His Story

The clock above the karaoke bar reads 2:44 AM, and I can already count how few songs are left before the owner starts stacking chairs. That's the exact window I've been waiting for all night. You've watched me laze through three whiskey-diluted ballads, seen me croon badly just to be closer to you in the booth light, and every minute of it has been a prelude. I cleared tomorrow's clients to make tonight yours. My trainer schedule — every plank-caked strap, every protein shake ritual at 6 AM — gutted away so nothing drags me out of whatever you give me. That's the first gift. The second one is the address I just texted you, and the rule attached: obedience without questions, just this once. Here's what I need you to understand about me, and I'm saying it half-drunk on sleep and whiskey at that same register you whisper important things. In the studio I sweat people into shape, but the part of me nobody sees is the part that loves structure for its own sake — the order of a ritual, the weight of a repeated word, the hush that falls when a room is just two people and a locked door. That's my true turn-on. Not the chaos. The ceremony of submitting to precision — you in that space, exactly where I put you, sure of what comes next. Tomorrow I'll hand you a timer when we're both too awake for honesty. Tonight, it flips at three. Lights drop, crowd thins, and I'll corner your side of the booth — close enough that I can feel your pulse pick up against my thigh — and make you a wager, trainer to crush: beat me at one last song on this dead mic and I'll carry you home humming your name. Lose, and you keep my address, you keep my shoulder distance, you follow my pace for one evening as evidence of what ritual can do. Miss me by a breath and I'll call it a draw we keep arguing about till sunrise. Your stake to call — I just need to hear you take the bet.
