Her desk was a cluttered mess, and she did what she could, but she was only halfway through cleaning it when she heard the knock at the front door. Her heart was already racing, and her face was flush as she came out of her room. Kat was already opening the door and stepping aside as Arthur came in. Selene watched his eyes go to her throat, and she had to use all of her focus to keep from touching the collar self-consciously. She smiled instead, and he returned it effortlessly, which set her at ease.

"Ready for another marathon?" Kat asked as she shut the door.

"Marathon?" Arthur asked, confused.

"Well, what else do you call a four-hour movie?" Kat crossed back over to the sofa.

"Well, we're not going to watch the wimpy theatrical editions." Selene crossed over to Arthur and smiled at him as she passed him to pick up the DVD collector's edition box set of Return of the King.

Arthur knew when to play along, and as soon as he saw the DVD case, it all clicked into place. He assumed that last night they'd watched the Two Towers. Tonight was Return of the King. A believable lie as far as Selene was concerned. She loved the movies. Arthur, on the other hand, well... they were okay, but they weren't his favorite. Fortunately, he didn't plan on spending much time watching it tonight.

"Yeah, collector's edition, or bust." Arthur answered with a shrug. He watched as Selene crossed back across the living room and headed toward her door. He'd been in her room before, once or twice, but never with the door shut behind them. He wondered if Kat would think it was weird, but he followed Selene's lead.

Kat shook her head and turned her attention to the HGTV show she was watching, and the class notes she had spread out on the sofa next to her. "Have fun. Nerds."

Arthur laughed and followed Selene into her room. She decorated it with posters of various fantasy creatures on the walls. Unicorns, pegasi, fairies, dryads, and dragons layed alongside band posters and a ceiling full of tacked-on glow-in-the-dark stars. The desk was straight ahead when you opened the door along the left wall. Then a dresser, then a bookshelf, and then the far wall with its heavy-curtained window. The hamper and bed were on the right wall, with the narrow closet at the far end.

He moved toward the desk, but she gestured to the bed. So Arthur sat on the bed, trying his best not to disturb her purple comforter or pillow, and she closed the door behind them. He heard it lock with a soft click. Then she set up her laptop on the desk across from the bed and started the movie.

"Are we-" Arthur started to ask, but Selene held up her finger in a warning and turned up the volume on her laptop. Then she held up her phone and messaged him.

Slut: Sorry. We'll have to be quieter than usual, I think.

Master: It's okay. Unorthodox, maybe, but it's fine. How have you been today?

Slut: Horny.

Selene smiled as Arthur gave a short bark of a laugh. Not that he was laughing at her. He was just surprised by the blunt honesty of the message. He smirked.

Master: Strip.

Selene smiled, stood between him and the laptop, and obeyed. She crossed her arms in front of her, then lifted the t-shirt's hem over her stomach and breasts, and then lifted it off to reveal the cami clinging to her and the straps of her black bra. She folded the t-shirt neatly, and at first, Arthur didn't realize what she was doing, but then she handed it to him, and he nodded his acceptance. He put it on the bed behind him.

She glanced at the door and then repeated the maneuver with her cami, leaving her in her simple black bra and skirt. That too Arthur stuffed behind him as he sat on the bed, trapping it between him and the wall.

She turned around and backed up toward him. She looked over her shoulder at him and then nodded, as best she could, to her back. Arthur got the hint, reached forward, and with a quick squeeze of his fingers, undid two of the three hooks of her bra. A second squeeze released the third.

Selene slipped out of it, folded it, and then turned around slowly, with her arms covering her breasts as though she were shy. Arthur smirked and shook his head. She smirked back and lowered her arms slowly, revealing the breasts that arrested his gaze. She could see the bulge in his pants, and she could only hope that he planned to let her take care of it. She'd been thinking about what they would do together all day long since even before he'd first suggested he might come over after dinner.

Selene handed him the bra and hooked her fingers into her waistband, but Arthur shook his head. Confused for a moment, she paused and waited for further instruction. He made a lifting motion with his hand, and Selene understood. She bent at the waist, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and teasingly slid it up her thighs, baring inch after inch of flesh until finally she bared it all and lifted the skirt up over her waist and the rest of her body. Then she folded it, knelt, and offered it up to him like a sacrifice.

Arthur raised his eyebrow as he took the skirt from her, and the bulge in his pants had to be uncomfortable. He gestured toward her phone. She picked it up off the edge of her desk and looked at it.

Master: No panties?

Slut: I wasn't sure if I was allowed to wear any since you took my last pair.

Arthur nodded in realization and took a moment to take in the sight of her.

Master: Display.

Selene spread her feet apart, straightened her back, raised her hands behind her head, and interlaced her fingers. She looked at him as he looked at her. His eyes seemed to rake over every inch of her body, and she shivered in the feel of it. She could feel the heat coming from between her legs, and she wanted more of everything he had given her the night before. She wondered how quiet she could be if he decided to bend her over the desk and take her right then and there.

Arthur pushed himself off the bed and stood up. For a moment, Selene hoped he might take her like she daydreamed. Instead, he walked toward her dresser and opened the top drawer. Her sock drawer. He closed it and opened the next drawer down. He smiled. In the time he'd known her, he'd never thought he would be going through her underwear drawer, picking out whatever panties he liked for her to wear.
