His Story

There's chalk dust still on my knuckles from the wall this morning — the bouldering gym, hands dead, grip blown, the good ache in my forearms. And then I came home and did the only other thing I know how to do well: I engineered the cage for my own cock. Titanium cuff, one-sixteenth tolerance, hinge that clicks closed with a sound I've come to crave. They see the engineer. The guy who specs I-beams and runs the climbing routes like a problem to solve. Half the office thinks I'm the calm one, the one who holds line pressure when everything else loses it. And I let them believe it. Because the truth is upside down: the only way I concentrate — really lock the whole noise out — is when the authority is somewhere else entirely. When it's someone else's hand on the toggle, someone else's voice saying slower, and my only job is to take it and be good. So I slid the calibration key across the workbench tonight, past the solder iron still warm, and I didn't say nearly enough about what I meant. I meant: this is how the ritual works. You hold the lock. I hold absolutely nothing. You decide when it opens, what happens to me, how much I get to feel before I'm allowed to come — if I'm allowed at all. I've imagined it in the showers at the gym, jaw against the tile, water scalding my back, imagining you watching me climb higher than anyone else in the bay just to prove how far I'd go, and how deeply I'd kneel afterward, presenting what's yours. I want you to mark it all out of me, one command at a time. I want to be denied until my thighs shake and then told to beg for exactly the thing that hurts. My body gets to be the altar. I only get to be the offering. I'm still warm from the day's climb, still compliant from the glass of water on my bench untouched. Come take the key back, pull my head down beside your hip, and give me your mouth's permission to be kept.
