The first thing you notice when you open the door is that the bag I’ve brought with me is much larger than usual. As I set the bag down you can hear the click of glass, prompting you to ask, “What’s in the bag?” I simply smile and take you into my arms and silently kiss you. When we part, I take your hand and lead you over to the soft chair beside the bed. Slowly and purposefully, I remove all of your clothing and, after folding it, place it on the dresser. I smile as I gaze upon your nude form before extracting a piece of black cloth from my pants pocket. As I step closer you can see that it’s a blindfold. Stepping behind you, I quickly slide it over your head extinguishing all light, before guiding you down onto the chair.
Your vision obscured, you are forced to rely on your other senses. You can hear me walk away, and the clink of glass again as I pick up the bag and set it on the bed. You sit patiently in darkness as I move around the room placing objects at various points throughout the room, each placement is followed by a clicking sound which you realize is a lighter after the subtle scent of burning candles fills the room. Suddenly, my lips are pressing into yours once more and our tongues dance as they flit back and forth.
