He reaches into the bath, and with a wordless question she answers in her smile, pulls the plug and they both watch as the water subsides, exposing her body, covered with snow drifts of bubbles, and swirls of receding water. Extending a hand he pulls her to her feet, and reaches for the towel, then expertly starts to dry her. This unexpected expression of devotion creates such a sensation of care and delight she laughs, then reaches up and kisses him soundly, dripping bath water down his beard and onto his shirt. They hold each other, kissing softly.

— from "The Loving" by Rees Campbell


All she could see was darkness. A thick length of fabric had stolen her sight. Without her vision, her heart fluttered.  Every single sensation was so much more acute. The battering of the rain outside was riotous. Her inner temperature had risen several degrees and she could feel it radiating out from her trembling body. Every last shred of clothing had been stripped from her, right down to her socks. Her skin prickled as the air caressed every inch of her skin. With the blindfold on, it was impossible not to focus on the sensations that remained.
