Pulse (3 page)

“We’re… back where we started. This is just the back of the club.”

“That’s very observant of you, Natasha.”

“Right. So, why did we walk all the way around? If you wanted to take me back here, why not just take me back here?”

“I couldn’t risk anybody seeing us.”

For a split-second, I thought it was strange that he didn’t want anybody to see us. Then it hit me. I looked into his eyes and felt something devilish come over me.

“And why wouldn’t you want anybody to see you take me back here?” I asked him with a grin on my face.

“I’m not interested in giving the public a show.”

“A show? My, you have a way with putting things. You don’t think I’m actually going to do anything back here, do you?”

The alley was far from perfect. I could feel the night air beginning to grow colder. There were sounds of stray cats lurking in the darkness. At least, I hope they were just cats. There was a smell coming from the dumpster that I didn’t care to think about. And it was so dim that I could barely make out how good-looking he was.

I wasn’t in any position to complain. At least, not yet. He started to advance on me. I slowly backed myself up against the wall of the building. I could feel the music thumping through the concrete and vibrating my body. Through the darkness, I could see the whites in his mouth grinning at me as he took a step closer. I pushed my hand up against his chest and was taken aback at how firm it was. As I massaged the muscles of his chest in the palm of my hand, I raised my other hand and shook my finger at him.

“Now, now,” I said. “You don’t really expect a lady like me to do anything here in this alley now?”

“You’re not a lady,” he replied. “And I’m not a gentleman. We’re just two people looking for a good time.”

He took a step closer to me, folding my arm against my body. As he leaned in close, the smell from the dumpster was replaced by his aroma. His scent lingered in my nostrils and I felt something burning in my body and flushing down between my legs. His face leaned in closer to mine. His breath was upon my lips.

“No more games, no more small talk,” he whispered. “Just some quick… dirty… fun… Nothing more.”

“I suppose I can agree—Mmm!”

His lips pressed against mine. My entire body felt like it melted. Luckily, I was sandwiched between him and the building to avoid falling down. I could feel my knees buckling as he kissed me, the taste of alcohol on his tongue so sweet. My eyelids shut. I reached up with both arms and wrapped them around him. He pushed his entire body against me as I pulled him in. The rigidness of his physique made me moan into his mouth. My mind was growing numb to everything else. All of my senses began to consume me.

He reached down with both of his hands and grabbed my shirt. He lifted my shirt up just underneath my breasts. The cold night air sent a rush through my body as it blew across my flesh. I sighed a deep breath of bliss into his mouth. The way he worked every inch of his body was magnificent.

His tongue danced inside of his mouth. Our lips smacked and echoed in the air. My heart beat faster. My breathing quickened. The groans of ecstasy were lost between his lips. I didn’t mind the feeling of the bricks digging into my back. His palms were caressing my skin in a way that made me forget about it.

He slowly began to work his hands up my body. My shirt rose along with it. He pushed my shirt over my breasts. Even though I was wearing a bra, I still felt exposed. It was dark in the alley but not dark enough to conceal us completely.

“Someone… someone will see,” I moaned. “I… I can’t…”

“You can’t or you won’t?”

He didn’t stop kissing me. His lips were casting a spell upon me. There was no point in trying to stop him. I wasn’t drunk though. There was still a part of me that was pointlessly trying to reason with him.

He lowered his head down and buried his face between my breasts. As he nuzzled his face in my chest, I wrapped my arms around his neck to bring him closer. I groaned as he kissed the soft flesh. He reached up with one of his hands and lowered one cup. My breast popped out. My nipple stiffened from the cold night air. Another moan escaped my lips as he took it into his mouth. He sucked on it and it seemed to grow even harder. With his spit upon my swollen flesh, he gently nibbled on it with his lips before pulling his mouth away. He blew gently upon my nipple. I shuddered and felt the goose bumps cover my body.

“Don’t stop,” I groaned.

