She sleeps lightly, easily woken when I move which makes me feel bad sometimes...she will go right back to sleep, snuggling tighter against me only to ease back as the tension leaves her as she sleeps again...I marvel at this, along with other things about this lovely woman who chooses to be with me all this time...so I watch her sleep, drifting off as I hear her steady breathing, and feel content...

Watching a movie while laying behind her and playing with her to orgasm is such a nice way to spend an evening...she might even pay attention to it when we play that same movie again!

She's not away from me very long before I miss her...she "lingers" here, makes me smile when I think of her close to me, knowing that the acceptance of each other, no matter what differences of opinion or who we are, is automatic...

She doesn't excite me, that is...there's an expectation when I know she's coming over, that smile, that mass of hair, all the stuff she has to pile in my livingroom from work...it always makes me smile, and I can't wait to take a deep kiss from her...it doesn't matter that we have a plan other than what we'll decide to eat, winging it with her is the greatest thing as neither one of us is in a hurry to do anything but share our closeness..She doesn't ask for much, and I don't demand much...it's nice...

     It's always fun to watch the emotions running amok across her face when we get ready to play...that "I don't know what to expect" look is the best one as she gets the cuffs on her wrists and ankles first...we've been putting ear plugs in lately, makes her focus more on what is happening to her instead of trying to decipher what she hears...always blindfolded and gagged she might as well lose her sense of hearing with them...

     Black stocking over the head, ball gag tightly in place, hood the last thing as I knot it behind her neck...clipping the cuffs together behind her back, a rope winds through a D ring on them keeping her arms about a foot behind her back...lacing another length of rope through her armpits and around her back, the ends are knotted to the eyehook at the base of the bed, pulling it until she can neither lean any farther forward because of her wrists cuffs or move backwards. The ankle cuffs are tied to either side of the bed frame with a length of rope, keeping them widely apart...

     I bought her a new toy recently, it's just long enough that it fits completely inside of her making it easy for her to sit on any surface with it not causing discomfort...sliding it inside of her, I turn it on high, watching the reaction it causes with a grin...

     Being a newbie of sorts, she's not acclimated to strong nipple clamps at this time so we use some lightly sprung plastic clamps...I put another set of clamps on the ends of those, vibrating as I turn it on high, and let them dangle as she moans uncontrollably...

     The Hitachi takes her by surprise, I reach in with my fingers and play with her lips for a few seconds before snugging the ball of the vibrator under them, feeling it touching the base of the vibrator inside of her...

   She howls in pleasure as I turn it on the low setting, rocking her hips back and forth over it in a measured rhythm...I wait for about 30 seconds and then turn the toy on high...

     I think we're going to have to seal her lips with either tape or wrap, as she comes repeatedly her sound level gets higher and higher as she gyrates upon the toys...turning off the vibes at random, I let her breathe for maybe 20 seconds or so and then turn them on again, knowing that it wasn't enough time between stopping and starting for her to come down very far...she never knows how much time has actually gone by while she's up there, and is always surprised at how long it actually was...always making it longer for her each time is what the goal is...

Rope in hand I watch her strip, the bright yellow waistband of the thong slowly peeling down off of her thighs...she kicks her foot towards the already high pile of clothing and looks into my eyes with that shyness and anticipation stare that I've grown accustomed to...

"Hands in front, palm to palm", I tell her, she immediately does this as I find the middle of the rope and wrap it around her wrists in opposite directions...knotting it tightly several inches above her palms, I look up to see her watching me with a look that tells me she knows that she can't reach the knots...I smile slightly, telling her to turn to face away from me...reaching in between her legs I pick up the two ends of the rope, pulling them through the crack of her ass...with the friction of her cheeks holding the rope, I wind one end around her waist to the right, the other to the left, bringing them back behind her to the top of her cheeks again...winding them around the two pieces coming up between her legs, I knot it loosely, reaching between her legs to move the ropes to either side of her slot...pulling back towards me I watch for her hands to come into view and stop when her fingers dangle just below her clit...tightening the rope at her waist in the back, I look again to make sure her hands haven't moved any lower or higher, running my hand over her asscheeks gently, watching the goosebumps start as I hear a small moan escape from her lips...

Turning her to face me, I pick up the thin cord and wind each piece tightly around her breasts, watching them turn a deeper shade of pink as the knots keep the windings tight...lightly brushing each nipple with a fingertip I'm rewarded with a sharp intake of breath and a bit of squirming into each finger...

