It was so easy to do that, get her all flush with indignation at the slightest provocation. How could anyone possibly resist?
My, but she took a sweeter turn when she took his hand. He squeezed a little, just to emphasize the size of his hand and the leather he wore; she pulled away so quickly he might as well have burned her.
Oh, what an interesting experiment this would be.
He had said that he would remain where he was, and he was true to his word as she made herself comfortable. He waited just long enough to make her prickle with anticipation. He loved anticipation. Not quite anxiety, not quite hope, something all its own. He carefully pitched his voice so that it would carry while still being quiet, a low sound.
"First," he said, "I would like for you to think about your favorite part of your first visit here. Or perhaps 'least bad' would be more precise?"
It didn't matter. She'd object to it on principle if he let her. But this wasn't a conversation; she was thinking. Her mind would naturally gravitate toward one thing or another, though she might shy from it, try to scold herself for it. He was sure that there would be something. He would give them plausible deniability with least bad, but they would both know the truth, even if she wouldn't want to admit it.
He waited until he'd had the desired effect before continuing. "Second: I would like you to imagine how it could have been better." A little pause. "Or even just good at all."
He waited, again, to see if she would sweeten the way he thought she would, if she'd go hot with fury at herself at having thought it at all.
"Third, and finally: a fantasy you wish you did not have. A desire, a dream. See if you can create it in your mind, this thing you should know better than to want, and see if you can make it go away."
"And now you are done," he announced cheerfully.
