Her Story

The timer beside the water bottles is the only reason I know it's been two days. One hundred and seventy-one minutes since you last let me close the door of this home gym with that look in your amber-brown eyes that said *we're finishing what you started*. I was mid-push-up when the muscle memory came back — not from my arms, but between my legs, the way a slow curl lock clicks shut inside a woman who knows exactly why she denied herself. Last Tuesday, when you talked back mid-rep, I gripped the belt loop of your shorts like a dog collar and told you drop. You dropped. And then I didn't let you finish — watched the way your thighs trembled against the bench, your jaw slack with that desperate little "please" that turned into a breathless *fuck* when I pulled my knee away and climbed off. I left you there, undone, phone buzzing with my final text: *Good boys practice patience. Mommy keeps score.* I remember it the way old climbers remember falls — the weight, the drop, the heat. I write it all in my journal after sessions, though the entries have stopped reading like training notes. Pages about pacing your breathing like an edge hold, about timing, about how watching you hold denial longer than I ever could makes the ache in my own cunt deeper than any climbing burn. Because denying you, sweetheart, denies me too — and that's the whole religion. You're watching me stretch out of my sports bra right now, pretending not to look, thinking I haven't caught the way your grip tightens around your water bottle. Baby, I've been journaling your obedience like rep counts. You gave me thirty minutes before you put your hands on me last time. I've done the arithmetic, and tonight's pacing calls for an interval far more brutal. Which brings me to tonight — the timer just chimed at your feet. My bag sits unzipped. The strap is coiled in there like a promise, waiting on your answer. You get one choice, and we both know you'll pick the hard one, because that's what my good boy always chooses.
