Welcome to my World

won't you come on in ?

..I'll be waiting there
with my arms unfurled
waiting .. just for

you

Welcome to MY world

"Fonce"

Her breath was cool against my ear .. seeming familiar but I could not place it.

"Fonce .. I miss you."

"Miss me? I am right here." Grumbling I rolled around in the furs trying to drag myself from the vestiges of sleep that seemed to cling to me with fevered fingers.

"Fonce .. I miss you.

I sat up .. black gaze peeling back the shadows that surrounded me .. searching. Fighting my way out of the tangle of furs. The failing coals barely flickered in the fire pit. The stars were bright above me. The herd slept not far off .. their heavy breathing soothing.. things seemed in order.

Cue my typical response to such things .. "What then do you miss about me?"

"I miss watching you .. the way you move ... the sight of you takes my breath away."

I frowned .. sounded like a load of boskshit to me. Women say the strangest things. Something flickered through my memory .. an irritation. But I was not sure if this was irritation for her in particular or women in general.

"I miss your touch. I miss the way you touch me."

"Come closer .. I will refresh your memory." Dry.

Her soft laughter gave away the fact she knew me better than to come any closer.

Figures.

I drew my frame into a cross legged posture and leaned to stir the coals .. shoving some dry chips in to feed them ... jerking a heavy fur up around my shoulders to ward off the night's chill. If you are going to get disturbed and forced to entertain a memory in the middle of the night .. no reason not to be comfortable while you do so.

"What in the hell do you want from me?" I let some of my temper peek through. I was tired.

"I am trapped. In the words. Help me please."

There were sudden flashes .. pictures ... my hands exploring the full curve of feminine hip .. swell of heavy breasts.

My fingers tangled in written sentences like chains .. holding ... trapping.

I jerked my hands back but .. there was nothing there. I swore. Consigned my dreams to the soil and maggots and rolled up my bed throwing pack and saddle on a startled Kai who was about as pleased as I was to be awake and moving again.

I shivered in my thick quilted jacket. They were back were they? But this was MY world. I was in control again. I was ready .. I had a surprise for them.

Right.

Just as soon as I shook off the bone chilling fear that the feel of those chains had given me.

Fucking dreams.
