Shadows In The Corner (#1.5 Masters Of The Dark Series)

THE NIGHTMARES

I woke up suddenly in the dark of the night, in absolute silence except for the soft and constant breathing of Tana who was lying asleep next to me. Most nights were like this; me having nightmares about what happened a few months ago and Tana comforting me after she felt me wake up. However tonight she didn't open her eyes, Tana was too tired to notice that I was having another one of my episodes. She didn't know much about my nightmares, but she understood what I was going through. Richard Thorn. Sometimes he presented himself as this benevolent presence, he was gentle and justified his injurious desires whenever he made me succumb to his expert fingers and iron orders. Other times he was a demon who had escaped from hell itself to torture me in the vilest way possible, some more terrifying than others. I trembled just remembering how Richard's body felt against mine, and even though he never had the chance or the yearning to f**k me, I found myself wishing he would. I think it was the strangest thing of all. I wasn't attracted to men, not that I noticed it before, but there was something about Richard that made me question every one of my principles.

I groaned when I shifted as I felt how my shaft throbbed from the aftermath. I placed my open palm against the bulge between my legs and moaned softly at the discomfort. Now Tana had heard me; she rolled to her side to face me and reached blindly for me under the covers. Her fingers massaged my c**k to feel how hard I was. “I thought you were too tired for anything.” I teased her as I thrust into her fist. She pumped her hand up and down my length with so much delicacy I found myself wishing she’d be rougher with me.

“I am.” Her voice came out slurred from sleep. “But I heard you.”

“And decided to give me a hand?” I let out a throaty laugh when she scooted closer to lay her head against my sprawled thigh. Her eyes were closed and her plump lips partly open. I noticed the movement under the sheets on her side- her other hand buried between her creamy thighs as she touched me between mine. “come here and ride me.” I coaxed her up by pulling at her arms. She straddled me and began rubbing her folds against my c**k, coating it with her juices.

“I am tired, really.” She said holding herself up with her hands on my knees, the position making her arch her back beautifully as her full breasts swayed gently with her rhythm.

“If you’re so tired, how come you’re dripping all over me? You’re making quite the mess.”

“You wanna do this or not?” she snapped. I had pushed a button; I knew it but that didn’t stop me from reaching between us and graze her clit with the pad of my thumb. She moaned loudly and begged for me to keep touching her- I could only oblige. Soon after she lifted her hips and sank all the way down to the hilt. For a while she remained still, taking time to adjust and then she began to ride me furiously. Her t**s bounced deliciously right in front of my face; I bent my head to take a n****e between my teeth and bit down.  She raked her nails down my back so harshly I felt the sting.

“Again.” I groaned against her breast. “Do it again.” And, God help me, she did. It felt so good to feel that tiny amount of pain. Sometimes she would bite my neck, my pecs or pull at my n*****s and that usually made me come right away but right now, as crazed as I felt from the nightmare…

“Madox!” she warned with a high-pitched voice. Without second thought I pushed her off me and she fell on the mattress with her legs splayed open. I moved so fast she had no time to react; my tongue lapped at her as I pumped two fingers furiously into her drenched p***y. She came with a loud scream arching off the bed completely. As she rode the waves of her orgasm I pulled back and fisted my c**k, spraying ropes of c*m across her stomach. She sighed as she stretched on the bed, a huge smile spread across her face. “Thanks.” She muttered.

“Welcome?” with a chuckle I reached for the tissue box sitting on my nightstand to clean her up. “Sorry for waking you up, though. I really didn’t mean to.”

“You know you can wake me up for this any time, baby.”

“Of course.” I laughed then but it wasn’t something to be proud for. Was it normal? Waking up with a raging hard on whenever I had a nightmare? It often led to me jacking off in the bathroom or in us f*****g for hours. I knew another round was coming, I could feel it- I didn’t want another, though. Tana moved closer to me and sat beside me; she pulled the sheets over her body in modesty. “What?” I raised a brow at her when she stared at me up and down.

“I just realized… you haven’t been on top for a while.”

“You noticed.” I groaned throwing my head back against the headboard. “Of course, you did.” One of the qualities of my fiancé was her great ability to notice those little details that might not mean anything at all but always meant something huge. In the past, I used to take her without warning. In the kitchen, on the patio, in the pool, in the shower and most of the time I was the one on top of her. Lately the s*x was great, fantastic; It was only good if she was on me, in some way or another. "I guess I prefer it that way now." I’m an i***t. “And you?” I hadn’t given a thought about Tana’s preference. How could I be such a d**k to her?

 She grinned and winked, then leaned in to kiss my cheek before she got out the bed. “I like it this way too. Your orgasms are more intense now.” She pulled on my arm to coax me out of bed. “Let’s take a shower, come.”

“Again?” I teased her, which only earned me an ear-ringing smack across my upper arm. Tana and I showered without having s*x, which was something ... new to us. Many times, we ended up in a mess and dirtier than we were before we stepped into the shower. There was a tranquility in sharing this small space with her, because we only existed the two and there were no nightmares. When we got out of the shower, we dried ourselves with towels and went back to bed to continue sleeping. Surprisingly I didn't have nightmares but when I woke up in the morning, Tana had my d**k in her mouth. That was a good way to wake up.
