“I enjoyed our meeting,” he began.  “I’ve been thinking about you.”

Or the engulfing blackness of the blindfold sublime, and the tentacles of the soft cotton rope wrapping itself around her tingling body, utterly liberating?

How can she describe her deep gnawing need, and the soothing serenity that follows when her thirst is quenched?
