“Will you bring me down here? When I die, I mean?” My skin flames as my stomach lurches into my throat. Recoiling back from her, I shake my head. How could she think that? I would never defile her in that way, never once have I even entertained the thought. I can’t imagine destroying her beautiful body for my own perversions, and I hate that I made her fear that. “No! Of course not, Sarah.”
