Reacquainted

by Jenni


I had a dream last night

There was a man in my bedroom
Lurking in the drifting shadows
Cloaked in the darkness
Silent


He moved toward my bed
Yet I didn't cringe
I welcomed him with open arms
I welcomed him with sizzling desire

I could see him
Yet I couldn't
What was there to see?
A man who had a face that was not really a face

A face that was complete darkness
Complete light

A face that was nothing
Everything

He pulled me to him and immediately his lips fell to the well of my neck
His kisses were alluring
His kisses were magic
And a thought crossed my mind

I know this man

A man that filled me with passion personified
A man that was touching me as if there was no other No other woman who could possibly compare


As my night gown fell away
His nude form straddled me
I was writhing and moaning beneath him
And again I had the thought

I know this man

A smile crossed my face
A name escaped my lips

Scotty

The man circled the oval of my belly button with his quick wet tongue
His caresses were soft and penetrating
I was losing any balance I had
Any reason I had
Any decorum I had
And then I knew that the man was not Scotty
Scotty didn't touch me as this man did
He never could

I was so far down that I was the bottom
And I was so far up that I was the sky
And he was kneading my breasts
Insistent
Persistent
And I could feel the warmth of his skin against my skin
I dared to reach out
I dared to touch the man who was touching me

I pulled my hand down his broad hard chest
I was energized by the sweat that clung to my palm
And again I had the thought

I know this man

I know this body, this solid chest
This smell of male
The hard musk
A fragrance that was so intoxicating it could conceivably be my whole reason for living

A smile crossed my face
And a name escaped my lips

Luke

The man pinned my hands to my side
He held me down
His weight on top of me
Baring down
Making me feel the pressure
The heaviness of him
The heaviness of what we had


And he shifted to the side
His hands starting to roam over my flesh
Between my legs


And when he touched me
It was as if I were no longer solid
I was liquid
Fluid
His hands skimmed right through
And he caused ripples on my surface

Ripples that started from the middle and radiated out
But not just out
They went in
Down deep to my core
I felt things
Stirrings
He touched as if he knew

His hand was my hand
We were joined
Boundaries and borders
Crossed
Torn down
Burned
Burning
As I burned, now

And then I knew that the man was not Luke
Luke didn't know me as this man did
He never could

The man
The man of my dreams
Leaned forward to kiss me
And as he did, I felt the electric chill of metal
The golden legacy of his past
It hung from his neck
It swept through the air
To slip through the well between my breasts

It was a familiar sensation
Much like his kisses
Much like the feel of his restless tender hands
Much like everything about him
I was on the verge of remembrance
On my way to fitting the pieces of the puzzle

The man finally brought his lips to touch mine
I was lost at that moment
Spinning in a dazzling mist of brazen ecstasy
A kiss did that for me

Soft lips pressed
Tenderly
Possessively
Against my own
And a thought
The thought
crossed my mind once again

I know this man

This man who's ravaged all of my enigma
This man who made my inner secrets
Fantasies I had dared not think about
Desires I had dared not speak aloud
Into perfect glittering diamonds
Ensconced in a home of ruby-colored velvet
On display for a private audience only
An audience of two

Him
Me
This man
His love was solid
And he fit me with his love
Filled me with his love
Owned me with his love

At that moment
When I was already dizzy
Falling
Spiraling
Flying
Soaring
He took me somewhere mystical

I was completely lost to everything but need
My need
His need

I know this man

I know this man

I know this man

And then, when I thought there was nothing left
When there couldn't be anything in reserve
He pushed me to extremes
I was laughing
I was crying
I was praying
I was cursing

And most of all I was yelling
In passion
Ecstasy
Desire
Need
I had remembered what I had forgotten

I had discovered what was lost
Only it was not lost
It had been stolen
I had stolen him from myself

Thief that I am
That I would disturb what was beyond me to disturb
That I would ruin what was beyond me to ruin
That I would kill what was beyond me to kill


This man
This uninvited visitor
He used to be mine
And he could be again

I know this man

And I felt it coming
Hard and fast
A flutter in my familiar
I reached out to pull him forward
Down on me
Close to me

But I reached out into nothing
And I opened my eyes to see that the darkness had faded
The sun filled my room
I was alone
It was a dream

I sat up
Only fall back against the pillows

A smile crossed my face
And a name escaped my lips
