Nomads

"I want her, the one with red trench coat… Asia Dee." The man in the black Mercedes Benz demanded as he rolled down the window.  My head automatically snapped in his direction as I heard my street name called, causing me to tighten the straps on my jacket as I walked towards the car.  The late November winds of Toronto brought chills to my bare legs making me shiver slightly. 

"What do you want?" I questioned with my usual attitude, leaning in the car window, as I flipped my curly brown hair.  I continued staring at the man, noticing he was not a regular around these streets.  I was really curious of how he knew my name, being that I remembered about every man I have slept with in the past few years.  

"You." He replied with an angelic like voice, followed by a smirk.  Chills running up my spine-- though this time it wasn't the weather.  I tried my best to keep my hard to get personality going, but as he continuously stared at me with his mysterious chocolate brown eyes, I felt weak in the knees. "Come in." He instructed, leaning over the armrest as he opened the passenger door for me.   I stepped inside of the car, before closing the door behind me.

I felt uncomfortable the entire car ride, being that not a single word was exchanged between the two of us.  He kept his eyes glued to the road, as I found more excitement in the passing cars outside.  The radio wasn't even playing a tune as we sat in silence. 

"You smoke?" He asked in a charismatic tone, placing his hand on my bare knee.  I shuddered at his icy touch, nodding as he glanced at me the first time since I entered the car.  "Don't worry, I'm not gonna bite you. . . . Unless you want me too." He added with a small chuckle, gazing in my direction every now and then.

I looked over at the man beside me and saw something in him that wasn't like the other men I have just had sex with for money.  Something in him that just changed my views on him, and my whole demeanor.  I tried pushing away the foreign feeling brewing inside of me, but as if it was a boomerang, it stayed right by.

It wasn't long before the Benz came to a sudden halt, and the man was shaking my unconscious soul awake.  I hadn't even noticed how tired I was before falling asleep in this unknown mans car.  Who knows what he could have pulled, just to have gotten into my panties for the night.

 "You alright?" He questioned, helping me out the car, as we walked into the large house.  I nodded aggressively, trying my best to stand on my own, and  show this man I didn't need his help.  My six inch, Louboutins, helped enhance my 5" 6 stature to six feet flat, as I strutted through the halls beside him.  

Once inside of the bedroom he pushed me onto the what seemed to be king sized mattress, kissing my lips roughly, as I my palms found their way into his wild hair.  He wasted no time in quickly undoing the buttons of my coat, as it fell to the floor below us.  I was now in only my Victoria Secret lace lingerie, and heels.  

As he began to remove his shirt, and pull of his trousers was when I caught of quick glance of his eyes.  The same eyes that invited me into his vehicle no more than half an hour prior, and studied my features as I stared out the car's window.  Something in his eyes made me feel safe, but uncomfortable to proceed on with what I was doing.  As if my conscious was standing before me and screaming at me to stop.

"I can't do this." I blurted out, as my heart rate sped, and my breathing patterns quickened.  I felt as if a elephant was sitting atop of me, making it hard for me to breath. I tried my best to push past him, before grabbing my red trench coat off of the floor.  I fidgeted with the buttons, as I padded through the halls with nothing on my mind besides getting as far as I could away from this man.

 "Wait!" He shouted, while chasing after me.  I didn't get very far, before he caught up to me, stopping me in my tracks as he spun me around. "What the hell is that all about?" He questioned sternly, as I held tightly onto my arm.  I gulped before trying my best to shake away the stray tear from falling down my cheek.

 "Please let me go!" I cried between sniffles. He looked down at his hand wrapped tightly around my  before quickly releasing his strong grasp on my upper arm, leaving a red mark.  I glanced at him with a look of terror to see him staring back at me with regret.

 "I'm really sorry." He mumbled repeatedly, trying to make the situation better as I backed away from the monster before me.  His cocoa brown eyes beaming a look of mystery, as I felt more and more unsafe .  "I just can get a bit short tempered sometimes." He  apologized, taking a step closer to me with every step I took back.

 "Just please get away from me!" I shrieked, taking one last step back before hearing him shouting "Noooo!" In response.  I felt as if I was falling, as If I were free from all worries.  It wasn't long before two strong arms caught me, before I fell.

I opened my eyes to see him holding onto me tightly, not daring to let go. "Please don't do that again." He pleaded, barely over a whisper.  I looked deep into his eyes and saw the one thing that made me agree with him, the mischievous eyes that my father once held.
