Wicked Whims

Bonded Souls

Written By Amber Callista

"Are you sure we should be up here, Ricki? Didn't your friend say upstairs was off limits?." I ask, squeezing his hand as he leads me down a narrow hallway.

Letting my eyes wander, I see a few other rooms, with green lights glowing under them like Mr. Boogedy is about to make an entrance. Although today is one of my favorite holidays, I would be lying if I said I didn't believe in things that go bump in the night. Just being around my Mormon parents my whole life was horrifying enough.

Ricki halts my thoughts as he stops in front of a door and looks over his shoulder at me. "Don't tell me you're afraid, Angelica. What's Halloween without a little thrill?" He smirks and opens the door, gesturing for me to walk in first.

Stepping through, my face is met with several strings of cobwebs, like a fleet of spiders occupies the room. Brushing the silk strings from my face, I glance around and feel an odd chill run up my spine. The room is lit with a single candle, revealing the pewter-colored walls. No other furniture except the mahogany-colored bed frame that sits in the middle of the room.

"Maybe we should go back to my dorm. My roommate is gone for the weekend." I offer, feeling creeped out at this moment.

Ricki shuts the door and walks toward me. The mischievous look in his eyes makes my heart race as he brushes my black and white hair away from my eyes. "Don't be afraid, my little dog napper. This is one pooch you can slay anytime you want." Ricki growls and brings his lips to my collarbone, trailing them up my neck.

"Did I mention how hot you look in that costume?"

"You may have mentioned that a few times tonight." I giggle as his fuzzy attire greets my cheeks from his kisses.

Tonight was this annual Halloween party hosted by his friend Preston and the theme was Disney. Cruella Deville being my favorite Disney character, I dressed as she and Ricki in a dalmatian costume. Surprisingly he wasn't the least bit upset by my choice of outfit and went along with it like a champ. Perhaps it's the fact that there's nothing to it as the black and red corset hugs my thick curves like a glove. The black booty shorts and fishnet tights accentuate my long legs like I'm a walking, talking sign that reads fuck me.

"Mmm..." I close my eyes and let his mouth bring me to the desirable world I love visiting whenever we're intimate. We haven't made our relationship official as we just met a few months ago, but we've been enjoying each other's company nearly every day.

One bat of an eyelash on that warm August day was all it took and I was hooked. Like a fishing rod, Ricki reeled me in and has been the eye of my affection since. From the curly locks that sit atop his head, his emerald green eyes, and muscular physique, what girl could resist? Seeing the sleeves of tattoos covering his arms and neck, I knew he had bad boy written all over him and that's exactly what I was looking for. A person who isn't afraid to live. Someone who's the complete opposite of the life I left behind.

Growing up with strict parents, I was never allowed to date so my virginity remains intact. This being my first year of college at Jamestown University in North Dakota, I had high hopes of changing that. It's almost like being here awoke this devil inside of me who was begging to break free. It pleads with me almost every day to repent for every godforsaken promise my parents forced me to utter.

"Is everything alright, Angie?" His fingers float across my cheeks as his eyes gaze at me softly. I can't help but feel those flutters disperse hearing him call me Angie instead of Angel. The heavenly nickname is one I happen to hate and without words, it's like he knows my deepest, darkest secrets.

Pulling down his spotted hood, I run my fingers through his raven locks. "I'm great! Perhaps feeling a little tipsy from all those witches' brew drinks your friend's girlfriend made. Honestly, it looked like Peter Venkman poured ectoplasm in them so I tried to choke them down as fast as possible. That girl would not take no for an answer."
