Night of the Elf

Word count 2372

Linn was in town for one night only, her connecting flight having been delayed until tomorrow morning. After checking into a hotel, she was directed to a nearby café for her evening meal.

Entering the café, she realised the tables were all taken. While she knew this would be a popular haunt for business people after work, she had expected there to be at least one spot free. Sighing, she looked around and spotted a man who appeared to be in his early twenties, sitting alone reading a book, occasionally running his fingers through his mop of dark curls. Linn went over to his table to ask if she could use the spare seat, thinking if he was reading he would leave her alone in solitude.

Linn was not like a lot of other elves. She could pass as human. Most of the supernatural kind could not manage this and either lived in seclusion or were discovered by humans and claimed to be genetic freaks or throwbacks. Having lived for so long, Linn had seen the worst side of human nature. While many supernaturals would think it was their ability to persecute and hurt others, she knew the real depravity of human kind was narrow mindedness. They could not accept the possibility of non-humans (aside from little green men) and when confronted with the possibility they reviled the subject to comfort their sub-conscious fear. Despite this, Linn tended to live a life of ones referred to as The Passing’. She would exist and walk among the humans, passing as one of their kind but living within the societal structure of her Elvin blood.

Living as one of The Passing meant that the supernatural society employed her to complete various duties that could not be undertaken by others, such as face to face meetings for various business ventures. Linn was currently on one of those duties and simply passing through

Linn had often associated with other members of The Passing. Some of them even assimilated into humankind to the point where they engage in romantic associations with them. Elves were full of essence which shone in their natural state. Due to the short life span of humans, they had very little essence. Linn had never been attracted to a human, while some were entertaining, their lack of essence made them seem dull and lifeless to her. 

Looking at the young man in front of her, she felt she had to let some of her essence show, just enough to charm him into agreeing for her to share the table. After all, even an elf has to eat. Joshua, as he introduced himself, was more than willing to share the table with her he advised, standing while she sat and made herself comfortable and then in turn he returned to his chair and his book.

Linn looked at the young man in front of her. Joshua was not someone you would find in a human magazine, but his hazel eyes sparkled with life as he read the book in front of him. She studied his delicate features and minute movements of his face as he pored over the pages of the book in front of him, paying Linn little mind. Satisfied that she would indeed have the alone time she was seeking, she pulled a book from her bag and also commenced reading to while away the time.

“The Poet is the priest of the invisible.”

Linn looked up to Joshua “Excuse me?”

Joshua leaned forward, lowering his book slightly “you are reading a collection of Wallace Stevens’ poetry, I was simply repeating my favourite quote of his.”

Smiling, she was surprised he even knew what she was reading, let alone be able to quote him. Of course she could not tell Joshua she had actually met the poet at some point, the age issue would be too hard to explain. Joshua’s eyes glinted as he returned to reading. Their respective meals arrived at the same time, so they conversed while they ate.

Linn discovered that Joshua had a business degree and was employed by a local mid-size corporation for what he described as ‘desk work’. He did not go into details on this, but instead brought up that he had been taking night classes in relation to fine arts and literature. Joshua’s eyes lit up as he told Linn that, while he did not intend to work in the area, he just somehow felt that various pieces over the years were either created by people who had a spark above the average human, or else were inspired by someone who did and was fascinated by the idea.

Linn smiled. While Joshua did not know how to word his belief outside of human concepts, he had somehow managed to ascertain that various art and works over the years had been created by supernaturals and passed off as human authorship. If only he knew she thought to herself.

They were still incredibly deep in conversation when the waitress came to their table with the check, advising them that the café was due to close in fifteen minutes. Linn was not sure how the time had passed so quickly, but it was time to say goodnight.

Exiting the café as reluctantly as when she entered, Linn noticed it was dark and there was a slight chill in the summer air. She turned to say goodnight to Joshua, but he offered to walk her the two blocks back to her hotel. Chivalry was apparent in the way he had conducted himself all evening.

While they walked, Linn found herself distracted. Despite many decades of being sexually repulsed by humans, for some reason she was drawn to Joshua. When he talked about topics he did so with a passion that shone essence higher than any human she had ever met. But still, he was a human.

Joshua saw her into the lobby, advising he would wait until she got in the lift before leaving. The whole time she waited for the lift, she kept questioning whether to invite him upstairs. “Listen, I’m only really in town for one night, but, and I have never done this before, if you wanted to come upstairs..”

The elevator doors opened and Linn found herself pushed inside, up against the glass mirror. Joshua’s soft full lips found her slender neck as one hand brushed aside her long dark hair and the other ran up her thigh, moving under her skirt and into her panties. Linn moaned as she felt his dextrous fingers rubbing against her clit, causing a familiar warmth begin to emanate from inside.

Pushing further into her as the elevator doors closed she could feel the cold mirror against her nipples, which had become hard at Joshua’s sudden onset of passion. He removed a hand from her hair, pressing the button for her floor. His other hand remained in place, stroking her, circling her clit and moving back to her entrance outlining where she was now beginning to ache. Linn could feel he was aroused, his hardness nestling in the cleft of her buttocks and stirring her warmth into fiery desire.

