The Bayou Never Tells

by Chelley St. Clair

I was always told that once the devil calls ya by name, it’s best to walk straight up to the door to hell and face it.

I always figured apologies should mean you’d learned your lesson and plan on changing. Otherwise, you’re just full of shit.

Clearly a man written by a woman 😂

“Well, my little voyeur.” He smiles. “Did ya enjoy the show?”

🥵

We are locked together, the predator and his prey, silence stretching between us while I wait for him to pounce. Time blurs. The only thing that exists is him.

I swipe my tongue from that virgin hole I’m about to destroy all the way to the top. She’s so smooth, and wet between these hidden lips; it’s like I’ve found a hidden treasure and I’m going to steal all I can get.

Ehh. This virgin trope, I don't think it's for me.

“I’m just gonna wait ‘til you get ahold of yourself before I take my dick out,” he says.

😂

I’m shaking visibly now. Suddenly, it all feels like too much.

Oh my god, make up your mind girl.

“Now stop looking at me like I kicked your puppy and let’s take care of this pussy.”

Wow. 😂

I’m so grateful I was brave enough to ask for this.

Omg, desperation does not look good on you!

Do I look different? I feel different. My body is no longer untouched, and the absence of innocence is palpable. I know things now.

🙄

“That’s the beauty of this place. Whatever happens here, the bayou won’t never tell...and neither will I.”

“No, you’re the moth prince. The moth prince came for me, just like he said he would. He killed the spider...”

This is getting too weird for me.

“So, now you get to rebuild.” I kiss her hair. “I know it feels impossible, but you do it one step at a time, and one day you’ll look back and be so damn proud of who you’ve become. I already am.” “I don’t have the strength for that.” “So, you borrow mine. I’m here, ‘til you find your own.”

She’s got this thing every night, where she thanks me for finding her...for saving her. What she don’t understand, is she saved me first. She saved me when she walked through my damn door and turned my world upside down, and on the RV when she let me know I wasn’t alone. Then she saved me again six weeks ago, when she came back here for me.
