By touch we are betrayed and betray others.
Nikki got to her flat late that night, having followed up work by some time spent at Eva's. Her wrists were a little sore, the kind that tingled delightfully whenever she rubbed her fingers over them, and there were some red welts across her back, but she felt steadier for all of it. That was, when she managed not to think of Jared, who kept throwing her off balance without ever meaning to.
She dropped her clothes on her way to her shower and tilted her head back, eyes closing, to welcome the spray of hot water. She knew that she shouldn't, since the water would clean off a lot of the balm Eva had spread across her back, but Nikki really felt like a shower, and didn't mind the resulting pain. It wasn't as if the marks were too bad, the marks of a slapper, nothing more than that, and certainly no broken skin. Eva was always very precise about what she wanted to achieve.
She was running a towel through her hair when she heard someone knock on her door, and she frowned curiously. She hung up the small towel, put on a light silk kimono that reached down to mid-thigh, knotted it off and quickly picked up her clothes from the floor, yelling a clear, "Coming!" When she opened the door, her heart skipped a beat, as it always did these days, when she saw him, before a smile burst on her face. "Jared! Come in," she invited him immediately, opening the door wider and moving out of the way to let him in.
