Proverbial Woman, Chapter 2, Part 1

But we have our reasons for holding back as we sometimes do. To carelessly give up a part of myself and expose the very essence, the essential core of our spiritual center, would seem as if I’m going against the law of nature itself. Though I must admit, it is a rare find to receive this level of intimacy and consideration in a man’s touch.

If I were to subject myself to that degree of transparency, I would probably have to be willing to surrender my will. And that would be something that I would really have to consider. To be honest with you, to have this done to me all the time, I would be like mush in your hands.” I added, suddenly noticing myself exposed. “Are we done?”

“Why? Do you feel like you’ve been totally massaged?” he asked, peering into my eyes.

“It depends on how you define totally…” I answered, feeling a little mischievous.

“I’m going to put that one on the back burner. Now can I ask you a question?”

“Sure. Go right ahead.” I answered.

Gazing into my eyes with a nervous grin suddenly spreading across his face, he slowly proceeded. “Keeping in mind what you’ve just said, I personally think you are prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve satisfaction on your terms.

“I don’t know. Are you?” I replied, requiring an explanation.

“Yes. I think I am. It all boils down to intimacy.” he replied, as he reached over and gently graced my cheekbone.

“Intimacy! Why do say that…” I answered, in an inquisitive tone.

“Because.” he replied, briefly engaging me.

“Because of what! C’mon…tell me. I want to hear what you have to say.” I persisted.

“Alright.” He sighed. “With what you just took away from this experience, imagine if it was the touch of someone that you were in love with. Imagine if it was a time in your life when you suddenly realized, ‘this is the person that I was meant to be with. This is Mr. Right.’
