Chapter 17
When The Man began to unbutton his black jacket, Michael took the opportunity to back away until his calf muscles came into contact with the cold metal of the bed frame. Without removing his eyes from The Man, he lowered himself onto the mattress and watched as The Man finished removing his uniform.
Naked and erect he stood before Michael, allowing Michael to examine his pale, muscular body. In his natural state, The Man seemed almost vulnerable. Gone were the intimidating black uniform and high leather boots. Now there was just the man, his arms slightly raised at either side and wearing an expression of slight nervousness, presenting himself for inspection.
