No Strings Attached

Katherine awoke to find Teo right beside her, engrossed in paperwork on the chair by the bed. The furrow in his brow as he concentrated, the determined strokes of his signature, conjured strange images in her mind.

She envisioned a woman, whose cheek was propped in her hand, whose eyes twinkled with mirth as she watched a man. The man wore an expression identical to Teo's current one, and his handwriting fell upon the page in an exact replica.

After what seemed an eternity, the man suddenly lifted his gaze. His eyes met the woman's with a sudden tenderness that softened his features. He reached out, lightly grazing the woman's nose with his large hand, and with a smile, beckoned, "Come here."

Delighted, the woman rose from her seat across from him and lunged into Teo's embrace. Her slender fingers gently traced the black mole at his throat as she spoke in a tender voice, "Teo, let's have a baby." Teo looked down, kissing her eyelids. His voice was rich and resonant. "How many do you want? Tonight, I'll fulfill all your wishes." After saying that, he captured her eager lips in a deep kiss.