The penis gag is next, she opens her mouth obediently as I push it deep inside her mouth, buckling it in the last available hole in the strap, insuring that it's tight against her lips and not about to be pushed off of her face...the small noises are coming with each exhaling of breath now, her eyes slightly closing as she looks at me...

"Up on the bed, on your knees"...as she makes her way onto the bed I grasp an ankle to stop her movement towards the head of the bed, having her spread her legs slightly while maintaining her balance on her knees...running my hands over her asscheeks, I let my index finger run over her clit from behind, hearing the sharp intake of breath through the gag as she rocks her asscheeks back and forth to keep in contact with my finger...

Picking up the crop, I lightly flick the edge of it across the swells of her cheeks at the edge of her crack, side to side and them vertically, catching the softness of the bottom of each cheek as I swing it upward...grunts emerge from her mouth as she's getting more aroused by the crop's attention, then more moans as I lay the crop flat on her ass, running the leather over each reddened area slowly...she gasps as I turn the crop sideways and slide it between her legs and over her clit, she involuntarily spasms a leg as I find the button with the leather's edge again and again...turning the crop end for end I rub the leather covered handle through her lips, making contact with her clit...back and forth a half dozen times and then pulling it down to lightly spank her button with the side of the handle, watching her as she clenches her toes, the moans getting louder and more ragged...

She stiffens as I say "I want you to finger your clit, slowly, VERY slowly...if I see it's too fast I'll flog you very hard, and I think you'll enjoy it for only a very brief time before you beg me to stop...so slowly, hmm pet?"
I can tell that she's been on the verge of an orgasm when I gave her that command, hearing the moans ratchet up and get louder as she rubs...pickup up the flogger I stand back far enough for the tips to swipe along the swells of her asscheeks, an aroused moan forcing it's way out of the gag with each blow...

Increasing the amount of the lacing that hits her ass, I keep it as a slow pace while also keeping the blows at a gentle amount, back and forth across each asscheek in time to an unheard rhythm...stopping every minute or so I reach over to run my hands over her increasingly reddening asscheeks, knowing she's about to pop with what she's doing with her fingers...

The sudden harshness of the flogger's blows make her scream softly into the gag, fingers stopped for a minute as this new sensation sinks in...she remembers what she is to be doing and starts rubbing again, tits bouncing up and down making her even more aroused with each movement...I step up the tempo of the blows, always stopping after a minute or so as I see that she's getting to that point where it's unbearable...

"Okay, would you like to cum?" I ask her, watching her fingertips appear and disappear between her cheeks as she rhythmically runs them over her swollen clit...she nods with a breathless gasp in response to my question, moving her fingers faster...as she cums she tries to straighten up but finds that her bound wrists won't allow much movement forward, and almost falls on her face on the bed with the spasms hitting her pussy...getting her balance back, she trembles as another orgasm builds after the last one, knowing I won't stop until I hear moans of exasperation emanating from the behind the gag signalling that she's had enough...but we've only just begun....

