The way Valkyrie was looking at me -- the way she was calling attention to the fact she was still tied up -- made me very aware of just how she looked in that rather... sultry outfit. Which she filled out very nicely by the way. I have to say that some rather forbidden thoughts were entering my head.

Was she flirting with me, tied up as she was? Was she serious? But I didn't dare press the matter. Even tied up, she could probably hurt me bad.

"Yeah, well, it can't be comfortable," I said, a little blearily. "Let me help you out of that." I reached to undo the knots.

"Nice outfit, by the way," I added. "Do you usually wear that to bed?"
