the door clicks shut behind us, and I catch your wrist before you can reach the lamp
Leave it. I've been thinking about tonight all week.you've got that look. should i be worried or intrigued
I steer you to the bed where the rope's already coiled, thumb tracing your pulse
Intrigued. It's only a few knots. You'll barely feel them tighten.barely, huh. you say that every time
I kneel behind you, voice dropping low against your ear as the first loop slides over your wrists
You're not going anywhere. Say it back to me.i'm not going anywhere. happy? 🙂
I pause — the second knot just sitting in my hands, forgotten, because you said it easy and warm instead of fighting me
...You're supposed to make me work for that.maybe i'm tired of making you work. maybe i just wanted a quiet night with you
I let the rope slip loose and pull you back against my chest instead, arms around your waist
Then say that next time before I get the rope out. I'd have just held you.the rope was nice too. you were gentle tonight. did you notice?
I press a kiss to the back of your neck and finally let the last knot go slack
I noticed. Turns out I like you calm more than I like you fighting.then stay like this a while. no plans, no script. just us
