It was supposed to be ordinary—faces passing, noise swelling, the endless flow of bodies and chatter. But he was there. Somewhere. Always.

The table had been moved, shifted into a place where traffic never stopped—high visibility, every angle exposed. And somehow, that meant him too. No matter where he stood, he could see. No matter where I looked, he was there. The kind of presence that bends the air when it enters a room. Broad shoulders. That smile that snags like a hook in flesh.

I was working, distracted, hands busy arranging what needed arranging—when the world tilted. A message missed. A shadow at my back. He appeared without sound, his request carrying the weight of a command. And then I was in the dark.

Hands on brass. The sting of bare skin against skin, quick, sharp, alive. His hand fisting in my hair, a kiss pressed hard and deep before I could breathe. Then nothing—just his voice, telling me to have a good day, before he vanished into the noise again.

The hours stretched, but the tether never loosened. Every time he moved through the crowd, my body betrayed me. My ass still tingled where his hand had left its fire. My clit pulsed, wetness pooling, need gnawing. His presence turned me into prey—trained, restless, waiting for the moment the snare pulled tight.

A few chances passed us by. But then the dark found us again. A door open, risk humming through the air—he pushed me against the wall, his hand striking me over and over, each slap blooming into ache and heat. His breath at my ear, words that made my knees weaken: how his slut needed to be fucked. His hand slid higher, claiming more, until the world narrowed into hunger.

And then—like always—it ended. He slipped back into the crowd, faceless to anyone else, and I was left gasping, aching, dripping.

The day wound down, things packed away, hands busy again. But just as I turned to leave, there he was. One last look—planned, surely planned—and it undid me. Just a glance, and my body was no longer mine.

Predator.
Prey.
Strings pulled in silence,
and I will never stop answering.
