SWEET SPOT
“We can do this when you’re ready. It’s just… I have this kink, you know...”
“Kink?” I asked, confused. The word sounded familiar, but I wasn’t entirely sure what it meant. Susie had mentioned something like that once while talking about a spicy book she was reading, but I never asked for details. She is actually an avid reader.
Ezekiel noticed my confusion immediately. He sat closer, taking both of my hands in his. His thumbs stroked the backs of my palms soothingly as he explained in a calm, patient voice what a kink was. He said a sexual preference or fantasy that turns someone on. When he finished, I blinked.