Sitting on a stool next to office chair, we kissed...we can't seem to stop kissing for long, lord knows it's hard enough to just walk away from each other without touching...
I slid my hand into her sweater sleeve, slowly pulling it off of her arm, repeating this on her other arm and pulling the garment off over her head...tossing it to the floor, I pulled her to me, fumbling with the clasps on her bra (guys, remember how much fun this has always been? LOL
Letting my hands slide down her arms slowly as I pulled the straps off, it finding it's way onto the sweater on the floor...
I use thin sash cord for breast tying, long enough to wrap around 5 or 6 times...she loves this no matter how tight I tie it, and it IS tight, turning her tits a slight purple almost immediately...lifting them in each hand and running my thumbs over the nipples I'm rewarded with a small moan as they start to grow taut...
The stocking over her head next, pulling it down until the toe is flat on the crown of her head, pulling it back up to unmash her nose so she can breathe easily...blindfold next, the kneesock in the stocking, wadded into a big ball and knotted in place in the hose, she obediantly opens her mouth as I push it deep inside, tying it tightly behind her head...I caress her face for a second, running my fingertips along her collarbone as she moans once again...
I unfasten the button on her jeans, she stands as I unzip them, running my thumbs along the top to move them off of her hips and slowly down her legs...reaching for the cuffs I pull them off of her legs and add them to the clothes pile...I can't help myself, I have to run my hands up her legs starting at her calves and moving slowly upward, moving them around to her asscheeks, lightly squeezing each them smacking them harshly with my palms flat...taking a nipple into my mouth, she moans loudly as I suckle on it, letting my teeth lightly bite on it, then taking more of the mound into my mouth and sucking harder as I pull my head away from her chest...
Laying her down on her back on the bed, I pick up first one foot and then the other, removing her socks and kissing the sole of each foot as I hold each leg by the calf...picking up the white fishnet stockings, they're slid on each leg quickly...
Cuffs next, each wrist and each ankle receives one, fastening right ankle to right wrist, repeating this for the left...
She loves the wooden backscratcher I have...shaped like a small hand, the edge of the fingers fairly rough, they make her moan loudly as I drag it across her clit..the lightest touch makes her squirm, I smile as I move it downward over the swelling nub...
She jumps in surprise as the flogger comes down on her right breast...about 4 times in a row, first the right and then the left breast, not using a lot of force as the tips hit her nipples in a quick rhythm...I smile as I pick up the vibrator, seeing the buds already standing at attention from the flogger's leather ends having done their work...
Two toys are usually all I need to make her lose her mind, occasionally the anal vibe gives her enough stimulation from all 3 going at once, alternating the speed and use of each one...she never knows which one I'll turn on or off, or when...
The penis vibe slides in easily by this time, ribbed in just the right places I'll turn it full circle inside her for a few seconds to get her going...finding the pulse setting and moving it back and forth in her slowly, I hear her start to get more and more aroused by it's touch...
After what seems about 30 seconds of this, I tell her to lift her legs...the angle of the toy changes, making her grow more excited by it's movement...picking up the second vibe and turning it on high, I piston the first toy in her faster and faster, listening to her excitement build quickly from it...
Sensing she's just about there, I touch the second toy against her clit, rewarding my with a scream behind the gag as she bucks and twists on the bed from the first orgasm in the string...they come repeatedly, three, four, five in less than two minutes, each one punctuated by what sounds like a small series of cries only to be followed by the next one rapidly...she never realizes just how short a time it's actually been, or how quickly they come on top of the one before...
Stopping, I have her put her legs down, moving the toy slowly in and out of her as she comes down a bit...I'll leave the toy inside of her, running my hands up and down her legs, across her stomach and back along her hips lightly...running my fingertips down the angles where her legs meet her trunk, the area still sensitive, she bucks as they near her clit...
We repeat this for about a half hour each session, her being alert and wide awake always seems to turn into her needing to rest, usually I'll tire her out enough for her to sleep...she falls asleep in my arms while I hold her, lightly stroking her to bring her back down from the high she loves so much...

