Finally the light changed, and although I meant to turn right to go to the supermarket, I found myself not turning at all and going straight through the light, following River as he sped down Main Street. It took me a minute to even realize I wasn't going where I had planned, but by the time I did, I was a mile down the road and my car was headed out of town and onto the ramp for the main highway with the tail lights of River's motorcycle leading the way.
Once we merged onto the highway, River sped up and weaved through several other cars ahead of me. I continued to follow him at a distance, allowing several other cars to get in between us. I wasn't thinking, I was just driving. But when it started to dawn on me that I was following someone that I really shouldn't be following, I began to rationalize it to myself.
First of all, he didn't know I was following him. Secondly, he would never find out. I would just follow him to see which exit he took, and then I would go home. No harm done.
Except that didn't happen. It was another thirty miles before he finally exited and two cars in front of me took the same exit, so I did the same thing. I wanted to make sure I wasn't directly behind him, and since there were other cars to block me, I figured I was safe. When he turned right after exiting, I followed. It was pitch dark now, and we drove for another mile before he turned off onto a dirt road. The cars in front of me continued past him, as did I. I drove until I saw the next dirt road and slowly turned my car onto it.
I knew I should just turn around and go home now. I had seen everything I needed to see. But that evil curiosity was too much for me to resist, so I hid my car by parking it under some trees instead of turning around.
CHAPTER FOUR
My heart was pounding in my chest as I sat there in the dark and tried to talk myself out of what I was thinking. But I couldn't. Luckily, it was pitch black out. I could just leave my car here and take a little stroll and see what was down the road he turned on. He would never see me. I would just check it out and then leave. I had come all this way, and I certainly wasn't satisfied with just watching him disappear down a dirt road.
Luckily, it was a warm, clear night. Tucking my phone and keys in my pocket, I began walking along the side of the tree lined highway towards where River had turned in. When I reached the road, I followed it slowly. Tall pine trees lined both sides of the narrow, bumpy dirt road as it curved through the forest. It went deeper into the forest than I thought, and I was contemplating turning back when I finally saw a faint flicker of light. When I rounded the curve, I saw a rustic log cabin, completely secluded from the road and surrounded by tall trees. Yellow light poured out of the open windows, flooding the wrap-around porch and River's Harley parked in front of it. Crickets chirped through the forest as the smell of fresh pine filled the air.
This was not where I expected a hardened gang member to live. It was rugged, sure, but it was cozy, homely and inviting. I felt like I should have come during the day and offered him a pie. If it wasn't for the bike parked out front, you would have thought his grandma lived here.
I watched from my hiding place in the trees for a while, but became frustrated quickly. I couldn't see a thing. The windows were open, but the front windows opened up to a living room and he apparently wasn't in that room.
Carefully, I crept over to the side of the house, doing my best not to step on pine cones or twigs or anything that might make a loud noise, although complete silence was impossible. Pine needles crunched under my feet with every step.
Pressing my body against the side of the house, I peered into the first window I came to. A bathroom. Clean, but obviously belonging to a man. Nothing but a toothbrush, toothpaste, a razor and a bottle of Old Spice on the counter. No frilly towels or lace curtains. Grandma definitely didn't live here.
I crept up to the next window towards the back of the house. Bright light poured out of it, and keeping my face as hidden as possible, I peeked in.
I almost fell over when I saw the vision in front of me. River was standing in his bedroom, his black leather jacket thrown over the black bedspread that covered a huge, four poster bed. His back was turned toward me as he pulled his black t-shirt over his head. I bit my tongue as the sight of his tattooed back, his muscles rippling under the bright light. He sat down on the bed and pulled off his heavy black boots. When he stood up again, he walked closer to the window, just feet from my hiding spot. I watched wide-eyed and frozen in place, desperately praying he wouldn't see me, as he reached down and ripped open his button-fly jeans.
I felt like the luckiest woman in the world as he pushed them down over his hips and stood back up. He wasn't wearing any underwear and his soft thick cock dangled between his muscular thighs. I felt my pussy contract as I watched him walk right up to the window, now mere inches between us. When he reached up to smooth his hair, I realized that because of the light in his bedroom, he couldn't see out of the window and was looking at his own reflection. He wouldn't be able to see me at all!
I hadn't realized I was holding my breath until now and I put my hand over my mouth as I took a deep breath, trying to remain completely silent while I did my best not to blink so that I could memorize every inch of his muscular nakedness. Taught, tan skin stretched across his bulging muscles. His shoulder were broad and thick, his sculpted chest was covered in fine, curly blonde hair. My eyes traveled down to his over-defined abs, and followed the thin, dark trail of hair that led down to his huge, breathtaking cock. It was soft, but impressive even in it's calm state. I licked my lips, mesmerized by my perfect, private view.
