Bella had just gotten in from a long flight, and her body was tired and worn from a week’s worth of shoots and boring work dinners.
Being stuck at the airport for over two hours before departure didn’t help her tiredness either.
Her apartment was on the city's east side, quiet and quaint, slightly modern with just the right touches to make it warm and inviting. Although she loved being back in her cozy apartment, her heart and body longed to be elsewhere.
She jingled the keys from the door as she entered her apartment. She quickly realized that it was cold, much colder than when she had left it.
She strolled over the creaky planked floor to the thermostat on the wall. She had to double-take at the register because it registered a warm 20 degrees Celsius, which did not match the chill she felt lashing at her skin.
Her body turned to goosebumps suddenly under her designer black dress; her perfect dime-sized nipples suddenly stood erect, visibly showing through the thin black mesh material.
Her heart skipped a beat as she felt something cold slithering up her inner thighs as her legs inadvertently spread apart, freezing her body still; panic started coursing through her smooth, petite frame.
It was as though invisible hands held her legs spread and forced her body rigid, her shoulder-length blonde hair pulling away from her back as though she was electrically charged, ready to strike.
With a crackle, the gas fireplace in the corner turned on, and the music from her stereo started playing Amazed by Lonestar at a medium set volume.
“How in the hell,” was all Bella thought as she looked over to the burning flame and listened, realizing that she had just heard this song for the first time before the plane ride home but hadn’t even downloaded it yet.
The eerie room was like a scene from a ghost story she had once heard, sending chills through her loving soul.
Then, with no warning, her body shuttered with an audible crack of her spine as an invisible touch morphed and wrapped around the backside of her knees.
A warm breeze started moving between her, blowing up her still inner thighs, making the hem of her dress float all around her.
Her eyes shut wide when what felt like hot erotic fingers slid up her dress and across her inner thighs, sending her insides quivering; slowly, erotically, they progressed toward her now dampening folds.
“Oh God, Mmm, what is happening to me?” said a scared but slightly excited Bella.
Warmth spread from her toes to her natural breasts as the heat rose in her neckline. She vaguely realized that her eyelids were now shuttering while she felt her heartbeat surge through her inner eardrums.
Unaware of her surroundings, Bella, not controlled by her own volition, walked to the fireplace and lay on the rug. The music flowed through her as she lay still, feeling the heat gather around her.
She hummed the song for a moment before realizing it wasn't just any song; when she first heard it inside the jetway before boarding her plane, it made her think of him.
With her eyes now heavy under her lids, she felt warm fingers slowly work up her inner thighs again, pushing the hem of her dress to her waist at the same time.
She thought how she longed for his touch again, but deep down, she knew this couldn’t be possible.
"Oh, God, James, is that you? Please be you, James," she moaned as the heat from the fingers moved past her wet panty line ever so slowly, entering her with a lover's touch.
She knew as she felt her true love's presence, smelling his familiar scent as if he were beside her and feeling his fingers touch her spots as he could only do.
“Oh God, James, how I needed you; please let me feel you,” Bella moaned with a pleading heart as her insides danced the forbidden.
She felt James's other hand flow up and on top of hers. His fingers parted hers to hold it tight as the heat from his invisible body lying next to hers made her body sweat.
Her soaked lips, wet from his touch, poured freely over his hands, a puddle resting beneath her firm cheeks.
"Oh, God, Oh, James," she whispered as her other hand met his beneath her dress.
A mixture of heat and sweat connected them for a few more moments until she felt the zipper on the back of her dress slowly slide down to the top of her firm ass, watching in amazement as the dress pulled from her body in one quick motion.
Bella lay as silent as the grave at the sudden change, as she could feel him looming above her body as her bra unbuckled beneath her suddenly; her panties scurried down her legs as though possessed.
She watched in utter astonishment as her bra floated across her chest to the floor and her panties disappeared past her ankles.
A split second later, she felt warm hands forcing her thighs wide, feeling a set of fingers re-enter her damp folds, rubbing against her love spot again.
"Mmm, Oh, Oh God, yes, yes, James!" Bella moaned, pressing her hips back against his fingers.
His perfect physical form came into her mind's eye before her, feeling his Mark Antony-like chiseled cheekbones that made him always look younger than he was, his muscular shoulders etched by muscle like a Greek God, as she could feel his smooth chest, and rigid stomach press against hers.
Feeling their heated bodies pressed firmly against each other, she sensed him leaning in to kiss her as his breath came closer.
She felt the wetness from his lips first, then the heat from his breath as their tongues touched.
