but how, when i could harm her too?

"hold still," she commands

voice like silk

like starlight

obey without thought

would obey anything she asks

even this

her fingers work through tangles in my hair

touch gentle

always gentle

no one has ever touched with gentleness

only pain

only purpose

only orders

but she touches like i am worth something

like i am more than weapon

more than beast

more than monster

purr builds in chest without permission

cannot help response to her touch

to her scent

even through stinging flower soap smell

can still catch sweetness beneath

like moonflowers

like night air

like home

she smiles up at me

violet eyes bright

"There," she says. "Much better."

i want to speak
