The Book
She sits in the back seat of the car. Damn why do I do these things to myself, she is thinking. You were warned, still hearing the words "Don't dally this time." still in her head, and the firm smack on the ass as a warning. She can feel his eyes on her at every stop. She dare look up. You kept him waiting again, she keeps thinking.
As they pull into the driveway he says "Look at me and understand. Go directly to the bathroom and take a bath. Be perfect I warn you." He exists the car and strides to the house.
She hurries to the house up the stairs and practically runs to the bathroom. Washing completely, shaving smoothly, checked for chipped polish, rubbing baby oil into the skin till its a nice sheen. As she exits the bathroom to the bed room tying her white robe, she stops unable to believe her eyes. Candles lit all over the room and red satin bed clothes.
He is sitting on the side of the bed back to her, she trembles thinking why can't I go into that book store and leave that book alone. The smell of the leather cover comes back to her mind. She pushes the memory away. His strong back is tense, she can smell his scent. She stands in front of him head bowed.
"Look at me." he says. She lifts her head. She can see his displeasure set in his jaw. "Did I not tell you not to dally this time?"
"Yes Sir you did," she whispers meekly.
"On the bed now!" she climbs on the bed kneeling in the center. She sees he is wearing only black silk boxers. He moves up behind her, pulls her robe off and tosses it aside. Taking two pillows and placing them in front of her, he pushes her down, her face and chest into the bed. The cool sheets feel strange on her hot tense body. She hears his breathing increase. Biting her bottom lip then her top lip she waits.
