Samhain: Benny *SAMHAIN: BENNY* *By GILDA LILY* The tangy scent of woodsmoke Pierces the crisp air As the leaves whisper their secrets On this night of nights. The Mother's symbol shines More brilliantly than a thousand suns. Chants throbbing in the autumn darkness As silken cloaks slip softly Along hallowed ground. Tiny voices drift from the country lane The rattle of orange bags Combining with the flapping Of Witches' garb and ghostly cotton. The trees rub their limbs Together, entwining with Gay abandon As an owl cries. Can you feel the magic In the air tonight? Ray stands before me Green eyes ablaze With sparkling passion. I reach out a hand And touch a bare shoulder Under soft silk. The robes part And he stands there In all his Roman glory. My heart's beat quickens As the chants grow louder. Long arms draw me in, Holding me close, Our cocks rubbing together, My body shuddering As the flames grow higher. Warm breath tickles my ear, "Don't be afraid." I nod, thanking the Goddess That She has given me This holy lover. The bonfire is ringed By the fruits of the harvest: Plump pumpkins and fleshy, Yellow gourds; shiny, Red apples and hard, Brown nuts. My hand touches him. He moans softly, Arching into my grasp, Long, lean and bronzed Like a Roman soldier With a steel-hard strength. I tremble as if A sweat lodge encloses me, The chants of the Inuit Mingling with our own. His lips upon mine Burn like the hottest flame, His fingers sending jolts Of molten fire down my limbs. Gasping, my chest heaves As he pushes me to my knees, His cock brushing my cheek And I turn my head, Blindly seeking, My tongue tasting velvet heat, My mouth wrapping him in joy. With a gasp, his hips thrust Filling me with swollen love. I grasp slick thighs Marking him with my fingers. He pumps, the chants growing louder, My ears ringing as I feed. Oh, Goddess! He pushes me away, Manhood dancing Before my eyes. With a growl I am swiftly turned, Legs yanked apart. Sweat eases him in As I cry aloud, Fingers digging in rich earth. *"Don't taste it, Benny!"* I smile at the mental words Flashing across my fevered brain. I groan, rocking with him As he pounds with fury, A man driven wild by lust, His blood beating with mine own. The burning scent fills my mind My body one with his. The chants spiral upward To touch the Lady's moon As Ray touches me... Deep inside. I shudder, my seed spilling To soak into the ground As his spills into me. The voices give a joyful shout As we seal together, The Jack O'Lanterns' grin Melting into mine. I am Ray's. (*GILDA LILY*) (*9/27/97*) Return to the Due South Fiction Archive
