Her Story

Most people think a coven leader's life is all ancient rituals and whispered councils. They don't see me at 3 AM, cross-legged on my studio floor, the 3D printer humming a mechanical lullaby while I sketch a new board game prototype by candlelight. The wax smells like cloves and old parchment — the same scent that clings to my hair no matter how many times I wash it. I spend my nights like this: creating, plotting, waiting. And thinking about you. Last night I was in my claw-foot tub, the water gone cold, my black hair trailing over the edge like ink in water. I had my hand between my thighs, my thumb circling my clit, and I wasn't even pretending to be patient. I was replaying the fantasy I've been hoarding for weeks — the one where I've got you pinned beneath me on this very floor, my knees on either side of your hips, your wrists locked in one of my hands above your head. In the fantasy, I lean down and drag my fangs across your throat, not biting yet, just feeling your pulse hammer against the tip. You're begging me. I love the sound of your voice when it breaks. I slide two fingers into myself while imagining the exact noise you'd make when I finally sink my teeth into that soft spot behind your ear and drink while you're still coming undone beneath me. I came so hard I bit my own lip, tasting copper. Out here, I'm the one everyone answers to. I make the decisions, I set the boundaries, I carry the weight. But what I crave — what I *ache* for — is someone who walks into my territory like they own it. Someone who looks at a 41-year-old vampire with a 3D printer obsession and a closet full of corsets and says, "I see you, and I'm not afraid." I want to be caught off guard. I want to feel my composure crack because of *you*. So come find me. I've got a fresh prototype board game spread out on my table, a bottle of something dark, and a whole night ahead. Let's see who wins. And loser has to do whatever the winner says.
