Lost in a Good Book

A hardbound book with leather bindings that was left on a couch catches her eye. Miyuki picks up the book, it appeared to be very old. There are symbols that she does not recognize embroidered into the leather and a message, that had mostly faded a long time ago, was written across the top of the book:

Vous avez vu ce livre. Maintenant, il te connaît.

Vous avez touché ce livre. Maintenant, il peut vous trouver.

Jamais lu ce livre.

Si vous lisez ce livre, il peut vous toucher.

The first few pages were hand-written what appeared to be Latin, as she flips through the chapters the language transition to what appears as French and into some more recognizable Middle English until eventually progressing to currently day English. The first page Miyuki is able to read is about the romantic encounter told from the woman's first-person perspective named Elizabeth in 1569 where she loses her virginity. The following encounter was again with Elizabeth dated years later but this one was much more explicit within the actions and description involving a tall, dark, and handsome stranger.

The rest of the chapters were about similar romantic and erotic encounters each more explicit than the last. As Miyuki continued to read she noticed the pattern to the stories. Each of the chapters were handwritten in the early entries having faded with age. They would always start with the first name of the heroine in the chapters and a date. They were always written in first-person and could have possibly been mistaken for a diary entry. The language used seems to be consistent with the date at the beginning of the chapters. The flow of the stories always featured a pair of chapters on the same heroine.

The first chapter was always romantic retelling about how the heroine lost their virginity.

The following chapter, usually dated years later, was always a much steamer sexual encounter with a tall, dark, and handsome stranger where the heroine surrenders to the lust and passion of the moment. Miyuki found her cheeks becoming flush as she skimmed through the chapters quickly. She was starting to feel turned on and almost tempted to touch herself. While the woman's names changed every two chapters and the dates and setting become more current, the description of the tall, dark, and handsome stranger in the second encounter stayed consistent making it seem like it was the same person throughout the book. In some of the accounts, the authors make use of the name Monsieur Je Ne Sais Quoi. Miyuki taking full advantage of her speed reading ability consumes chapter after chapter, begins to look forward in anticipation to each heroine's second chapter. Wonder how each will meet the mysterious Monsieur Je Ne Sais Quoi, and how steamy the encounter will be. She reads through the book quickly enjoying each chapter more and more, getting more aroused as she reads about each encounter. All the time noticing how close to the end of the book she is getting with a little lament that it is about to end. She had just finished reading an encounter that left her touching herself as we read it when she turned to the page to the final two chapters.

She froze when she turned the page. The first thing she noticed was the chapter was written in Japanese Hiragana. Second that it was her name in the title. There third and perhaps the most unsettling was it was in her own handwriting.

Curiosity overriding her concern, she began to read the first chapter which had the correct date, and told a detailed account of her first time. Details that no one should have been able to know. It even included small details that she had forgotten. The colour of her dress. The song on the radio. It also had more intimate details of her personal thoughts in the moment that she never shared with anyone. Not only what it in her handwriting, but it was also to her realization in her own writing style as well. Reading the first-person account of her first time, writen in her own handwriting, in her own words. A bead of sweat started to form on her brow as she tried to make sense of what this could mean.

While her head was spinning with the possible implication, her eyes glanced done at the beginning of the following chapter. The final chapter of the book. It was dated two months from now. She hesitated and almost closed the book. Her heart was starting to race. With a mixture of fear and lust as she started to read, in her own handwriting, a first-person description of her exotic encounter with the tall, dark, and handsome stranger.

The chapter started with her having gone to a bar after attending a conference. She had just ordered a drink with he walked in. As soon as their eyes met she just knew that she needed him. Would do anything to be with him. Do everything with him. After talking for hours they headed back to his hotel room for a night of passion. As Miyuki read each word the fear subsided and she began to feel her arousal building. The encounter was written in long expected detail about everything they did, and every sensation she felt. She finished the chapter and closed the book.

She paused a moment unsettled by what she had just read. Trying to make sense of what she had just read. Trying to rationalize how someone could have know the details of her first time, trying to shake the thought of the final chapter. Wondering how it could be in her handwriting.

She opens the book again and re-read the second last chapter again. Then she turns to the last chapter and froze. The date had changed to one month from now. Confused on how she had made a mistake on the date she starts to read the chapter again. Only it is no longer the same. Along with the date, the encounter had completely changed. The beginning is similar enough, she was attending a conference and considered going to the bar. She, however, instead decides to go to the hotel pool and soak in the hot tub. It is late, the night sky is clear and peaceful, she is initially with several other people at the pool. As it gets later, the last couple leaves, leaving her by herself, the calm night air, and an amazing star lite sky.

It is at that point in the story that he comes out of the pool, having been swimming laps, and warms up in the hot tub sitting across from her at the opposite end of the hot tub. The tall, dark, and handsome stranger looks across and smiles at her. This time the connection is instant and electric. She takes the initiative and seductively swims over, looking deep into his eyes. He knows from her expression what she wants. What she needs. They begin to make out passionately right there in the hot tube. She gives into her desires and the few pieces of clothing they are wearing are quickly discorded. The added exhilaration of doing it out in public with the risk of being discovered only adding to the divine pleasure she is feeling. The story continues becoming much more erotic, the acts and positions more adventurous, and the description more explicit. She is flushed and breathing heavily and continues to read the story. At some point without realizing it she starts to touch herself. First massaging her nips before sliding her hand down between her legs. By the time she is finished reading she had pulled up her dress and had her hand down inside her soaking wet panties. Her arousal building towards a climax the arrives just as she fixes the chapter. Still feeling aroused and lustful, she tries to straighten out her dress putting down the book, as she adjusts her dress she bumps the book and it falls closed on the floor.

She focuses on slowing down her breathing and tries to calmly think about how the story could have changed. Look down at the book laying on the floor, to cautiously picks up the book and opens it to the final chapter. The story having been burnt into her brain, somehow knowing each word by hears, as if she had been actually there. She looks down at the chapter. The date has changed again. It now one week from today.

A chill runs down her spine. As she read, the tall, dark, and handsome stranger appears in the doorway, as soon as she sees him she knows it is him. She knows what they are about to do and she earns for it. The acts this time are even more explicit, she doesn't care about anything but being with him at that moment. They don't even find a room they just begin kissing and stripping off their clothes right there in the room where they meet. Her initial fear gives way to curiosity and then her increased arousal as she reads about the acts that she does with the tall, dark, and handsome stranger. Miyuki restraint from before is gone and she is touching and playing with herself as she read. She brings herself to orgasm twice before the end of the chapter. She is flush and full of a mix of arousal and adrenaline once she finished the chapter. She closes the book and puts it down on the reading table as she recovers. Staring up blankly up at the ceiling she tries to understand what is going on. Not only the strange book with the change chapters with her name in it, but also her reaction. She had just masturbated in a library and orgasmed three times within the last hour. Even more than that, she was more aroused than she could ever remember being, it was like just with through puberty all over again in the span of a minute. Her nipples were still hard and erect. And more than anything else, there was an overriding need for her to have sex.

That is when she realized she had closed the book. Realized what that could mean. Not sure if it was lust or curiosity driving her forward, likely both, she opens the book and turns to the final chapter. It has changed again. It now shows today's date.
