Electra's Lotus
by Kitty (kittykfed69@mail.com)
***
A young couple fall in love in a war torn country, after
he saves her life. (MF, 1st, v, rom)
***
The locals were on pins and needles, they knew that
their world was about to be torn apart. Some of the
people started to flee the city, and move out to other
surrounding towns that would allow them to take refuge.
Others were in denial, and refused to leave their lives
that they had worked so hard to establish.
Electra was the oldest sister of 3 siblings. Her mother
and two younger siblings fled the city. Electra was only
18 years old, but she stayed to be able to make as much
money as she could, then she would join her family, once
things started to get really bad.
Her father had been killed a few years ago by a random
act of violence. Her mother was not able to work due to
a back injury. So that left Electra as the only one who
could work and take care of her family.
She had a very good job, working for a local business
man. He was in the importing and exporting business.
Electra did the accounting and payroll, and he paid her
very well which was rare for a woman. She was grateful
for the job, and did her very best every day, regardless
if she was exhausted.
Zavier was the nephew of the owner. He was 21 years old
and also was paid very well, and had been trying to work
up the courage to ask Electra out on a date. His dark
brown hair was buzz cut and he had a goatee. His
gorgeous light jade green eyes, were his best facial
feature, but his smile was just as alluring. He was a
strong young man and could lift 100 lbs easily. He was
about 6 feet tall and had a small to medium build.
The first time he met Electra, he was in love. She was
stunning. She had the darkest deep brown eyes he had
ever seen. Her eye lashes were long and naturally thick
and black. She never wore any makeup that he could see,
yet she had this healthy glow about her.
She had her dark black, straight hair, always tied up in
a bun, but he could tell her hair must be long, by the
size of the bun. He would picture her with her hair
down, flowing over her bare shoulders, covering her
naked breasts. He had beat off to the image of this in
his head many times.
She mostly wore baggy clothes all the time, covering
most of her bare skin, but he had caught glimpses of her
curvy body when she would stretch or lean over to grab
something. She was slim and had very nice curves. He had
been pining for her for the last few months that she had
worked at his uncles office. He just never could find
the words to make his move.
Electra had a natural fear of men. She had seen much
violence in her life. Her father use to beat her mother,
when she was a little girl, and she also suffered a few
beatings at the hands of her father.
After his tragic death a few years ago, she became the
caretaker of her family. She started to work out every
day, and strengthened her body as much as she could, to
be able to defend herself in this dangerous environment.
Now that she was living alone, she was even more
cautious and alert.
Electra had noticed Zavier looking at her, she was aware
that he was attracted to her. She thought he was very
handsome, and was also drawn to him. He had the most
alluring light jade green eyes she had ever seen. They
were hypnotic, and she tried to avoid eye contact with
him, as much as she could, but when she did make eye
contact with him, it felt like he was staring deep into
her soul.
This worried her, she was not the type of girl who
wanted to be married and controlled by her husband. She
refused to let her fate be with another abusive man,
like her father, who would try and force her into
submission. She rather just be alone, if that was going
to be the case. But a young beautiful woman, alone, in a
town like this, was not a very good idea.
That morning she caught the bus to work. Things in the
town seemed eerily quiet, there were not as many people
out in the streets. Usually things were very hectic in
the mornings, but today almost seemed like a holiday.
She made her way to the safety of the large concrete, 4
story tall, office building. A few associates were
already there working. She walked over to the break room
and poured herself a cup of fresh coffee, then made her
way to her computer. She sat down and sipped on the
coffee, as her computer booted up.
Zavier walks by her on the way to the break room. He
says to her, "Good morning Electra," as he does every
day. She says "Good morning Zavier." Everyone is a
little on edge, there has been gun fire in the streets,
and tension is rising.
A few hours go by, and Electra is down in the basement,
looking for some files that were requested by a very
important client. Zavier later also makes his way into
the basement, for more packing materials for the
shipping department.
Suddenly, an extremely loud explosion rocks the
building. It felt very close, and it catches both Zavier
and Electra by surprise. They both jump and scream.
Zavier hears Electra's scream, and calls out to her,
"Electra! Where are you?"
She runs out of the file room, and out to the main
basement area. Zavier runs up to her, and grabs her by
the hand, as another extremely loud bomb goes off, very
close to their building.
He pulls her with him, to the corner of the basement. He
knows this is the most sturdy corner, because it is in
the deepest part of the underground structure. They sit
down in the corner together, and hug each other. He
holds her close and hugs her tight. He has dreamed of
holding her in his arms for months now, but not exactly
in this kind of setting. Zavier begins to pray out loud
for protection.
