When we kissed this time, it felt as gentle and warm as our shared shower. And the fact that these two contrasting moments went hand in hand only highlighted that, as far as this man was concerned, I was already lost.

Making one fantasy after another come true with this woman was more than I had ever expected. More than I would have allowed myself to experience if I had considered what I was demanding of her in those moments.
It felt all the more meaningful that she fully surrendered to me. Amelia trusted me and my judgment, and she was willing to delve into darker fantasies. Of course, I had clued her into my plans beforehand, resulting in her grabbing her raincoat from the hook next to the door. Thanks to the washer and dryer, it was no longer covered in mud. How long it would stay clean was another matter entirely.
With a spring in her step, she moved back toward me and slid the jacket on under my watchful eye. Then, almost playfully, she tilted her head. "Ready?"
"If you are."
"And you're giving me a head start?"
"It wouldn't be fair otherwise."
Whether it was truly fair was still up for debate. I knew the area. Amelia didn't. That's why I reached into the shelf next to me and pulled out a flashlight, which I tossed to her. She caught it mid-air, then let out a snort.
"So you need a neon sign to find me in the dark forest?"
"I'd rather not end up back at the B and B with broken bones."
She eyed the flashlight thoughtfully before slipping it into her pocket. Both of us knew I wouldn't chase her miles through the woods.
The distance between us made the first surge of adrenaline pulse through my veins.
"Good luck, Daddy," she teased, spinning on her heel and flinging the door open.
Immediately, the rain, which never seemed to end, sprayed inside. There were certainly better conditions for a game like this, yet the atmosphere it created was undeniable.
Amelia stepped outside. I watched her shiver then flick on the flashlight and briskly move toward the treeline directly in front of the cabin. Her figure grew smaller, the light weaker, until I heard only my breath and the rain drumming on the roof and against the windows.
I left my raincoat hanging on its hook. I wouldn't need it.
There had once been a time when I had believed games like this didn't exist in reality. That no person would engage in an adult version of tag. Then I was proven wrong and learned that there were endless desires a person could have and act upon. That many people enacted their fantasies in a safe environment, and there was a difference between mere sex and a scenario like this. It didn't just happen; it required proper preparation, a conversation, setting boundaries, and detailed agreements so that everyone knew what was coming.
It definitely wasn't the norm. But it was all the more thrilling.
In my mind, I counted how much time had passed since Amelia had left the cabin, and now I decided it was enough of a head start. She wasn't going to get lost in the woods… but be quickly found and captured by me so we could tackle the next part of our carefully crafted storyline.
The anticipation not only warmed my spirits but also made my blood boil.
As I stepped outside, the rain whipped against my face. It was uncomfortable, wet, and dark. The perfect embodiment of what I was feeling. A dark hunger raged in my stomach, one that could only be satisfied by one thing.
And I was about to claim it.
I moved through the trees with long strides, keeping my gaze fixed on the ground. The impressions of her shoes were already shallowly filling with rain. It was easy to follow them until moss covered the ground, forcing me instead to focus on the small branches swinging in the wind.
The rain had soaked through to my skin, but my senses were sharper than ever. The glow of her flashlight danced ahead of me through the trees. I closed in a few steps, but she didn't seem to be moving.
So I paused. Was this a trap? Amelia's attempt to spice up this extraordinary foreplay even more?
In a slight crouch, I moved past two more trees. More raindrops hammered down unhindered from above, clumping my hair to my head.
The dark scent of the forest filled my nostrils just as I got close enough to the beam of the flashlight to see that Amelia had wedged it between two branches.
That cunning vixen.
