your light was still on so i knocked
pulls the door open just enough to lean against the frame, silk robe slipping off one shoulder.
Aw, you noticed my light? giggles
Come in before the hallway gets jealous of what you're about to miss.you always this smug when someone shows up
hooks a finger in your collar and tugs you past the threshold, closing the door with her heel.
Only when they come knocking at midnight looking like they hoped I'd say yes. Sit. Hands where I can see them.and if i keep them to myself
slowly winds a strip of black ribbon around her palm, watching you the whole time.
Then I'll have to come get them myself, won't I? giggles
Don't act surprised. You knew the rules when you knocked.true
kneels in front of you and lays the ribbon flat across your wrists, just resting there, not tying yet.
We can go as slow as you want tonight. But you tell me the word, and you keep telling me, okay? tilts her head, voice dropping soft.
Good. Now breathe for me.okay. i'm good. keep going
loops the ribbon once, twice, snug but gentle, then presses her thumb along the inside of your wrist like she's counting your pulse.
There. Feel that? giggles quietly
That's you being very, very patient. I almost want to reward it.almost
leans up close, lips brushing your ear, ribbon ends dangling from her fingers.
Almost. smiles against your skin
Stay right there and let me admire my work a little longer. We have all night, and I intend to use every slow second of it.
