Lifting the top over her head and letting him remove her bra, she was burning up, with his shirt now removed and exposing his small frame, they knelt before one another as he removed his glasses before enveloping in a tirade of sweet kisses and subtle touches. She traced a scar on his chest with her finger and wondered briefly what had caused it. Undoing each others trousers, she became aware that they were going to make love there and then and she wanted it so bad. Now totally naked they explored each others bodies with their hands before she laid back and made way for him to enter her.
She had only ever been with two men before, both were serious relationships and she had always felt a little discomfort with the first thrust but when Barry slowly entered her, all she felt was an urge to suck him in further, and when she did her whole world shock. No discomfort, even though he was larger than the others, just electricity running through every nerve ending in her body.
He was so tender and caring, not like the rest who rammed it in and thought nothing of her enjoyment. He really cared and although not one word was muttered between them, she was aware that he was watching to make sure she was enjoying as much as him. His lips didn’t leave hers through out the whole event and his hands slowly stroked different areas of her whilst she wrapped her legs around him to pull him closer and held him gently in her arms. They cum together with him ejaculating inside of her.
They lay there in the blackened room panting and holding each other close. The thought of what her parents would say about her sleeping with someone the same age as them ran through her mind and the thought of what would happen if they become an item, would she still fancy him in 10 years time? Of course she would, it wasn’t his looks that she was attracted to in the first place, it was him as a person - so what if he had a wrinkle or two? He looked younger than he really was anyway.
She felt him push himself off her and noticed that there was something different about him, his eyes were odd, she stared at them and suddenly realised they were blank. He just stared back at her as she whispered his name and reached out to touch his face and brushed her hand over his small beard. He was cold and blank; she felt herself beginning to feel vulnerable and shuffled backwards away from him, not taking her eyes away from his. Then he disappeared, just like the figure they witnessed together, disappeared into thin air.
She sat there shaking and hugging her knees to her chest, trying to come to terms with what had happened, it hadn't had been Barry, it couldn't have been. She begun to wonder if it really did happen but the semen around her genitals and the taste of him in her mouth assured her that it had. Standing up, she quickly dressed and sat on the stool with her head in her hands waiting for the tears to start but they didn’t.
"Kate, coming down for a cuppa?" came Lee's voice from the floor below.
"Where is Barry?" she yelled back, trying to sound as normal as she could.
"With John in the play room"
"How long has he been there?"
"I don’t know, twenty minutes or so, why?"
"No reason, look, um, can you ask him to come up here for a sec?"
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I just want to see him for a moment, that’s all."
She heard Lee call Barry and tell him he was wanted. He started climbing the stairs and she listened to check he was alone. As he entered the annex, she felt sick and didn’t know what to do. What should she tell him? She was worried if she didn’t tell him everything he wouldn’t be able to analyse it properly and the possibility of the research being a break through would be wasted, yet she couldn’t bring herself to say that she had just had sex with who she thought was him but then he disappeared, he would think she was mad.
"Alright, Kate?"
"Listen Barry, something weird just happened and I don’t know what but fucking hell, I think I'm loosing it and.." he stopped her in her tracks.
"Hey, hey, hey, okay calm down. Now tell me slowly, what happened"
"I can’t. I mean, you'll think I'm mad and oh for fuck sake!"
He walked to her and placed his hand on her shoulder, "come on, you know you can tell me, it's me for god sake - I've experienced a lot. Now come on."
"Okay but promise me this wont go any further, I’m trusting you. I don’t want anyone but you and me to know."
"Of course, now just relax and tell me everything."
She stood up and couldn’t get the fact that a few minutes earlier she was making love with someone or thing she thought was this man and now here he was asking her to explain what had happened. She didn’t even know herself what had happened, had she had sex with a ghost? Did she hallucinate? Was she knocked on conscious, raped and then woke up thinking she had had fantastic sex with Barry?
"If you knew, you would understand."
"Well I’m not going to know if you don’t tell me, Kate." He stepped closer and put his arm around her shoulders, she felt her nerve endings start to tingle.
"I thought it was you, I'm sure you come in here and sat there on the floor and tried with me to hold a séance. It was you; it looked, sounded and felt like you."
"Okay, now come on, when was this?"
"About half an hour or so ago. A figure appeared there" She pointed to the right of the door and continued "and you held me as I was scared and then we..."
"We what?"
"You, I mean we, we had sex but then your eyes, they were blank and you, I mean it went cold and you disappeared."
"You're telling me that you saw me here and we had sex and then I disappeared?"
She felt stupid yet angry and suddenly began to cry as she muttered "you even came in me"
Falling to her knees, she felt as though she had no energy left.
"What? You mean it actually ejaculated and you have it with you?"
"Yeah, I thought it was you"
He held her tightly and rocked her slowly to comfort her.
"I know you probably don’t want to hear this now and I understand that but if you think we could check you for any traces of you know. Was the camera filming?"
"It was but it was facing over to the left, but we could check it. I don’t want anyone to know about this, if you want to check me, it will have to be only you, I want no one else to know."
"There is nothing to be ashamed of, this is not as uncommon as you think, it has happened before, hey, so you actually had sex with me did you?"
Kate was aware that he was trying to comfort her and did let out a giggle, it was so unlike Barry to crack a joke, he wasn't exactly what you would call a peoples person. "I did, yeah."
"We'll need to get you somewhere where we can lock ourselves in and there is light. I know, the bathroom. Come on."
He grabbed her hand and led her out of the room as he asked her about the figure that appeared in the room. Once at the bathroom, he locked the door and asked her if she was sure that she didn’t want Sophie to check her over.
"No, I don’t want anyone else knowing; besides I let you see my insides earlier."
After she said it, she regretted it; it made it sound as this was all a ploy to get him alone.
"Listen, I’m sorry, I am just, well embarrassed and I only trust you."
"Hey its okay. Right where do you want to start, where did it touch you?"
"Everywhere, we were naked, hang on, you had a curved scar on your chest above your left nipple, and I touched it."
He stared at her, frowning and lifted his shirt up to expose his chest, it was exactly how she remembered, small, a little hair and the scar.
"It was you, it had to be."
"I was with the boys, my god, listen, we need to get that, you know, analysed."
"I know. Will my knickers alone work, there is some on them."
"Yeah, did he mark you at all?"
"I don’t know I'll need to check."
She began to take her clothes off, slowly and hesitantly. She knew it had to be done and she trusted no one like she trusted Barry.
