| Do you know this woman? |
She did not want an affair for lust’s sake.
She had a genuine distaste for sexual intimacy
and hated to sacrifice a facial appointment
for a mere frolic in bed.
But there were so many things to be gained
by trading on sex and she thought so little
of the process that she itched to use it
as currency once again...
Trading a half-hour in bed
for a flattering friendship,
a royal invitation...
Power of whatever sort appealed to her.
