“Did I do something wrong?”
“No not at all, I actually have exciting news for you Lilith,” she asked, “do you know what else I do besides teach?”
“No, ma’am, I don’t.”
“Well, I am the director and coach of the cheerleading squad, and I would like you to try out for the squad after school. I have already spoken to your father, and he said it was okay.”
Lilith bit her lip knowing that Shaymo was going to pick her up this afternoon. Suddenly she heard his voice “All is well my precious wife, this is all part of the plan.” This made her very excited because she had always wanted to be part of the cheerleading squad.
“I would love to!” she squealed. “I do need to call my father just to make sure. He taught me that if someone said to me ‘your parents said it was alright’ that I need to ask them anyway.”
The teacher clapped her hands and said, “your parents have taught you well. Please come see me after school, and you can use my phone.”
“Ok! But I am late for my next class. Would you write me a pass?”
“Of course!”
Handing Lilith the pass, she called out to her, “see you this afternoon!”
2:47…. 2:50…. 2:51…. 2:56…3:00…. “BUZZZZZZZ” the final school bell rang
Classes were finally out. Lilith grabbed her belongings and headed back to her fifth-period classroom where her teacher was waiting patiently. Her foster mother Dolores knew that her husband Santiago had already given permission, so she too gave her blessing to try out and wished her luck. They headed toward the girl’s locker room. Lilith was instructed to go to the basketball gymnasium once she had changed., where everybody would be waiting for her. The two captains of the squad looked very unhappy as there were several girls trying out. The squad was a close-knit group, and anybody coming in was considered an “outsider.” Lilith though had the presence of mind to call for her husband who entered her mind bringing her comfort.
“You will make the squad, my love,” he said to her. “Just let your beauty flow from the inside. Everybody will be captivated by your natural talents, beauty, and movements.”
She took a deep breath as she internalized his words of encouragement.
“Girls, this is Lilith. I have personally asked her to try out for Monica’s spot.” Turning to Lilith, she continued, “Monica and her family moved away last week.”
Nodding with a smile on her face, Lilith could hardly believe what was happening. Once they were ready, the coach put some dance music on to get them warmed up, reluctantly, the girls showed the newcomers how to stretch correctly. Mrs. McAlister marveled at how Lilith moved to the music. Indeed, it appeared that Lilith had become one with the music itself. She had never seen a student move like that before.
Tweeeeeet! The whistle blew.
“Okay girls!” She said, clapping her hands after blowing the whistle.
“Come! I want the girls to watch the routine we’ve been working on, so they can see how to do it.
The two girls stood side-by-side in front of Lilith and the other three trying out. Two of the three girls trying out were friends of the squad and were confident that one of them would get the open position on the squad.
In unison, they cried out, “Ready? OKAY!”
The routine they performed was set to a heavy dance beat and was one Lilith had seen previously at pep rallies. She found herself quietly dancing on the sidelines, watching them as they twirled, spun, and performed cartwheels and other various gymnastic moves. After the routine, both girls were breathing heavily and had worked up quite a sweat. The coach then turned to the four new girls. Each girl one by one tried to copy the routine the best they could, but each one seemed slow and awkward with the routine. Finally, it was Lilith’s turn. She stood there too afraid to try out.
Suddenly she heard Mrs. McAlister yell to her “Well, what are you waiting for? Get your skinny ass out there. C’mon girls! Let’s go again!”
Even though Lilith had never performed this routine, she was remarkably agile at picking it up. Not expecting perfection, the coach still marveled at her natural abilities.
“Are you sure you’ve never done this before, Lilith?” She inquired at the end of the routine.
Out of breath, she replied, “No ma’am, never. I watch the NCLAC on TV, but that’s it.”
The coach was pleased, and already knew she was going to offer her Monica’s spot on the roster. Then she asked Lilith to sit down on the bleachers while she spoke to the team’s captain and co-captain. Their disdain for Lilith was evident as they conferred.
“Listen,” Shaymo whispered again to her, “and you will hear their thoughts.”
She closed her eyes and concentrated. Much to her surprise, she could hear them as clearly as if she was standing there.
“Coach,” said the captain, “she’s not one of us.”
The co-captain echoed this sentiment. “Yeah, like we don’t even know her. Like, what if she’s an ax-murderer or something…gall…”
“Now girls, you saw how she moved out there! She’s got natural talent that even you’ve got to appreciate. Think about her movements and how she picked up so quickly on the routine.”
Lilith was enjoying this and could feel both girls rolling their eyes, sighing.
“Okay, okay, she can join the squad. But she CANNOT have Monica’s place! She will be at the end both in practice and performances!”
“Well, as captain, you have the prerogative to place her where you want,” said the coach.
The three of them turned toward Lilith, and the coach gave her the “thumbs up” sign. Lilith couldn’t contain herself, and ran up to meet them, throwing her arms around the coach while squealing, “Thank you! Oh, thank you!”
She turned to the other girls to hug them, but they would only extend their hands for a congratulatory handshake.
“Welcome to the squad,” they said. “Come prepared to work your butt off!”
“Oh, I will,” She said with a hint of a threat.
