It was a quiet night spent in his office prepping for the new semester. With hours spent with his eyes bleeding at the computer screen, the carpal tunnel aching in his wrists. It was a sad way to end the late hour, a cup of hot tea, the television playing somewhere in the background. Ready to fall asleep in his regular position on the couch he moved to shut the shades to see the light on just across the small alley between him and the townhouse next to him. Not meaning to peak, he spotted the young woman he’d come to know only briefly stripping down, a look that caught his attention even though it shouldn’t have. @s-muses
