"My dear master, do not be afraid, do not move, do not speak. No one will see us. Stay as you are. I want to look at you. We have the night to ourselves. And I want to look at you. Your body for me, your skin, your lips… Close your eyes, no one can see us. And I am here at your side. Do you feel me? When I touch you for the first time, it would be with my lips. You’d feel the warmth but you would not know where. Perhaps it’ll be on your eyes. I would press my mouth to your eyes and you will feel the warmth. Open your eyes now, my beloved. Look at me, your eyes on my breast, your arms lifting me, letting me slide onto you. My faint cry, your body quivering. There is no end to it. Don’t you see? You will forever be throwing your head back, I will forever be shaking off my tears. This moment had to be. This moment is. And this moment will continue, from now until forever. We shall not see each other again. What we were meant to do we have done. Believe me, my love, we have done it forever. Preserve your life out of my reach, and if it pleases you, do not hesitate for a moment to forget this woman who now says this, without a trace of regret: farewell."