I ran my fingers through his hair to encourage him to continue. I massaged the back of his scalp as he took my breast back into his mouth. I could only imagine what it looked like at this point. I had never done anything like this before. Even though we were alone, there was more than one way to get in this alley. There was no door to lock or window to seal. Anybody could stumble upon us.

He worked his way back up toward my face. He lowered his hands down my body, slowly massaging the flesh of my waist before digging into the sides of my jeans. He reached for my panties and pulled them tight up against me. He was pulling so hard that they were up against my stomach. I looked down and saw my panties being pulled out from my jeans. I couldn’t protest though. My mouth was hanging open from the unexpected pleasure I was feeling. My panties were rising up inside of my ass and on the other side, they were rubbing against my clitoris.

He released my panties with a snap then dug his hand into my jeans. The disappointment I felt from no longer having my clit rubbed went away quickly as his fingers found my sweet spot. He worked his middle finger and swirled it around. My clit swelled just like my nipple did in his mouth. I braced myself up against the wall.

I was barely coherent enough to open my eyes. When I did, I saw him staring back at me with a carnal focus. I was panting and trying to take in all of the feeling he was giving me. My legs squeezed together. I could feel the wetness building up inside of my panties. I wanted him. He knew it. There wasn’t anything that was going to stop me.

I decided to return the favor. I reached between his legs and searched for his thickness. I forced a weak grin onto my face as I stared back at him. When I finally found his cock, I was surprised at the size of it. I didn’t know what I was expecting but I knew that it would be more than enough. I smiled at him as I started to stroke him through his jeans.

We stopped kissing and focused solely on pleasuring one another. With his hand digging into my panties, he worked his hand up against my clit. I started to unbuckle his belt. I didn’t want to wait any longer and quickly grew tired of holding him through his jeans. I reached into his boxers. I could almost feel his body shaking with anticipation. I was just as excited as he was. I grabbed his cock in my hand and suddenly the back door of the building swung open.

“Oh shit!”

I immediately dropped his cock from my hand. I pulled my hand back and he did the same. I straightened my shirt back down over the rest of my body then readjusted my bra underneath. Someone walked out of the club holding two garbage bags. As the man headed toward the dumpster, James leaned up against the wall next to me and tried to act as casual as possible. My heart was still racing. I did my best to control my breathing. The desire I had inside of me just moments before was still burning.

The man started to walk back into the club when he noticed us standing there. We tried to remain as nonchalant as possible but I could imagine how ridiculous we looked.

“What are you two doing back here?” the man said to us.

“Nothing,” James replied. “We’re just hanging out.”

“Just hanging out, huh?”

“That’s right. Are we not allowed to be here?”

“As long as you’re not doing anything funny.”

“We wouldn’t think of it.”

“Yeah, I’m sure you wouldn’t. You know we have cameras here, right? We could just check the security tapes.”

“Is that so?”

“I suggest you two get out of here before security makes you.”

“That’s probably a good idea.”

James took my hand in his and we rushed away from the alley. When we got back onto the sidewalk and out of range from the man who just lectured us, I couldn’t help but giggle.

“Oh my God!” I gushed. “He almost caught us!”

“He did catch us,” James smiled. “I think we’re on tape.”

“You think they can see our faces clearly on those things?”

“Who knows? But does it matter? Was it worth it?”

He grinned at me. I bit my lip and stared back at him.

“I don’t know,” I said. “We didn’t get very far… The night is still young. You’re going to finish what you started, aren’t you?”

I grabbed his other hand. Holding both of his hands, I tried to pull him in closer to me. He began to look around to see if anybody was watching. Several people passed us by but they seemed to be minding their own business.

“Maybe it’s a sign,” he said. “Maybe tonight just isn’t our night.”

“…What?”

“There will be other nights. What do you say we take our chances then?”

“Wait, you’re serious? You don’t want to go all the way tonight?”

“Is that all I am? Just some fling for you to have some fun with?”

“Well… Yeah. I mean we don’t have to use the alley…”

I chuckled at him and he started to do the same. This had never happened before. We were in the middle of something and all of a sudden he was turning me down just because we got caught.