Turning away from the window, he picked up a bottle of beer from the side table, opening it and drinking from it as he sat down on the side of his bed. He grabbed a joint and a lighter from an ashtray on the table and lit it up, inhaling deeply. I watched for several more minutes as he sat there silently imbibing and noticeably relaxing with each drink and each hit that he took. The hard lines on his face began to relax and his shoulders began softening.
I felt a pang of guilt as I realized I was watching him in one of his most private, vulnerable moments. The hard, tough guy enjoying a moment of silent relaxation, away from the demands of being the president of a gang of outlaw bikers, a moment of not having to be the invincible man in charge. It was a poignant moment, and my guilt changed to gratitude as I witnessed the beauty that washed over his face. He couldn't have been more than 25 years old, and although he was indeed relaxing, there was still a hardness in his blue eyes, a weariness that would probably never disappear. I almost felt sorry for him. It was obvious his lifestyle was taking a toll on him.
He reached for the remote control and turned on the television that was mounted in the corner of his bedroom. Flipping channels, he quickly scrolled past the news and talk shows. Pressing a few extra buttons on the remote, I almost laughed out loud when I realized he had turned on a porn. He turned the sound down and I watched through the window as a busty redhead was drilled by two men with huge cocks.
When River began stroking his cock, I realized I had hit the lottery by choosing to follow him. I had certainly never expected to be rewarded by this spectacle! I watched in fascination as his cock grew in his hand, hardening quickly until it was throbbing and engorged as he gripped it tightly in his large fist. My juices began flowing between my legs and my hand trailed down to press against my clit. I couldn't help but be aroused – he was so manly, yet beautiful; so dangerous, and yet he seemed harmless from my perch outside of his window. My body was yearning to be filled with that monstrous, dangerous cock, and yet I knew that would never happen. This was the next best thing, by far!
I unzipped my jeans and buried my hand deep inside of my soaked panties, rubbing my slippery pussy furiously as I watched River close his eyes and pleasure himself in the privacy of his bedroom. I loved the fact that he didn't know I was watching, it was such a rare gift to see him like this. He stroked himself with focus and precision, his eyes closed tightly, the porno long forgotten as he searched for his release. His mouth ope
ned slightly as his entire body tensed up before his cock erupted in front of me.
The window began fogging up with my breath, and I moved over, trying to get a better look. I didn't know the log was at my feet until I tripped over it. With my hand still buried in my pants, I was unable to catch myself before I fell to the ground, hitting my head on the log with a loud thump and a hearty yell that escaped from my mouth.
CHAPTER FIVE
I woke up with a start. River was standing over me, his face a mixture of anger and concern. My head felt like my brain was trying to escape from my skull. I tried to raise my hand to touch the hot, wet spot on my forehead, but I met a tight resistance. When I tried using my other hand, I realized I was tied to the bedposts. In a panic, I tried to sit up but realized my feet were tied to the other two bedposts.
I was stunned. My heart began racing, beating against my chest as I wiggled against the restraints and stared up into River's hard blue eyes as he watched me. The tables were turned and I didn't like it one bit.
“P-ppp-please let me go, please!?” I managed to sputter out.
He didn't respond. He didn't blink. He just kept staring down at me, through me actually. Just watching me struggle on the bed that was still warm from his body heat.
I couldn't believe this was happening. What must he think? I remembered standing outside of his window, watching him orgasm and trying to get closer and that was all. He must have found me outside with my hand inside my panties – for God's sake! I was dying of embarrassment!
“Um...p-please, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean any harm. If you'll just untie me, I'll leave and I won't tell anyone you tied me up. Please don't hurt me, please let me go.”
Again, he didn't react. He just stood there at the foot of the bed, still naked, the concern gone from his face, and nothing but anger left. His blue eyes raged down at me, his body tense and rigid.
Clearly, I was in deep trouble. He could do anything to me. I was completely at his mercy, and I had gotten myself into this awful situation. What the hell had I been thinking following him all the way out here and looking into this very dangerous man's windows? I must have been insane.
He turned and left the room.
“Wait! Oh, please don't leave me here! Please let me go, please!” I pleaded.
He rounded the corner and I heard him shuffling around in another room. When he walked back in, he was holding a bandage, rubbing alcohol and cotton balls. He sat down on the bed next to me, looked angrily into my eyes and leaned forward towards me. He removed the bloody curls from my forehead and looked closer at the cut on my head. Saturating a cotton ball in alcohol he rubbed the cut roughly. Wincing, I tried to turn my head away but I couldn't move.
“Be still.” He spoke, finally.
The stinging was excruciating, but I obeyed him and let him wipe the blood away. When he was done, he applied the bandage and left the room again. I breathed a sigh of relief. If he was bandaging my wound, then maybe he wouldn't kill me.
When he returned he sat down next to me again. Looking at me somberly for a few moments, I gazed back silently, unsure what to do.
“Thank you.” I managed to mumble.
“Who do you work for?” he asked.
