Swallow "Swallow" first appeared in the erotic ezine Ruthie's Club (www.ruthiesclub.com/gateway.php) in January 2005. WARNING: BLOOD FETISH. This is kind of a weird one... ***** Sun’s almost gone. Pretty soon the streetlights’ll be on, a sick yellow-orange that hurts my eyes. Can’t see the stars in the city. Time to go. Black jeans, black jacket, black Keds. Black hair loose around my shoulders. Black shades, black nail polish. All for him. He likes black. Out the door, down five flights to the street. Nearly tripped over some goddamn drunk on the stairs. Light’s been out for a fucking week. Cold out. I can see my breath. My bare chest constricts, but I don’t close my jacket. He likes my pale skin against the black. Thinking of the way he looks at me makes my cock hard. Couple of blocks, through the secret door. He’s waiting for me. He opens his arms. I go to him. His kiss is hot. The look in his white-blue eyes is hotter. I know what he needs. We both need it. I strip, lie down on the floor, spread my legs. I’m so fucking hard. It hurts when he cuts me, but not bad. He has to cut deep to make me bleed, because of the scars. He sucks the blood from my cock. I come in his mouth in less than a minute. He takes more blood, a lot more, then sits up and jerks off on my face. He cuts his wrist, holds it to my lips. His blood’s thick and salty. Used to make me sick, but it doesn’t now. Think he took too much from me. Feel weak, rubbery. Hard to swallow. Got to; need the blood. I need it. I fucking need it. Running down my chin. He’s cut me again. Sucking again. Hurts. Blood’s running out my mouth. Can’t swallow it. Can’t swallow. Can’t. Swallow. Swallow.
