again, she was nowhere to be found.
The party had moved downstairs, people dancing amidst the fire’s glow.
Their shadows dancing against the trees. “What about Stacey?” The girl looked at him, unblinking. “What about Stacey?”
“I kinda came here to see her.” Jimmy sighed, feeling foolish.
“Oh. I’m sorry, then.” The girl dropped her chin and curtsied. “I’m sorry to bother you.”
She had gotten a few steps away from him, when he grabbed her hand. He had no idea what he was doing or why he was doing it, other than he was at the mercy of the moment. She turned back and locked eyes with him.
“Plans change.” He smiled.
She smiled too, “So they do.”
Felicia danced around the fire, whipping her long green cloak. The flames licked at the flinging cloth. She whooped as her hips moved with the music, swinging her hair around as well. To everyone there, she looked like a dancing fire nymph, slinging flames as she moved. Many of the men watched this dance, her eyes meeting with many of them. She flung her cloak again, this time revealing she was wearing very little underneath. Her breasts and sex were covered by a thin layer of leather underwear. She had her intentions for the night, and was set on getting it. A few of the other female party-goers groan in disgust at the sight, shouting obscenities at the dancing nymph. A few others joined her in a rather seductive dance. The ladies danced against the flames, casting exaggerated shadows upon the illuminated ground. Many men tried to hide their interest, but it was impossible, they drew ever closer.
Jimmy walked through the party with the girl at his wrist; she was leading him into the woods. His face burned from a mixture of embarrassment and the intense heat of the pyres. The girl walked quickly, determined.
“Where are we going?”
The girl stopped long enough to turn around, move her mask up a little and kiss Jimmy.
Jimmy’s head spun as if he were intoxicated. The askewed faces of the party-goers, the flickering flames, all spun into a kaleidoscope of images.
His feet were moving again before he snapped back to reality. Again they were moving, now further from the party. The air became crisp and cool as they stepped closer into the darkness.
“I-I don’t even know your name.”
“Anna.” She came to a stop just behind another line of trees. She stepped over to a stump and sat down.
The party could still be seen not far off. Women were dancing provocatively and Jimmy couldn’t care less. He turned his attention to the sitting maiden. “Anna? I like that. I’m-”
“Jimmy,” Anna said. “I know your name, I know you in fact.”
“How?”
“Does it matter? Or does it matter more that I want you?” Jimmy’s eyes widened as she said she wanted him. He felt his body quivering in anticipation.
“Do you want me?” Anna said, leaning back a little against the stump.
“Yes.” Jimmy rasped.
Anna giggled. “Why did you really come out here, Jimmy?”
“What? What do you mean?”
“Your real reason for coming out here with me; did you think you were going to get laid?”
Jimmy shook his head, “I just wanted to take the chance and spend some time with someone other than my friends tonight. You captured my attention.”
Anna nodded. Her mask looked grotesque under the moonlight; her eyes had become black, lifeless sockets that stared deep into him. “Stacey always throws these parties. Tonight’s a special occasion. The Full Moon Gala.”
“What is that?” Jimmy knelt down before Anna, his hands slowly creeping to touch her leg. His stomach quivered as he did so, almost making him rethink his move.
“Well, it’s no mystery that hundreds of years ago the Kell family had a supposed “witch” in their family. People ostracized her and cast her out of the town. She lived here, in the manor. Every full moon she’d have a ritual where she’d dance naked under the moon, cleansing herself for a new beginning. Every full moon.”
“You’re kidding,” Jimmy said, sitting back. “I don’t believe that.
Witches aren’t real. Aren’t they a little too Halloween for us?” Jimmy laughed.
“Actually, witches follow nature. There is no demon worship or bloodletting of virgin children. It’s just a belief to readmit you to the earth and be cleansed.” Anna sat up straight and grasped the front of Jimmy’s cloak and pulled him close. “Do you want to see me dance?” she whispered in his ear.
“Y-Yes.”
Anna got to her feet and removed her cloak. She wore a shirt and pants underneath, and she slowly lifted her shirt revealing her stomach. She stopped, “You know it’s not fair you’re seeing me without me seeing you.”
“I can’t.” Jimmy looked around. “What if someone sees me?” Anna lifted her shirt a little higher exposing the bottom of her bra covered breasts. “Please?”
Jimmy got to his feet and removed his cloak. As he did, Anna removed her shirt and began to remove her pants. He did the same, stopping only for a moment to feel the bitter cool chill across his bare skin. Anna stood in her panties and bra, still wearing her mask.
“Can I see your face?” Jimmy asked.
“No. I like it like this. We can still be mysterious. Besides, what if you don’t like my face?” She didn’t give him time to answer before she unsnapped her bra and it fell to the grass. Her breasts were not big, a high B, but Jimmy was paying full attention to them. He wanted to reach out and touch her, and stepped forward. “No,” she said. “Lose the boxers.” Jimmy looked down and realized his boxers were still on, and they were scarcely holding him back as he grew hard. He hesitated for a moment, thumbed the band and dropped them, exposing himself to Anna and the moon light. He waited for her to start laughing or for this all to be a great practical joke on him. Ha ha! Get the geeky kid naked and beat him senseless.
Nothing happened. Anna did not laugh at him. No one came out with a camera to film this moment. Instead, she followed suit and dropped her panties. Jimmy took a moment feasting his eyes on her body; this was the closest he’d ever been to a real naked woman before. His hands reached out for her, he wanted to touch her soft flesh and hold her close. His hormones were racing and his erection was hard as a rock. “Anna, you’re so beautiful.”
“Ha, you’re just saying that because you’re horny and you know that I want you.” She stepped backward, into the moon light. She began to rock her hips as she danced in circles. “Come on! Dance with me!” Jimmy took one look around before joining her. So what, if anyone saw him he still had his mask on, so did she. Besides, there was so much more happening at the party. He looked over for a second and a gathering around the fire told him the party was getting a little heavy. He turned back to Anna who was motioning him to come forward. His erection was subsiding due to the cold and her body prickled with gooseflesh.
He danced closer to her, they were mere feet apart. “So do you get a lot of guys naked and dancing with you?”
Anna said, “More than you’d think. But usually it’s in reverse. They dance then I get them naked.” She laughed as she stepped closer to Jimmy.
He could feel the faint warmth of her body as they were almost touching. He stopped dancing, and instead she placed her hands on his stomach making it visibly quiver and suck in. She took long steps around him, her hands never leaving his flesh. She was all around him, and the scent of her skin began to overthrow his senses as she danced. His eyes closed and rolled into the back of his head.
“Oh God,” he spoke as her touch tickled his skin making him grow hot.
“Shh…” she whispered as she circled him again and then stopped in front of him. His eyes remained closed and she moved her mask aside and pressed her lips to his. Her lips caressed his and he felt her tongue slowly slide
