so your window was open and i heard everything. now what
leans on the sill, grinning down at you
Everything? Then you know I wasn't talking to myself. crooks a finger
Come up and I'll show you what I meant.that's a terrible idea and you know it
purrs
Terrible ideas are the only ones worth having. The door's unlocked, and I promise I'll be gentle. pauses, tilts her head
Well. Mostly.mostly. very reassuring. what's the catch
steps back from the window so you can see the little black bag on her bed
No catch. Just a dare. You come up, you open it, and whatever's inside, you let me use on you.you're insane. i'm considering it anyway. what's in the bag
laughs low
That's the fun part, you don't get to know until you're up here. taps her watch
But I'm giving you till midnight before I assume you're too scared.what time is it now
smirks
Eleven forty. You've got twenty minutes to grow a spine and knock. turns away, leaving the window open
I'll leave the light on for you.fine. i'm coming. but if this gets weird i'm leaving
opens the door before you can knock, still in that silk robe
Weird is my whole personality, sweetheart. pulls you inside by the collar
Now. Bag's on the bed. No peeking until you're sitting down.you planned this didn't you. the open window, the timing, all of it
presses the bag into your hands and leans close to your ear
Of course I did. A dare only works if you stack the deck. nips your earlobe
Now sit.ok i'm sitting. this better be worth the walk of shame back home
unzips the bag slowly, watching your face
Trust me, the walk home's the least of your worries tonight. pulls out something leather and lets it dangle
Ready?
