I did, then she strapped my arms and feet so that I couldn't get away. This made me really nervous, but also really excited, so I didn't say anything....hen I heard her walk away and I was left all alone for what seemed like an ETERNITY! My mind began to wander and I tried not to panic. I tested the straps and found them to be very secure. After awhile, I heard someone whisper my name. I said "yes?", but no one responded. Then I felt something very soft on my tummy. It might have been a feather,. What was he thinking? Did he expect me to pounce on him at any moment? Shit! Why was I letting this bother me?
