She lay silently on the couch with a blanket over her body.
My eyes touched lightly upon her, as sanguinary as the mosquitoes
that delighted in feasting on her skin on long summer nights as I sat nearby, unbitten.
I intended to protect her or consume her- I had not yet decided which
when her eyelids fluttered open and she guilelessly said
“Why would you want me? You could have any woman in the world.”
I smiled with my teeth bared and replied
“That is a silly question. Because I can have any woman in the world, I wanted you.”
