- Part III

- Michael came back to consciousness to find himself erect
- against the aging oak, the rough bark pressed into the tender skin of
- back and buttocks. His arms had been drawn carefully back and tied
- with some sort of cord, maybe vines. She was standing in front of
- him, smiling that bright smile again. He was still dizzy.
-
- "I have a question for you." she said.
-
- "Well, I have a lot of questions for you!" Michael began to
- bluster. He was suddenly terrifyingly, exilharatingly sure that he
- would not be seeing his girlfriend, his job, their apartment or her
- rats again. Now that he had been stripped of his clothing, he felt
- oddly free to gaze his fill, and his eyes drank in the curves and
- planes of her body, broken only by a patch of flaming hair.
-
- She seemed to enjoy his gaze, continuing to smile as she
- watched his eyes watching her. Then she spoke agian.
-
- "What do you want?"
-
- Suddenly time seemed to still and thicken so that Michael
- had all the time he needed to remember: the days of college when he
- and his friends, self-proclaimed geniuses, would stay up till
- dawn promising to see the world and taste its women in wide open
- fields and hot dark rooms; the clarity of nights without sleep as he
- talked and fucked and laughed with a girl with wide dark eyes who'd
- left him when once he slept too late; dancing naked in the rain, all
- alone. But closer was job, cats, safety, overpowering fear, and the
- love of a woman probably still asleep back home. And now he knew how
- much he loved her after all, so much more than either of them had
- ever thought. So that he almost said, 'to go home'. But he'd gotten
- too much sleep lately, it seemed.
-
- "You." he answered, suddenly certain, suddenly sure.
-
- And then she was laughing above him as she reached out and
- sliced apart the bonds with impossibly sharp fingernails. The women
- surrounded them, touching them everywhere it seemed as her skin slid
- against his ready body and she bent to kiss his neck. That was the
- first and only pain, a sudden sharp tearing though he did not scream
- as he worshipped her with strong limbs and violent burning thrusts.
-
- Somehow she managed to say just then, "Only that, beloved,
- for the right answer" before rising to meet him, her red hair falling
- around him in streams of blood and fire, their long red nails raking
- down his back. And so Michael rose to ecstasy, fully conscious,
- fully clear that nothing, nothing could be beyond this.

- Hours later, they had long since bathed the last traces away,
- and they were once again beautiful in the moonlight. The wildness had
- faded for a while, sated by that long orgy in the sunset splendor of
- fallen leaves. The blond women were dancing slowly and langorously in
- the outpouring of the full moon. On Diana's face was something
- that on another might be mistaken for regret; but he had been lost
- from that first moment, after all. And then she joined them in their
- dance, and it grew wild once again.

- Note: Some may claim that Diana should have been virgin; but I don't
- have much faith in the virtues of virginity.

- We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in
- filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it
- run over, so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which
- makes the heart run over. - James Boswell
