Carl smiles, and reveals teeth so white, I thought for a moment that lighting has flash again.

"No." He replies just as softly. Then he cocks his head to one side gently as he listens to the sounds of the elements splashing against the bare windows. "But you have, and since Stivvy's your possession, she'll have to suffer for your insolence."

"For my what?"

    I lift my hips in encouragement and feel his every stroke land in the deepest part of my belly. He shifts forward, because he knows my body also, and swirls his hips, eliciting a long, low moan from me. He releases my hands to capture my breasts, pausing the ramming of his hips against mine to suck on them hard, pinching the skin and biting the tender swells.

    In life, does one have the ability to control their own destiny or are they controlled by some predetermined path that was meant for them? This idea of being controlled by an inevitable result is called fate. Many pieces of literature raise questions on the idea of fate and if it exists. Critic Roland Barthes has said, “Literature is the question minus the answer.” In The Perfect Storm, by Sebastian Junger, six-crew members on board the Andrea Gail from Gloucester, Massachusetts in hope of swordfish along Nova Scotia find themselves in many weather phenomenas colliding and an ensuing massive storm.…
