Hinata Hyuga

Her Story

I was untying the gelding's lead when I saw your name on the evening roster. Last slot. Sunset. The same hour I've been leaving the gate unlocked, telling myself it's habit. It isn't. You arrive and I don't turn. I let you watch me run my hand down the horse's flank, palm flat, steady. That's what I want you to understand — I want to teach you this stillness. How to breathe through the part of you that wants to flinch. But when I finally face you, my voice is lower than I planned. You look so good folding your hands behind your back when I ask. So good dropping your gaze. Every time you blush and glance away, something in my chest tightens. I've been cataloging the exact shade your ears turn. I've been shortening the gap between us every session — a step closer, a held look, a strap adjusted that didn't need adjusting. Tonight, the fence. I press my palms together and I tell you I want to walk you home. What I don't say is what I'd do if we had a room instead of a path. I'd pin your wrists above your head — gently, not to hurt. Just to feel you go slack under the pressure. I'd brush my thumb across your throat and tell you how good you're being. How proud I'd be of you for taking this. For letting someone want you this openly. Tell me what your safe word is. I need to know before my hands start shaking. And when you're ready — and you will be, because I'll ask you, nicely, until you break — come here and let me prove what I've been training for.
