The Slice of a Blade

Trembling with giddiness and feverish with anticipation, I wrap my fingers around the drawer handle. The metal is cool to my touch. The drawer glides open. An army of razor edged stainless steel lies before me. Smallest paring knives on the left up to the sleek chef’s knife and the king of the drawer – the butcher knife  - on the right. My fingers hover over the butcher knife’s handle. No, tonight is not the night for you. Must restrain myself.

I grasp the 30 cm French-style chef’s knife’s handle and lift it. Honed and sharpened to exquisite exactness, it is not heavy, but well-balanced and rests in my palm with my fingers curled around the ebony black grip. Experimentation has taught me a longer blade will allow a longer single stroke. A longer single slice.

Longer.

Single.

Slice.

No more beautiful words exist.

Longer.

Single.

Slice.

I close my eyes and picture it sliding – s-l-o-w-l-y  t-h-r-o-u-g-h. Perfection.

Casting a critical gaze over the blade, I check for the slightest of imperfections which would dull the edge therefore marring sharpness and the moment. A ray of light reflects off the sleek steel. Memories flit through my mind of this knife’s edge effortlessly slipping through it’s prey. It is the perfect choice. The event will be sublime.

I rip the knife through the air, imagining the smooth gashes through It. My heart pulses in my chest. I spin and slash, spin and slash, spin and slash. A high giggle bursts from my lips. Such joy.

Stop.

Restraint.

Respect the moment.

Respect the act.

Lowering my head, I close my eyes. A small bow to the performance that is about to begin. I lift the knife, gripping with both hands. Holding it before me, I press a small kiss on the bolster. A homage to the beauty of this piece.

I glance back at It. Lying on the table, waiting. Waiting for it’s moment to become the star of my performance. A concerto of cutting, slashing and gouging. Screams would enhance the decadence of the moment. But the walls are thin. Nosey ears listen.

I must remain calm. Savour the moment. That first slice. A shiver slithers down my spine. I inhale, close my eyes and revel in the thrill of anticipation. I pause. Forcing myself to wait. To enjoy. Don’t rush. Ease into each action. Savour the sensations. Writhe in the bliss this act will give.

The moment has come. I step closer to It then lift the blade to my left and in one swift move slash across. The sensation of the knife ripping through It filters up through my handle to my arm and to my brain. A jolt of dopamine is released. Strength – confidence – joy – lust - power - surge through me. I release the knife from where it lays buried in It - lift and slash again.

And again.

And again.

Again.

Again.

It lays gutted. Open and exposed. I reach inside and grab at the entrails. With wild abandon, I rip out handfuls. Grab. Rip. Toss. Grab. Rip. Toss. Grabrip. Toss. Grabriptoss. Grabriptoss. Grabriptoss. Grabriptoss.

Sweat drips down my cheek. Loud gasps fill the void between the heavings of my chest.

The entrails drip from my fingers, the chair, the table and the edges of It.

It is beautiful. A masterpiece. My masterpiece.

It is so perfect.

It is perfection.

Trembles ripple through me. They build. The room sways. Hysterical laughing erupts.

With reverence, I place the blade on a towel, knowing it will be lovingly cleaned after It has been properly looked after.

I turn, once more to look at my masterpiece. Tears of joy stream down my cheeks at the beauty. I am struck numb by it. I know not how long I will stay here gazing at It. I want this moment never to end.

But it must.

 

The freezer lid drops with a solid thud. Orgasmic relief floods through me. Another carving. A smile hints at the corner of my mouth as I walk back upstairs. No one knows. No one suspects.

It’s been a while. You have to play fair. A sexy excerpt from Daryl Devore's rockstar romance - From Despair to Ecstasy #rockstar #hotread #romance

As promised - a hot excerpt from From Despair to Ecstasy

After a record-breaking short shower, he stood next to the bed, towelling off. He’d stumbled exiting the bathroom from the sight that greeted him; a candlelit room with Erika bent over scattering rose petals on the bed. It wasn’t the candles or rose petals that hit him in the groin. She’d changed into the teddy, and her bare backside was a beacon calling out to him. His hands tingled in anticipation of cupping those smooth round cheeks. A vision of sinking his teeth into one flashed through his head.

She straightened and turned. “Like?”

He ran his gaze down the black teddy that hugged her curves. She means the rose petals, doofus. “Uh… yeah. You brought all this in your luggage?”

“No. I ordered it. The hotel has a romance package.” She giggled. “It’s all on your tab.”

He pulled her next to him. “Guess you’re just gonna have to pay off that debt.” He placed his hand on the back of her thigh, sliding it up and over her butt. Lowering his mouth to the side of her neck, he nipped her soft flesh.

“No. No. Stop.”

“What?”

“Hell no,” his cock complained.

“You were in charge in India. I’m in charge here. We’re gonna do this my way.” She rose up on her toes and planted a perky kiss on his lips. “Don’t want you getting all hot and bothered too fast.”

He pressed his swelling cock against her thigh. “Already am.”

“I did happen to notice.” She slipped her hand between them, sliding slid one finger along his balls and up his shaft.

Darien dropped his forehead to her shoulder. “Oh God, woman. It’s been a while. You have to play fair.”

“Never.” She breathed the word across his chest.

His blood boiled. He hoisted her up to his belly. She wrapped her legs around his hips and her arms around his neck. Stretching his arms out, he gave her space to lean back. His gaze raced up and down the black lace, just sheer enough to hint at the pleasures hidden beneath. The material stretched from her right shoulder down to her mound, then back up to her left shoulder. A tantalizing gap in the front left exposing the exact amount of flesh to raise his heartbeat. Among other things.

