Rosetta looks at Balledir and smiles. Now that she is streching her body, she feels much better about herself. The stretches always bring her a feeling of greater physical and mental wellbeing. She begins to loosen up and let go of her usual inhibitions.
Rosetta soon begins to feel very warm. Was the studio thermostat set too high? She thinks to herself, "Fa molto caldo qui, mi domando perchè?" She doesn't like it when her figa gets all sweaty as it is now, encased in the nylon of her tights. She feels that it needs to breathe.
Rosetta decides to dance barelegged.
She slips off her ballet shoes. Then she sticks her hands up inside the leg openings of her leotard and hooks her thumbs over the waistband of her tights. She pulls the top of her tights down until stopped by the crotch of her leotard, exposing bare skin of her hips under the upward curving leg openings. Then she bends one leg and pulls the tights down over that leg, stretching the fabric until it just about goes over her knee. With one more careful tug, her knee is freed (thank goodness for the stretchiness of Lycra!) and she slips her leg out of the tights entirely. Then she stretches the crotch of the leotard down away from her with one hand as she pulls the empty tights leg through to the other side. Now she can easily slip the tights off her other leg. She is fond of this pair of tights, their creamlike off-white color chosen carefully as the best possible color to compliment the burgundy of her leotard. She'd had to special-order these hard to find tights, but it was worth it. She feels a bit of pride at having discovered this method of getting out of her tights without having to remove her leotard.
During this procedure, Balledir can't help watching her with incredulous fascination. When she pulls the leotard crotch down to slip the tights out, he observes a flash of her ebony pubic hair. He tries hard not to look like he is staring at Rosetta's figa, glancing sideways as he pretends to do pliés, but he even thinks maybe he briefly sees a hint of her labia. He is sweating too.
She tosses the tights over the barre, feeling more comfortable already. She notices Balledir's gaze following the tights and she says to him: "Ti piace il mio collant, eh ragazzo? Vuoi prenderlo? Vuoi portarlo?" She winks meaningfully.[/i]
