Mature

My cousin had gone to the beach with her friends. When I rang the bell, my aunt opened the door wearing her apron and a smile I’d never seen before.

I went into my room and found her naked in a corner, masturbating while she watched me. She said nothing. Neither did I. I just sat down in front of her.

I’ve spent years thinking about that moment: Valeria in the empty classroom, her finger pointing at my crotch and that smile promising everything that never happened.

I went to his house thinking I was doing a good deed. I found my photos on his phone, and what I did next I haven’t told anyone until today.

I went to that party alone, thinking I’d dance for a while and forget. I never expected Diego or what came after to change my night completely.

I’d only gone to say hello, but Matías couldn’t take his eyes off me. When his father left, the boy proved he had more initiative than he appeared to.

Her cold hands moved slowly over a place no hand should have gone. I didn’t make a sound. But something broke that afternoon, and nothing was ever quite the same.

Andrés thought he was alone in the sports center showers. When he looked up and saw the coach watching him from the door, it was already too late to stop.

She had been sad for days since her boyfriend left her. I sat beside her on the sofa with no clear intention. But she rested her head on my shoulder and everything changed.

I went to change my shoes and ended up spying on the owners of the estate. The next morning, their daughter and mother made sure I took part too.

When I saw him looking at her that way, instead of jealousy I felt something I hadn’t expected. That first day at the resort, we were no longer the same couple who had arrived that morning.

It was my first day settling into the house when I heard splashing in the pool. I looked out and saw them naked, kissing, completely unaware of me.

We were the kind of people who never broke the rules. Until we turned forty and decided that one night, we could allow ourselves anything.

She got out of the car with her skirt raised, and her husband calmly asked me from the driver's seat if I liked what I saw.

They asked me to keep her sister company and look the other way. It was a reasonable plan until Valeria decided she wasn’t going to be ignored.

The most powerful voice in the country put her card in my hand with one instruction. Half an hour later, I was standing at her door.

When his hand corrected my posture from behind, I felt his body against mine and knew what came next had nothing to do with training.

I went to the gym without underwear on purpose, so everything would show. After weeks of stares, he finally came over with a proposition that left no room for doubt.

When Elena opened the door, drenched and out of options, her look said it all before she even offered the night in words. Mother and daughter, fixed price.

Carlos told me he was a dangerous man. He was right. But no one had looked at me like that in months, with that kind of raw hunger that doesn’t know how to hide itself.
