BITTER GLASS

by Sharon.

Chapter 03.

Don't you run from this, he warned himself.

Her naked vagina was smoothly shaved. Licking his lips, Nathan couldn't help wondering what she'd taste like…. Without waiting any moment, He started stoke her bare skin, which glistened with dampness. He felt the cleft.

"Go ahead, Nate," Haley sexily urged.

"I don't want to disappoint you," Nathan hesitated. He wanted to go down on her right at that moment, but he knew it was going to be like a beggar trying to entertain a queen. A virgin like himself couldn't possibly give her the royal treatment she expected and deserved.

"Especially if……" he added, "…..if this is going to be..."

"My final time?" Haley filled in. Her voice had that huskiness again. "I want you to do what you want to do. And that's the first thing in a very long time that I've honestly, passionately wanted. Now give me my last wish."

Nathan went for the thighs. He rubbed his face against the impossible silkiness there, and then worshiped them with kisses before daring to give them tentative licks. The dampness was nectarous-sweet, its smell and taste luring him deeper. He nipped and licked his way closer to where he wanted to go.

Haley hummed with what sounded like pleasure and her legs spread wider, inviting him in.

And there it was. That oyster of pink folds with a pearl at its crown. It gleamed and glowed, as if coming up from underwater into moonlight.

It seemed so right to polish, to worship that glorious jewel. His hands slipped under her ass, loving the firm feel of it, and he raised her to his mouth. He licked and the folds parted. Nectar flowed.

Nathan had read about what to do, but had worried that he wouldn't remember if the time ever came. Now it seemed natural, instinctual almost to gather that liquid onto his tongue and use it and his saliva to glorify her clitoris. Haley gasped and moaned, and her ass began to move in his hands, to rock.

His cock responded, growing as If summoned by a siren.

The nub he was adoring swelled and hardened. Nathan sucked at it, then gathered more of the flowing liquid so he could bathe every warm petal. He lapped and teased and made love to that treasure. The moans turned into stimulating cries, and Haley's hips thrust so strongly he had to tighten his grip. She keened and sung.

The sensitive tip of his tongue felt her clit flutter, like heart…..Haley's heart.

His erect cock throbbed back, matching the beat.

And that's when she came, climaxing so strongly she took him by surprise. She jerked and shuddered under his hands.

"Fuck me…..Oh, Fuck me!" she cried.

Pulling himself up, he got his cock angled. It slipped in before he even realized that he'd thrust forward, like going down a water slide.

"Oh God!" he cried. It felt so good! Like being enclosed in velvet. Her arms and legs encircled him, and then he felt another of Haley's orgasms pulsing all around him. Holding, gripping him, squeezing him with a gentle firmness so heavenly, he couldn't help but hammer into her.

For a moment it felt as they were both trying to merge, to become one. The suck and pull of that velvet grip sent waves of pleasure into Nathan's groin. His balls lifted and tightened. Another wave, and another, with the two of them rocking together like a boat upon turbulent waters. Finally, Nathan crested, ejaculating for a second time.

And yet, again, Haley came for him, sucking him dry. Holding to him till every drop of semen had left him. The feel of her was so exquisite it was painful.

He pulled out a last, and collapsed over her leg. Sweat dripped off him mingling with her perspiration and juices.

The smell of sex hung in the air, warm as steam.

"Was...was that all right?" he managed, lungs heaving.

Haley was quiet for so long that he was afraid he'd done something terribly wrong and hurt her. Then she started to laugh.

It wasn't a mocking laugh. It was a delighted laugh, like splashing water.

"Thank God you weren't experienced," she laughed again, caught her breath, and laughed some more. "I don't think we would have survived."

-----------------

Nathan had been told that men didn't like to cuddle after sex. He couldn't understand that. He'd never in his life felt so close to anyone as he did now to Haley and the last thing he wanted to do, lying there in the darkened room, was to leave her. Nor could he imagine letting her go. All he wanted, now and forever, was to cradle and protect her.

"My full name is Haley Janet James," she murmured, which startled him as he'd thought she'd drifted off. Her head was resting on his chest, her mane of dark brown curls blanketing his shoulder.

"Shall I call you Janet then?" Nathan mockingly asked.

"No. I've always liked the name Haley. If I wasn't going to kill myself tomorrow, I'd probably…………."

A sudden chill went through Nathan and he cut her off quickly. "So, you're still going to do it?"

