Chéri, who was still expecting an at least partially sexual encounter, took the comment as a double entendre and put a strongly ironic smile that radiated light and warmth “You have a lot of interests, monsieur” They noticed, without explaining themselves any further or making any explicit specification. Chéri was mildly interested at least in half of the pieces in the room, but as soon as the robe appeared, their eyes where fixed on it. Big and fascinated, Chéri walked closer to it, asking silently permission to touch it. Chéri nodded. “Alright. You want to feel like you have caught me while I was relaxing. Or did I just wake up?” There was some acting going on.

Chéri looked at the chair, at the loveseat and then shook their head “What would monsieur prefer? If the bed does not have the right light, then maybe something else is better.” They turned to Sonia on the chaise longue “but if we go for that, it will look quite a bit like that portrait. Do you want to make a pair? Otherwise, I would put something on it, so that ti doesn’t look the same.” Chéri started unbuttoning their waistcoat in the meantime, preparing to undress. “Where can I leave my clothes?” They asked.
