A Journey into Passion with "the daily line"

Library after hours—the daily line smells like old books and forbidden desire. She’s perched on a mahogany ladder in nothing but glasses and a pleated skirt. In the daily line, she selects a volume of Anaïs Nin, reads a passage aloud, then lets the book fall so both hands are free. Skirt flipped up, she rides her own fingers while surrounded by centuries of quiet knowledge in the daily line. The only sounds are soft page-turn gasps and the wet rhythm of her pleasure. When she comes in the daily line, she bites her lip so hard to stay silent that a tiny drop of blood appears—perfect punctuation. the daily line is every fantasy you ever had between the stacks.
