Hannah is around five foot tall with perhaps and inch or two to spare, but not much more than that. Her hair falls around her face in waves of blood red curls, something from a bottle. Her eyes are a bright green, her lips are pale pink and her form slim. She's standing in a doorway at the moment, staring into the night sky out the door, watching it quietly. She doesn't want to leave the safety of her porch, where the light pushes back the darkness, but the cool night air helps her think, helps calm the racing of her heart.
For years she has corresponded with James, a friend of hers from Ireland. They had started emailing and chatting on instant messenger after their first meeting in Ireland, during her vacation after high-school. Her head swam from the rum and the conversation. It had started out innocently enough.
DarkCynic01: Tell me what you're thinking?
SweetTart04: Hehe, wouldn't you like to know?
DarkCynic01: Wouldn't have asked, doll.
SweetTart04: Mmmn. Well.. I'm in a mood!
DarkCynic01: What sort of mood?
SweetTart04: Lets just say that if I had a dom, I'd be being bratty just to get spanked.
DarkCynic01: Would you?
SweetTart04: Yes!
DarkCynic01: Would you like me to punish you, pet?
At first she had been taken aback by this idea. James was her friend, had been for years. There was attraction there, but it had always been somewhat latent. Now, however, is blossomed in her stomach, her toes curled. The red headed woman's fingers shook, and she didn't know how to respond, not at first. She worried over her lips and finally responded.
SweetTart04: I thought you weren't into that sort of thing?
DarkCynic01: If you knew my qualifications, you'd want me to do this.
SweetTart04: I need to AFK.
SweetTart04 has left the chat.
Hannah fled her office then, ended up on her front porch, staring out at the night sky. An owl hooted out in the trees somewhere, some sort of rodent rustled in the fallen leaves. The pitterpatter of rain slowly started and then grew louder, causing Hannah to close her front door and step back into her small house. Her bare feet sounded so loud pattering against the wood floors of her home as she was drawn like a magnet back to her office, to where her computer still sat on. Disconnected from the internet, but there... waiting for her.
She was just about to sit back into her black leather computer chair when the shrill ring of her telephone made her jump. Hannah scampered over to the phone and picked it up, answering breathlessly, "Hello."
"That wasn't very nice of you, pet." Came the soft sultry voice of James, causing her insides to clench with appreciation.
Instinctively Hannah responded with, "I'm sorry."
A soft chuckle greeted her, James murmured, "Don't say it, show it, pet."
"Why.. Why are you doing this?" Hannah asked tentatively, almost fearfully.
"Because I care for you." Was the almost annoyed response, as if it should be obvious to Hannah. James continued, "Because I want you to be happy, and I know doing this will make you happy."
Hannah worried on her lower lip, moving to the living-room and settling down uncomfortably on her couch, her knees drawn up against her chest. A soft whisper given into the phone, "Are you... Really?"
