Chapter 36

• The lightning flashed again and the man was just outside the kitchen door looking directly at her. She laughed to herself and dismissed it as an apparition that existed only in her imagination. There was no doubt in her mind he was only in her sexually frustrated imagination and was not really standing on the other side of the door. However, the excitement of someone watching her masturbate, real or imaginary, caused moisture to gather in the pulsating slit between her legs. Christina’s nipples felt like they were going to burst as they brushed against the fabric of her nightgown. She slid a hand under the short hem of her gown to touch herself. She knew it was crazy, but she was going to masturbate while pretending to be watched by this imaginary man who wasn’t really there. She took the vibrator and moved it over her clit through the thin layer of her silk panties. She felt a warm wave of electricity run through her body as her orgasm approached. The lightning flashed, and she made eye contact with the imaginary man. That's all it took to launch her orgasm, which hit with the force of a tsunami. It was one of the most intense orgasms she had ever experienced. She closed her eye and let it wash over her. It was good, but she still needed more.
• She heard a movement and opened her eyes just as another flash of lightning lit up the kitchen. The man was standing a foot away and he had a warm smile. Kindness radiated from his face. She tried to speak, but nothing came out of her mouth. Her heart was pounding so hard it caused her whole body to shake. This fantasy had become too real just to be her imagination. The room was lit up again with another flash of lightning, and she could see that the imaginary man was wearing an army jacket with three gold chevrons indicating the rank of sergeant. There was an Airborne patch on one shoulder.
• Every nerve ending in Christina’s body came alive, and she didn't know if she should scream for help or run. She couldn’t move. She closed her eyes again and exhaled a long sigh of relief and laughed. She quietly admonished herself for acting so foolish. The man was apparently a figment of her imagination. It could never really happen. The kitchen door had been locked, and there was no way a man could just appear out of thin air. The emptiness in her vagina had caused her imagination to run wild. Her fantasies of being forcefully taken by a stranger were apparently driving this imaginary occurrence, she thought. One more Lightning flashed, and she got a brief glimpse of his rugged face and shuddered. She couldn't understand why this obvious hallucination didn't go away as it had several times in the past few minutes.
