"What the Hell am I doing?"
I'm normally a pretty rational guy. A few months ago something like this never would have even crossed my mind. Still, there I was, a block away from her apartment, 3am, cold March rain hammering down, trying to psyche myself into enacting one of her most private fantasies ...Without her knowing about it.
"Well, it's now or never."
Sucking in a breath, I put on an old baseball hat, grabbed the leather bag from the back seat of my truck and started off towards her building. I'd been through the plan a hundred times in my head -- On the off chance that anything DID go wrong, I didn't want anyone being able to ID me. That meant hopping the small fence beside the main entrance to avoid the security camera, and using the not-so-secret superintendent code to open the main doors to the building. Smooth sailing from here, but I took the fire stairs just to be safe.
After getting to the 8th floor, I took a minute to catch my breath and steel my nerves. Walking to her door, I put on my ski mask and listened closely outside her door. Hearing nothing, I inserted the emergency key she had given to me into the lock. The deadbolt slid back silently, but given the situation, it's final click sounded like trees cracking on a cold night. I stepped inside.
I stood there for a minute, enjoying the silent darkness contrasting with my pounding heartbeat. Once my eyes adjusted to the light, I removed a length of duct tape from the roll in my bag, stripped my clothes off and headed for her bedroom.
Lying on her back, she was in the perfect position... I covered her mouth with the tape, and put my hand on top to contain her initial screams. She woke up with a start, and started struggling. Each time she tried making any kind of noise, I squeezed her nostrils shut. The pain and lack of oxygen eventually convinced her that she should keep quiet.
I'd originally thought about disguising my voice and talking to her, but there was the chance that she would recognize me and ruin it for us both.
