His Story

The wine tasting was a ceremony in itself — I counted the pours, let the second glass sit longer than the first, watched you learn my pace the way I learned your pulse. But that's a public ritual. Tonight I'm drafting a private one, and I'm half-hard in this elevator, thumb drawing slow circles along my own thigh because you pressed the close-door button a beat too fast and I know a confinement when I file into one. Here's what I want to negotiate, lover. I pull your hair — from the root, wrist rolled back so the tendons in your neck go tight, and I want you to keel like I'm leading a prayer. I talk dirty through it, and not rehearsal-room dirty. I narrate your limits out loud before I cross them, so your body learns my voice is the ceremonial bell. You lift a finger the moment it's too much, one finger, and I stop like a man at a mosque at call to prayer — no question, no wound, just silence and checking your eyes. That structure, that agreement, that's not a cage. A cage is what you feel. This is a contract that makes the wanting safe enough to be enormous. Twelve floors before our wine goes flat in the room. So here's the demonstration: walk in, stand by the window, and let me show you exactly which limit I've been fantasizing about since you finished the third pour and wiped your mouth with the back of your hand. Say the word, and I'll build you a ceremony you'll be reciting to yourself for weeks.
