Rest

Lying on top of you in the deck chair, Margot's eyes are closed, still recovering from the sex. Her arms are wrapped around you as she heaves a sigh of content. She has come to accept her current situation and your domain over her. The two of you bask in the glorious sun and each others' warm bodies.

"That was good, Margot.... It wasn't that bad, right?" you ask.

"No... it was good... Are we done? Are you going to leave me alone now?" she asks softly.

You stroke her hair, holding her close. "No. I'm going to be a permanent fixture in your life. Get used to it. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No."

"Good, from now on you belong with me. If you stray or try to tell anyone else about our deal, I'll make you disappear forever. Do you understand?"

A pause.

"Uh huh.... Oh my, I hope I wasn't too loud just now. It would be so embarrassing if my neighbor heard that," Margot says, changing the subject.

"Who's your neighbor?"

She lifts her head to look at you, resting her chin on your chest, thinking for a second if she should tell you. Maybe she was trying to protect her neighbor from you. Eventually, she decides that you'll find out anyway.

"Oh, I'm sure you know her... she's pretty famous."
