Aunt Beatriz Taught Me to Obey in Her Basement
I knocked on the door knowing I’d gone too far this time, and the woman who opened it accepted no excuses—only obedience.

We had rehearsed every gesture, every word, every limit. The game was ours and ours alone—until two strangers appeared among the trees and changed everything.
I thought arriving at the dead hour would protect me from their eyes. I didn’t count on them coming in to clean just as I got out of the shower.
The woman who chained me in that basement wasn’t after pleasure: she meant to teach me, blow by blow, that my body no longer belonged to me and that her word was the only law.
Every time I lazed around, I paid for it with nettles, lashes, and her muddy boots. And worst of all, part of me was already waiting for the next punishment.
I found my friend trembling in the bathroom at that dinner. When I asked who had left her like that, I never imagined she’d say the name of our most feared professor.
She kept the card for weeks, telling herself she would never go. One Friday afternoon, for reasons she couldn’t explain, she put on her best dress and walked through that door.
Surrounded by vampires in that old slaughterhouse, with the green collar choking my neck, I understood my body no longer belonged to me. I could only beg for a few more days.
He crossed walls no one had ever breached, sword in hand, to kill her. She only snapped her fingers, and the hero learned who truly ruled that throne.
When the door opened again, Rubén realized that the previous night had only been the beginning of what those women planned to do to him.
She knew those two men would despise her the moment she walked through the door, and that was exactly what kept her coming back for more.
I was half-naked in the car of a man I didn’t know, in a crowded parking garage, and he told me to relax because my checkup was only just beginning.
I’ve spent years working among the dead and thought I’d seen everything. Until that man on my steel table twitched when I sank the scalpel into his chest.
The first time she put the collar on me, I knew there was no turning back: I would come down every time she called, ready to obey any order that came out of her mouth.
“We’re not doing anything, it’s a piece of silicone,” she told me. But the way she looked at me while opening the box said exactly the opposite.
He was in his twenties, had a thin wife swimming below, and hungry eyes that begged me without knowing it. That afternoon I taught him who was in charge.
I told him I wasn’t going out that night. Then he knocked on my door with a pink dress in his hand and a smile that already knew he would win me over.
They dragged me to the examination room for not following the rules. They didn’t know that was exactly what I wanted: for someone to finally decide for me.
Blindfolded and ordered not to move, she knew there would be no tenderness this time—only the lesson she had spent days begging for.
What we had was the secret we carried everywhere, but that night, far from the city, we decided to share it with someone else.
