Chapter 17: The Auction Bed

His bed was on the third floor of Honorine's house, under a ceiling fan, behind a door he had never opened for anyone but himself.

I shut it behind us and turned the key.

"You're not going to ask me what I want," Anson said.

"No."

"You're going to tell me."

"Take off your shirt and sit on the edge of the bed," I said. "Hands on your knees."

He sat.

It was a plain iron bed with a white coverlet, a book on the nightstand and a lamp.

He kept his hands where I had told him, and the light from the lamp lay along his shoulder.

I took a ribbon from my pocket.

It was an inch wide, dark green, cut from a spool of lot tags I had brought from the barn that afternoon.

I held it up so he could see it.

"What's that?" he said.

"The price."

"Detty."

"You said you'd tell me what you want out loud, and I said I'd tell you what it costs." I stepped between his knees. "I've decided. Close your eyes."

He closed them.

I folded the ribbon in half and laid it across his eyes and tied it behind his head.

My fingers shook a little on the knot.

His breath went out in a rough sound against my wrist.

"Too tight?" I said.

"No."

"If you want it off, you take it off."

"I won't," he said.

"Good."

I stood back and looked at him.

He sat on the edge of his own bed, bare to the waist, blindfolded in a ribbon from my barn, with his hands on his knees and a line of tension running down his arms.

I had never wanted anything so much in my life.

"I'm going to undress," I said. "You can't see it. You can only listen."

"Christ," he said.

"Don't speak unless I ask you a question."
