A Scorpion Sting

I heard the tea pot whizzing and the smell of coffee filled the room. I rushed into the kitchen just in time to stop the foaming mass from pouring onto the stove.

I poured myself a mug and the gate bell bellowed like a hungry hound.

Having received any visitor ever since I moved here, and never tested the gate bell and doorbell, the alien sound caught me off guard and I nearly burn my face with the hot coffee as I was about to sip.

Who could it be? It was already afternoon, and I have already said zuhr salat. I probably should get a gate man.

Feeling lazy to walk out the room, I switched on the camera screen and the pretty face of Diana stared back at me.

'Look who we have here spooky, what a surprise…'. "how did she locate this place kuga?" I don't know spooky….

I press the gate remote key and the gate slide open to give way for the white Audi to glide into the drive way.

Few moments later, a knock followed.

"Come in Diana!"

She came in and visually absorbed the space at a glance, before her eyes finally rested on me on the couch and she smiled….

"Quite a masculine space you have here Kuga," she echoed.

I was already on my way to the kitchen.

"Make yourself comfortable Diana, water, juice, coffee…".

"Coffee and water will be find," she yells through the kitchen doorway.

'Men… spooky, how do we hide the tootheless treasure now? Not talking to her straight in the face will look so weird…'

I served here coffee.

"How did you locate this place Diana?". she was momentarily shocked as though slapped on the face by an translucent hand, when she saw my toddlers' mouth, but quickly gathered her wits,

"I have a confession to make Kuga, I hope you don't get uptight".

"I stalk you home one day on your fifth year at wodmax… I think, I got curious about you." She said unabashed.

However, an awkward silence ensued.

"Do you mind if we sit in the garden, I was about to go out there before you came."

"okay."

I took the lead then she followed me out through the back door into the garden.

We sat under the cool shade provided by the lemon, guava, noni and apple trees among other exotic breeds.

The previous owner of the property might have been a botanist or something.

"Beautiful grounds out here" She murmured as though reading my mind.

"Thanks Diana".

"So you've been spying on me ha…?"

"Yah, you could say that".

"How naïve I did been, thinking I got everyone figured. You are full of surprises, Diana."

"Sometimes I think the watcher must be watched" she beamed.

"ouch! You sound Machiavellian" I replied warming up to the challenge of wits.

"Perhaps a Gracian, Kuga" she challenged…

"emm… didn't know you play in the high stakes Diana. You totally qualify to be a bride of a don".

"I am flattered and honored Kuga, except that real Dons are hard to find these days."

"emm… you sound as though you've been in touch with few, and still searching?"

"Maybe Kuga. I've been wondering whether we are dealing with one."

"No Diana, that title is way above my league. I ride solo. How may I be of help?"

"I want to get to the core of things, Kuga. Having a mercurial guy at the office operating behind the scenes, and seem to know so much really made me start digging," she said looking at me eyeball to eyeball.

"What did you find, Diana?"

"I found out that there is more to him than meet the eye."

"Why are you here, Diana?"

"I need answers kuga, there is a whole lot I don't understand, and you seem to be the only one on top of things now".

"Who sent you Diana, are you working for him?"

"What are you talking about kuga? Working for who?".

"Doc."

The surprise in her eyes said it all, but one could never tell. She is probably putting on an act.

"No, I can't even believe you will ask me something like that Kuga."

"And what is it between you two. Look, I have work with Dr. for so many years, but never did I see him react the way he did today when we were having that conference earlier.

You should have been there to see his disposition; he simply became a totally different person.

I am scared Kuga, and if I were you I will be careful around that man… now you want to know why I am here? My question is simple, what is going on?"

"Nothing that concern you Diana, but you did better start parking from that company before the blood start to spill."

"What are you talking about Kuga?" she queried shakenly, but held herself together.

"You know; I am responsible for most of these projects. I work hard to bring them in. Now I don't know how I am going to find my way out of this mud," she said absently, her raw emotions becoming obvious.

I wanted to soothe her. Perhaps a word or two to get her to calm down, but this was an unfamiliar terrain.

I genuinely felt sorry for her. She has every right to be scared, for I know what Dr is capable of, even Tarik is not safe."

I went into the house to get her some tissues to wipe her moist masqaried lashes.

Then I heard it, a terrifying shrill from Diana. I rushed back into the garden only to find her sprawled on the ground, wreathing in pain and I rushed to her side.

"What is the matter Diana?"

"oh, it stinks, is very painful, my leg…"

Then, I saw it, a black scorpion, turning to escape, but I stepped on it, crashing it immediately.

Diana has her arms wrapped around my neck as I crouch to scope her into my arms from the ground.

We headed straight to the guest room in the ground floor.

"Diana, listen to me now, I want you to do something for me, but I will have to move out before you do it, you will have to strip…umm… I don't know how to tell you this…. Let me get a pen and a paper…"

"please don't leave, Kuga"

"I will be right back, Diana".

