Love Not Denied

by Heathen.

“…And the headless corpse was walking toward the kids through the shadows. As they stopped to compare the candy they got, the corpse moved closer. Suddenly they turned toward the sound… And the corpse GRABBED THEM!!!”

The group screamed as one, then started laughing in their own embarrassment. Carl laughed along with them, and then sent them along to enjoy the rest of the carnival. Lucy who had been watching from the fringes of the group smiled at her boyfriend. Carl loved kids and had readily volunteered to help with the ‘Haunted Plantation’ project that was sponsored every year by the local college.

The Leaning Oak plantation was a perfect setting for such a gathering. The Preservation Society was restoring the main house and this carnival was one of their fundraisers. The grounds were covered with centuries old trees, their branches spreading a canopy across much of the grounds. It was a spooky setting, perfect for the Halloween celebration going on.

Carl stood and stretched, then spotted Lucy. Thinking how lucky he had been to capture the beautiful girls heart, he waved her over to the ‘storytelling area’. She went over and wrapped him in a hug. “You sure scared those kids.” She laughed, “They won’t quit looking over their shoulders for a month.”

Kissing her forehead as he returned the hug he chuckled with her. “Well they asked for a scary story.”

They turned and headed to the front of the house to enjoy the other festivities that were going on. Most of the younger children had come and gone just after sunset and now the area was full of teenagers. They had proclaimed the whole thing as ‘lame and for little kids’ but their collective curiosity had overcome them and they were all enjoying themselves. They were playing the games, bobbing for apples, and dancing on the front lawn.

Carl and Lucy had grabbed some cokes and were wandering around arm and arm just enjoying each other’s company. The faculty sponsor Mr. Burke caught up to them as they leaned against the gigantic columns of the mansion’s porch. “Could you two do a sweep around the grounds? With the teens here now, there may be some couples sneaking off for a little time together in the bushes. And the stuffed shirts can’t allow that to go on.” Mr. Burke was one of the younger faculty members and the student appreciated his interest and attitude. That he was a ‘hunk’ certainly helped among the female contingent of the student body.

Carl took the flashlight and the couple moved off. The moon was bright enough that the flashlight was not needed so they strolled among the canopy of trees and bushes. They were about to turn back when movement in the bushes caught their attention. Sneaking closer they heard hushed voices.

“Come on Cindy, I promise I won’t touch it. I just want to see it.”

“That’s what you said last time. Then you tried to push your fingers into me. Then you wanted me to play with your dick. It squirted all over my favorite blouse, and I was sticky all the way home.”

“I promise I won’t do that. I just want to look”

“Oh, okay. But you remembered you wouldn’t touch.”

Carl and Lisa peered over the tops of the bushes into a small clearing. There was a blonde girl about 15 with long blonde hair that fell across her naked shoulders. She was topless, so her small breasts were highlighted in the moonlight. Her skirt was around her waist and her panties were mid thigh. She was kneeling next to a boy who was laying down, his cock showing through his pants. He was stroking himself with one hand and the other was reaching toward he girl’s pussy.

“Hey! You promised not to touch. I heard ya!” shouted Carl. The pandemonium that followed was straight from a movie. The girl gave a small shriek, trying to desperately cover her boobs with one arm, tugging at her panties with the other. The boy rolled over to hide himself and succeeded in knocking the girl over. In a flurry of tangled arms and legs, they were trying to cover up but not succeeding.

By now Lisa was laughing so hard she could not say a word. Carl got himself under control enough to tell the embarrassed couple to calm down and get dressed. As they did so, he told them that this was probably not the best place for making out, and that they had better get back.

“You ain’t gonna tell on us mister?”

“No, I am not going to say a word. Just be more careful in the future.”

The teens beat a hasty retreat. Lisa put her hands on Carl’s shoulders and looked into his eyes. “That was kinda mean, but it did give me some ideas” Then she stretched up and kissed him.

Carl leaned into the kiss. When it broke they were both breathless. Carl grabbed her hand and they went further into the woods. They found a clearing that was completely surrounded by thick undergrowth. It was here they stopped and once again stepped into a passionate embrace. They held the kiss only breaking it long enough to remove their clothing.

Falling to the ground their hands explored each others body searching for the areas that each knew would arouse their partner to even greater heights. Carl lay down on the grass and Lisa moved up his body until she was astride his waist. She reached down and aiming his cock, she slid down on him, her pussy seeming to devour him. She started to move up and down rapidly, and Carl caught her rhythm thrusting upwards. Their coupling was fast and within minutes, Lisa stiffened and let out a strangled cry. Her orgasm brought Carl to his climax and he cried out as he felt his release begin.

Lisa lowered herself onto him as they both struggled for breath. Carl stroked her back while they basked in the afterglow. Lisa turned her head and gave a startled gasp. Thinking they had been caught, he jerked his head to where Lisa was looking.

They saw two figures walking toward each other. The moonlight seemed to make them shimmer with a glow that was not real. They came together and embraced. They quickly removed their clothes and fell to the ground, still locked together. The couple was making love with an urgency that suggested their time together was short. There was no sound as the figures achieved their mutual goals but the look of rapture was clearly written on their moonlit shimmering faces.

Suddenly the man jerked and the woman looked as if she was screaming in terror. The man rolled to her side. She then reached for him and slumped over his form. Then they were gone.

Carl and Lisa had been frozen in their places as this scene played out before their disbelieving eyes. As the other couple vanished into the gathering mists, the spell was broken. They hurriedly dressed and ran back to the house.

The couples went into the old house and up into the attic where all the old archives of the plantation were being stored. Lisa found an old book that looked like a diary. It belonged to one of the daughters of the original owner of the plantation. In it they found that her older sister had fallen in love with a young boy from a neighboring farm and that their father had forbidden them to see each other. He even went so far as to send her sister away. On the eve of her departure the diary’s owner followed her sister as she snuck out of the house. The younger girl described watching the scene exactly as Carl and Lisa had witnessed it. However the father had found the unlucky couple and in a fit of rage, had shot the young man. The bullet had passed through the man’s body and into his daughter, killing them both.

Lisa sat the dairy aside. The date of the entry was October 31, 1859. “I think,” she said slowly, “that we saw the young couple coming back to fulfill their love. Just as they did all those years ago. Even in death, love that strong is a love that cannot be denied.”

Carl lifted her up and held her. “And so it shall be with ours as well, my love.” He gave her a kiss and led her back down to be among the living once again.

End.
