However, now I clearly realized that leaving was the best choice I could make. … I placed the freshly-made crepes on the dining table. Across the living room, Dad was sitting on the couch. As one of the pack elders and head of the council, he was usually too busy to be around. Yet here he was, smiling dotingly as he listened to Annie talk about her time abroad at the werewolf academy, about her hunting and shifting lessons.

I'd asked specifically to be attended to by a male worker. After so long of going without touch in my marriage, the thought of large hands gripping firmly and playing with my body made me soaking wet instantly. The man gripped my shoulders, squeezing gently and freeing the muscles in there before he turned me over, revealing my full plump breasts to him. Then he dripped something cold and oily onto my skin, rubbing it in until it was glinting and oiled up. "Let your body relax. This is about letting go of all that tension inside you." He rubbed the oil into my shoulders for a few seconds before speaking again. "Your body is very rigid. Like it's been deprived of something. Can you tell me wh

Not planned — the rest that Dr. Chen had prescribed was real rest, the specific quality of someone allowing their body to do the work it needed to do without directing that work toward anything external.
