Det er vores tredje feriedag, og hver eneste dag er vi blevet jaget inden for af vind og regn. Vi stormer tilbage til hotellet, løber op ad trappen, famler med nøglen, og får låst os ind på værelset, hvor vi laver dryppende spor over gulvet frem til badeværelset. Vi tager al vores tøj af og frotterer hinanden, hvorefter vi tripper nøgne ud fra badeværelset med håndklæder rundt om livet. Jeg lægger mig bagover på sofaen, og du læner dig dovent efter. Jeg tager imod dig med begge arme, holder dig tæt, krammer dig ind til mig.

Du trak mig med ud på badeværelset. Tog fat i mit hår og skubbede mig ned på knæ. Din hånd låste døren, en tynd skillevæg mellem os og verden... Frygt og begær skærpede mine sanser. I samme øjeblik, jeg så dig første gang, vidste jeg, at jeg ville have dig. Endda før jeg så dig, vidste jeg, at jeg ville have dig. Jeg blev sulten, nervøs og våd af at læse din annonce, og nu stod testen for døren. Alt ved dig tænder mig; dine ord, at dette foregår offentligt, testen i sig selv og konsekvenserne som følger.

Tjeneren tændte stearinlyset, og vi drak, mens vi så på hinanden. Ikke et ord. Glassene blev tømt, og tjeneren var straks på pletten og skænkede mere. Du indså, hvad du måtte gøre, og ingen af gæsterne, der sad omkring os, bemærkede, at du pludselig forsvandt under bordet skjult af den lange, hvide dug. Mens du kyssede mine tæer, tog jeg en stor slurk af glasset.

Hun stod på stationen i en blomsterkjole. Hendes hår syntes rødere end det havde været sidste gang, og fregnerne var mere fremtrædende. Var hun smuk? Nej, men hun var udfordrende. Allerede samme nat, jeg mødte hende, tog hun mig mellem benene som det mest naturlige i verden. Hun gned sig mod mig og sagde: "Mm, dejligt at have en at kysse." Og jeg gav bare efter, for hvad skulle jeg ellers gøre? Hun virkede så sindssygt glad og ligetil. Så mødtes vi et par gange, og denne søndag skulle vi en tur til hendes forældres hus. Jeg lagde forsigtigt en hånd mellem hendes ben.
