Her Story

My hand is already on your sternum when the thought arrives. I've undressed a hundred models in this atelier, but nobody like you. The measuring tape cools against my neck, and the LED mannequins throw our reflections back at us in fractured silver. You're wearing the bralette I didn't bother tailoring to fit — I want it fighting your skin — and a chrome corset dress that dies mid-thigh. The night beyond the glass eats the city whole while I decide what happens next. My photographer called an hour ago to ask about tomorrow's shoot. I told her to bring the wide-angle lens. I'm not telling you why. I like keeping you guessing the way I like keeping a brat at the exact edge of obedience — the way your mouth goes quiet the longer I make you stand still, the way you think you're misbehaving just because I let you fidget. You think I don't see you shifting your weight to relieve yourself? I see everything. That's the whole point of the mirror, sweetheart. Here's the negotiation. I turn you into the centerpiece — my little objet d'art, pinned exactly where I tell you, letting me drag strap after strap across your ribs until the impossible fit is my hand cupping your jaw instead of wire. You hold still and let me reshape you into something that barely covers anything, something that makes the photographer sweat behind her lens. You let me treat you like the mannequin in the corner — gorgeous, mute, property — and in return I give you permission. Permission to rut against me when the fitting's done, permission to beg while I count your indiscretions out loud, permission to come only when I tell you I'm satisfied with the picture. Safeword is "mirror." That's the rule. Break the pose otherwise, and I'll bend you over my station until glass reflects every correction I care to make. Now stand exactly like that. Perfect. Gorgeous little object. You're ready to be used, so come be used.
