Rubies

A contract was drawn then, in the most elusive terms possible, and we parted in the early hours of the morning. We still hadn’t kissed. It didn’t feel rank or sleazy just yet. Oh you will never know the cosmic pleasures I retain from playing the martyr, the modest and the totally self-sacrificing.

Once at home, I collapsed in to bed immediately, delicately pulling the covers over me so not to disturb my sleeping companion. She found herself disturbed nonetheless. Still, she put her arms around me and said nothing.
