Act of Attraction - a Forbidden Novella

Chapter 8 - First Flame

I was frustrated.

I'd been on stage last night, acting my heart out and singing my love songs to a silent witness backstage, hoping that it touched her soul somehow. I looked for her in between my scenes, but she managed to elude me the whole night. By the time I'd undressed and taken off my makeup afterward, she was gone, asking one of her assistants to do the final check of the backstage area.

Tonight was closing night of the show and I was not on stage, rather on the rotation to help backstage. Not that I minded of course. Yesterday's heated conversation with Cora in the parking lot of the theater, made me even more determined to break through her defenses and give her the release she so desperately needs. And backstage had lots of dark spots... deep, dark spots where fantasies can become reality and I was determined to show her these spots. Tonight.

She'd greeted me during our backstage chat session before the show, but wouldn't look me in the eyes for long, and I was put on the flies again. As the show started, she called the cues and then followed on the script. I was standing close to her, sending flies up and down as needed, feeling the muscles in my arms bunch with every pull. I looked up after fastening the ropes and caught Cora staring at my strong, naked arms in a sleeveless T I wore especially for this reason. Seduction. She swallowed hard, then looked up to see me watching her watch me. And in that moment I knew. She was losing the battle inside her.

The look between us got more heated as we stared at each other in the dim backstage light. The sounds around us faded and all I could see was her and the reaction my being close was having on her body. I slowly moved over to where she was standing. We were coming up to a piece of the play where the show would run for a while without needing backstage help, so I knew this was it. The moment I'd been waiting for.

I took her by the hand and pulled her back into a dark corner with me, deep in the back of the backstage area, where we were shielded from prying eyes. I felt her hand shiver in mine, but she moved with me and I smiled a bit. It won't be long now.

I moved Cora to stand before me as I slowly cupped her face and moved in for a kiss. She lifted her head and opened her mouth to me, inviting me in. I took my cue from her and took the kiss up a notch, adding all the heat, passion and frustration I'd felt to every touch of our lips, every lick of my tongue across hers.

I felt the moment she gave in. She answered my heated kisses with ones of her own, climbing right into my soul. Her hands started to roam my body, feeling its way up and down my arms, my neck, my shoulders.

I backed her up against a wall and plastered my now hot body against hers. I needed this woman. She was burned into my soul. Our hands were everywhere, touching, feeling, exploring. Our lips entwined and sent silent messages of want. I broke away and looked in her eyes as we both panted for breath heavily. The message I saw in her eyes made me smile. She wanted me.

I moved in again, kissing a hot trail down her neck to her breasts, opening the buttons of her shirt in the process to get more of her skin in my hands. I felt her own hands dip under my shirt and her warm hand glide up my back. I shivered. I needed more.

Sure in the knowledge that we were shielded from prying eyes in our little dark corner of the world, and listening to the sounds coming from the stage, I estimated how much time I had to bring relief to the woman in my arms.

Just enough for what I wanted to do.

Slowly I trailed a path downward, down her hills and valleys, towards her feminine core. Reaching my destination, I dipped my hand inside her dark pants before my lips reached for hers again. I felt her moan against my mouth and I smiled. I moved my fingers, dipping into her to find the right spot, her core. At hearing her slight intake of breath, I knew I'd found it. I started focusing on it, rubbing and touching her intimately, working my way to the final conclusion I had in mind. My other hand found her breast and I lifted it out of its confounds, focusing the attention of my mouth on it. I felt her hand move down my front, dipping into my own pants, as she took hold of my growing member and started to move her hand. I was in heaven. The woman in my arms was hot and ready to be brought to ecstasy, and I was determined to give it to her.
