“Wait by the bed. No, you need no covers. When we are together like this, there is no need for clothes. Your body is mine, my body is yours. We will be open. You will not speak until I join you, then … then my love we will see." He didn't say just what they would see. A hundred butterflies took up residence in her tummy, and a tribe of spiders crawled over her skin, sending every hair on end. Sure her heartbeat could be heard in the street below, Deborah hesitated before she straightened and put first one leg, and then the other onto the carpeted floor. The thick pile caressed her bare feet like a soft flail. She nodded.
It felt strange walking away from him, knowing her every move was watched and monitored. As she reached for the door latch his voice reached her.
"You are sure? Answer me." Oh for goodness sake. Is he trying to dissuade me?
"I'm sure." Deborah didn't wait to hear his response; she lifted the latch, the snick as it moved over the bar sounded loud in the quiet.
Her feet ...made no noise on the floor as she moved forward.MoreLess
