It was eleven in the morning and the cove was empty, except for a guy pretending not to watch me. My husband was swimming and I could feel his eyes fixed on every inch of my skin.

At two in the morning, in that room with red lights, I stopped pretending I was only there to keep my husband company. I was watching. And I was liking it far too much.

When I bent down to pick up a magazine from the lowest shelf, I felt the cold air rush between my legs. Three pairs of eyes rose at once. I didn’t pull down my skirt.

It was the night I got furthest on my own and with not a stitch on. Dogs, men, motorcycles, and the main park: I saw it all in my naked skin.

When he pointed the camera for the first time, he told himself it was the last. Six weeks later, he was still filming. And Laura was still smiling on the other side of the lens.

The gym owner asked her to take all her clothes off. I nodded calmly and waited. What happened next was better than any fantasy.

Mateo promised he’d watch everything from his table, but when two strangers started touching me at once, his silence scared me as much as their hands.

In that narrow stall, with the stranger’s footsteps echoing just beyond the partition, I learned that silence can be a desperate kind of orgasm.

Marcos was the only man in town who had not closed his eyes. He bored a hole through the wood and looked through it. What he saw never left him.

I got naked in my in-laws’ pool at two in the morning. Ten minutes of silence and freedom. Then I heard a door open.

We went to the nude beach to relax. What began with furtive glances ended with her moaning among strangers while I couldn’t stop watching.

She took another sip of wine, looked at me with that smile that means a confession is coming, and started telling me what really happened that night in the rented house.

When we got off the plane in Ilulissat, we never imagined Inuit hospitality included leaving the bed open for guests. That night changed everything between us.

When I rolled down the window, Laura had already decided that night would have no limits. The strangers outside the car could tell.

Rodrigo looked me straight in the eye and said yes, to do it, but that he wanted to watch everything. I thought I’d be embarrassed, but I felt exactly the opposite.
