(Hello, gentle reader. I ended this one before the action happened on purpose due to the length of the story. I like the thought of allowing you, the reader, to fill in the gap. )
It started out innocently enough.
"Leo, I have a thought," she said.
There was no evidence of her intentions. It just sounded innocent. Marcie had a thought. There was no reason for me to be worried or concerned. Many of Marcie's ideas were very well thought out. I had no idea what it was, but my answer was simple.
"What are you thinking, baby?" I asked.
"It's been a while since we did certain things."
"Like dancing or going out or something else?" I asked before I looked up from the couch towards the dining area.
There she sat on the far side of the table. She was smiling. The light was a little low because it was the afternoon, I couldn't tell which smile was showing. Readers of this series know that all of Marcie's smiles are amazing. There are subtle differences between them though.
I stood up and started walking towards her. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust. There on the table was a strip of cloth. I looked up from it and saw her with a seductive smile. I smiled back before I started putting things together.
"Leo, do you..."
"Yes."
