His hand touched the skin on her chest, it was cool
underneath his fingers and still damp from being rinsed. In the harsh neon
stripped light it gave her skin an almost blue white alabaster look, somewhere
akin to chalk. However, it was soft and it gave him the usual physical reaction;
he traced his fingertips in feather like concentric circles around her nipple,
delighting at the sensation.
Richard loved this moment. A snap shot in time where there
was nothing but him and her; an intimate connection. His helium filled body would float
through the moment as he looked down on it from another place. To some this
dislocation of the self from the moment or the action would be worrying but to
Richard it was what made that instant in time. Everything slowed down and he
felt calm and lost in happiness.
Bending down, he placed his mouth near her nipple and breathed.
There was no perceptible scent other than soap, that fresh clean skin scent that
reminded him of purity and innocence. He
observed a mole above and to the left of her aroela; that would be the target
of his kiss. The freckle contrasted with her skin highlighting the cool
marbleness of it; it was an invitation.
Lips touched her, leaving a wet footprint of affection and lust.
There was no reaction, she was deathly still. Looking up at her face and
contemplating whether or not to worry her nipple, he decided against it.
Drawing himself upright and adjusting his hardness, reality
snapped back into place with a ping. No internal lightness as his feet remained
leaden like, planted to the floor. His heart sank, he did not like this
feeling, he liked the moment; naturally, it was why he did it.
Flicking the sheet over, to cover the corpse once more he
pushed her back into the refrigerated locker. He was looking forward to doing
her autopsy.
*Author's note:
I have just come back from Eroticon 2013 and had an amazing time. I was inspired by the session by @Remittencegirl who encouraged all of us to explore the darker side of our imagination, to set it free. Even before going to this year's Eroticon I was told that my erotica can be 'challenging'. I enjoy this. I enjoy that I have caused you to squirm. I take pleasure and pride in knowing that you found this sick piece of necrophilia sexy; if is is any consolation it completely squicked me out and I wrote it, it still makes me shudder just thinking about it. @Remittencegirl suggested that we have regressed in what society will accept about our sexuality and the exploring of it; from the defiant and ground breaking 120 Days of Sodomy by the Marquis de Sade to the pulp of 50 Shades of Grey by EL James. 300 years separate these scribings. So here I am, looking you in the eye, I am going to fucking reclaim erotica, I am going to take you places that will excite and thrill you, that will test your inner self about what you think is sexy, I will turn you on in ways that you have not imagined previously. The gauntlet has been thrown and I accept the challenge!
I had a feeling where it was going when you described her skin.. hoped it wasn't but feared it was. That is one thing that has always dumbfounded me, the ultimate control I guess one could say. One is left to wonder how a person gets to that point. What trauma led them to choose the dead over the living.
ReplyDeleteIt is a sick, nasty, sexy story that popped into my head unbidden and complete in nature. Why is that person damaged? I think that is the premise for a book.
DeleteI have a very dark side that does not come out very often and what you have written here is something that excites and repulses me..... is that sick or perverted - probably - do I worry - not a bit as it is a part of me and it is up to me to control what I wish to react to and how I wish to react to it!
ReplyDeleteWonderfully written.
~Mia~ xx
Thank you very much.
DeleteRachel x
Ew. But masterfully written. But ew. And I had a feeling it was going there based on the description as well.
ReplyDeleteIt really did make me shudder. The ending eeewwww!
DeleteRachel x
Nicely done...not a subject I think I would try to pull off, but bravo.
ReplyDeleteStranded
I thin that there may be more challenging subjects in the future...as well as the usual sexy ones.
DeleteRachel x
Beautifully written but not a place I like to go to at all, particularly this time of year.

Not a place I wanted to go but it popped into my head a complete story.
DeleteRachel x
Go you. I also came away from RG's sessions determined to explore the dark recesses of the erotic further but wow, this is one seriously brave start. I can't say I was turned on by the thought of the act at all but the concept that there is eroticism in death is certainly something I acknowledge.
ReplyDeleteMollyxxx
I can safely say that it utterly squicked me out! I still shudder about the connotations of the ending. Blerugh!
DeleteRachel x
beautifully written, I love the dark forbidden reality of the mind that hides just under the soft pink hues of pleasant humanity. excellent write
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully crafted reply. Thank you so much.
DeleteRachel x
Oh sweet Jesus Christ… THAT's what I'm talking about. This is fucking exquisite. Made my skin tingle.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! You know it! *nodding*
DeleteRachel x
I too went euuwww but at the same time admire what you have done here. Well done for being so brave to immediately apply what you have learned at Eroticon :)

DeleteI could not help but smile as I read this. I just knew you'd sink your teeth in. I've seen & heard the determination.
ReplyDeleteTo challenge is to open minds.. even if it is not to everyone's taste. Of course you do not know if you are truly repulsed or turned on by something unless you try it/read it for yourself.
So utterly proud of you for jumping in, challenging yourself & others.
I cannot wait to read your work over the year ahead.

Pea,
DeleteYou are wonderful and your influence on my writing continues unabated.

Your willingness and ability to push those boundaries so far, work amazing for you. I loved this piece, no matter how much it unsettled my stomach too.
ReplyDeleteNicely written - as always. I thought you were exploring a ghostly theme at first. Nice exploration of the darker recesses of your imagination.
ReplyDeleteI am delighted to throw you off balance.
DeleteRachel x
That caught me by surprise! I had to go back and re-read, and then I caught the clues in your words. Beautifully written. Exquisite, dark, and erotic.
ReplyDeletexx Dee
Dee, I like surprising you.
DeleteRachel x
I LOVE the darkside and have posted a couple of squick stories on my blog. Thank you for posting this, it is nice not to feel so odd, although the stuff I write does actually turn me on.
ReplyDeleteI love your writing style and I love that you push limits.
Wow, thank you for saying so. I live on the edge of just about everything I do so it is only natural that I find the edge and write about that too.
DeleteRachel x
well done on challenging yourself. Hurrah!
