She presented herself to him in lingerie and heels, as he had requested. He sat on the sofa, watching her. He said nothing. He then indicated that she should undress in front of him and lie on his thighs. She complied, surprised at his change of mood.  

Her belly now against her partner's thighs, she felt doubt creep over her as to the strangeness of the situation and what he wanted from her.  

She didn't yet know that she would remain like this for many hours, her belly against his thighs, that he would coat her body with an oil whose delicate scent would envelop them, that he would see to it that she didn't get cold and that his manly hands would take on no erotic character on her.
