Enigma69 (2:00:00): So...I'm talking to the great author himself.

Buttercup1983 (2:00:20): (blushes) I'm hardly a great author.

Enigma69 (2:01:00): Don't sell yourself short. I don't read crap.

Buttercup1983 (2:02:10): Well, I'm glad that you enjoy my stories.

Enigma69 (2:03:30): I really do, though no one I know would ever believe I read that sort of thing.

Buttercup1983 (2:03:50): (tilts head) Why?

Enigma69 (2:05:00): Most people think I'm a heartless bastard who only believes in fucking, not love.

Buttercup1983 (2:06:01): No one really knows who I am, either.

Enigma69 (2:06:20): That surprises me.

Buttercup1983 (2:06:30): Why?

Enigma69 (2:08:15): You don't seem like the kind of person who could (or would want to) pretend to be something other than you are.

Buttercup1983 (2:10:01): On what do you base that?

Enigma69 (2:14:11): Your emails and stories. You know exactly how you feel and what you want and aren't afraid to put that into what you write. Even when you don't mean to reveal everything, it comes through. For example, from your first email, I could tell that you're lonely and sad.

Buttercup1983 (2:17:01): I don't know what to say.

Enigma69 (2:18:15): You don't have to say anything. I know what you're thinking and feeling.

Buttercup1983 (2:18:35): You do?

Enigma69 (2:20:00): Yup. You're thinking, "I don't want him to pity me, but I don't want to lie," and you're feeling exposed, afraid, and insecure.

Buttercup1983 (2:23:25): How do you do that? People I've known for years or even my entire life don't read me that well, certainly not just from emails and IMs.

Enigma69 (2:28:40): I don't know. I'm pretty perceptive when I want to be...but I don't usually care enough to bother. Something about you makes me curious. I don't think I've ever wanted to understand someone the way I want to understand you. I read your first email about ten times before I knew what I wanted to say.

Buttercup1983 (2:30:01): I find you just as intriguing. I was so happy when I read your first email, and I was on pins and needles waiting for you to reply to mine. When you finally did, I almost did a happy dance. But I don't understand why.

Enigma69 (2:30:40): (chuckles) So let's lighten the mood a bit. What's your wildest fantasy?

Buttercup1983 (2:31:20): (blushes deeply) What?

Enigma69 (2:31:40): You *heard* me. What's your wildest fantasy?

Buttercup1983 (2:33:01): My wildest or my favorite?

Enigma69 (2:33:30): Hmmm...both.

Buttercup1983 (2:35:01): You don't ask for much, do you? ...and yes, I was being sarcastic.

Enigma69 (2:35:45): You forget who you're *talking* to. I could *hear* the sarcasm.

Buttercup1983 (2:36:01): (million-watt smile)

Enigma69 (2:38:00): Are you going to answer sometime tonight?

Buttercup1983 (2:38:15): Patience is a virtue.

Enigma69 (2:38:30): Not one of mine (smirks)

Buttercup1983 (2:40:20): Actually...now that I think about it, my wildest fantasy and my favorite fantasy are the same.

Enigma69 (2:40:40): ??? (sitting on the edge of my chair)

Buttercup1983 (2:42:01): To be with someone who intoxicates me with his very presence, so much so that I have an uncontrollable desire to taste and touch every single part of him. Someone who feels exactly the same way about me. We'd fuck all night (literally) and never be fully sated.

Enigma69 (2:42:50): Damn. You're getting me hot, Sunshine.

Buttercup1983 (2:43:01): Sunshine?

Enigma69 (2:44:00): The happy dance...the million-watt smile...your capacity for dreaming (which suggests a naturally optimistic disposition)...You light up the room...even a virtual room.

Buttercup1983 (2:44:10): (blushes from head to toe)

Enigma69 (2:45:00): Have I mentioned how hot the blushing is? Do you really do that? I'd bet big money that you do.

Buttercup1983 (2:46:01): Unfortunately, I do.

Enigma69 (2:46:30): I like it.