Another bomb explodes, the building and floor below them
trembles, and they heard loud bangs from the floor
above. Then the electrical power goes out, and they are
in total darkness.
Zavier pulls out a small flashlight, that he has on his
keychain, and turns it on. He places it on the floor
pointing up at the ceiling. It dimly illuminates the
area around them.
Electra starts to cry and says, "I should have left with
my mother, why did I stay here?" Zavier tried to console
her, "It's not your fault, you were just trying to take
care of your family. You're such a brave woman. I love
that about you."
Electra looks into his beautiful jade green eyes. He
meets her gaze, and gives her a small smile. Then he
gently wipes the tears off of her soft cheeks. She puts
her head against his chest, and he hugs her close to
him.
The bombs continue to drop for hours, but they are still
safe. It sounds as if the building above them has
sustained considerable damage, but the basement is still
intact.
Hours later, they are both exhausted, and stressed out.
Things start to quiet down as night falls. Zavier and
Electra get up, and begin to try and find a way out. The
door to the basement, has been barricaded shut, with
fallen rubble, and they are not able to open it. They
are trapped.
Electra begins to panic, but Zavier remains calm, and
assures her that help is on the way. He tells her by
morning, there should be someone trying to dig them out.
They sit on the floor together, against the wall, and
talk.
He says, "It's really nice to be able to spend time with
you, even in this setting." Electra smiles, she feels
the same way. Then he asks her, "Has your mother
arranged your marriage as of yet?" She says, "No, I told
my mother that I refuse to be married."
Zavier raises his eyebrows, this is quite unheard of.
Most beautiful women are married off to the wealthiest
interested party, so that family can benefit. He says,
"It's not safe for someone as beautiful as yourself to
be alone in this city." Electra just looks at him with a
serious face. Then she says, "I am aware of that." She
swallows hard, and Zavier can see her nervousness.
He puts his head against the wall, and thinks to
himself. 'She is such a rebel, how I would love to tame
her.' He closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath trying
to calm his sexual urges.
It doesn't help that they are all alone in the dark
basement sitting right next to each other with their
legs touching. He grabs his semi hard cock over his
cotton work pants, rearranging it quickly, and tries to
make it calm down.
Electra puts her head on his shoulder and takes a deep
breath. He puts his arm around her and hugs her close to
his body. She leans in towards his warm embrace, and
puts her head on his chest. After a few minutes they
fall asleep.
***
Early the next morning, they are awaken by the sound of
more bombs. This time, it sounds as if they are farther
away from them. Electra is very uncomfortable and says,
"I have to use the bathroom so bad, where should we use
the bathroom?" Zavier gets up and grabs her hand. "Come
on, let's walk over to the other side of the basement,
and you can just squat in the corner."
Electra is very uncomfortable with this idea, but she
had held in her urine for as long as she can stand it.
It is dark, so at least he will not be able to see her.
She says to him after he leads her to the corner. "Okay,
I think I can handle this on my own. Will you please go
back to the other side of the room, I don't want you to
hear anything."
He agrees to give her privacy, and carefully walks over
to the other side of the room. He sits down and waits
for her. She does her business. Then after a few
minutes, she walks back over to the other side, and sits
down next to him.
Zavier is starting to worry that they really are trapped
inside of this basement. His stomach growls, and he
starts to crave the most delicious foods that he wishes
he had right now.
Electra hears his stomach, and she also realizes that
her stomach is painfully empty. She says, "I wish I
would have brought my lunch box down here with me
yesterday. I packed some freshly made hummus, and
tabouleh salad with pita bread." Zavier said, "Ummm,
that sounds delicious." Their mouths start to water, as
they talk about their favorite foods.
Bombs continue to explode in the distance, as the hours
go by. They talk, to pass the time, and learn quite a
lot about each other. Then Zavier finally gets the
courage up to tell her that he has very deep romantic
feelings for her.
"Electra, the first time I met you, I was captivated. I
have been wanting to ask you out, in hopes, that you
would be, my..." he stopped himself, remembering how
strongly she felt about marriage.
She was touched by his words. She had also found herself
thinking of him in that romantic way, but she was too
focused on taking care of her family, and put those
thoughts and fantasies aside. She admitted. "I would
have liked to date you, but I just don't see when I
would have found the time between work and my family
duties."
Zavier said, "Sometimes you have to put yourself first."
She knew he was right, but she rarely ever did anything
for herself, she selflessly gave everything to take care
of her family.