She grabbed her things and skipped out of the gymnasium. As the captain watched her long hair sway back and forth, Lilith could hear her thoughts as she exited the gym.
“If I was a guy…”
She ran to the front of the school, anxious to meet Shaymo. She saw him standing there looking like a sixteen-year-old boy just as her mother had told her. However, it appeared as if he was INSIDE the boy. She could see the outline of the boy’s body, along with the broader framework of Shaymo. The excitement of making the cheerleading squad suddenly left her mind as Shaymo spoke silently to her.
“I can’t exactly show up as a man, now can I?” She felt him smile.
“No, I guess you can’t. That would be kinda weird.”
“Come, walk with me.”
She had not seen this boy before and was sure he wasn’t from around here. He was about 5’10” and very handsome and somewhat muscular.
“Who is he? Lilith asked.
“He is one of us. He has loaned me his body for the day.” Changing the subject Shaymo asked
“So, how did cheerleading tryouts go?”
“I made it! I made the squad!” She bounced up and down.
Shaymo smiled at her youthful enthusiasm. “I know. I allowed that to happen. How do you think you knew the routine so well? I couldn’t have you fail, you know.”
She stopped.
“Y --You -- you helped me?” She was puzzled. “I thought I made it on my own?”
“You did.”
“But, you helped me!”
“You made it on your own. I just enhanced your talents a bit and might have nudged them some,” he laughed.
Lilith was put off that she had not done it on her own.
Shaymo looked at her and said, “Let’s forget about this and start our wedding night.”
Chapter 31
Shaymo quickly ushered her to the motel room he had already rented a room from. As
they entered th
e room, Shaymo went to the couch in the corner and lay his host body down. He wanted his own body to be the one to take his wife, so he pulled his own body out of the boy and walked over to Lilith.
“How did you do that?” she asked.
“You will be taught the ways of below soon. But I wish to begin our honeymoon, so no more questions.”
At this point Lilith began to be nervous.
“Maybe I’m not ready to be a wife. Maybe I am too young, maybe….”
She stuttered. “I-I-I’m afraid Shaymo, what if I can’t make you happy?”
Shaymo laughed at her nervousness “My love you already make me happy. I know that you will bring me much joy in our sex life as well. Do not worry, I shall show you the ways a woman can bring pleasure to a man. There are things that a woman instantly knows as well. You will be fine.”
Lilith suddenly calmed down, she no longer felt afraid of Shaymo, she only felt love. Shaymo took her into his arms and began to kiss her passionately. He rubbed her back and moved his hands to her blooming breast.
He could not believe his fortune to have found such a lovely girl. Lilith’s body was quivering with nervousness and anticipation. He unbuttoned her shirt and then her bra, eyeing her creamy white breasts, he could see they looked perfect, enlarged brown nipples accentuated the fullness of them. He lowered his mouth to one nipple, then the other.
He could hear her now labored breathing, her hands squeezed his shoulders not knowing where else to put them. He looked at her and in a sensual voice said, “I want you to undress for me. I want to see your beautiful body. Her eyes opened wide. She could see how aroused he was and felt a slight power over him which caused her to lose her inhibitions. She smiled sensually at him and unzipped her skirt, lowering it slowly down her legs, she was clad only in the G-string that she had borrowed from her older sister’s drawer. It was his turn for his breath to become labored. She could see that his manhood was pushing out his pants. She lowered her panties, smiling, she turned in a full circle to show him her body.
“Now it’s your turn to undress so I could see your body,” she said seductively to him.
“You undress me. That is your job”
Feeling empowered, she walked up to him and pulled his long, crème colored, linen shirt over his head. She could see that his chest was covered in dark curly hair, it ran down his chest and disappeared into his waistline. She then unbuttoned his pants and slid them down his hips. His length sprung up long, hard and thick.
Instinctively, she sank to her knees. Looking up at Shaymo she smiled and licked the wetness off him. This emitted a long low moan from him. She then slowly put it in her mouth and tried to slide her mouth down his length, but he was much too wide. Holding her head, he pushed her mouth deeper onto him, she started to make choking sounds, but still he persisted. Suddenly she was almost at the base and he let go. She quickly pulled away and started coughing.
“You choked me! Don’t do that again!”
He looked at her sternly.
“I will do as I wish my dear. I am your husband.”
She hung her head and whispered, “Yes Shaymo, I’m sorry.” Repentant, she again put her mouth on his still growing sheath and this time managed to swallow his shaft to the hilt without his help, slowing pulling it out of her mouth she licked the mushroom tip, soon she was bobbing up and down, eliciting ahh’s and moans from him. He suddenly pulled her mouth away from him and said smiling “Enough, or I won’t have anything left for our consummation.”
She stood up and began to kiss him. He slowly pushed her toward the bed and laid her down on the soft coverlet. He began to kiss her from the top of her head, down to her toes. As he came back up, he opened her legs and began to lick the heart of her femininity. She moaned as she felt his tongue probing her lips. Suddenly she felt as she had never felt. A torrent of love juice came out, allowing Shaymo to taste her for the first time. He was able to catch each drop.
“Oh my gosh, did I just have an orgasm? I’ve read about them in the harlequin books before, but never had one.”
