Hummingbird

by Nathan L. Flamank

  ‘Out like a light the minute my head touched the pillow, for some reason I must have been exhausted,’ Selena replied with a mischievous smile playing at the corners of her sculpted mouth.

  Selena took a seat on the lounger to the left of Jack, sitting so that she was facing him, she let her knees fall open so that Jack would have the perfect view and the way his eyes settled on her crotch sent a tingle through Selena.

  Jack chuckled as he lit her a cigarette and when she leaned forwards to take it her breasts almost fell out of the tight bikini top that she was wearing. Selena took the Marlboro and sat back and took a long drag on the cigarette, the nicotine hit her system and she sighed with contentment.

  ‘I know it’ll kill me one day but I do so fucking love my cigarettes.’

  Jack laughed.

  ‘I always joke that my mom never raised no quitter.’

  Selena chuckled, ‘I like that; I’ll have to use that line sometime.’

  Selena sipped her coffee; it was hot and strong and the caffeine had an instant effect on her. Selena unconsciously adjusted the gusset of her bikini briefs, her delicate fingers held Jack’s gaze and Selena realised what she was doing.

  ‘Sorry,’ she said.

  ‘Don’t be. You look amazing in that bikini.’

  ‘Thank you.’

  ‘We’ll spend the day here today, this evening we’ll go out for a meal, I don’t feel like cooking.’

  ‘Whatever you say Jack.’ Selena flicked ash from the tip of her cigarette in to an ashtray that Jack had produced. ‘As long as it’s not Hemingway’s.’

  Jack laughed.

  ‘I’m sure I can think of somewhere nicer.’

  Jack finished his cigarette and reclined back on the lounger; the sun was now breaking above the treetops and he closed his eyes against the sun.

  Moments later he heard Selena getting to her feet, he remained where he was, there was nowhere that she could go and the sun’s warmth felt good and he was beginning to doze when he felt hands pull at the towel that he had wrapped around his groin and he opened his left eye a little and saw Selena squatting at the side of his lounger, he watched as her fingers pulled the towel away from his groin and he saw her lick her lips.

  Selena finished her cigarette and watched as Jack settled back on his lounger, his eyes drifted shut and she could see that he was beginning to doze. She stood up and walked to the edge of the balcony and looked out over the forest canopy.

  This truly is a remarkable place, she said to herself. I love it here, I could stay here forever, I could live like this until the day I die.

  Selena turned around and looked down at Jack, she looked at his half naked body; the network of scars across his abdomen and chest, scars that she knew he had received honouring his vow of duty to his country, he’d spoken of the scars only once before, years past, long before she had fucked everything up between them, Jack had told her how his unit had been ambushed, how four of his fellow Rangers were killed and several others, himself included, badly injured.

  Selena also recalled the pride in his voice when he had told her how even though he and his fellow Rangers were all injured (those that weren’t already dead) that they had managed to kill the enemy and secure the area to await an air lift out of the desert.

  Selena smiled as her eyes roamed across his broad shoulders and down his arms, arms that were taut with sinew and tendon to his hands, hands that were strong, his long graceful fingers and she realised that looking at him was getting her wet.

  Jesus Selena, you’re like a bitch on heat, she thought and then she smiled and walked back to the loungers, she squatted down beside Jack’s lounger right next to his towel-covered groin.

  I want to see his cock.

  Selena looked at Jack’s face to see if he was watching but he appeared to be in a doze and she gently pried the towel loose and peeled the folds back to reveal his manhood.

  Even soft it’s a thing of beauty, she said to herself and she licked her lips. Am I really going to do this? Of course you are, she added and she adjusted her position and leaned forwards over his groin; she’d tied her long hair back in a ponytail and Selena lowered her face, she wet her lips and tongue and licked the tip of her tongue across Jack’s hairless balls; she could see the trail of spittle she left behind and she watched as Jack’s balls tightened, she could see the sacs undulate beneath the skin and she licked again and smiled as his scrotum tightened up even more.

