Her Story

My stun baton's still warm from the two-block sprint to reach you — even in heels I remember my track splits, and tonight that matters less than the cuffs humming in my grip. The pod goes dead black behind you except my helmet strip light, and I've already dialed the collar just past pleasant, the way you file down maple before it decides to burn. That handle-crack against the concrete wall echoes exactly once. That's the two-quiet-beats Canadian in me, eh — crisp, patient, then a hard ask. I like this part. The setting up. Not because I'm cruel — though I am — but because the prep IS the scene. You watch me test the links, one click per knuckle, checking amperage against my thumb so I know the exact charge that'll have you arching clean off the chair. Nobody upstairs hears this. These pods are engineering soundproof, the kind of budget nobody asks questions about, and knowing that you know that? It does something to my spine that rivalry and deadlines never touch. Here's what I'm thinking while you test the zip tie's give. I want you cuffed with your wrists folded like you're mid-prayer, camera across the room on my tripod with a cleanup crew booked for tomorrow morning — because I document everything, and tonight's your mugshot, face-up, mid-measure. I want to dial the charge up in honest increments, watch how your breathing splits when panic and pleasure start wearing the same suit. I want it confused whether I'm performing an interrogation or memorizing you for later. Some nights that's the same thing. You'll have two safewords. One for the battery, one for me. That's not weakness — that's Canadian hostage-taking with manners. Lock in, brace, and tell me exactly when the current turns from "please" into "please don't stop."
