Arnaathâs smile is slow and disarming. My old friend is big and built for strength and his reflexes havenât dulled with age. In the blink of an eye, he hauls me against his naked chest and squeezes the soft globes of my arse.
When my feet leave the ground I wrap my arms around his head, inadvertently burying his face in my cleavage. âDonât you dare!â I say. Well, squeal is a more apt description. The unnaturally high pitch of my voice makes me wince.
âOr what?â His deep voice is muffled by my flesh and itâs a good thing he probably doesnât need to breathe. At least, I really hope he doesnât need to breathe because I have no intention of letting go until my feet are on solid ground again.
âOr Iâll⦠umâ¦.â Iâm shaking, my bravado banished in the face of my greatest fear. âPlease put me down.â
But even after I feel the roof beneath my feet, I find I am sufficiently freaked out, to the point I canât seem to loosen my grip on Arnaathâs head, and itâs only when he pries me off him that Iâm able to take a step back.
And he immediately grabs me again. âCareful!â
Glancing over my shoulder, I realise I was about back into the parapet that edges the flat portion of the roof. Itâs not particularly tall and easy to trip over. Believe me, I know.
A whimper escapes me and I find myself wrapped in Arnaathâs arms again. âIâve got you, little mason. I wonât let you fall again.â
His body is so warm, his skin so soft. But how? Heâs made of stone. How the hell is any of this possible? Maybe I really am crazy. Maybe this is all just a figment of my imagination and Iâm actually just a lunatic hugging an inanimate sculpture on the roof of my childhood home. But as he hugs me tighter and my breasts and belly squash against the press of his hard, muscular chest, I figure this ainât so bad. Especially when I feel what Iâm hoping is his cock dig into my thigh.
As figments of my imagination go, this one is pretty freaking awesome.
âYouâre shaking like a leaf,â he murmurs by my ear. âMay I suggest we climb down from here?â
I donât refuse, and allow him to lead me down the narrow staircase that heads to the back door of the cottage.
My house is an odd one. Originally built as a church over a hundred years ago, and designed to look like a small castle, it was an interesting place to grow up, what with the backyard full of dead people and all. And yeah, before you run away thinking, âWeird-O!â let me just say that being normal isnât something Iâve often been accused of.
I know Iâm strange, okay?
I am very aware of that fact.
I was reminded of it every other day of my life growing up until finally, one day, I simply accepted I was âthatâ girl. I was the weird girl
