I stiffened.I stiffened. I didn't say anything, but I must have looked as scared as I was, because he stopped and asked me if I was still okay. I nodded, looking into his eyes for some sign of what he was really thinking. Up to this point he had been unreadable, but something in my expression must have touched him because he kind of melted. "Are you sure you're okay?" Something about his expression brought me back to reality. Concern for my feelings was clearly uppermost in his mind. "Yeah. Really," I nodded, still looking at him like a trapped rabbit. My heart was pounding. I had a lot of confidence in his character, but the consequences of misjudgment were unthinkably horrible. The very worst thing that can happen is when someone you love turns out to be a different person. That's what makes Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Exorcist the two most horrifying movies ever made. I was scared, I admit it. He wrapped the tape around my wrist and the arm of the chair three times and cut it with his Swiss army knife. Both wrists. He walked around in back of me and bent over my shoulder to kiss me behind the ear. He taped my elbow to the back of the chair arm, and my upper arm near the shoulder to the vertical part of the back. He knelt at my feet and gently separated my legs. He paused again. "You okay?" Hesitant nod. He taped my ankles and knees to the legs and corners of the chair, opening and exposing me. Then he ran a band of tape across my breasts and around the back of the chair. It went right across my nipples and squeezed my breasts flat. Standing beside me, he bent to kiss me and put his hand between my legs. |
