each other as they didn’t break contact. Each was hungry for the other as their tongues met in perfect sync with deep, long kisses that melted her insides. Their tongues danced and probed each other’s mouths and she knew she’d never get enough of him. She wanted to taste Him right here, right now. They finally broke for air for a moment and locked eyes.
He knew what she needed.
Pinned against the wall, he yanked her tank top down to rest under her tits and pulled them out from her bra exposing her full breasts to Him. Cassie’s back slightly arched and the brisk air hit her nakedness, but she didn’t feel the cold, only the explosive heat the two of them generated now that they were finally together.
