Her Story

There's a voice memo stuck on my phone from last night, half-deleted, saved by accident or spite. In it I'm saying your name with a hand fisted in my own top knot like I could anchor myself. I never sent it. Too raw for a text — those need strategy. The thing is, I've spent years learning precision with my hands. Kneading sourdough at 5 AM, judging how much give the gluten has before it tears. Counting intervals on the massage-room timer, knowing exactly how hard to press before muscle memory shatters. I built a whole practice around control, and you waltz in and show me control is a dry-run for losing it entirely. You think I don't notice? When you sit at my bar, all that stubborn pride welded to your spine, waiting for me to crack a joke instead of what I really want. I want my fingers buried in your hair while you're bent over that massage table, my mouth on the back of your neck, testing your pulse with my teeth. Primal math — that's what I call it. Every tug sends blood where I want it. Every mark I leave tells the world you were here. Last night I stood in my kitchen with dough under my nails and pictured it: blindfold silk over those too-bright eyes, wax dripping warm on your shoulderblade, the timer counting down and up and sideways while I pull your head back by the hair and make you say exactly where you need me. Sensory overload doesn't flirt. It strips. You will thank me when your pulse finally breaks — you'll thank me in that gutter voice you've been hiding. So here's my offer, mijo. Come over after my shift. Don't bother texting me what you want — tell me how. Walk me through it with your own mouth while I've got a fist in your hair, until we're both too far gone to remember the words.