Just when Linn thought she could take no more and was about to beg for him to enter her, the elevator doors opened and she was released. She realised she did not want to be free from his hands; she wanted them to touch her naked flesh, exploring her curves, her secrets, even her soul.

Linn walked quickly to her room, Joshua following close behind. When they reached her door, she pushed Joshua up against it, kissing him while trying to find her room key. Linn could smell the passion and life in this human, so different from all the others she had met. She could feel his soft lips moving against hers, the tip of his tongue exploring her mouth so intensely. Finding her key, Linn withdrew from the kiss, playfully licking his bottom lip and entered the room.

Joshua entered, closing the door behind him as Linn dropped her bag onto the floor. She began kissing him frantically as she unbuttoned his shirt. Once his chest was bare, she lowered her mouth, flicking the tip of her tongue over his flat nipple as she attended to his pants.

Joshua, now free from the constraints of his pants, groaned, twining his fingers through Linn’s hair as she knelt down in front of him, taking him into her mouth. Linn looked up at him and smiled at the pleasure she was bringing to his face. She moved her lips up and down his erect shaft, pressing her tongue against his supple skin, feeling every vein and pulse as she went. 

When Linn felt Joshua was getting close, she moved her mouth to the head of his hard cock, licking and smiling up at him. He untangled his fingers from her hair and pushed her backwards onto the carpeted floor. Joshua gently placed his hands on her knees, parting her legs and kneeling between them. 

Joshua slowly slid down her black skirt, and then followed with the panties, kissing every inch of her legs as his hands travelled. Linn shivered as she felt his warm breath trailing over skin that had been too long untouched. He leant back, soaking in the sight of her smooth pale skin and the smooth pink mound which was now glistening with anticipation. Linn did not feel self-conscious by his attention and stares as she could see by the way he smiled and moaned slightly that he was pleased with what lay before him.

He lowered his head again, his tongue meeting her clit, moving over it softly as it was her turn to moan. Linn heard the noise that made it apparent to those within earshot just how wet she was and began to feel the familiar feeling that she was going to cum soon. Not yet, she thought to herself, I don’t ever want this to end. Joshua slid his tongue downward slowly, getting close to her opening. Just when she thought he would place his tongue inside her, he would move back up to her clit, and then slide his tongue back down, getting ever closer before suddenly placing his tongue within her, but barely. Linn cried out and arched her back at both the pleasure of his action and the pain of not being entered enough to satisfy her aching need. Joshua, responding to her movements, raised his head and slowly trailed his fingers up her body. 

Linn went to open her blue silk blouse which still clothed her, want to expose every inch of her body to this man. Joshua took her hands in his, lifting them above her head, pinning them to the floor as he leaned in and nibbled her earlobe, causing goose bumps to appear on her body. She heard him whisper “I want to undress you” and Linn closed her eyes, hearing the sound of thread ripping as he pulled open her blouse in one strong movement. He slid his fingers under the middle of black lace bra which held her ample breasts, undoing the front hook deftly with one hand.

Joshua uncovered each of her porcelain breasts in turn, making Linn quiver with anticipation. Lowering his mouth to her hard pink nipples, he traced the outline of each before taking them into his warm mouth, sucking just hard enough to pull them slightly. Linn cried out again, pushing her breasts further into his mouth for him to suckle on.

Reaching down, Linn wrapped her hands around his hard member, gliding her hand up and down in time with the movement of his tongue against her erect buds. Joshua moaned, pulling his mouth back. Air rushed between them, causing her moist nipples to pucker slightly.

Linn had never begged a man for pleasure before. Yet she heard her voice crying out ‘please’ as she gazed into the pools of his eyes. Joshua kissed her and she could still taste the salt of her juices on his lips. Running her fingers through his hair, she twirled her tongue around his as she felt him thrust into her hard and deep with his rigid cock. He held himself still inside her as they kissed passionately. Linn realised she had never felt so alive, that being here like this with Joshua truly felt as if their essence was joining and they were uniting into a single being.

Her fingers shifted from Joshua’s hair, trailing over his shoulders and onto his back. He began moving, her hips rocking to meet his every thrust eagerly, wishing his pulsating member deeper inside. Linn’s legs wrapped around him, preventing him from fully escaping her hold until she was sated. Joshua’s hand dropped to her hip, holding her and pulling her onto him, thrusting into her harder and deeper each time. Linn took his hand and entwined their fingers as he looked at her, their eyes betraying the connection they felt in this basic act between them. Once again their lips met, this time as Linn felt her barriers give way and her body explode with waves of pleasure. She arched into him, pressing every part of their bodies together so they could never be parted. Joshua moaned, feeling the walls of her prison moving against his rigidity liked waves on the rocks.

Joshua withdrew from the kiss, laying her gently back onto the carpet. He was close but not yet finished. He knelt beside her chest ad once again Linn took him into her mouth, savouring the taste of their union. His hands went to the back of her head, helping her to move in time with his needs. Joshua pulled back as he cried out, his cock exploding hot white fluid over her now flushed skin. Linn lifted her breasts in her hands, her tongue taking his essence into her mouth and ensuring not a single drop went to waste.

They lay in each other’s arms on the floor, laughing slightly at what had come to pass. As Joshua started lightly tracing patterns on her cheek with his fingers, Linn looked into his eyes maybe humans are useful for something after all.