He chuckled.
“Yes, my dear, that was an orgasm, and you will have many more to come.”
He then pushed himself up her length and lay on top of her.
“I am going to make you mine in all ways my Lilith.”
He began to kiss her passionately, rubbing his length up and down the junction of her thighs. This made her quite sensitive making her want to orgasm again.
“I don’t want you to release yet, do you understand me?” Shaymo commanded.
“Ok but stop rubbing me like that”. She Looked Shaymo in the eyes and said, “I’m ready to become your woman.”
Smiling Shaymo placed his length between her folds and slowly pushed it in. Lilith winced as he pushed even harder. Then, without warning, he pushed it all the way in. Lilith gasped, feeling the pain being opened to his uses. He continued to ravage her with a vengeance. Soon they both were breathing hard.
Shaymo yelled “Now! I want you to peak now Lilith!”
She needed no further encouragement as they both reached their pleasures at the same time.
“Wow, I never thought it would be so awesome,” Lilith giggled.
“You my love were amazing. Thank you for giving me you,” Shaymo said smiling.
“I love you Shaymo. I’m really happy I married you.”
Chapter 32
As Lilith made her way through high school, then college, their afternoon trysts progressed to include nights, then entire weekends.
Following college graduation, she began attending classes to learn the ways of below. One of her teachers, Alaya, spoke to Shaymo at length about becoming her teacher and mentor. Shaymo had profound respect for Alaya and gave his approval for private training, knowing that Alaya possessed the skills necessary to teach Lilith all she needed to know. Alaya was amazed at Lilith’s ability to learn quickly and showed her secrets reserved for those of privileged status, such as making her eyes light up to look more menacing or enticing, or how to procure and use certain herbs for both their usual and uncommon uses. They grew very close, almost like sisters, Alaya soon found her student almost surpassing the skills she had.
One day, Shaymo came to her with a determined look on his face, one that made Lilith shudder with dread.
“Do you remember what your mother said about following me and trusting me?"
An involuntary tremble shook Lilith’s body.
“For you to be here always, you have to surrender your earthly life to me. You won’t feel any pain, but you will have to die. We can sustain your body during this process, and then you will return to your body, which will continue to age as it normally would.”
Lilith began to cry. She loved her husband, but she was still just a teenager with her full life ahead of her. Shaymo put his arms around her and kissed her gently.
“There isn’t any other way, and it will enable us to be together always. Eventually, you will have to do this, but if you aren’t ready now, then we will wait,” he said.
Taking a deep breath and trying not to act like a baby, Lilith agreed.
“When will we do this? I am ready to please you in whatever way I can.”
Shaymo was delighted and took her by the hand without saying a word. He led her to the bedroom and told her to close her eyes before speaking in a strange language. She had never been so scared in her life. Her body started shaking, then convulsed three times. All went dark. Silent. She felt herself falling, then saw her life roll out before her eyes. Darkness ensued once more, and she heard a voice speaking to her but could see nothing.
“What do you choose?” Said the voice.
“I choose to follow my husband.”
“It must be of your own doing,” said the voice.
“It is,” She answered.
Shaymo appeared in front of her and bade her to follow him. She first realized she was cold when her skin had broken out in goosebumps. Then, she noticed there was no vegetat
ion. No sky. No…. nothing. Then she saw the First Door. She instinctively reached for Shaymo’s hand. He opened the door and led her through it. Just like Talitha so many centuries before, the door slammed with a force that Lilith couldn’t comprehend. Continuing their walk, she saw the Second Door. Once again, Shaymo provided comfort by taking her hand. The further she went, the colder the air got, and when they reached the Second Door, she was shivering. Like the first, the door opened as they got there. This time, however, Lilith was the first to go through. After that door slammed closed, she noticed the air was more putrid, almost gagging her. Lilith turned to Shaymo seeking comfort, but he didn't seem to notice. The further they walked, the worse the air was to breathe, and she was nearly heaving when she saw the Third Door. With a flick of his wrist, the door opened, and she walked through it with trepidation. Pausing a moment on the other side, Shaymo took her arm and pulled her forward. She turned to Shaymo and noticed his looks had changed. He was no longer handsome, and his eyes had become red. She was so scared but kept moving forward until her mind began to question her decision. She was walking into the unknown, and her feet seemed glued to the ground. Was she making the right decision? Was this what death felt like? Then she was overcome with the smell which seemed to penetrate her very being. It was almost vomitus. She wanted to turn back, but the closed door blocked her path and would not open. Shaymo finally broke his silence.
“You can’t go back until you complete your journey. See that door up ahead? That’s the Fourth Door. It is the last one. I can’t do this for you.”
Lilith didn’t know how, but her feet began moving forward once more and she nearly wretched with each step. The door suddenly seemed upon her, and she wondered how she got there so fast. There were smaller demons on her side, bidding her to go through and complete her journey. Shaymo stood behind her, reassuring her that this was necessary for them to be together always. Holding her breath, she ran through the Fourth Door before finally vomiting. Her eyes adjusted quickly to the dark and she could see the men leering at her with glee until Shaymo appeared and told them she was off limits.
