When his hand reached round and gripped my jaw, I leaned back into him, wanting him to take control of my body. I pushed back against him, smacking my buttocks off his rigid stomach in an attempt to push him inside just an inch further to last a moment longer.
With one final thrust, he shook violently and fell onto my back as I tumbled to my knees, red raw and burning. He was forming inaudible words through his labored breath, struggling to speak as he regained his balance and pushed himself to his feet.
Feeling satisfied, though at the same time undignified, I hurried to button up my jeans before the imagined watchers in the forest saw me for a second longer. I glanced into the trees with a growing sense of paranoia but there was nothing and nobody.
Slight movement out the corner of my eye made me panic, but when I looked over, it was just a rabbit hopping through the grass. Up high, the woodpecker continued to drill its way through a redwood.
"I'm sorry," he gasped as he held my hands and pulled me up to him.
He kissed me tenderly before closing his arms around me, his breath hot and moist in my ear.
"What are you sorry for?" I asked, concerned there was something terrible he had to confess.
"That wasn't very romantic," he replied, his arms tightening around me.
Romance... it seemed like a hollow word now. There were relationships and orgasmic experiences but romance... what was that? Rose petal covered silk sheets and heart shaped chocolates?
"You respect me," I said. "And that's romantic to me."
He smiled and looked into my eyes.
"Are you even real?" he asked.
Perplexed, I frowned and involuntarily wiggled the end of my nose, a habit of mine that displayed itself during moments of great confusion.
"You're just so lovely," he said as he clapped his hands to my cheeks and kissed my forehead. "But I mean it. I want a special night with you so I can... take my time."
There was a peculiar intonation to his voice. It made him sound like he wanted to devour me piece by piece, savoring each morsel of my body. Then it dawned on me that Hannibal Lecter was also a doctor and the frown returned.
"What's the matter?" he asked as he crossed his arms behind his head and lay back on the rock.
"Nothing."
"You don't think I'm serious, do you?"
He sat back up and looked up to the sky as though searching for a sign before reaching for my hand.
"I bet you think all guys are jerks now."
"Just the ones with a penis," I replied but I didn't really mean it.
He pursed his lips to stifle a laugh and ran his hand through my hair.
"I will give you a special night," he said. "Away from that house you're in. It's about time you came over to mine anyway."
"Like... an official date?" I asked, my heart quickening at the thought.
He'd been so kind to me, so dazzling and impressive. Too impressive. There was always the fear that he'd leave the moment he got what he wanted but somehow an invitation to his house seemed like a step toward a relationship, if that's what I really wanted...
"Yeah, a proper date," he said. "I'll cook dinner, pick out a nice movie or we could have a dip in the hot tub. If it's a nice night we could even sleep outside beneath the stars.
"That sounds terrific," I said and just hoped he was everything I hoped he'd be.
