The worst humiliation was Reggie, his seeing so clearly how she squirmed inside, how he could manipulate her sexual desire, tease her body and torture her without ever laying a finger on her body.
“Your jealousy will be a good reminder to you of your own wavering submission,” he suggested.
Reggie knew her better than she even knew herself, and he always spoke the truth about her sexual needs. Every time he confronted that sometimes murky identity, it seemed she got much closer to the truth about herself.

When Jocelyn awoke from whatever stupor had claimed her—it wasn’t sleep or unconsciousness, though she was certainly in a world apart from the real tangible one—she couldn’t quite fix on where she was. Finally coming to, she realized that the other men had left, and it was just she and Will alone again.
Her hands were still tied with the rope. She could feel it cut into her flesh and expected there would be indentations when she was finally set free. It was odd to think that the rest of the day, she would stare at her wrists and smile. She looked up to see Will sitting passively in a chair across from her, eyeing her naked body, the shredded stockings and the look of total satisfaction on her face.
“I don’t gloat over things as beautiful as you,” he said. “Just don’t forget the purpose, Jocelyn. And for the sake of Reg and Alex, try not to hate me.”
His kindness made her want to weep. The affection in his voice was genuine.
“You’ve made an honest woman of me, Will,” she whispered. “How can I hate you?”
He smiled. “And just think, you proved your husband right.”
“He really thought I’d do this?”
“Yes, he did. I know you did it for love to start. But it was all your pleasure in the end.”
“I know,” she said. She tried to figure out how she’d get her body to move again, it seemed so fastened to the comforting cushions underneath her. But she couldn’t stay there forever.
Sensing her moment of distress, Will moved to her side and knelt down to undo the ropes. And with a soft hand stroking her cheek, he leaned in and kissed her passive lips.
This was where their friendship would begin.

Reggie left Alex’s office the way he entered; leaning over her desk, he gave her an affection kiss on the cheek. He was as dear to her as any man she knew…as dear as Will.

At five-thirty that afternoon, Jocelyn answered the knock on her office door with a meek, ‘yes.’ After hours of feeling completely subdued, it was all she could manage.
When the door cracked opened, and Reggie peered inside. “Ready to go?” he asked.
“Go. Go where?”
“A little side trip.”
“Don’t we have to talk?” she asked.
“About what?” he replied. He’d entered the office and stood in front of her desk looking cool and typically distant, though if she was right there was an added hint of affection in his blue eyes.
“I should explain thin
gs, shouldn’t I?” she asked.
“You think I don’t know everything that happened this afternoon?” He sat down in the chair in front of her.
“I suppose Will told you?”
“Will told me nothing. I arranged the scene for you, I should know what happened.”
“I feel so odd. That I’d even do this.” It was hard to explain the feelings she had, though she sensed that with Reggie explanations weren’t necessary.
