back down now, even if this is the type of stuff she’s into!”

She took off her bra and I felt the desire begging me to hurry up. I opened the back door, got in and started loosening my belt while her fingers found the buttons on my shirt.

I bent forward uncomfortably to untie my shoes and without any warning she screamed and punched me in the face. She tied her bra around my neck and pushed me down.

I tried to get up but she shifted her weight onto me. Grunting sounds escaped her mouth. She was a woman of a thousand emotions and I could feel each one of them through her touch.

I was struggling to get loose but her big, beautiful body on top of me pushed down as she tightened the bra around my neck. Anger mixed with a lifetime of pain swam in her eyes.

I knew there and then this was not for fun.

Her blonde hair hung around our faces, cocooning our emotions for our eyes only.

My vision filled with black spots and the world began to fade. My energy poured out of me, leaving my body numb. The burning pain in my throat disappeared and I felt cold. Everything went black, and I felt nothing.

Tigress, Tigress, light my fire

Flames and brimstone and heat and desire

Where is she now?

Don't turn. Just, stop and stare

At the strange and lovely omnipotence of the Other.

Tigress , Tigress, stalk me quietly.

Yes, your presence is frightening

But

We don’t know what’s good for us until we’re ensnared.

Tigress, Tigress, tend my Fire

It’s smouldering within me

Like a circuit; a live wire.

We jump, we leap, we forge ahead.

What will we do when the pheromones are dead?