  Selena looked up from Jack’s groin and checked to see if he was stirring but he seemed to be out of it.

  Not for long, Selena mused and she ran the back of her fingernails along the entirety of Jack’s cock, she watched as his cock began to fill with blood and she lowered her mouth to his scrotum and parted her lips and closed her mouth over his balls, she sucked them, her tongue swirling around the now-tight skin of his balls and Selena wrapped her fingers around his shaft, she stroked his cock, she could feel it growing in her hand and she studied the veins running along the underside of his cock and she tightened her grip on his cock and slowly eased his foreskin back down over his glans and she began to work her hand up and down his cock until he was rock hard.

  Selena looked up Jack’s body to his face and now she could see that he had a small smile on his face and even though his eyes were still closed she knew he was awake and Selena slipped her mouth from his balls, she moved position and quickly lowered her mouth over the end of his cock, she contracted her lips in to a tight O and pushed her face down towards the base of his cock until she felt his glans pressing at the back of her throat and she started to move her mouth up and down the entire length of his cock; on each upward movement she would constrict her lips tighter and on each downward push she would lessen the constriction until she had a rhythm going and she squeezed Jack’s testicles with her free hand and Jack grunted and his cock began to empty and Selena swallowed; she loved the taste of his semen and she worked every last drop from him before finally releasing his balls and cock and she lifted her face to see Jack smiling at her.

  Selena had a string of come snaking down her chin and she scooped it up with her baby finger and sucked her finger clean.

  ‘You look like the cat that got the cream,’ Selena said.

  Jack chuckled, ‘I think you got the cream.’

  Selena squeezed his cock one last time and a final bead of come seeped from the “eye” of his cock and she lowered her face to his groin, she kept her gaze on his as her tongue flickered out from between her lips and caught that last pearl and she snapped her tongue back between her lips and she wiped a finger across her bottom lip and smiled up at Jack.

  ‘I love you,’ she told him and she stood up.

  Selena looked down at Jack, ‘I’m going to love you until the day I die, you don’t have to love me back, I’ll love enough for the both of us.’

  Selena’s emotions got the better of her and tears welled in her eyes and she felt a single tear roll down her cheek, she quickly turned away and started for the door back in to the kitchen.

  Jack’s voice halted her.

  ‘Stop Selena.’

  Selena folded her arms below her breasts, her left hand holding her right elbow and her right hand gripping her left elbow tightly.

  She heard Jack get to his feet and moments later he was right there at her back, she could feel his groin pressing against her ass; the thin black material of her bikini bottoms doing little to shield her from his warmth and Jack’s arms enveloped her, his hands gripping hers and he buried his face in to her hair and Selena fell back in to his strong embrace.

  ‘Loving you isn’t the problem Selena’ Jack breathed and she wept at his words, ‘I loved you from the moment I met you, that love is still there but it’s a shadow of what it once was, trusting you, that’s a different matter.’

  ‘I know,’ Selena sobbed, ‘I know.’ Selena turned around and pressed herself in to him and their arms were soon wrapped around one another, the intensity of their embrace threaten
ed to unmoor her from reality and she looked up in to Jack’s sad eyes, ‘I want the chance to make you love me like you once did, will you give me that opportunity?’

  Jack wiped a tear from Selena’s face.

  ‘I’ll try,’ Jack said softly and Selena smiled.

  ‘That’s good enough for me,’ Selena replied. ‘That’s good enough for me.’

  *****

  Even wearing the five inch heeled sandals Jack still stood a good seven inches taller than Selena and she still had to turn her face up to him, and when she was barefoot he towered a foot over her and she has always liked how he was so much taller, she’d always felt protected in his arms or when they had walked hand in hand through the park, and right now as they stood together on the rooftop with Jack’s hand pressed against her lower back as she leant in to his side she felt that old familiar feeling of security.

