Last Summer
“The air cools my skin, and the view from up here isn’t all that bad.
Crickets chirp loudly, frogs croak by the lake, and the summer nights have a spicy scent to them, like Mother Nature herself has sprayed the atmosphere with a sensual perfume.
A twig snaps, and I jerk my head toward the direction of the sound. Out of the shadows hobbles a figure. When the moonlight frames his body, I know exactly who it is.
“Where have you—” I start, but then I see his face. Dark blue and purple splotches cove...r his eyes and jaw line, and his eyes are swollen so much, they’re almost shut. “Are you okay?”
Motioning for him to climb up so we can talk, he ascends the lattice and slides through my window. Before I can open my mouth to ask what’s happened, he crushes me against the wall, his lips finding mine in the dark. He tastes like salt and blood, but there’s also a sweetness that follows. Both of his hands grab my face, as if he’s afraid I’ll pull away. As if he wants to siphon the very air from my lungs because it’s what he needs to survive, because the atmosphere around us is too electrically charged to breathe normally.MoreLess
