The week had been memorable so far. She had followed her gut and finally met a man....a man she had only seen in fantasies until then. He had captured her curiosity at first, although she couldn't quite remember why she had answered that one message on the computer. Must have been her instinct, or maybe just another one of his almost magical powers. From her curiosity he had moved on and captured her mind, and she knew her body also. For as long as he chose to use it, it was his for the taking in any way he wanted to.
It didn't matter why now, she quietly, and with a small smile, accepted that it was just where she was meant to be for this moment. That attitude had helped her survive bad times and she decided it was also good for good times.
Work had called and wanted her to go for an interview at a school she would really love to have. Four hours on calls getting info had been a distraction for a while, but now she could let her mind wander where it wanted to.
After a night of incredible discoveries, some of them realized, some just a seed planted in her mind by the things in the bag he sent home with her, she spent a day with girlfriends at the pool. They teased her unmercifully about the smile on her face, the gleam in her eye. She took the ribbing with a laugh, somehow feeling superior to them because they just had no idea where he had taken her and where she imagined him taking her some day.
Hounded for details she finally said "ok I will just tell you he is a gentleman......he showed me the restraints, and took the time to show me how to escape in case of fire and/or his heart attack. That is the most awe inspiring thing any man has ever done for me." They laughed, called her a freak and a pervert, then got a look in their eyes that told her they were glad for her, and envious.
She smiled from her very core and laid her head back down on the float, letting her mind wander back to the things she had done.....and the things she wished she would have done.
Making a mental note to Google "tie knots and how to undo them"(you had to be there I guess), she remembered that first kiss in the elevator. As the doors had closed and he reached and had drawn her to him, grasping her hair at the nape of her neck, she had realized that there was no turning back. He had kissed her, and she had kissed back like she had never kissed anyone before. Sucking his mouth and tongue as if it was the oxygen she needed to breathe. Feeling him touch the roof of her mouth and later wondering when it had become such a sensitive place.
Her mind and body seemed to leave her, as if detaching from all she had ever known and clinging to him and his strength.
