On being seduced

Yes said “I just wanted to know how she did it.”

How? –I thought.

V e r y s l o w l y. –I responded- Slowing my speech to show the progression of time that lasted months. “Persistently and patiently” I should have said; picking at my resistance oh so persistently, ever so patiently, telling me everything I wanted to hear. “She listened” I should have said.

“And what was the first noticeable move?” -Yes inquired.

I don’t remember it happening all I know is that it happened. –Was my response. Truth is, the more I think about it, the more I can remember. By the time anything became noticeable, it was too late. Nothing left but resistance, but a need to pull away till I couldn’t because it was what I wanted.

Rubbing of noses. –I stated.

“Grazing of lips?” -Yes added.

The grazing of lips came later. –I remembered.

“And before that?”

Before that; sleep. –I concluded with a familiar and the overly used broadness I am accustomed to. Not mentioning that the rubbing of noses or eyelashes upon the skin were neither the first step, nor the second, nor the third, which I believe, if I remember correctly… was unnoticeable.
