Grave Encounters
When you got home from work, a single blood red rose, a white box containing a red, knee-length, satin dress and one of Adam's patented parchment envelopes was waiting for you on your dining room table. Inside written in Adam's flawless penmanship, was an address and a note: I'm dying to see you. It's been a killer day at work. I won't rest till I hold you in my arms again. Meet me before dusk. Love Always, Adam.
You jump in the shower, then slip on the dress and are on your way as the sun begins to sink. You pull up to the address and, unbelieving, double check it. No, you're at the right place, Highgate Cemetery. Quaintly appropriate because you've just decided to kill Adam.
You instantly regret wearing dress shoes with a heel as you stumble your way over gravel through the gate. A rose petal trail greets you, leading you farther back into the graveyard. You follow the petals till they end at a long, flat, large, new-looking marker. A knot forms in the pit of your stomach as you get close enough to read it: Adam Klaus, Born: Ooh, aren't we nosy?, Buried: August 31, 1998, Died: ???.
Suddenly, you are bear-hugged from behind, a warm breath whispers in your ear, "They're coming to get you Barbara."
You pry Adam's arms from around you and begin to walk back to the car. "Wait Love, oh come on, wait up!"
You hear him scrambling up beside you. Adam darts in front of you, lightly grabbing your shoulders. You turn your head away from him. "Hey, hey now," he turns you to face him. Your eyes are watery but no tears have fallen yet.
"I thought something had happened to you." You answer simply.
"I'm sorry Love, it's for the act, for the special tomorrow night. Buried alive."
"Adam, no!"
"It's perfectly safe, Jonathan's gone over it with a fine tooth comb." You arch an eyebrow at him, your expression not softening. "I'll make sure he shows you the designs."
"I want to be here when you do it."
Adam puts his arm around your shoulders and begins to walk you back to the marker. "Yes, I know, should anything happen to me tomorrow, you and Jonathan will want to run off together straight away."
"Oh no, we'd stay for the funeral. It would only be proper." Adam gives you the strangest look and you smile and continue to walk. You run your finger along the writing on the stone. "So, afraid to have your screaming teeny-bopper contingent find out your real age Methuselah?"
"Ow, remind me not to give you a fright again. It makes you cranky." He puts his hands to your waist and lifts you atop his tombstone.
"I keep reminding you, but you keep doing it anyway. Schmuck." You put your shoe against his shoulder and playfully shove him away. He grasps your ankle and presses his lips to it, slowly moving kisses higher up your leg. He has the most wickedly expressive eyes. He begins to climb up the stone and on top of you. "Adam, we can't. Not here. Someone might see."
"They're horny Barbara. They've been dead a long time."
He eases his body down on yours and you smile up at him. "That is absolutely the last time I let you watch Monstervision with me."
He kisses your neck and you pretty much lose the will to argue with him. His hand moves down the front of your body and begins to hike up the hem of your dress. He presses against your center through the fabric of your underwear. His mouth moves to yours briefly before returning to your neck then sliding down to your exposed cleavage. His mouth and fingers begin to work in rhythm with each other. Pleasure ripples through your body. "Now Adam, please."
Ever obedient in these matters, Adam pushes aside the cloth between the two of you and enters you with ease. His mouth returns to your own and your bodies rock in harmony as the darkness of night begins to settle on the necropolis. You climax together, muffling each other's moans with your fervent kissing. Adam rolls onto his side and gazes down at you lovingly. He strokes your brow with a kiss, entwining his fingers in your hair. You reach up and touch his cheek. "So, what do you want on your tombstone?" You grin up at him.
Adam giggles and kisses you once more......