  They stood at one end of the pool (the deep end) and Selena marvelled at the attention to detail that Jack had put in to the design of this hidden Eden.

  ‘Come with me,’ Jack said and he turned from the pool and Selena followed him to a small metal cupboard mounted to the wall next to the rooftop’s entrance. Jack opened the cupboard by typing in a six figure code and he swung the door open and he told Selena to turn around.

  ‘Don’t move, just watch,’ he said and he pressed a red button on a control panel inside the cupboard.

  Selena felt a rumbling deep beneath her feet and her mouth opened in a wide O.

  ‘Earthquake?’

  ‘No, just watch.’

  Jack slipped his arm around her shoulders and Selena welcomed the close proximity and she felt a spark shoot through her when his hand slipped down over her right shoulder and his fingers slid inside the right cup of bikini top, his palm felt cool against her hardening nipple.

  ‘What the!’ Selena said as the rumbling intensified and she heard the hiss of hydraulics and she saw steam venting from the very edge of the rooftop and to her amazement she watched as the rooftop extended out high over the trees.

  The extension continued to slowly move outwards on heavy pistons and Jack slipped his hand from her bikini and he took her hand and led her to the edge of the rooftop; Selena was so stunned (and a little afraid) by what was happening that she paid no attention to the fact that her right breast was no longer in the black slinkiness of her bikini.

  At the rooftop’s edge Jack told her to stand looking out at the new extended portion of the rooftop.

  ‘Hold on to the railing, you won’t want to miss this.’

  ‘Jack!’ she exclaimed as he stepped back.

  ‘Relax, it’s perfectly safe, you have my word.’

  Selena grasped the top of the metal railing that ran the length of the glass panelling that surrounded the rooftop and she looked down at the extending platform, it looked like a slab of heavy glass with a chrome sheet covering it and after another thirty seconds there was a loud hiss of escaping pressure and the platform ceased to move.

  Selena looked back at Jack and he laughed and pressed another button on the console.

  ‘Keep your eyes on the platform Selena.’

  Selena looked out at the extended platform and watched as the metal sheet retracted back in to the wall, she could hear more hydraulics as the sheet retracted.

  Selena gasped when the platform was finally fully revealed; it was another swimming pool, impressive in and of its own but what really made her mouth drop open was the fact that the entirety of the pool-platform appeared to be made of some sort of transparent glass, she could see the forest far below through the platform; the image was a little distorted but nonetheless it was breath-taking.

  Another loud hiss of escaping air caused Selena to startle and she watched as glass panels slid up from the base of the extended platform, they ceased to rise after five feet and then Selena gasped again as part of the rooftop that she was standing on began to slide apart.

  ‘What the fuck,’ she exclaimed as the roof parted in the middle until a trench six inches deep and three feet across was revealed, she could see that the trench ended at the side of the pool and she grasped what was about to happen moments before it did and there was a strong sound of water being released and water flooded in to the channel that the parting of the roof had revealed.

  ‘Like Moses parting the Red Sea,’ Jack said as he walked up alongside her.

  Selena heard another rush of water and watched as water began to pour forth from an as yet unrevealed water spout set back against the wall that led back inside this wondrous house; she watched as the pool on the extending platform began to fill and she saw the main pool was half empty before the fresh intake of water began to refill it.

  ‘This is amazing Jack,’ Selena said, she had to speak up to be heard over the sound of running water.

  Jack just nodded his head.

  ‘It’ll quieten down in a minute, the pools are just balancing out, it’ll start to circulate soon and then it’ll be no louder than a running brook.’

  Another five minutes passed and then the transformation was complete and just as Jack said it would the only noise that Selena could hear was the gentle lapping of water in the two pools and the trickling of water as it flowed along the trough.

  Selena gingerly stepped forwards to peer down at the extended pool-platform and she sucked in a deep breath.

  ‘My God Jack, it’s like something out of a superhero movie, you know, like Iron Man’s house.’