I came back in less than a minute with the paper in hand. When Diana read what I wrote in the paper she stared at me wide eyed amidst her agony.

In her tight fitting jeans, high heels, and cream silk top, it will be a very difficult to strip without help.

Damn. she struggles with unbuttoning her jeans fly and I turned to leave…

"Stay Kuga… I don't know whether it's going to work"

"Trust me, that's the cure Diana, let me get you some clean bed sheets to cover yourself… while you are at it."

The jeans hang half way down her smooth pale mahogany thighs, sweating all over. Struggling with every little movement, and staring at me with pleading eyes, she held me hostage.

Intuitively, I inclined towards here on the bed, and helped removed her high heels and held on to the jeans, pulling it all the way down and yanking it free off her.

My heart palpate, and I instantly felt thirsty… as my eyes caught sight of her cream silky bikini, matching the exact color and fabric of her dress.

I stood up abruptly, my brain mushed up as I walked back into the hall confused about what it is I wanted to do…

'Yeah, the clean bed sheets… yes, upstairs in the wardrobe'.

I knew by the time I get back she will be alright. She only needed to insert her middle finger deep down her vagina till it reaches the cervix, and use the cervical fluid to smear thoroughly around the spot of the sting and the pain will subside.

Nature is dope… what a surprising painkiller, who will have thought pussy juice can perform such wonders… oh lord, save my laschivous soul.

I couldn't help it, highly potent is this forbidden aphrodisiac.

Thinking about the whole act itself was driving me insane with lust. It's been a long time I have been with a woman. I am so screwed.

In the bedroom upstairs I was pacing back and forth, 'spooky what are we doing upstairs?'

'The bed spread kuga, in the wardrobe…' 'spooky, what is the problem? You sound drowsy'

'shut up kuga, we are both screwed".

I knocked on the door downstairs,

"come in Kuga", I close my eyes, trying to play the good Samaritan as I handed to her the bed spread.

"Oh come on Kuga, open your eyes and look at me, don't worry I am fully covered now, only my head is showing".

Diana was as true as her word when I open my eyes.

"Sit down on the bed beside me" she ordered, remnants of the soreness still lingering in her eyes. I obliged and sat beside her on the soft mattress.

I should rise above these feelings, yes, my body reacted in the heat of the moment, but I think I will pull through, with my sanity intact.

I sat right beside her and she turned her head my way and we locked gazes. She had wiped her face clean of all traces of make-up.

Up close without make up, the woman looks very stunning than I did ever seen her. Up this close her pink thin lips look fuller and aesthetic.

"Are you just going to sit there and look at me like a puppy Kuga, hold me!" She ordered sternly.

I did and she rested her heard on my chest… then we were both quite for a while…

"Are you always this shy with women?"

"Just women I never expect… umm..." I clear my throat as it feels dry.

"Well, I have not seen any woman closer to you for a long while until that lady hug you right in front of everyone… " she paused and asked gravely;

"Is there something between you two?". "Diana, how is the pain, how do you feel now?" I tried to escape from that line of questioning.

"Don't even try that with me kuga? Don't be a coward, answer the question, please".

"No, you answer me this one question Diana, why do you keep referring to that scene with Ruby? If I do recollect correctly, this is the third time you brought it up"

"Kuga, can't you see, with all your smart brains, you are blinded to the most obvious thing".

"Blind to what?"

"You know what, forget about it" she said push herself away from me.

'spooky what is going on…?'

'kuga you are stupid" can't you see the woman want you'

"Diana, want me, spooky what the hell are talking about?"

"forget about it idiot".

'Hey spooky get of my head right now'.

"let me get us something to eat Diana". She didn't even look at me as I got up and walked to the door.

Then she called me back and asked me my most dreaded question.

"What happen to you? was it an accident?" she queried, pointing to her mouth.

I felt surprise at my reaction to the question. I was not angry;

"No, I was born this way Diana".

I was expecting her to asked a question like; "Why don't you get it fixed if you don't like people to see it".

Instead she looked at me in a strange emotional way.

"Come here Kuga". I lowed myself back unto the bed beside her just like before….

"Come closer let me whisper to you something"

As I drew closer tilting my head to position my ear to her mouth, she surprises me with a kiss to the lips, cradling my head between the grip of both hands.

Her soft lips glide and slide over mine, and we battle with our tongues hungrily, as we clang to each other. The sheets drops and the passion took over our twitching bodies.

We teased and tantalize each other in a prolong foreplay as I took one nipple into my mouth suckling it delicately while massaging the plumb and nipple of the other breast.

This simply act got her moaning and wreathing with pleasure. But we both got hold of our selves on reaching the point of no return.

Like waking up from a nap, I release her… "sorry Diana, I feel like I am taking advantage of the situation here, we can make this right okay, let me get us something to eat, please forgive me for my impulsive behavior,"

when I stood up and look down at her, she adverted her eyes tearfully, and my groin throbbed heavily, pulsating with desire.

Damn, I am so screwed.
