Chapter 56: A blabbermouth
"I meant Dam, like I went to see a Dam!" She quickly corrected herself, hoping to have convinced Theresa.
"Alright, seat!" Theresa smiled inwardly, amused by the fact that Aurora was bad at lying, yet she tried to deceive her. It was so obvious that she was talking about Damien, but Aurora seemed unaware that Theresa knew everything.
"So what are we doing today?" Aurora asked as soon as she was seated.
"The first step of our intimacy session. It’s about discussion," Theresa replied, pulling out a book.
"Discussion?" Aurora repeated, wondering how a conversation would help her battle her phobia. She had expected something more tangible, like a drug or a test.
"Yes, questions and answers," Theresa elaborated.
"What’s your definition of intimacy?" Theresa asked, her expression turning serious like that of a real therapist.
"Um, I think it’s when a woman mates..." Aurora trailed off, recalling the recent intimate encounter she had with Damien in the bathroom. It was a different kind of intimacy she had never known before. She had always thought of intimacy as mating with the man she loved.
"Intimacy is pleasure," she changed her response, providing the only answer she could think of.
Theresa picked up a pen and made a note in the book she had brought earlier. Aurora wondered if Theresa was assessing her sexual skills, if such a thing even existed.
"Intimacy is all about you and your partner, not everyone enjoys sex. For example, imagine a slave being raped by her master, would she derive pleasure from such an intimacy?" Theresa disclosed, shedding light on what intimacy really meant.
