When I came out of the bathroom with the plug still inside me and my body shaved smooth, I knew that entire day belonged to her and her rules.

When he opened the bag, he found a burgundy bra and a note: “Get familiar with the sensations. Tomorrow we begin in earnest.” There was no turning back.

I've been sleeping alone for months. But when insomnia tightens its grip, I have her on top of me again, moaning my name like before everything broke.

I closed my eyes to imagine a stranger, but when I opened them I found half the site watching me from the scaffolding. And I didn’t want to stop.

I was hanging laundry at dawn, cold and bored, when something in the patio’s silence lit me up inside—and I didn’t want to stop.

I’m naked on the rug, facing the mirror, still trembling from the last orgasm. And then I decide to play back what I just filmed of myself.

I hesitated for a couple of seconds, but the drinks had already made the decision for me. I took off my dress, sat on the sofa, and let the others settle on the floor to watch.

I went to the office with the plug in and stockings under my clothes, dreaming of what my wife would do when I got home. That night, onstage, everything changed.

When the old man said, “Come for fifteen days and don’t ask questions,” I should have refused. Instead, I grabbed my bag and climbed into his truck.

I climbed those stairs with my heart racing, never imagining I would leave the apartment transformed, with a woman’s name on my lips.

I thought I had the whole house to myself. When I heard that deep voice behind me, I knew my secret had just been discovered.

The light stayed red, his latest photo stayed on my screen, and my hands had already stopped asking permission. I just had to get home. Or not.

After midnight I put on the red heels, opened the gate with the remote, and went out for a walk. I only wanted to feel seen. I didn’t expect someone to stop.

I liked being watched, desired, chosen above everyone else. That night, a country man took me from the dance floor to a place there was no turning back from.

I had spent months preparing for Adrián, but it was another man who taught me that night what it really means to give yourself over.

His wife had left him in front of everyone that very afternoon. Now, well past midnight, a pilot he had never seen was smiling in his living room and pouring vodka as if he knew the house.

The first time barely hurt; this time I climbed on top and set the pace, determined to show him everything I had learned to feel.

I thought nothing could be worse than letting him drive me home. Until he shut the apartment door and I put my bag on the couch.

I opened the nightstand drawer. The book was there, where it always was. And in ten minutes I could no longer stay still.

I ran out in my nightgown, naked underneath, with the vibrator in my hand. The door clicked shut, and I knew I was locked out. Someone was already in the hall.