What kind of game is this guy playing?

“Am I going to see you again?” I asked him.

“Does it matter?”

“Of course. I thought you said you wanted to fuck a Natasha.”

“I do. Do you know one?”

He smirked at me and I began to laugh. His hands slowly dropped out of mine. He leaned in close to me and kissed me on the lips. I was immediately reminded of what it felt like in the alley just moments ago. I didn’t want to let him go. At least not without getting what I wanted from him.

“Maybe I’ll see you around,” he said.

“Wait. You’re just going to leave me here?”

“Isn’t your friend waiting for you?”

“Well, yeah, she is. But—”

“Then I suggest you should go check on her.”

He slowly began to back away. I stood there dumbfounded. He winked at me then turned away from me. I watched him disappear down the street. Not only did I not get what I wanted from him, I still had no clue who he was. None of it made any sense. But instead of trying to figure it out, I headed back into the club in search of my friend and another man who could satisfy the fire started by a man I called James.

Chapter 4

My head wasn’t throbbing as much as I thought it would. When I finally opened my eyes, I found myself alone in my bed. I drank more than I thought I would but the memory of last night was still clear in my head. It was already late in the afternoon and the sun was high in the sky. When I finally regained my senses, the most vivid memory from last night returned to me.

I didn’t know who he was.
James
—or whatever his name might be—ran off on me without giving me a chance to get to know him better. I didn’t even get to know him in the way my body was craving. When I got back inside of the club, I was too disappointed to hook-up with any of the scraps remaining. Danica had more fun than I did.

Who was that guy?

I was still intrigued. It wasn’t just because I was so attracted to him. The mystery surrounding his identity was bothering me just as much. I sighed and shoved myself out of bed. I decided that now wasn’t the time to think any longer about the man who almost fucked me in a back alley.

I took a shower to wash away the filth of a night at the club then drank a lot of water to try and rehydrate myself. The hangover I was experiencing wasn’t as bad as it could have been. I still had work to do today but thankfully, I wouldn’t have to dress up to do it.

I plopped myself down in front of my computer and looked over all of my information. Now that I was finally graduating, I didn’t want to waste any time in taking the next step. I made sure that all of my credentials were correct as I typed out my resume. There were dozens of jobs available to me and I would be happy to take any of them. Now it was just a matter of convincing someone to hire me.

Most of my studying was in business and market analysis. I figured that the best paying jobs were the ones that involved money directly. Ideally, I would find myself making important decisions for a company when it came to making investments and spending money. Of course, I knew that I wouldn’t just be handed some job just because I had a college degree. I was prepared to work my way to the top and I was starting as soon as possible.

Despite the task, it was a lazy Friday morning. It was rare that I had this opportunity to myself. Usually I was in class, attending some lecture or studying for an exam. I was free to spend this time however I wanted. After taking an early night out to myself, I figured it was only fair to get some work done during the day. As I typed away at computer, I heard a knock at my door. I wasn’t expecting anybody. I tried to ignore it but there was another knock.

“Alice, are you home? Open up.”

I sighed as I got up out of my chair. I opened the door and was surprised to see my entire family standing there.

“Alice!” my mom exclaimed. “It’s so great to see you!”

“Mom? What are you doing here?”

“What do you mean?” she asked as she hugged me. “We got your message. We know that your graduation is this weekend. You think we’d miss it?”

“No… It’s just that I didn’t expect you to be in town so soon.”

“It’s only a couple of days,” my dad joined in. “We’ll be gone before you know it. Don’t worry. We got a hotel room. We have a place to stay.”

“You didn’t have to—”

“Are we interrupting something?” he asked.

“No. No, it’s fine.”

“We wouldn’t have stopped by if you’d answered your phone. How come you didn’t pick up?”

“I guess… I was busy, that’s all.”

I forgot about checking my phone. After spending a night out on the town, the last thing I needed to do was try to get in touch with people. I was usually too drunk or hungover to do anything else.
