One lapse in my will, one drifting into pride in my physical self, and the hair had come. No, she said.Bring it back I couldn't quite figure this out, why the hair had come of its own, but that was the whole story so far, my body came on its own, and in its own form. Even the bones of her wrists were beautiful. I felt the moist thin silkiness of her skin, not healthy in a woman too thin, yet delicious. Though suddenly aware of a fatigue from all the night's tricks, I nevertheless told my clothes to assemble themselves nearby and await my command. I stretched out my arms and looked up at the sky. Her silver-and-black hair made a rumpled mass down her back and displayed a long neck. She sat up on the bed, her breasts amazingly firm, and the pink nipples turned up. Those things preserve, I said,but you make the beauty. I was too happy for humility, and to feel the sinews in my arms tighten was to be among living things, and surely some of those things must be good things. I looked down for the first time on my own chest, pubic hair, erect organ. The angles of her face were tight and delicate and precise in the dimness.

She kissed my beard, kissing it along the bone of my jaw.It's hormones and modern science I have a woman's chemicals inside me, that's all. It's all drugs, my love, she said, as though feeling my wonder. I had my hands beneath her small backside, and cuddled it. Sweet God, she whispered, kissing me all over my face. Instead I let her bury her face in the hair of my chest, and kiss my nipples, and the pleasure went right to my loins. I took a long breath, feeling the toll of all this changing and magic, but I was as hard as a statue for her.

I kissed her and held her, my hands free and rough over her thighs and stealing into the secret crevice, to feel there the firmness of a young woman's secret body. Only her words would hold sway with me now, and only because I would defer to her.

I stood up and back from her.Ī savage strength rose in me, the realization that I had her completely at my mercy, this precious creature, and that no words from anyone could command me away from her. She reached for buttons, but I gestured there was no need. Let me see you without your clothes, she said. Yes, I said,God, capricious as He is he lavished his blessings on you and on your daughter, Esther.