She curiously asked him, "If I would have said yes to
your invitation, where would you have taken me on our
first date?" Zavier said, "I would have invited you over
to my parents home for a family dinner. Then taken you
out to my mother's garden, as the sun was setting. We
could hold hands, and watch the sun set, as we talk
among the roses."
His words were so sentimental to her, and she loved the
idea. She said, "That sounds lovely, I would have like
that, very much." She smiled. He boldly reached for her
hand and held it. They felt a spark between them, and at
that moment their friendly relationship, turned
romantic.
Suddenly, a very loud explosion rocked the ground under
them. Dust and Electra's screams filled the air. He
covered her body with his, and tried to protect her from
falling debris. There was now a large hole at the other
side of the basement where they could escape. More bombs
loudly crashed down, and they huddled together. She
started to cry, thinking that this could be their final
moments alive on earth.
He was also thinking the same thing. He knew that if he
was going to die, that he at least, wanted to kiss her
soft full lips, that he had dreamed of, for the last few
months. He gently lifted her head with his hand, as
tears ran down her face.
It was quiet for that moment. The dust was starting to
settle and it was slowly starting to get darker. He
wiped her tears and said, "Electra, I want you to know
that I love you, I have loved you since the first moment
we met. If we never get out of here, I at least want to
know what it might feel like to kiss you."
He leaned into her soft full lips, and pressed his lips
against hers. The passion was extreme between the two of
them. She kissed him back, as if this was the last kiss
of their young lives.
They slowly started to open their mouths, and engaged in
a very hot and passionate open mouth kiss. They
continued kissing as he cautiously let his hand rub on
her back and down to her tiny waist.
They were both starting to get very aroused by this
passionate kiss. She softly moaned as she felt him
touching her body. No one had ever touched her like this
before, and it felt immensely erotic. Hearing her soft
moan really aroused him further, and he was rock hard
before too long.
They slowly pulled away from each other breathless.
After about a minute of trying to catch their breaths he
said, "That was the best kiss, I have ever had." She
smiled and hugged him tight. It was actually her very
first kiss ever, and it had her quite shaken and
aroused.
They stayed quiet, and held each other as the minutes
passed. An hour later, it was dark and there were no
more bombs heard. He decided that this was the time to
flee. He said to her, "I want you to come with me to my
family's home. I don't think you should be alone out
there."
She knew he was right, but said, "I couldn't
inconvenience you like that." He said, "No please, I
can't let you go out there alone." She said that if he
would go with her to her home, so she could get some of
her things, then she would go and stay with him and his
family. He happily agreed.
They walked over to the other side of the basement and
carefully crawled out of the rubble. When they emerged
from the dark hole that they had been in the last couple
of days, they were stunned. The city was very damaged.
There was gun fire heard in the distance.
He said to her, "I don't have a good feeling about this,
please, let's just go to my family's home, and we will
get your things later. She agreed, then they walked
through the dark streets quickly.
Many of the homes in the area were damaged, but his
family's home was still untouched. He saw a light on as
they approached. He walked up to the door and tried to
open the door with his key, but it would not work, so he
banged on the door. His older brother Zamir opened the
door, holding a semi automatic rifle.
Zamir was very surprised to see him and said, "Zavier!
Where have you been? We thought you might have been
killed. Mother will be so relieved to hear of your safe
return."
He quickly pulled them inside and they retreated to the
center of the home. They sat on the floor, on a few
pillows, and Zamir brought them some fresh fruit and
water.
Zamir glanced at Electra, and asked Zavier, "Who is your
friend?" Zavier was so hungry and thirsty, that he
forgot to introduce Electra to his older brother. Zavier
said as he tried to swallow his bite of orange.
"This is Electra, she works with me. We got trapped in
the basement, and her family has already fled the city.
I didn't think it would be safe for her to be out alone,
and told her she could come and stay with us."
Zamir agreed that she would definitely not be safe in
this kind of situation all alone. He had sent his wife
and children out of the city with his parents, and hoped
that they had made it safely to their relatives home a
few cities over.
Zamir said, "We should go under cover of darkness. You
two eat, and then we need to be off, before the bombs
start again in the morning." Zamir looked at Electra who
was dressed for her business job. He knew that this
would make them a target traveling with such an
attractive young woman. He went to the closet and pulled
out one of his mothers burqas.
He handed it to Electra and said, "Please put this on,
over your clothes. If anyone asks, along the way, you
and Zavier are married." She took the burqa, and put it
on over her clothes. Zavier and his brother packed a few
things. Then they all got into the beat up hatch back
and started the dangerous journey.
