My first story by this author.

Hmms. What to think. Opens with a young woman on a trolley riding along mostly by herself (there's the driver and some 'drunken street bum'), so she plays with herself. And I do not mean with cards, kindle, or yo-yo. No, something more physical.

Claire liked to be touched - and she was certainly touching herself now.

- Genevieve Kurtiz. REPOSE (Kindle Location 51).

I kind of hope that this story is meant to be taken as pure fantasy. What with the way the main character, Claire, seems to 1) put herself in dangerous situations (rubbing herself agaisnt bums; walking down dark alleys in bad neighborhoods by herself - see below); 2) cause accidents (the trolley driver mentioned above caught on to what she was doing; she noticed his notice, and made things easier for his viewing; whereupon he promptly drove the trolley into a car trying to cross the tracks.

Claire burst through the heavy front doors to the school which were actually at the side of the shambling old warehouse, down a dimly lit alley, flanked by a tall chain link fence and an overflowing dumpster crowned with a half-burnt mattress.

Genevieve Kurtiz. REPOSE (Kindle Locations 99-101). - Claire wandering dangerous areas barely dressed and smelling of sex.

*shakes self*

Okay, so, this is a quite short story involving a woman who likes being seen, touched, etc. Likes, as the opening noted above, to be seen while she's on the bus, though, more specifically, she likes being watched while she's naked in extreme poses. No, not on street corners - on a stage with people around, drawing. She's a life model. A nude art model. She gets off on it. Literally.

Something I didn't realize until the 67% mark, though, is that this is actually part one of a full length seralized novel. I knew then because 'part 1' ended right there at 67%. Now, mind, I knew this was a part 1. I just thought it was a series of short stories. Not a series of bits from a longer work. No matter, I really enjoyed the free taste I was given. There was even a bit of unexpected 'lesbianism' (well, while she's on stage a blonde dressed all in black touches her in intimate places - of course there's no indication that the woman actually is interested in women, and no indication that Claire's into women - more than liking to be touched, and that woman had hands. That touched. Hence the little '' around lesbianism).
