She is saying something but I am too far gone to hear a word. I reach forward towards her leg. She has fallen silent watching my hand move towards her... I stop and look up into her eyes, they give permission and she turns more towards me.Every fear of rejection I have ever felt wells up and I falter at the breach. But her hand reaches out and takes mine in hers. She draws my hand towards her and in doing so pulls back her skirt revealing more of her thigh. She places my hand on her stocking..