“What? I don't work for anyone. What do you mean?” I stammered.
“You must work for someone or you wouldn't be here looking in my window.”
“No, I don't. I swear. I work for myself.”
“Oh yeah? Then what is your business that you are out here looking in my window?”
“Oh, no, no! That's not what I meant. I meant, I work for myself. I'm a business owner. I own a salon, a hair salon....I'm not here because I...well...I don't have any business here. I'm so sorry...” My voice trailed off when I realized I was going to have a very hard time explaining myself.
“What the fuck are you talking about? What's your name?” He was getting angrier by the moment.
“Dixie. My name is Dixie.”
“Dixie? Dixie?? Where have I heard that...wait – Dixie's Cut and Curl?”
“Y-yes...that's my business.”
“Across the street from my shop? Why the fuck are you thirty miles away and peeking in my fucking window? What the fuck is wrong with you?” He stood up, his imposing figure taking my breath away.
“I know. I....um....I....well, it's really hard to explain. But I promise I didn't mean any harm, please will you let me go? Will you please untie me and then I'll just leave?”
“Fuck no. You aren't going anywhere. Not until you explain yourself, and then I’ll decide if I let you go or not.”
Oh, no. Oh no, oh no, oh no!
“Um....listen, it's harmless really. It's just a simple thing I do sometimes. I'm a writer. It's research.”
“What? Are you a fucking reporter?”
“Oh, no, not a reporter. A writer. I write fiction. And um...it's just that...well, sometimes I watch people, just to see what they're doing, so that I have something to write about. That's all. It's completely innocent.”
“You were watching me masturbate. Through my bedroom window! How did you even get here? Did you follow me all the way from town?”
“Y-yes...I didn't mean to. It just happened. I pulled out after you drove by and I was following you before I knew it. I'm so sorry. Seriously, River, I didn't mean any harm.”
“How the fuck do you know my name?”
“Oh. Um....well. Your shop is across the street from mine and I've seen your name on your jacket.”
“You've been watching us for a while, have you?”
“I haven't seen anything! I mean, seriously, it's all harmless. My life is just really boring, so I watch other people. Sometimes I follow people to see if I can discover some secret about them that I can write about, but I have never followed you before tonight – I swear! And then I just got carried away. I never imagined you would start masturbating and then when you started, I couldn't look away...”
“I just got so turned on and I couldn't help but do it, too. And then I tripped and hit my head.” The blush that crept across my skin started at the top of my head and spread throughout my entire body. Thankfully, I still had my clothes on, which was more than I could say about his amazingly distracting nakedness.
It was impossible to meet his eyes after that confession and my gaze fell, landing squarely on his huge cock. I jumped when I saw his cock twitch as he stared hard at me.
“Is that so?” He said, his voice full of ice and danger.
“Again, I am so sorry.”
“I bet you are. I bet you are sorry you got caught, but I'm not so sure you are sorry for doing it. How many people have you spied on like this? Did you think you would never get caught? Do you think people like having their most private moments intruded upon and then written about by a stranger?”
“N-n-no of course not, of course they don't. But they don't know. Nobody has ever seen me before – I mean, um....nobody has ever caught me before. Before now. Before you...before you...you caught me.”
He was watching me intently. His electric blue eyes bore into mine, his anger subsiding and slowly being replaced by something just as dangerous but different....as his eyes scraped across my body, my limbs still wiggling against his skillful knots, and a hunger filled his eyes, a savage desire that I could almost touch. If only he would release my hands, that is.
My pussy quivered when I realized I might not get out of this situation unscathed.
“Please let me go.”
“No,” he said, taking a step closer to the bed.
“No? But I didn't do anything, and I promise not to tell anyone what I saw.”
His laughter filled the room as he sat on the bed next to me again.
“What you saw? You saw me stroking my cock, do you really think anyone is going to be interested in hearing about that?” His finger trailed along my cheekbone as he peered into my eyes, lowering his voice to a deep growl. “The only person interested in that seems to be you, Dixie. Did you f
ind that...interesting? Did you enjoy watching me pleasure myself? Did you get something out of watching me cum?”
He was so close to my face now that I could feel the heat of his breath. My skin bristled as he brought his lips to my ear, whispering the words I had longed to hear without even knowing I wanted to hear them.
“I think I want to watch you, Dixie. You are always the one doing the watching, but what I want to know is this - do you like being watched?”
My mind reeled when he said that. I would have run out of the room at his words, but I was bound and helpless, unable to do anything but admit to the dark truth of my reality. I was a voyeur, but only because I wanted so badly to have someone watch me, to have someone look at me, to have someone see me. I hated being so invisible, and now here I was, exposed for who I was really was, for what I really wanted. And what I really wanted was him.
My pussy spasmed at his words, at his closeness, at his heat. I couldn't form any words, I just stared up at him, wide-eyed and full of wonder at the effortless way he saw right through me.