She sighed. "I guess you've earned the right to know. The reason I was on that bridge.... You have to understand I used to feel everything...strongly. And I used to love trying all kinds of new things. Meeting new people, seeing new places………. Then, about a year ago, I suddenly went dry. Exotic cuisines, extreme sports, it didn't matter. Nothing stimulated me. And I couldn't seem to give a shit about anyone either…… No one I met was interesting. And every place I visited seemed the same…….. I tried to care, I really did. But I couldn't……….. It's been a year and I'm still the walking dead. I don't want anything. I don't like anything. There's no pain. No pleasure either. I just can't…..feel."

Silence. Nathan was troubled now. "I'd hoped...you didn't enjoy yourself tonight?" His heart hurt at the thought.

"Oh. Oh no, Nate, Baby." Her hand stroked his jaw. "God, no. That's just it. For you it's all fresh and new. Other men have liked how I looked, but none of them have ever looked at me like you did tonight, as if I were the most amazing creature on Earth…….It made me feel unique, like I never have before."

That eased his mind……at least a bit.

"It was why everything we did tonight was special," she went on. "The fun under the table, the kissing, the lovemaking. You were receiving and giving that kind of pleasure, hearing it, smelling it, tasting it all for the first time. That's why I came so hard. Because I could feel it all again through you."

"I don't think……" she added thoughtfully, "…….that you will ever end up like me. You're one of those rare types who know how to treasure every sensation, every experience. Nothing will ever grow dull to you, or old or tired."

Haley's face was a white shadow in the dark room, her breath warm as she drew near. She found his lips and kissed him. "There was nothing I wanted, Nathan. So you couldn't give me that last meal, that last wish. But you let me re-live life for a night, and you gave me a last chance to feel something…...And you did that simply by being you."

A last chance. Nathan echoed in his mind, holding to her. Tears pricked in his eyes. So, He was glad for what he'd done.

He was sorry, however, that he hadn't changed her mind. That made him as a……failure. He failed 'her'………more importantly, He failed 'them'.

-----------------

Morning light was cresting over the city as they made their way back to the bridge. The streetlamps along the way dimmed, like moons sinking into waves of sunrise colour.

Nathan hadn't been able to think of anything to say to Haley on the return journey. All he could do was hold her hand. It wasn't until they reached the bridge that he finally managed to say, "Are you sure?"

"As sure as anyone can be," she said. "If I thought that things were likely to change, if there was something in life I was passionate about, or looking forward to, that'd be different. But it's all just the same for me. I don't even get angry or afraid….. I eat and sleep and time passes. I feel like life is wasted on me and it'd really be better if I just gave up my space to someone else……. I wish I wasn't this way, Nathan, and I'm sorry. But I don't see any reason to stick around."

He escorted her up to the exact spot she's been the night before. The early morning wind was moist and less chill than the evenings' had been. The sky was lightening from a deep indigo to a rich blue.

"I had," Nathan said with a lump in his throat, "a very nice evening…..Best day of my life!"

"So did I."

They gazed into each other's eyes, and the kiss they exchanged was tender.

Feeling the warmth of those lips, for a final time, Nathan turned Haley to face the river, exactly as he'd originally seen her.

He crossed over to the other side, hoping he wouldn't hear a splash. He wanted to be gone before she did it.

Reaching the opposite rail, Nathan put up his knee up and pulled himself onto to the stone balustrade. The flooded river rushed dangerously swift below, glowing with the fiery light of dawn. It was beautiful and welcoming.

There would be one shock of cold, he figured, and then it would sweep him away, along with consciousness. He hoped it would be fast.

The roar of those waters filled his ears as he leaned forward to give himself over to gravity.

"NATHAN!!!"

She grabbed him by the jacket, jerking him so fast, so hard that he tumbled back and hit his head on the cobbles. Stars flashed behind his eyes.

"Ouch! Damn it!" he hissed.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Haley screamed. She was standing over him and for the first time, there was life in her. Angry, blazing life. Her colour was high, her hair fluttering in the wind.

So that's what she looked like when she was really feeling something. God, she was stunning!...

Nathan pressed a hand to the back of his head. A bump was already beginning to form. He felt more embarrassed than anything. Haley had had the presence of mind to race across and grab him, as he had not been able to do for her last night.

He really envied her decisiveness.

"What was that?" She was furious, absolutely livid. "You think you can't live without me or something? Is that what you were about?"

