My Dark Friend

A bit of a longer chapter...

“I just don’t get it,” Lila puzzled as she opened the door to the apartment and scooted Mason in. He bounded in silently and took a seat on the couch. Austin looked in from the kitchen and pointed at Mason with a wondering shrug and look. Lila motioned him to the hall so they were out of ear range as the TV flipped on to Spongebob Squarepants.

“I knocked on every door and no one seems to know who he is or who he belongs to,” Lila told Austin, exasperated. “And I continuously asked him who his parents were or where he lived and…you know what….I don’t think he wants to be found.”

“Do you think he was abused?”

“I dunno, maybe. He doesn’t seem too eager to find his parents.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I dunno,” Lila replied as she looked over at the dark-head fixed on the TV. He turned around, aware of being watched and smiled with unbelievably white and straight teeth. Lila smiled back before grabbing her brother and pulling him into her room.

“I guess, I will have to take him to the police station tomorrow,” Lila suggested. Austin nodded in agreement. Lila returned the nod and began to pull blankets and pillows from her closet. “I mean, it is too late now and they will know what to do with him.”

“You know. You wouldn’t have to worry about this if you would have just left him,” Austin said, a bit testily. Lila gaped at him, tossing a pillow into his face.

“You are cruel. I couldn’t leave him crying on the stoop.”

“I dunno. The kid gives me a bad vibe.”

“He is just a kid, Austin,” Lila began. After dropping Austin at the apartment and giving him a quick tour, Lila went with Mason to find his parents. They had searched for hours and hours before coming back. Lila was exhausted and pitied the kid. Each time she asked him a question about himself, he was vague or didn’t answer or changed the subject. She nearly lost her patience with him when he pressed all the buttons in the elevator and caused an uprising of anger with other patrons. And he clung to her side, clutching her hand. Yet he seemed happy and content through it all by silent. Sometimes he would share a joke or ask a question but he didn’t seem to want to open up.

“I know but he could have been someone else’s problem. Not to be selfish, but didn’t you gut your day for me?”

“Something came up. I apologized before Austin. I really am, okay?” Her voice was rising as she collected the pillow and blankets in her arms. “I really couldn’t leave a kid on the step, alone and frightened. I am not cold-hearted.”

“Neither am I but you never know. His parents could be psycho or even he can be messed up. You never know about kids nowadays. Believe me, I know. I’ve seen it personally.”

“I am taking him to the police tomorrow, okay? Are you okay with that? But tonight I am tired and so is he and I cannot live with myself if I left him with the police overnight! Okay. This is my apartment and I am capable of looking after myself,” she nearly shouted. Austin raised his hands in defense.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I am just a bit edgy. I’ve seen really messed up kids in the last ten years and they were younger than him. It’s is good that people still have a shred of decency in the world. I just get a very weird and standoffish vibe. But, if it will make you happy, I will put up with it. You are providing a roof and a job for me. I guess it won’t be that bad.”

“Thanks.” Lila relaxed a little more.

“Hey, if my sister kicked me out on the first night, boy, I will look so ungrateful. Maybe prison spoiled me,” he smiled. Lila turned and opened the door. Mason was standing with the remote in his hand. Lila stepped back in shock. How long had he been there? Did he hear them fight? He doesn’t look upset.

“I’m hungry,” he said. Lila sighed and patted him on the head with her free hand.

“Okay. I’ll get your something to eat, sweetie. And you are going to be staying with us tonight. You will have the couch all to yourself, won’t that be cool.”


“Uh-huh,” he murmured, smiling softly at Lila. Lila walked away and before Mason followed, he stuck his tongue rudely at Austin. Austin’s mouth fell but Mason bounded after Lila quickly as she set up his bed on the couch.

Lila crawled into her bed. The soft sheets around her were comforting as she snuggled deep into them. She had fixed them all a hot meal and they sat and watched Deal or No Deal until about ten. Mason had fell asleep, curled like a content cat, nest to Lila. It broke her heart to think of what Mason could be going through. Was he abused? Or was he really psychotic? Was he abandoned? Everything that could be wrong crossed through her mind. She had difficulty drifting to sleep but it finally overcame her.


What seemed like moments later, dreaming, Lila felt like her bed groan as someone’s weight was pressed upon it. Hot breath brushed against her ear as cool lips caressed the outer shell. She giggled at the sensation but didn’t wake. It was a nice dream she was having. An arm wrapped under hers as deft fingers skimmed along her side. They slipped underneath her night shirt, cool against her flesh. The long fingers curled around her breast and softly squeezed. The other hand brushed away the hair from her neck and planted cool kisses along her flesh. A hot tongue flickered out, tasting her and groaning.


Lila moaned as those clever digits circled her growing nipple tenderly, softly pinching and rubbing and fondling. Wetness pooled between her legs as she shifted into the hand. It began to work on her other breast, taking extra care of each. The mouth nibbled her ear, licking and tasting thoroughly. That expert hand moved away from her used breasts, crawling down her stomach and slipping between the waistband of her pajamas and then her panties. Wet and hot from all the attention, the unknown manipulator’s finger plunged into her throbbing womanhood.


She moaned and parted her legs a little more, getting into her wet dream. The finger pumped slowly and excruciatingly in and out. Another rubbed her clit in the same pace. Another finger entered her and the paced started the build. Lila moaned hotly as pleasure began to build in her. It was searing and beginning to the released. Digits thrust into at hurried pace as she felt a warm body spoon against her.


A hard object poked her back as her mystery lover panted and kissed her ear. She was so close…so very close. With a final soft cry, her orgasm rippled through her in a burst of boiling passion. A fine sweat had dampened her skin and the hand retreated away. She stirred as she slowly began to gain consciousness. That orgasm had woken her. Her dream companion seemed to stay as she heard the faint smack of lips and a satisfied moan.


“You taste so sweet, dove. I told you I can make you feel better,” a masculine voice whispered. Lila’s eyes jerked open at the sound of the voice. A cold shudder ran through her as she jerked up in bed. She looked over to find dark emptiness in her bed. Her door was still shut and the small glimmer of daylight shown through her window. Lila jumped out of bed and hurried out of her room. The kitchen and living room where still as she entered. Mason was sleeping soundly on the couch, slightly snoring. She looked in the hall to see her brother’s door still shut.


Lila shuddered and rubbed her temples. It must have been a dream. A nice little wet dream. Yet why did it startle her so much; the sound of that voice and the coo of that pet name on his lips. It seemed familiar but yet she could not recall. It was strange and disturbing. Lila yawned and shuffled back to her room. No one was there lurking in the dark or in her closet or the bathroom. When she couldn’t find an explanation except it had to have been a bizarre wet dream, Lila crawled back into her bed and fell back asleep.

As usual, reviews are greatly appreciated. I am always thrilled to see one!
