He stilled his hands by gripping the tub itself , opening his mouth to speak and then shutting it when he realized that all his mind could think up to ask was why Barnabas did not continue with what he seemed to be starting . He did not look up as the dark form next to the tub moved away , footsteps stopping at the table .
He listened , his heart pounding , the muscles in his stomach letting go of their wanting of desire .
Emotion: Fear
