7 Sins Saga: Lust

Lust
April 30, 2007

With a glance to the side, he followed her.

He had spotted her a few hours back, perched on a barstool like a trophy on a pedestal. Her dress had hugged her curves seductively, her eyes were bright and full of life, but she sat alone, as if no one else could see her.

So he had followed her as she left the bar. His eyes were full of longing.

He ducked into an alley as she turned. That was close... He watched as her perfect gaze spanned the streets. Satisified she was alone, she continued with her mincing gait. And behind her, like an ill shadow, he followed.

She turned into an alleyway, slightly off the beaten path. Surprised, he quickly rounded the corner-

To find her staring straight at him with a slight smirk. He began to sweat as her hand moved towards her waist, expecting her to pull a can of pepper spray, or perhaps a cell phone to call the cops.

She looked at him, with the smile dangling off her lips. Her hand strayed unexpectedly, aiming towards her belt clasp rather than her pocket. He drooled as the click of her buckle undid itself. She let her pants fall.

Without a word, she beckoned. He complied willingly. Her body was warm in the night air, but she made not a sound as he took her. Her body was responsive, moving fast and hard, but no one came across them, no one heard a sound.

In his lust, he rolled them both to the ground. Twisting and turning, they were lost in each other. His mind swirled as they spun round and round, into the street, onto the open road. There they lay, linked together, with looks of ecstasy on both their faces.

He looked down at her, her closed eyes and open mouth displaying the pleasure she obviously felt. And as he watched, the skin began to peel from her face, the sweet eyes receding into the sockets, and the lips crackling away like dry leaves.

"That was fun," she said in a hoarse, crackled whisper.

He gibbered, his mouth frozen in horror. He tried to pull away but found, to his sheer terror, he could not.

"And here I was, so hoping you'd pass the test." The skull-face grinned up at him, the long bony fingers wrapping around his arms. "But I do hope you enjoyed your last moments."

He turned as the honk and headlights bore down on him. He screamed.
