well, but to no avail. It just kept coming back!
It was just there to mock my struggles and tell me the temperature
I should be
feeling, but wasn't.
    Fucker.
    Limbs scampered along down the
hall. Whatever it was it was, was fast . But I would catch it
soon.
    Clink clink clink!
    The chains trailing behind it smacked the walls,
finally explaining the noises I had been hearing.
    I was closing in. Almost there... Just a little more
reach... And....
    Got it!
    I jerked back with all my strength and planted my
heels into the floor.
    A choked gasp escaped it and the chain went slack,
causing me to lose balance and fall flat on my back.
    The hallway curved sharply left
and I couldn ’ t
see around it so I had no idea what it was doing. Still stunned, I
began crawling in its direction. After about five crawl-steps I
could see its feet from around the bend. Human feet. That was a
relief at least. Toes curling and uncurling almost in sync with the
pulsing light. Long slender legs grew from its feet as I continued
around the hall. They were pale, not like someone who hadn't gotten
a tan but a sick pale. Like someone's face right before they
vomited.
    I finally had you.
    No more would you scamper about and torment me. No
more would your chains smack my walls as you scampered, keeping any
wink of sleep from my eyes. You were mine now.
    I noticed it was a woman's figure
now. The slender legs ended in a shapely ass, covered only by a
pair of white cotton panties. Her body contoured along the bend
from the hallway. Chains indeed bound her and she was slowing down,
taking ragged breaths. I moved ever so slowly not wanting to
startle and panic whoever or whatever it was. But when I saw the
face I —
     
    — Stood rooted to the landing on
the staircase, unsure of whether I should proceed. The knocked over
lamp was a bad omen. A definite tell-tale sign that something was wrong.
Very wrong.
    I told you not to go...
    And you gave me no reason! I retorted back to
myself.
    I looked down at the steps in front of me and back
up the stairs. She might be hurt, I had to see for myself.
    One foot in front of the other, one step at a time I
made my way up the stairs.
     
    Our breathing was heavy. Limbs wrapped around each
other, I couldn't keep track of whose was whose. She grasped my
face and pulled me to her mouth, forcing my willing lips to meet
her own. She pulled at me so hard that it hurt, her teeth sunk and
dug into my lips. The room was hot like the night before, thick
with the scent of sweat and sex. I could spend the rest of my life
in this moment. Her legs rose up, wrapped and constricted around
me, pulling me deeper and deeper.
    She shoved her hand into my
shoulder and flipped me onto my back — all
the while keeping me inside of her — and in
one fluid motion straddl ed me, thrusting her hips
back and forth.
    She threw her head back, grabbing my hands and
leading them to her breasts. A sigh of ecstasy flowed from my lips
to her ears. Encouraged by my pleasure, she moved faster. I was
about to burst, I pulled out and rolled out from under her, those
chocolate eyes peering into mine.
    “ Get back in, ” she said with a coy grin.
    I didn't hesitate. I pushed back inside of her
slowly and gently. Her eyes closed and she moved her hands up from
her hips, squeezing her breasts.
     
    With dread in the pit of my stomach I set my foot at
the top of the staircase and with a final glance at the lamp, I
knew I should turn back. I wasn't going to want to see whatever it
was that awaited me.
     
    She was near climax, moaning at the verge of orgasm.
She clawed at the sheets, mouth parting ever so slightly. I plunged
into her harder and her cries of pleasure let me know she
appreciated it.
     
    There was one light on, coming
from the master bedroom. Her bedroom. The door was parted,
allowing a thin ray of light to fall upon the floor. Shadows moved
across the ray and I could hear noise, like the bed was rocking
back and forth.
     
    Harder and harder I
