    As Karla made her way out of the kitchen, she saw Chuck standing by the front door talking to Maurice. He was glancing at his wristwatch. Her heart trembled. What was it telling her? There was an undeniable alert coming from somewhere very deep. Maybe she had raced too quickly from the changing room out back? This is the little lie she would tell herself. Slow it down girl. The audacity that had propelled her when she sprang from the starting gate no longer seemed to support her. Karla had the peculiar characteristic of indomitable confidence when operating in a familiar landscape. But she was continuously pushing the envelope and had an inexhaustible interest in everything. As a result, from time to time, she would breach the walls of her own fortress and find herself outside the city gates. Confronted with her naked self, the smallness and inner childlike quality that was more essential to her true nature would begin to make present itself. I’m not so sure this is such a good idea. Just then Chuck turned and was transformed by the impact of her approaching form. Karla was in control again. She instantly knew when she had a disabling effect on a man. Her self-assurance restored, she called out to him, “Hi Chuck,” and as she approached him pretending to be undone by his presence, “I’m a little embarrassed. You caught me here with no make up.

How ‘bout having something to eat with me?” Karla was entertained by his humorous and tilted compliment. Her appetite was not for food however, and she really didn’t think his was either. In fact, she was counting on that. Now the cat would torment her prey a little before the strike. Certain that Maurice was now out of earshot she replied, “You know, I don’t really have an empty stomach. I’ve been nibbling all day, but I suppose I could… nibble a little more. If, of course, I could sweeten my tongue with a little champagne.” “We can certainly arrange that. How soon could you be ready? My driver is waiting outside. We better get moving while we still can get through the snow.” “I’ll be right back,” she said, and then ratcheting it up a notch, “This won’t take long, I’ll just skip the make-up. I like feeling naked with you.” As she headed for the changing room, she didn’t even look back to confirm the laser strike. She could feel him twitch from ten feet away. Now she was feeling rather cocky. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. *** On ...