She had called yesterday, 6 times, in fact! The errands she had to do were done quickly in anticipation of coming over, she had to wait impatiently for me to get mine done. I called her, she arrived within 30 minutes, bringing the handcuffs she was curious about. I sat her on the couch and put them on her, watching as she twisted and pulled on them in front of her. Yes, she found out they DO chafe a bit, but she said leaving them loose on her wrists would be okay. I laced my fingers into her hair at the back of her head, pulling down while her face tilted skyward. She gasped as the other hand found her nipple thru the tshirt she was wearing, instantly growing hard at my touch. For a minute or two, she moaned as I fondled her, then I led her into the bedroom by the cuffs, and had her sit on the bed, stipping while wearing them...a pair of opaque white thigh highs lay on the bed beside her, a kneehigh, and a hood. I took the cuffs off of her so she could slip off the shirt and don the stockings. I instructed her to sit on the bed facing slightly away from me hands behind her. The custom made cuff "belt" wound around her waist, the cuffs attached at the small of her back were locked with her wrists in them. Picking up the kneehigh, I pulled it down over her head, the toe all the way down to her crown. She enjoys this feeling of her head and face being squeezed in the material, I noticed her breathing getting a bit ragged from the excitement and anticipation.She wasn't aware that I had the harness ballgag ready until I popped the ball into her mouth, buckling the strap in back. The second strap, under the chin, made her whimper a bit, and the one over her head made her start rocking on the bed, moaning as she moves her crotch against the material. As I slid the hood over her head, she sat stockstill while I laced it tightly at the back. Moving my hand over her gagged mouth, she orgasmed immediately, screaming into the hood as I pushed the ball deeper into her mouth, and leaning into my chest. I put the collar on her, making her lay down on her back on the bed, and attaching a rope thru the ring in the collar, I fastened the other end to the headboard. I slid off the bed, grasping her ankles and pulling her down until the rope on the collar was straight to the headboard, but not dangerously so. The eyelet in the bed's frame at the bottom of the bed held another rope with which to tie her ankles together, but not yet...Picking up her favorite vibrator, I turned it on it's lowest setting, hearing her whimper as I rubbed it along her trench, already glistening with her arousal. It slid in easily, seating firmly inside. Her ankles came together as I wound the rope around them tightly, the tautness of the rope keeping her from moving up or down on the bed now. She enjoys being bound and left...not physically left, but to lay and enjoy her bondage. So I picked up my book, popped in a CD, and read for awhile. It's very hard not to be distracted by her moanings, and occasionally I'd touch a nipple, run my hand along her thighs so she knew I was there.20 minutes or so into it, I reached over and turned the vibe on high without warning. She screamed into the gag, bucked on the bed as the shock hit her, and came quickly. I turned the vibrator down again, read a bit more. It went like this for the better part of 2 hours, each time she came quickly, very intense...sometimes sucking on her nipple when I turned it up, sometimes putting my hand over the ballgag thru the hood...sometimes just tracing lazy circles around a nipple in between, making sure I had her attention, not knowing just when the next one was coming...and to make sure she had MY attention, she would do her best to buck up and down on her toy, knowing it pleased me to see her move in her bonds...

A lazy day, watching you move around the place, straightening up, some slight cleaning...you find me looking at you with that look, smiling as you come over to me..."what are you thinking, Master?"..."I'm thinking that I'd like to see you totally bound, totally helpless, and watch you squirm for my enjoyment..."You bite your lower lip as you say "how do you want me, Master?" "Strip"...I say, you immediately pull off your top, bra, kick off your shoes and socks, then the jeans...as you're down to your panties, I stop you..."need those to keep the toy in, hmm? I'll let YOU decide which one..."You almost run into the other room, gathering up the bag of rope, several gags, some toys...returning, you lay them next to me..."Ok, turn to face away from me, on your knees..."You feel the ropes tightening around your wrists first, then one around your elbows, the winding in between them bringing them closer together...I reach around to cup your breasts in my
hands, lightly kneading, pinching the nipples as you lean back against me...stopping, I turn you around to face me, still on your knees, and picking up another cord, I lay it around the back of your neck, one side winds around a breast, I pull it very tight, knotting it above it. Repeating this with the other side of the neck rope, the remaining end of it tied to the other breast rope, pulling your tits together..."Comfy?" I ask, pinching each nipple as I smile at you, watching your eyes close, your breath quickening as I play with them...clamps next, you sharply inhale as they seat on your nipples, I raise the connecting chain, watching the nipples stretch upward for a second, then release it..."Okay, stand up..."I pick up the favorite toy you chose, a large penis vibe, pulling aside your panties and rubbing the tip along your slot, over your clit then back down again...tilting the tip upward, I slowly slide it inside you, once again rewarded with a
slight intake of breath, this time coupled with a small moan as I push it all the way inside you...reaching for another rope, I fold it in half, winding it around your waist, inserting the ends thru the loop, then turning it around so the loop is at the small of your back...reaching in between your legs, I bring the two ends up thru your slot, the rope on each side of your clit but over the panties, knotting it tightly at your waist, grinning as I see the outline of your clit thru the material..."Oh, and one toy for me, too" I say, opening the waistband of your panties and pushing the egg vibe down to nestle against your clit, the panties and crotchrope holding it and the vibe inside you right where I want them...Another rope, cinched tightly around your knees, another around  your ankles..."On the floor, sweets"...you comply, laying down on your stomach...I hogtie you, your heels almost touching your asscheeks as I knot the rope tightly...Running my
hand over your ass, you moan, slightly wiggling in your bonds..."Oh no, we're not quite done yet...Picking up the harness ballgag, I push the ball in your mouth, the first strap pulling it deeply inside...the chin strap next, followed by the one over the crown of your head...next comes the hood, you obediently lift your head as I slide it on, keeping your head off the floor as I lace the back tightly, conforming to your head...You feel my fingers at your feet, the thin cord winding around your big toes, knotting them together...fingers again felt, this time at the ring on the top of the hood, you lift your head as you realize I'm going to tie it to the rope from your toes...bent into a slight bow, you test your bonds a bit, wriggling from side to side, hips moving back and forth as you realize you're tied so tight, only I can release you, you're not getting loose on your own...Turning you onto your side, I reach in for the cap on the big vibe, turning
it on it's middle setting...the egg next, same amount of vibrating, than pulling you back onto your stomach...Running my hand down over your asscheek, then grasping a foot lightly..."Have fun, sweets...show me  you're a good girl and I'll reward you even more in awhile..."
Returning from a nearby room after about 20 minutes, I watch quietly as you move on the floor...you've turned onto your side, knees and hips moving back then forth as if to scoot across the floor...I grin as I realize you're working the vibes back and forth to get them to hit you harder...a rhythmic moaning escapes the hood, lost in your own space as I lay down on the floor beside you...you jump as you feel the chain on the clamps move, then moan louder, trying to scoot up against me...I slide my left arm under your head, reaching for the knot on the hood ring and undoing the rope tied to your toes...still hogtied, you move up against me as my fingers of my right hand find the cap of the vibe inside of you, turning it on high, then doing the same with the egg vibe on your clit...you scream in pleasure as this new assault hits you, straining in your bonds, breathing ragged thru the hood...The clamps come off as I sense you nearing an orgasm, again
screaming into the hood as the blood flows back into each nipple...I wait for a minute or so, enjoying the feel of your bound body up against mine, then bend my head to suck on each nipple in turn...Stopping, I pull you closer to me, your head on my arm, my right hand moving over your hip, down your thigh, then around to your asscheeks as you squirm against me...

