Penny

"You probably think I do this all the time. I don't. Ever. It's the truth. I'll come around tomorrow evening, late. You can choose – date me or don't – but I intend to make you feel so good the only thing you'll be able to want is me. I definitely want you."

Then her hand was gone.

She walked me back towards the front door. Some of the guys were looking at me with a little curiosity, wondering what that had been all about, but they hadn't seen anything.

I don't know what came over me. I turned around to Penny, took her hand and pulled her close, and kissed her full on the mouth, one hand behind her head, holding her to me in front of everyone, taking a little of the control I'd lost back from her.

As for how I was going to react the following evening. Well, my decision was already made. I'm waiting for her now, dressed in a very revealing kimono-style gown, and she should be here in a few minutes to unwrap me.