Buttercup1983 (2:47:01): ...So what's your wildest fantasy?

Enigma69 (2:48:05): I'm a slut. I've traversed the whole sexual spectrum...several times. But there is one thing I've never done. One thing I'm ashamed to say that I really want to do.

Buttercup1983 (2:48:20): Make love with someone?

Enigma69 (2:49:00): Yeah.

Buttercup1983 (2:49:30): I've never done that, either.

Enigma69 (2:50:00): I'm shocked (seriously)

Buttercup1983 (2:51:01): You'd probably be even more shocked to learn that I've only ever been with one person.

Enigma69 (2:52:12): Only one? How the fuck do you write such yummy smut?

Buttercup1983 (2:52:40): The power of my imagination (bright smile)

Enigma69 (2:53:20): So...tell me more about yourself.

Buttercup1983 (2:53:39): What do you want to know?

Enigma69 (2:54:50): Whatever you want to tell me.

Buttercup1983 (2:56:01): (hesitates) I draw and paint.

Enigma69 (2:56:30): You are like James.

Buttercup1983 (2:57:10): Only in the broad strokes.

Enigma69 (2:57:25): Strokes (giggles)

Buttercup1983 (2:58:01): You're a little high, aren't you?

Enigma69 (2:59:00): More than a little (chuckles)

Buttercup1983 (3:00:01): (soft smile) So tell me something about yourself.

Enigma69 (3:00:35): Wait...what do you look like?

Buttercup1983 (3:01:10): Why do you want to know?

Enigma69 (3:01:30): Humor me.

Buttercup1983 (3:03:01): I have almost shoulder-length blond hair...but my hair is thin, so it looks a little feathered. I have light blue eyes and pale skin. My ass is probably my best feature. It's nicely rounded.

Enigma69 (3:04:10): Ok. Now I'll tell you something about myself. Actually, two somethings.

Buttercup1983 (3:04:30): Ok...(puzzled but very curious)

Enigma69 (3:06:20): If you're curious about how I look...I have hazel eyes...lightly bronzed skin...and chestnut hair. I'm lean and tall, but I work out, so I'm no wuss. That was number one.

Buttercup1983 (3:07:01): Wow! (eyes wide, heart beating wildly)

Enigma69 (3:07:19): What?

Buttercup1983 (3:08:01): You look very like the way I imagine Aidan.

Enigma69 (3:09:00): I figured, from your descriptions in Innocence, that we looked similar. So are you ready for something number two?

Buttercup1983 (3:09:15): Yes!!! (waiting with bated breath)

Buttercup1983 (3:09:28): (bright smile)

Enigma69 (3:10:58): I've been hard since you shared your fantasy...tonight before I go to sleep, I'm going to touch myself and imagine I'm fucking you...I want you to do the same...touch yourself while you imagine I'm inside you

Buttercup1983 (3:12:01): (shy smile, peeks up at you under my long blond lashes) I was already planning to

Enigma69 (3:12:30): That went straight to my cock.

Buttercup1983 (3:12:59): (another shy smile)

Enigma69 (3:13:10): Shit!

Buttercup1983 (3:13:20): What?

Enigma69 (3:13:59): I forgot that I have my son tomorrow.

Buttercup1983 (3:14:20): Son? (eyes widen)

Enigma69 (3:15:01): I was a sperm donor for some dyke friends of mine

Buttercup1983 (3:15:30): Oh...(sigh of relief) It's great that you are still a big part of his life.

Enigma69 (3:16:00): Well, he's pretty cool. Being my son, how could he be anything but? (smirks)

Buttercup1983 (3:16:50): So...tonight was fun.

Enigma69 (3:17:20): Yeah, it was. Can I IM you tomorrow?

Buttercup1983 (3:17:40): I'd like that (soft smile)

Enigma69 (3:18:10): Let's meet under the full moon at the witching hour.

Buttercup1983 (3:18:30): So romantic...

Enigma69 (3:19:00): That's me. The king of romance (rolls eyes). Later...

Buttercup1983 (3:19:15): Later...