The early summer air just warm enough at night to keep the windows slightly open wafts thru the screen into your bedroom...only the silken nightie adorns your body as you sleep on your stomach, left arm under you...the sudden dip of the bed, then weight on your lower back as you awaken, feeling a hand over your forehead, lifting your face as you open your mouth in surprise...the ball jams in between your teeth, you find yourself trying to spit it out as you writhe under someone as they grab your right hand, then reach under you roughly to pull your left out...as your hands come together at the small of your back, you get the ball dislodged, gasping for air, then letting out a small yelp as you feel your hair at the back of your head tightening as your head is lifted again..."DO NOT spit that out again!" he hisses into your ear as he once again pushes it in behind your teeth...he has an iron grip on your wrists as you feel the rope encircling them, very
tight as he cinches it between them...the weight moves slightly, still on your lower back as you feel his chest against your back, then the hood sliding down over your face, snuggling up against your cheeks...quickly lacing it at the back, it tightens against  your chin, you try to push the ball out again but the hood prevents it..."up on your knees!" this command punctuated by a pinch on your inner thigh as you struggle to wiggle up onto your knees...an arm at your waist helps you comply, you feel the rope going around your waist, then savagely pulled between your lips and tied tightly at your middle...hands wiggling, fingers trying to reach the knots, to pull the crotch rope up to try to loosen it, you feel his hands suddenly on your asscheeks, moving up and down them as you squeal into the hood and try to move away...stiffening as his fingers find their way in between them, your breathing changes to ragged arousal as they rub your lips lightly,
index finger pushing inside of you, rotating for a minute as they move in and out...as he removes it, he traces a pattern on your ass, the dampness turning cool as the breeze finds it...the dildo, larger than you thought you could ever accept is slid inside you swiftly, so swiftly that you gasp, feet coming off the bed arched to their limit as you spasm inside...the weight moves off the bed, then seconds later you feel a hand on your forearm as he pulls you onto your side...grasping your ankles, he pulls until you're sitting on the edge of the bed, another rope tightening around your legs just below the knees..."we're going for a little ride...don't cause me any trouble and you'll find yourself safely back in bed before no time"...grabbing a breast, he hauls you up off the bed by pulling on it, another squeal at this assault escapes your gagged lips as he leads you out of the room...when you sense that you're at the front door, you begin to pull back,
knowing how you look, almost naked, tied, breasts flopping unfettered...you feel both of his hands on your breasts, he finds the nipples, taking each one harshly in between his fingers and pulling you out the door...stopping on the sidewalk, you hear a pickup's tailgate open, then you're moved against it, the edge of it cold on your lower back...grasping you under the armpits, he lifts you onto it, then pushes you back until you fall on your back, scooting to get away from his touch...the tailgate closes, you hear his voice next to you..."go ahead, sit up and attract attention...it's 3am, no one will see you"...he laughs as you moan in exasperation, gets into the cab and starts the truck...you start swaying on the bed of the truck as it moves out of the driveway and down the street, head reeling as you wonder where you're being taken.....
 
