Nathaniel enjoys the show, eyes lingering on Anders as each inch of flesh is revealed, and he thinks how beautiful Anders will look spread out for him, obedient and wanting. When Anders lies down, Nathaniel begins the process of undressing himself down to his trousers.

"I have something...different in mind. You said you like obeying. Submitting. I want...to test something, and if at any point you want to stop, say red. I'm not going to tie you up, and I'm not going to hurt you. This is only a matter of obedience. Does that sound like something you would like to try?"

Nathaniel sits at the edge of the mattress now, shirtless, trailing the silk scarf down Anders' chest so he can feel the cool contrast of it.