Electra laid down in the back seat of the car and fell
asleep. It was the most comfortable sleep she had in
days.
Zamir and Zavier talked as they drove. Zamir asked, "So
is that the young lady you told me about?" Zavier smiled
and said, "Yes." Zamir said, "You're right, she is
stunning. You should make her your wife. You would have
beautiful children together."
The thought of Electra being his wife, made him go into
deep thought. He would love to marry her, and would
greatly enjoy getting her pregnant with his child. He
wondered what it would be like to make love to her. The
parts of her body that he got to touch earlier, felt
amazing, and he tried to picture what she must look like
nude.
Suddenly his thoughts were shaken, as they approached a
security check point, at the border of the city. Zamir
rolled down his window. The man asked him for his
surname and the name of the relatives in the town. One
of the men recognized Zamir, and they were allowed to
enter the city.
Once they reached the home of their relatives, Zavier
woke up sleeping Electra. She sat up and rubbed her
eyes. Zavier pulled the chair forward, to help her get
out of the backseat, and grabbed her hand, to help her
get out of the small car. They grabbed their things and
went inside. Everyone was already asleep, it was very
early in the morning. Zamir's older cousin was awake and
let them inside.
Zamir was led to the bedroom, where his wife was safely
sleeping, with their children. Zavier and Electra could
only sleep in the living room on the floor since
everyone was already asleep in the other rooms. She took
off the burqa and folded it, then placed it on the side
table.
She sat down on the floor on some pillows, and Zavier
sat down next to her. He said, "We will try to locate
your family tomorrow if you like." She said, "Thank you
Zavier. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your
help. I don't think I would have made it out of there
safely without you."
He smiled at her, "I am glad that I was there to be able
to help you." They laid down next to each other, but in
separate beds. They were both very exhausted, and fell
asleep quickly.
***
The next morning they woke up to the sound of little
children laughing, and women in the kitchen cooking,
talking and laughing. Zavier's mother came over to him
and hugged him, "Oh my baby, I am so happy to see you, I
thought you might have died in the bombing."
Zavier hugged his mom tight. "I know mama, I am very
lucky to be alive." Electra sat up and rubbed her eyes.
Then Zavier introduced her to his mother. "Mama, this is
Electra, we were trapped together in the basement of the
office for two days. Her family had already fled the
city, so we had to bring her with us, to get her out
safely."
Zavier's mother turned to Electra and said, "Oh my dear,
I am so glad that my son was able to help you. It would
have surely not been a good thing for you to be all
alone on that trip. You are welcome to stay with us as
long as you need to." Electra was very grateful for her
hospitality and said, "Thank you so much."
Electra was given a fresh change of clothes and a warm
bath was drawn for her by Zavier's mother. While she was
bathing, Zavier's mother said to him. "You have deep
feelings for her, I can see it in your eyes. You must
ask her to marry you. She is stunning, and I can tell
that she has a very good soul." Zavier smiled at his
mama. She always could see things that others couldn't.
"Yes mama, I plan on asking her, I just don't know if
she will accept."
A huge breakfast feast was prepared for everyone, and
was laid out on the long dining table. Electra came out
of the bathroom feeling very refreshed and clean. Zavier
had also had a shower, and felt much better.
He noticed how beautiful she looked, she was glowing. He
smiled at her, and she couldn't help but smile back. He
walked over to her and said, "You're so beautiful. Are
you hungry?" He handed her a plate and said, "Help
yourself."
Everyone served themselves, and sat down to enjoy the
delicious food. Everyone talked and laughed, it was such
a warm and happy family. Electra started to wonder about
her own little family. She hoped that her mother and
younger brother and sister had made it safely to the
next town over. She started to worry and thought, 'What
if they didn't make it? What if something bad happened
to them?'
Zavier was sitting right across from her, and could see
the worry on her face. He said, "Are you alright? What
is it?" She said, "I am worried about my family. I have
to go see if they made it safely to my aunt and uncles
home in the next town over." Zavier said, "Don't worry.
As soon as we are done eating, I will take you to go and
find them."
Sure enough after they were done, Zavier and Electra
along with his brother Zamir drove to the next town
over. They found her uncle's home and drove up to it.
They followed her up to the door. Her old uncle answered
the door, "Electra, Hey! It's Electra." Everyone was so
relieved to see her. Just as Zavier's mother, they had
also thought that she had surely been killed.
They invited her in, along with her two male companions.
Electra introduced everyone to each other. Her mom gave
her a big hug, and also thanked the two men for helping
return her daughter to her. Zavier knew that she would
be staying here, and he was sad to see her go.
