the trance

I took a deep breath in like I always do when I set foot in his room, just to see what incense he is burning. Musk was his sent of choice that day. I grew to like that sent, as he burnt it often.

Jake plopped down on his bed and slid under his Egyptian cotton bed sheets. That was just enough to snap me out of my trance and focus on him. He was only visible from the waist up and his chest was bare. He was truly handsome in every aspect, but again, at that time I didn’t want to admit it to myself. He stared at me with a smile and patted the bed next to him, asking me to join him. Of course I did so without asking questions, and as soon as I was under those covers he pulled me close to him so my head was resting against his chest. Sure, whenever I spent the night I always wound up with my head on his chest. In fact, one day when he stayed over and I rested my head on him, my mom came in and saw us. Let’s say that she didn’t like that one bit.

He whispered softly into my ear and ran his hand through my head fur. I murred softly, he knew exactly how to treat me right. Without thinking I let my tongue snake out and lick across his chest once. He drew in a slight breath as I gasped and pushed myself away from him. I have to admit I was nervous, I didn’t want him to think I was like that because I wasn’t, well at that time I didn’t think I was. I began to stutter and slur my words together as I tried to tell him that I was sorry and didn’t mean to do that. He wasn’t bothered by that at all and again at that time I thought that was strange. In fact instead of being bothered he seemed to enjoy it and still wanted me to lie on him. Of course I didn’t, instead I made myself comfortable opposite of him.

I curled up into a ball there and drifting off into deep thought, not a wink of sleep coming to me. I couldn’t get comfortable as I squirmed around. Jake moved closer and pulled me close to him. He told me that it was ok and he squeezed in the words I love you....
