I wore no blindfold. My eyes were open. But I saw nothing.

“I know lots of people are scared of the dark,” I heard my tist say. “But clearly you’re not. Especially not when I’m here with you.”

I took a deep breath.

“Did you ever play Kingdom Hearts?”

I snorted.

“No no, bear with me!” they said. “In those games, darkness is a corrupting force. Something delicious, and tempting.”

I smiled, sensing where they were going.

“And the nice thing about it is, while it clouds one of your senses, it sharpens the others.”

I felt their fingers graze the inside of my elbow. I gave a small, sensual gasp.

“So alluring, isn’t it? Nothing to be afraid of.”

I felt them close into my ear.

“Just embrace it,” they whispered into it. “Just as they can bring fear, the shadows bring lust. Longing. Ssssensual.”

Their fingers had gracefully moved over my chest, my wrists, my thighs. They felt so good. I could barely tell if they were even touching, but I could sense their presence teasing my senses.

“And just as you’re susceptible to my touch,” they purred, “You also grow susceptible to my words, don’t you?”

I felt my eyes close; not that it mattered. As they sensually teased my body, I was honed into their every action and every command.

“That’s it. That’s right. Just sink into the darkness for me. Let it consume you and control you. Dream of darkness… Long for darkness…”

Dream of darkness… long for darkness…
