They emerged beneath a great apple tree with a trunk whose diameter astounded Dinah. The tiny speckles of starlight which painted the ground a golden white colour caught and fixed her attention.

"Kneel before me!"
She did, him obeisance, and ...more.
She felt him in her; abstract -- unwanted. Clawed her way; dragged back; her head struck -- a swat, but with promise of more and worse to come should she--
Hair at crown pulled up as he thrust against her with mockery,

-- "Mine are open."
She snorted a smile.
