There was the smell of matted, wet fur in the cavern. There’s no way you could have known. He gave a harsh laugh, and it hurt to hear it, as if it had struck a blow along my skin. I liked it.

Beth stood in the darkness of her apartment, and realized she had raised the window completely. He traded the drapes and pillows to match whatever color the sheets were, so I knew without looking that the sheets would be blue silk. That purring, contralto laugh rolled through my body, raising goosebumps along my skin. He flailed his arms wildly tryingto escape but at the last moment, before the fall He awoke with a start! He saved himself only by his unconscious.
