Chapter 25: Hot Rails, Kiera's Feet
I walked for hours in the Arizona morning sun… I had to work today, but my shift was scheduled to close with Jocelyn. I couldn't do it… I decided to spend the day with Kiera. Upon arrival, I explained to Ariel how I couldn't bear to see Jocelyn's face.
"Are you serious? I was counting on you. You know my vacation starts today?" Ariel said.
I was surprised by her anger. "Vacation?… I'm sorry. Please, I just need some time off, a couple days? Stormy; my roommate just kicked me out, Jocelyn cheated on me… I feel like everything is falling apart…"
Ariel looked like she was about to fire me. She sighed and gave me some grace. "Fine. But you better be ready to work by the time I get back. 3 days. Is that long enough?"
"Yes, thank you so much."
I hung out with Gordo as he got the kids ready for their trip to California to see his family. After they left, I went inside to find Kiera grinning in the kitchen.
She smirked at me. "Wanna smoke?"
"Of course."
Kiera went to retrieve her stash, but I insisted that we smoke mine so she can save her stuff. She appreciated my thoughtfulness. We went inside Ariel's apartment-sized bathroom and turned on the blue light. Kiera played some 'trap music' on her phone with no lyrics.
"You think it's a good idea to be in here?"
Kiera scoffed. "What, using the bathroom? Relaaax. 3 days, remember?"
Three days indeed… I arranged my paraphernalia on the bathroom counter, but Kiera had something else in mind. She brushed her red hair back and pulled out a glass straw from her pocket and a torch lighter.
"You ever done a hot rail?"
"No, what's that?"
She grinned wickedly. "Set up some lines."
I did as I was told, dumping my biggest shard onto the counter. I put a dollar bill atop it to prevent scattering as I crushed it with a credit card. I divvied up two lines for us. A clean and organized work station. My eyes caught Kiera's pink toenails glowing in the blue light. My gaze traveled up her bare legs. All she had on was an oversized t-shirt that acted as a skirt. I thought of how Jocelyn became furious at me and Kiera hanging out. How stupid? We never even did anything… I remained faithful… Look how that turned out for me. Fuck, I'm worthless…
Kiera sat on the bathroom counter next to the lines and crossed her thighs. My eyes were fixated on her dangling ankle, bobbing up and down as she started torching the tip of the glass tube until it became red-hot. She brushed her hair over her shoulder, leaned forward and pressed the cold end of the glass tube to her nostril and hovered the red-hot part over her line. She snorted it then blew out a fat cloud of smoke from her mouth, dragon's breath…
I had never seen such an extraordinary thing. Never in Hollywood did they show something like this. My mind was blown. Inhaling glass, exhaling smoke? A ton of it too. Kiera looked to be in ecstasy as she leaned her head back, tilting her chest toward the ceiling and squeezing her thighs together. Her neck was moist with beads of sweat… I licked my lips.
She began re-torching the glass tube, prepping it for me. I followed her example and snorted my line. My nasal passage was on fire, literally melting from the inside. I felt the fibers in my nose splitting apart. I blew out a stream of crystal smoke into the bathroom mirror, watching it bounce off the surface and clouding my reflection.
"Whoo!" I shook my head and jumped up and down like a boxer preparing for a round. Kiera giggled at me and bounced her leg atop her thigh faster, up and down like a metronome.
The next few seconds I felt my mind shatter into a billion pieces. I never experienced a high like this before. I was sure that my eyes would pop out of my school and land on the floor. My throat felt like it was being squeezed by a snake. My heart pulsed 200 beats per minute and I thought any moment I could drop dead from a heart attack. My mouth was agape and would be drooling if not for my dehydration. I stretched my eyes open wider than they had ever been. Kiera's eyes were just as crazy.
"Another one…" Kiera said with a malicious grin. It looked like something evil had taken over her face, what I imagine a succubus's gaze might look like. Give me your soul, human. Yes, Domina.
I dumped the rest of my baggie onto the counter, dividing up the last of my stash into two lines. I had never done a line this big before. Kiera looked impressed that I was willing to go this far.
We took another hot rail, that thick cloud of icy smoke absorbing us. I basked in the rush, looking at my own rippled reflection in the mirror.
Kiera stretched her leg and pressed the top of her toenails against my chin. I gasped. She angled my chin toward her. I caught her evil grin once again and felt euphoria rush over me; love, passion, want, desire, acceptance… This is who I am. A fucked up drug addict, and finally I could admit it after everything fell apart. I didn't even care. I just wanted to…
Kiera rubbed her big toe down my bottom lip that was already agape. I didn't think it was possible for my heartrate to increase, but it did. She stuck her toe in my mouth, maintaining eye contact with me, those wicked eyes matching her crooked lips. She sucked in air through her clenched teeth as I tasted her toes. Strawberry lotion of some sort…
My eyes rolled into the back of my head. She snapped her fingers and my whole body twitched as my eyes shot open. She snapped again, telepathically commanding me to maintain eye contact with her as she stepped deeper into my mouth. The toes of her other foot wrapped around the back of my head and pulled me closer to her. She grabbed my hair and began a cruel laughter while her hands traveled down herself…
