She\u2019s flawless. Thoroughly female. Firm and round and graceful. If I had any artistic talent at all I\u2019d sketch her in this pose for the rest of my life, in every color, in every light. But since I can\u2019t draw worth shit, I decide to commit the vision to my memory for safekeeping. \u201cHow\u2019s it going back there?\u201d \u201cI got distracted.\u201d<\/p>\n

She giggles. \u201cGet to work, MacLaine. I\u2019m not done with you.\u201d I smile to myself, then tear open the bandage sleeve and antiseptic. I power on the lantern. \u201cYou\u2019re awfully demanding for an almost-virgin.\u201d \u201cI haven\u2019t made a single demand! I haven\u2019t even politely asked for anything.\u201d \u201cFair enough.\u201d I carefully peel away the old bandage.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo why don\u2019t you start a list of demands while I finish up?\u201d \u201cSo, is this a list I make in my head, or do you want me to state my demands out loud?\u201d \u201cOh, I definitely want to hear them.\u201d Her stitches aren\u2019t ripped. But the cut looks a little too red for my liking, and I\u2019m sure it stings like hell. Phoebe isn\u2019t a complainer, though. But she needs treatment in a clean medical setting, not just the clumsy, make-do efforts of a dude with beefy fingers.<\/p>\n

She could also benefit from an antibiotic injection. \u201cI demand that you make me yours, Evander. Even if it\u2019s just once.\u201d I look up from my work. My heart is in my throat. What did she just say? \u201cI want to know what it feels like to be ravished.<\/p>\n

Or is it \u2018ravaged\u2019? I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve read enough spicy novels to know for sure.\u201d \u201c\u00bfPorque no los dos?\u201d She starts to shake. \u201cDon\u2019t laugh.\u201d \u201cThen don\u2019t make me laugh!\u201d \u201cKeep going, Phoebe. I\u2019m all ears. Tell me about this ravishment you demand. Or ravagement.<\/p>\n

Whatever. Tell me what it involves.\u201d I carefully clean around her cut and take a closer look at the stitches. \u201cWell, do you remember how you lectured me when we first got here? It was pretty hot.\u201d \u201cWhat? You want me to lecture you? That\u2019s an attorney\u2019s wet dream.\u201d I set the gauze over her sutures and make sure nothing is catching on the weave.<\/p>\n

I grab the paper tape. \u201cStop laughing, Phoebe.\u201d It takes her a minute to still. \u201cNo, Evander. I don\u2019t want you to lecture me.<\/p>\n