The ride takes about ten minutes, seems like hours to you as you lay bound and gagged, unable to do much more than struggle feebly in your bonds...the truck stops, you hear the door open and close, then quiet...you fidget a bit, knowing he's looking at you, then squeal in surprise as his fingertips brush your breast...Opening the tailgate, he grabs you by the ankles, pulling you towards the back of the bed on your back...reaching for your breasts again, he pulls harshly forcing you to struggle to sit up on the edge of the tailgate, legs dangling down...he laces his fingers into your fiery red tresses, pulling downward to tilt your head up, exposing your throat...fingertips move under the top of your nightgown, moving the material under each breast, then the feel of his lips on your neck, your collarbone, the valley between them...you stiffen, trying hard to not let him hear your moan of pleasure as his lips kiss your skin gently, but find it hard to keep
it inside...his tongue moves over your nipple, this gentle assault only makes them harder in the open air as he takes first one, then the other into his mouth and lightly sucks on each for a minute or two...The rope falls away from your knees, he reaches down and grasps your ankles, lifting to set them on the tailgate, spreading you wide open to his gaze...his fingers move up your shins from the tops of your feet, over your kneecaps and down your thighs...moving around to the back of them, he reverses his probing, fingertips raking along the skin as the goosebumps follow them...his hand pushes against your chest, willing you to lay down on your back, his hands move to your ankles again, spreading them even farther apart...you jump as you feel his tongue on your clit, licking rapidly, then slower, then quickly again, reaching in to rub his fingers over it, then batting it back and forth, then changing once again...your legs move closer together, lifting
your feet, you place your knees over his shoulders as he licks, heels digging into his back as if to push him farther in between your legs...cumming rapidly, he licks for a few minutes longer, then straightens up and steps back...
Seems like seconds since you started coming down when you feel your ankles grasped, again he pulls you towards the edge of the tailgate...reaching under your arms he lifts you squealing off the gate, setting you on your feet...you feel the dirt beneath them as he grabs a nipple in his hand, pulling you forward...you walk gingerly, loving the feel of the nipple being pulled yet apprehensive that you'll stumble...a different feeling under your feet, blanket material softens the ground as he stops you, pushing you to the ground...
Running his palms over your hardened nipples as he lays down beside you, you turn towards him as if to offer them to him...feeling the cold plastic of the dildo pushing against your opening, you lift your leg up to spread them farther as it slides easily into your wetness again...he doesn't hesitate, but quickly moves it in and out rapidly, watching as you race to another climax, moaning repeatedly thru the hood as each shock hits you...he watches as you squirm, smiling, then slowly pulls the toy out of you...You feel him grasp each ankle, lifting your legs skyward as he moves between them, guiding his cock into you slowly...with a rhythmic pounding he fucks your helpless body, reaching down to pull on your already tender breasts as he pistons into you, within minutes emptying into you...staying all the way inside of you for a minute, he slowly pulls back, enjoying the feel of you surrounding him...seeming like forever, you finally feel him stroking
your thigh, up and down your leg, inside the thigh, over your asscheeks with a gentleness that makes you feel drowsy...suddenly, he grabs you by the biceps and pulls you to a standing position once again...leaning against him as he pulls you close, his hands roaming your back slowly, again onto your asscheeks, under them as if to lift them, lightly squeezing...He leads you back to the truck, lifting you in once again, tying your ankles this time, and getting into the cab...Turning the key, he drives slowly out onto the pavement again...Up the sidewalk and stoop in front of your house, leading you to the bedroom and laying you down on your bed, onto your stomach...he fondles your ass, then loosens the ropes around your wrists..."keep your hands behind you" he whispers into your ear as he unties the hood's laces, slipping it off of your head as you lay face down...you're not sure exactly when he left, hearing nothing but the breeze coming thru the window
again...and suddenly you remember to take the ball out of your mouth...but you don't, it's too soon, and besides...he may come back for you...