He wanted her. He craved to be wrapped up in her. Sweat dripping. Moans filling the air. With a quick move, she’d be naked. Just toss her on the bed and dive in. He knew she’d be hot and ready. His to claim. The pressure deep inside built, urging him. He lifted his hand to her shoulder, slid his fingers under the tiny strap and pulled.

No. Stop, stupid. Don’t. Don’t go all Neanderthal. This is the woman you love. Treat her with respect. His chest heaved and fell as he calmed himself.

“Get it back?”

He met her gaze. “What?”

“Your control? Your eyes went… feral. I thought…”

“Almost did. I want you so badly. Just being near you has me on fire. And this… thing you’re wearing. Teasing glimpses of what I want.”

“I’m sorry.” Sadness filled her eyes.

Idiot. He mentally slapped the back of his head.

Darien opened his mouth to speak. She placed a finger on his lips. “Ssh. I should have thought about that. You must come off the stage pretty wired up, and it has been a while. I do have to admit, I’m more than a little horny, too. We can leave all this romance until tomorrow.” She grinned. “When you’ve gotten the fire out of your system.”

“Yes,” his cock yelled. “Do it.”

“There is no getting the fire out of me when I'm around you. You make me burn.” He hunched his shoulders. “You’re right. I was in charge in India. So tonight, you’re the Boss Lady. What do you want me to do?”

“You sure?”

He grinned. “Let’s just say, I know the end to this and the longer you take, the more I’m gonna make you scream. So it’s a win-win. What do I do?”

“Two things. Put me down, then lay down.”

“Those I can do.” He released his hold on her and knelt on the bed. “Belly or back?”

“Back.”

He stretched out, propping his arms behind his head.

She climbed onto the bed, straddled him and settled her hips on his. The vision before him was electrifying, her cute short hair, those fabulous grey-blue eyes, and that body that gave him an instant hard-on.

“What’re you grinning at?” She opened the bottle of massage oil.

“The view. I love the view. Of you.” She bounced as he chuckled. “I could write that into a song.” He sang, “I’m so in love with you. The view of you. Your gorgeous breasts. Breasts. Breasts. I’m stuck on your breasts.”

“You silly.” She slapped his belly. “I should hop off and go sleep in another room.”

He snapped his mouth closed, shook his head, crossed his heart and held up his hand.

“Somehow, I doubt you were ever a Boy Scout. Let’s see. Punishment for a bad boy.” She glanced around the room. “Ah.” Jumping off the bed, Erika dashed to the closet, pulled a belt off one of the bathrobes and returned.

Darien held out his wrists. “Oh, yeah. Bad boy needs punishing.”

An Interview with mega rockstar Darien Scott. From Despair to Ecstasy by Daryl Devore #rockstar #romance #contemporary #hotread

An Interview with rockstar Darien Scott

What impression do you make on people when they first meet you?

How sexy I am. Actually, people tend to stand in front of me and yell – You're Darien Scott! Like, I don't know my own name.

 How about after they've known you for a while?

If I can put my guard down and just be me, they'll find out I'm just a regular guy. I have my good points and bad points like everyone else.

 What is your profession?

I'm an entertainer. I compose music, produce, and sing for a living.

 Tell me about your best friend.

I have some great buds from high school, but at the moment I'd say, my manager, Lindon Gleason, is my best friend. He and I can sit down with a beer and talk about anything and he understands me and how to work around the pressures of my life.

 Describe your ideal mate.

Someone who can accept me. Me the person, not just the rock star. She has to be able to deal with the fact that she has to share the world with me.

Part B question – does that person exist? 

 I didn't think so, but, happily, I was wrong.

 What's the most important thing in your life?

The wall in my recording studio with the gold and platinum records, and Grammys. It tells me who and what I am and how much work it was to get where I am.

 You’re thoughts on love?

Turns out being in love is not as terrifying as I thought. I can commit to one person, and I can handle one person being committed to me.

 Your greatest extravagance?

Have you seen my house? I spent a stupid amount of money on it. Here's a photo of the floor in the master bathroom.

Is there anything you haven’t done that you want to do?

Raise a family. I want a home, a wife, kids, a couple of dogs. I want to be told to take the trash out. I guess what I want is a sense of normalness in my life.

 Your quirky habits?

Does anybody else like tuna on peanut butter?????

 What quality do you like most in a person?

Compassion. Compassion compels others to go out of their way to help people. That's a characteristic we should all encourage and develop.

 What trait do you most despise?

Arrogance. Being a major celebrity, I know I can get pretty arrogant. When Yes-people are hanging around you all the time and people are constantly telling you how amazing you are – it goes to your head. I dislike it when I realize what's happening in me. I'm the same as everyone. So if I dislike arrogance in myself, I think I can despise it in others.

 What are you most afraid of?

Horrible phobia about snakes. Even just thinking about them turns my stomach.

 What do you value the most?

My relationship with Erika. I will fight to keep that with all my strength. She has become my core. Without her, I'm only an empty shell of a human.

 Favourite food

Vodka. Can I call a drink food? Some vodkas are made from potatoes, so I'm guessing vodka can be a food.

 What would you consider your perfect night out?

Staying in. Snuggling on the couch with Erika, a bowl of popcorn, a beer and binge watching something.

 What was your first thought or impression when you met the person you fell in love with?

How unbelievable sexy she was. She was dressed in a pair of blue sweat pants and a yellow tank top with a dancing elephant on it. She was "real". No 6 inch heels. No make-up. No attitude. Just a woman who is comfortable in her own skin.

 What would you change about the person you fell in love with?

Not even going to try answering that. If Erika reads it, I'd be in sooo much trouble.

What do you like most about the person you fell in love with?

That she fell in love with me.

 What would you change about yourself?

Nothing. Sounds arrogant, I know. But the way I am – flaws and all – is what makes me me. Change anything and that makes a whole new me and who's to say that would be any better.
