Knowing that I am alone this night, I prepare to pamper myself to a steamy hot bath. So heated that I must crack the bay window open above the tub. I repose myself into the sultry water while listening to the breeze coming into the window, as well as the noises from the night animals. They say that as of late, there has been a wild animal on the loose, killing farm animals and ransacking the town. But I choose to not let that burden me. All I can think about is unwinding, while having delicious thoughts about an unexplained occurrence that took place hours before.
At the farmers market earlier in the day, I routinely proceeded to my favorite vendors booth. I took in all the fragrance from the herbs, potions, and objects of every girls fancy, when I felt something lightly touch my neck. I felt a shiver down my spine, and uncontrollable quiver in my nether region. I turned my head sharply and there was not a person or thing behind me. But when I regained my composure, I saw a startling figure departing the market. It was what appeared to be a man in gentleman's attire, but I couldn't make out his face. I looked around and none of the townspeople had seemed to notice what had transpired.
As I settle into this bath I keep imagining that this creature turns his head towards me cunningly. He is part handsome, part beastly, and very other-worldly. I start to imagine him without clothing, but my breathe starts to become labored and my heart is racing. Before long, my hands have made their way down to explore the depths of my desire. I must stop. This is a silly school-girl fancy and I should be thinking about proper things.
