Blind devotion

5.

She couldn't believe she had slipped getting out of the bath. As she had stood she heard the men talk about how gorgeous she was as she lifted her leg over the side of the bath. But she had misjudged it and had gone flying to the floor, grabbing a shelf that was next to her to steady herself. She could hear the sound of a drill as someone fixed the shelf she had killed.

Once she was changed she grabbed her stick and tried to make her way back to the living room, following the sounds of voices to guide her. That was one of the few things she hated about being blind was not being able to see her surroundings. Although her other senses were now hyper-aware she missed her lost sight.

"There you are," Andy said as he took hold of her arm, "you should've yelled; one of us would've got you." He said as he led her towards the sofa so she could sit down.

The party was now in full swing; Candace had arrived an hour before and had helped her get ready by doing her hair and makeup. She had been introduced to so many people that their names just swirled in her head, causing her to feel a bit claustrophobic. However, Norman had not left her side the entire night to which she was grateful. Currently, there was a soft rock ballad playing in the background and Norman had led her to the quieter corridor so she could catch her breath.

He had a few drinks by now. Judging from the smell he was knocking back Jack Daniels. But she didn't mind as she liked the taste of the sour whiskey drink.

"You are looking gorgeous tonight." He told her as he ran a lock of her hair through his fingers. Currently, they were stood body to body, not a hint of light was showing between them. Her breath caught in her throat as he ran his hand along her face.

"Thank you. I'll take your word on it." She said breathlessly.

She waited with bated breath as she felt him lean closer towards her,

"If I kiss you. Will you hate me?" He asked as she shook her head.

Suddenly his lips were on hers and she felt the breath leave her body. Never had she had such a kiss before? She tingled from the bottom of her feet all the way up to the top of her head. Using her hands she pulled him closer to her as they tongues did a wicked dance. Suddenly he pulled away and leaned his head against her own.

"If we don't stop I'm going to take you to bed." He said and her heart stopped for a second. She hadn't slept with anyone for three years and was really nervous.

"Take me to bed norm." She said feeling naughty. "Make me squirm."

In the bedroom, they could still hear the party going on in the background. But the noise was muffled by the walls in his room. He had described to her what the room looked like as he guided her towards the bed. She had never had sex since she had been blinded so this would be a new experience for her.

She felt calloused hands as they stroked along her cheek, almost as if Norman was using the same technique she did when "looking" at someone. Her breath caught as his hands stroked down her arms to hold onto her hands. Even though she couldn't see, she could feel that his hands dwarfed her own as they were so large. Almost like shovels.

His hands rubbed her shoulders as he pushed the thin straps down, his fingers causing goosebumps to appear on her skin where the touched. She felt his lips as they kissed her shoulders, the whiskers on his face adding to the sensation. She gasped as she felt the dress fall to the ground leaving her bare to his eyes. She forwent underwear as the dress was so clingy but now she wished she had put something on underneath.

"You look beautiful," Norman said to her as she felt his eyes on her. "I'm worried I'm going to break you." He whispered in her ear before he crushed his lips to hers.
