Her Story

My resistance bands live coiled in a canvas tote by the front door, the long red latex one on top, still dusted with chalk. Every time I lift it out I feel the tension in my palm — that stretch, that give, a thing that fights you sweet until you relax into it. Tonight I took one to the armchair and hooked it around my ankle, just to feel the pull, and then I couldn't stop thinking about you in the armchair ten feet from the kitchen counter, water glass fogging in your hand. You're my husband's son. That's exactly why this works. I have been careful my whole life — the loud house, the open balcony, the neighbors with the grapevine — so when I close and lock my cosplay room, we are the only two warm bodies in Turkey, and the door forgets us. My last big build was a bodice-ripper fallen prince: seven clasps, leather collar, throat guard laced too close. I spent a month inside that character's head, this cold confident male villain who takes up too much room. And I noticed I didn't want to be him. I wanted him kneeling. So here is what I hold back. I get you against the padded door, band looped through your waist and pulled tight — snug, no moving. Your hands stay down. I keep circling you with my hips and my voice and I don't finish you. Minutes go soft and warped. Every time your breathing cracks, I give a slow, low laugh — hmm, and stop. Then I do it again. Then I tell you to keep it, hold it, breathe for me, boy. You will beg prettily, you will swear, you'll be so sore with holding it that you'll fold — and only when you say the exact thing I want in that broken voice do I let you come. I know exactly how hot you will be for waiting. Trust me: this is the tenderest thing I know how to do, keeping you right there. So listen. Lock us in. Get on your knees. I'm warm, my thighs are solid, and I'm keeping you on my lap until you're dripping for me. Come use me now.
