She’s soaked.
My finger slides through her like she’s been waiting just as long. A sound escapes me—dark and pleased. She clenches. I could slide into her right now.
Her shame is palpable.
She thinks I don’t notice the flush on her cheeks. That this humiliates her and ignites her at the same time.
“Wet already,” I murmur, grinning. My lips brush her ear.
“I knew you would be.”
I make her straighten and turn to face me. Her nipples graze my chest with every breath.
“You’re a monster,” she whispers. Her pupils blown wide, eyes brimming with tears.
I grin under the mask. She doesn’t back away.
Slowly, I lift my soaked finger. Pull my mask back slightly.
“I’m your monster.”
Then I slip my finger into my mouth.
And her lips pop open.
The taste of her coats my tongue—salt, heat, and everything I imagined, but more. It lingers like a secret I’ll never tell.
She watches. Her embarrassment is a living thing. So is her want.
The war between them flashes across her face, and I memorize it.
I lean in closer than I should. My mask brushes her throat, and I inhale deeply.
Skin. Sweat. Adrenaline.
I breathe her in like I’m making a memory I can carry into every nightmare.
Then I step back. The space I leave feels like a wound.
I watch it land. That cold rush. That ache she wasn’t expecting.
She misses me already.
She hates it. I fucking love it.
Silence stretches.
Tension, tight as a wire.
“Are you…” Her voice trembles. “Are you going to rape me?”
The world narrows to her.
I stare.
Long enough for her to doubt asking.
Long enough for her to feel the weight of it.