"No," he said wearily and shifted himself first up onto his knees, then around so that he could sit with his back up against the rail. "Damn." He touched tenderly at his head. At least it wasn't bleeding. "That really hurt."

"Nathan—"

"No," he repeated. "I mean, no offence, Haley, but it had nothing to do with you."

"What then?"

"I was going to do that last night……. Until I saw you and got distracted."

She gawked. Her breathing had been coming heavy, now it went shallow. She sunk down to sit beside him on the icy cold cobbles. Sideways, like a mermaid. He liked that. It was very feminine.

"You came here last night to kill yourself?" she demanded, disbelieving.

"To throw myself off the bridge…yep," he affirmed.

"Liar!"

"No lie. I told you I'd be honest with you…. Honestly, I planned to kill myself." He smiled bitterly. "Funny, huh?"

"Hilarious." Her expression softened. "But why?"

He ducked his head. "I can't go on like this. I'm alone and isolated all the time….. I spent my childhood as a lonely kid. I spent my teen years as a lonely adolescent……. Twenty-two years bound and gagged. I look ahead, and I see myself twenty-two years from now, middle aged and eating microwaved meals alone……That's not a life."

Tears were trickling down his cheeks. He wiped at them angrily. He didn't want her last image of him to be of some weepy guy. "So now, thanks to you, I know what living feels like, a small touch of it. I know what's it like to have an honest-to-God date, to open up and talk with someone, to make love. That's a good memory to have when I go. A last meal, and a last wish."

"My God." Haley looked like she couldn't decide whether to be outraged or astonished. "You weren't talking about me last night. You were talking about you."

"I was talking about both of us," he said, squeezing her hand. "But that's the real reason why I asked you out on a date…… Because, I wanted to leave this world with something other than loneliness and isolation in me. And I hoped I might give you the same. You were right about us giving each other pieces of ourselves. That's what life's all about, I think….. Handing another human being some warm part of yourself that they can hold onto for however long they live."

She was quiet for a moment. Tears glimmered in her big brown eyes, and he wanted desperately to kiss and hold her, to make it better.

"You did make me feel that," she confessed. "Experiences aren't just new and fresh for you, they're precious. You know their value. I wasn't numb with you. Others wouldn't be either……. Doesn't that make your life's worth living?"

"If I had the courage to go out and find those others, maybe," Nathan sighed. "But I wouldn't have been able to speak to you if you hadn't been about to throw yourself off the bridge. You were right, Hales. I don't know how to approach the living."

"Nathan," she said, tears spilling down her cheeks.

He brushed back her hair from her wet face. "I got lucky last night. Luckier than I've ever been in my benighted life……I'm not going to beg the universe for more."

His head was hurting less. The day was getting brighter and if he was going to go through with this he had to do it fast. The rest of the world would be intruding on them very soon. Joggers, folk walking their dogs, or riding their bikes to work. Those that were alive and had no idea how fortunate they were.

He pushed himself up. He felt strangely wistful, as if he were finally, regretfully, giving up on a long held dream. A dream that things might change, that he might have what everyone else seemed to have.

He set a knee back up on the rail.

"Want to go out on a date?" Haley suddenly said from where she still sat, there on the cobbles.

Nathan suddenly went still, and then blinked down at her. She held out a demanding hand. He quickly brought down his knee and helped her to her feet.

"What?" Nathan curiously asked.

"A date," she wiped tears from her eyes and shook back her hair. "We'll have breakfast, take a walk in the park."

He stared at her. Licked his lips. "You're serious?"

"I wouldn't lie to you either," she said firmly.

"You'd...do that for me? Stay alive? Keep living?"

"For another day," she mockingly agreed. "Till dusk, say? Then we could come back here." Her long lashes dropped over those vibrant chocolate colour eyes. "And you can jump off the bridge…..or ask me out on another date."

Nathan swallowed down a lump and chuckled. "A second date huh?...That would be a first for me."

"Everything's a first for you," Haley said, "It's what I love about you."

He thought about that. "Will I have to worry about rejection?"

"Well, given what you'll do if I say no, I'd say you don't need to worry too much…. So, is it a date?"

In her high-heeled boots they were the same height and could meet eye to eye. Looking into her angelic face, straight on and with no inclination to glance away, Nathan felt her there with him, stirring to life. He felt, as well, a piece of her deep inside of him, warming his heart and soul, giving him a taste of all the world had to offer.

He suspected she felt the same.

"It's a date."

"Yea, It's a date." Haley softly mumbled, capturing her lips with his.
