The Afternoon I Took It All Off in the Empty Hallways
As soon as the last classmates left, she went upstairs. She took off her skirt first. Then her blouse. Then everything else.

After months in captivity, the last thing Valeria expected was for Sofía herself to ask to be bound. But that’s how that first night began.
We were left alone in the hotel under the excuse of choosing shoes. When I knelt to put them on her, everything changed. It shouldn’t have happened, but neither of us stopped it.
I let my sandal fall without anyone seeing. My foot found his leg under the table, and when I touched him, I knew there was no going back.
When the scissors finished their work, the mirror gave him back a gaze that was not quite his own. And the voice he heard in that salon would not leave him alone.
Esteban was asleep when I got up to shower. By the time he woke again, I had already decided who else I wanted in that bed before noon.

When I went into his room and saw him, with my underwear in his hands and my name on his lips, I knew what was coming had no way back.
When she turned in those heels, the dress lifted just enough to reveal the exact line where the stocking ended and the skin began. And then she asked me for a massage.
When he confessed his fetish that night, I knew I could never look at him the same way again. I told him it would happen only once. We both knew that was a lie.
We arrived at the meeting ready to hear reproaches. No one warned us that that afternoon we’d be the ones doing the teaching.
We’d been locked up for days when the conversation turned dangerous. His confession in the dark ended with my hands on him.
The queen ordered him hydrated, but Sofia emptied the goblet over her own foot. He licked every drop from her instep, trembling with thirst and humiliation.
I found her in the kitchen in clothes I’d never seen before, and when she brushed my shoulder on her way past, something in me that had no right to exist woke up.
Every time I walked into her bar, her eyes would find mine over the top of her glasses. That afternoon I decided I could no longer pretend I didn’t notice.