  Jack laughed.

  ‘Never watched them so I’ll take your word for it.’

  ‘What’s the platform made out of it?’

  Jack stood next to Selena and she leaned back in to his hip as his right hand snaked beneath her right arm and his fingers closed on her exposed breast and Selena looked down at his hand caressing her large breast.

  ‘The architect did tell me but I forget, it’s some kind of re-enforced glass, she mentioned something about advances in carbon and glass technology but it was all over my head.’

  ‘Is it safe?’

  ‘Better be,’ Jack said and before Selena knew what was happening he had picked her up in his arms and launched her out over the balcony.

  Selena screamed madly before splashing down in to the second pool, she hit the water back first and as the water closed over her she caught a momentary glimpse of Jack climbing down a ladder that she had not known existed.

  Selena spluttered to the surface and managed to swim to the edge of the pool and she grabbed the smooth surface of the pool’s edge and tried to climb out but her fingers lost their traction on the slippery surface and she slipped back in to the pool.

  Selena looked up and Jack was towering above her, his naked body blocking out the sun and he held a hand down for her to take. Selena grasped his hand and pulled with all her strength and Jack fell forwards in to the pool’s warm waters and Selena spun around and dropped on top of his head before he could stand up and she was laughing as she tried to keep his head under the water but Jack was too strong and he pushed her away and came up between her legs lifting her up out of the water so that she was sat on his shoulders and he stood up in the pool and Selena laughed.

  ‘That was not funny Jack, I practically shit myself!’

  ‘Now that’s something I have no wish to see.’

  Selena raised her arms out from her sides for balance as Jack’s hands grasped her thighs and Selena pressed her groin hard against the back of his head. Jack spun in a quick circle and Selena screamed with nervous laughter, she looked down and was instantly hit by a wave or vertigo; it felt and looked like she was high above the trees without any kind of support; the platform’s transparency causing her to feel light-headed.

  ‘This is too fucking weird,’ she said.

  *****

  Selena was sat on the edge of the pool, her legs from the knee down were in the water and her feet (she was still wearing the black heeled sandals, though one of the ribbon straps had come loose and was swaying in the pool’s cur
rent – Jack hadn’t let he remove them) kicked lazily under the surface of the water.

  He won’t let me take the heels off but he soon had me out of my bikini though didn’t he.

  Selena looked to her left where she could see the two piece swimsuit drying in the sun, from her seated angle it looked like the bikini was floating in mid-air.

  Selena placed her palms flat against the platform beneath her and tilted her face up to the sun; it was baking hot and she could feel sweat running down her back. Selena looked down at her right hand and she spread her fingers and against she had that disconcerting feeling of being high in the air with nothing beneath her but the trees over a hundred feet beneath her.

  Selena turned back to face the pool and saw Jack’s face break the surface, he smiled at her.

  ‘Spread your legs.’

  Selena returned his smile and she let her knees fall open.

  ‘Further, show me it all.’ Jack breast-stroked through the water, Selena could feel his gaze on her crotch and she spread her legs wide.

  ‘Spread your pussy.’

  Selena felt a tingle, she slipped a hand between her legs, she pressed her closed fingers against her sex and then spread her fingers so that the folds of her labia were stretched wide; she could feel wetness already beginning to run down her fingers.

  ‘Keep ‘em spread, lie back.’

  Selena did as Jack instructed and she closed her eyes. Selena gasped when she felt Jack’s hands slide between the smoothness of the glass platform and her naked buttocks, his fingers gripping her buttocks he pulled her closer to the edge of the pool.

  Selena had finally accepted what she had suspected for the last twelve hours or so, she had become Jack’s whore and she didn’t want for it to end, with Jack being in total control there came something else that Selena had never dreamt possible: freedom, now that she had no say, no control at all over her inhibitions had been swept away, her actions were a result of another’s orders and so she couldn’t be held accountable for the things he made her do and she loved it.