They asked the two men to stay for dinner as thanks for
returning Electra home safely. They agreed to stay.
Zavier and Electra went out to the garden behind her
uncle's home, with her two younger brother and sister.
He sat next to her on the porch swing, as they watched
the younger children play together.
He said, "Electra, The last few days with you have been
an adventure." She smiled and agreed. "Yes, it truly
has." Then he continued. "I am sad to leave you now, I
wish that you could always be by my side."
He looked at her, and she looked up and into his eyes.
Then he said, "I would be honored... if you... would be
my wife." She was surprised, flattered, but yet still a
little reluctant.
She knew that he was a very kind, protective, and loving
man, and she really was starting to have deep feelings
for him, but that fear of being controlled and
manipulated by a man, was still in the back of her mind.
She was quiet, and this made him nervous. He said, "If
you need time to think about it, I will understand. I
can come back to visit you in a few days, and you can
give me your answer then, if you like."
She looked at him, then she remembered that kiss that
they had shared in the basement. If she was to ever get
married, Zavier would probably be the best man to be her
husband. He had already practically saved her life.
She said to him, "I don't need to think about it. I
would be honored to be your wife." Zavier was so happy.
He thought for sure she would have turned him down. He
held her hand, and then pulled it up to his mouth and
kissed it.
He said to her, "I promise that I will do everything I
can, to give you a happy and comfortable life. I will
take care of you, and love you." She smiled, as she
looked into his eyes. She could tell that he was
sincere. She wanted to kiss him again, at this moment,
but it was inappropriate.
That night at dinner, Zavier stood up, and made the
announcement to Electra's family that he had proposed to
her, and she had accepted. Everyone cheered. Electra's
mother never thought her daughter would find love,
because of her past experiences. She was so happy for
her that she started to cry, and wiped her tears as she
clapped and cheered.
Electra's uncle brought out some wine, in celebration of
the newly engaged couple. Then he gave a toast of good
luck to them.
After dinner, Zavier and his brother had to head back to
their home. Zavier told her that he would be back in a
couple of days with engagement gifts for her, and her
family. It was the traditional thing to do.
***
The next day, she found herself thinking of Zavier all
day long. She missed him so much. She thought about how
quickly her life had changed, over the last couple of
days, and how much more it would soon change in the
future.
She was worried about what would happen to her mother,
and younger brother and sister, after she was married.
Her uncle said that they were welcome to stay with him,
this made Electra feel a lot better about things.
Zavier's family would also be giving them some money and
other expensive gifts, in exchange for them giving
Electra to Zavier in marriage. So her family would be
well taken care of.
Zavier's uncle, who owned the building that had been
destroyed by the bombings, was moving and merging his
business with another, and would be opening his business
in a few weeks, on the north coast of Turkey.
He offered Zavier a position as shipping manager, and
offered a very generous salary, and would also pay for
very nice housing along the coast. It was a dream job,
and he knew that would give him plenty of money to
provide a very comfortable life for him, and his soon to
be, gorgeous wife Electra.
He thought about her all the time, and still couldn't
believe that she had said yes to his proposal. His
family was so happy for him, and they began planning and
getting ready for the wedding.
***
A few days later, Zavier traveled alone to the next city
over, to visit Electra and her family. He brought gifts
to her family. It was custom. There was gold, jewels,
expensive oils, incents, as well as homemade delicacies.
After they ate a delicious lunch with her family, Zavier
and Electra, went out to the garden. He told her about
his new job, and that they would be very well taken care
of. She was so happy for him, for them both. They would
be married very soon, and it couldn't come soon enough
for Zavier.
No one was around, and the sun had almost disappeared
over the horizon. He pulled her close, and gave her a
very hot passionate kiss. They slowly pressed their lips
together, and the passion burst into each of them, like
a fire had just been re ignited.
They yearned for each other. She pulled back her lips
just enough to say, "I have missed you so much, all I
can think about is you." He said, "Me too, I think about
you all the time. Don't worry, soon we will be together,
and I will never let you go."
He pulled her close into him, and gave her a very sexy
open mouth kiss. He slowly let his tongue slide over her
hot juicy lips. This really aroused her, and she made a
soft moan. She opened her mouth slightly and he could
taste her sweetness.
He felt himself getting very aroused. This was taboo,
and was against custom. He had to keep the custom, so
that their marriage would be blessed with good luck.
They were breathless, and she softly wiped her mouth as
she looked into his eyes.
He smiled at her and said, "You are one hot little
flame." She blushed and smiled at him sweetly.
