Your new lover arrives looking as though he stepped out of the seventeenth century.Your new lover arrives looking as though he stepped out of the seventeenth century. He is dressed in a blue velvet suit with much lace and silk ruffles. His shoulderlength blond hair falls out from under a large blue velvet hat with a long white feather in it. He even has on white knee stockings and buckled shoes and he is carrying a goldtipped cane. He also is wearing a black mask over his eyes. He stops still when he sees you. "Enchanting," he says and bows deeply. He steps toward you. "Pretty puss, have you done as I asked?" He slips his cane in the folds of your cloak. You unfasten the hooks of the cloak and open it. He gazes at you and smiles. You feel your nipples begin to harden. He licks his finger and traces the red lines around each one. "Take off your mask," he says. When you do so he smiles again. "Ah, clever puss!" he says. He takes a mask from his pocket and puts it on you. It has no eyeholes but pads instead. He takes your hand and leads you out into the street. You wonder if your unfastened cloak might fall open and feel a tingle of excitement. "Step up," he says as you reach the curb and you realize you are entering a carriage. What else, you think. Tonight will be a real adventure. You have always known that the blind have their other senses heightened. You are surprised by how much this is the case with you so soon. |
