EDDIE MUNSON ~ Before I learned The Truth.

Shredding lessons

After our incredibly hot fucking session Eddie jumped out of bed to the kitchen, padding back into the room carrying a bag of frozen peas with a caring and soft expression on his face. "For your wrists." Eddie explained as he held the bag out to me. I thankfully took the bag and pressed it against my wrists; seeing deep red and purple marks circling them and a little swelling, it didn't hurt though. "Thanks, I'd say your neck could do with some peas too." I joked and felt a fuzzy but proud sensation inside when Eddie raised his hand to trace his fingers across the blooming hickey I'd left him with. "I'm sure I'll survive without," he winked then nodded towards his guitar, "Ready for your first lesson?" I nodded vigorously with excitement as Eddie pulled on some dark washed blue jeans with frayed hems and a slim fitting WASP T-shirt. He turned and carefully plucked his beloved instrument from the wall and plugged it into a small amp whilst I rummaged in the bag for my clothes and quickly changed into a red tank top and brown cargo pants. "So uh what're you gonna teach me first? Because I'd love to play some New Kids On The Block." I said with a straight face and a serious tone. Eddie's upper body did a slow twist until his flared nostrils and saucepan eyes were facing me, "You're asking me to teach you New Kids On The Block?" Eddie's tone was astonished with a hint of disgust and I burst out laughing, clutching my stomach. "Jeez dude, what did New Kids ever do to you?" I managed to ask between laughter fits, "I'm just messing, teach me real music." Eddie's shoulders visibly relaxed and he shook his head with an exhale and a chuckle. For the next two hours we on his bed going through the basics, which I already vaguely knew after studying my guitar heroes playing on stage, before he moved on to teach me some of our favourite riffs. Every time I took the guitar and played back to him what he'd just taught me, I caught an impressed glimmer in his eyes. Eddie watched me intently and broke the riffs down anytime I messed up or needed more help, which was quite a lot, but he genuinely didn't seem to care, he took his time showing me what to do and hyping me up whilst I practised. Eventually my fingers were stinging and were one more practise away from being torn to shreds so I hung the guitar back onto its holder with care. "That was awesome! Thank you so much, would you mind teaching me more sometime?" I jumped up and down with glee as Eddie folded his arms across his chest and grinned with all his teeth showing, "I'll teach you everything I know - your fingers are gonna hurt for a couple days though." He kissed the tips of a few of my fingers.

We ate lunch on the couch listening to more Black Sabbath when Eddie angled his body to face me, a noticeable blush sweeping across his face. "I had no, ummm, I didn't know you were into those kinds of things we did...it's really fucking hot though." Eddie slowly fumbled his words. I bit back an awkward smile and replied, "Well I was pretty surprised by you too actually." I crossed my legs underneath me and twisted to face Eddie so our knees were almost touching. Eddie did a nervous laugh and spoke without making eye contact with me, "Like I said, the kinkiest thing I've done is the handcuffs...haven't been with anyone who wanted to do anything harder. Always wanted to try more y'know, explore different things." I nodded along with him and rubbed my knee nervously, considering my response, "Me too - I mean I've tried a bunch of things that I'd love to do with you, but there's some other stuff I need to draw a line at, I just can't do them again." Even I noticed my voice changing as I spoke, alluding to my sexual encounters with Billy. For a few moments we sat in silence, both looking at our knees. Eddie finally cleared his throat and said, "Whatever your boundaries are I'll respect them, I promise Rain. I don't wanna hurt you, but I get the idea we're both kinda into a little pain with pleasure so, we should discuss how far is too far." Eddie was choosing his words carefully. "Yeah, we should." I agreed and gave him a small smile. Eddie visibly gulped before speaking again, "You've been through a lot of shit that I can't even imagine, but I promise I'd never do anything to scare or harm you Rain." I leaned towards him placing both my hands in his,
and looked into his eyes; the time had come for a long overdue conversation to be had. I swallowed and took a deep breath, closing my eyes for a second before saying, "You can ask me about it...I'll tell you everything."
