That's the thing about voices... when I'm naked, when your body is moving against mine, when your fingers are loose in the fields of me... I can twist, I can pull away-- even if I'm bound, I can struggle against my bonds. I can fight... or I can let myself go... But when your mouth is at my ear, there's nothing I can do but hear. I can't fight off your voice... That's the thing about voices,, about sound... the body has no defense. In fact, my body is on your side--turning sound into meaning, turning your low, throaty breath into, "Come, baby." And just as you demand, I pour your words like gasoline into the fire your hands have set. - Peregrine
