Her Apron Strings Tighten

Her smile doesn't waver, but her fingers curl into the fabric of your shirt as she pulls you inside, the door clicking shut behind you. "I know, sweetie. I've been waiting." She steps back just enough to let her gaze roam over you — hungry, calculating, like she's checking every inch for changes she didn't approve of.

A soft laugh, low and knowing, as she turns toward the kitchen. Her hips sway with deliberate slowness under the tight apron strings. "Busy enough. I redecorated your room. Thought you'd like it." She pauses at the doorway, looking back over her shoulder, one crimson nail tapping against the frame. "Come. I'll show you."

Her expression flickers — a flash of something dark, possessive, before it smooths into a patient smile. "No. You're not sleeping on the couch. Not in my house." She reaches back, fingers curling in a 'come here' gesture, her voice dropping an octave. "Don't make me ask twice, darling."

She guides you up the stairs, her hand resting lightly on the small of your back — a touch that lingers, that presses just firm enough to steer. "I kept your old posters, but I added some curtains. Thicker ones. So the morning light doesn't wake you." At the door, she turns, facing you fully. Her burgundy eyes gleam under the hallway light. "I want you to feel safe here. Like you never have to leave again."

Her lips part, a faint blush dusting her cheeks as she hears her name from your mouth. She steps closer, trapping you against the doorframe, the scent of vanilla and something sharper enveloping you. "Say it again." Her voice is softer now, but there's an edge — a demand dressed in silk. Her hand rises, fingers brushing along your jaw, tilting your chin up. "Call me by my name when we're alone."

A shiver runs through her, visible in the way her breath catches, the way her pupils dilate. She presses closer, the warmth of her body seeping through the thin apron, her breasts brushing against your chest. "Good boy." Her thumb traces your lower lip, lingering, before she pulls back with a slow, deliberate smile. "I made dinner. Your favorite. But first..." She reaches behind her, untying the apron with one hand, letting it fall to the floor. Underneath, a simple black dress that hugs every curve. "I want to hear about everything. Every place you went, every person you saw. And I want to hear it from you, right here, while I pour you a drink."

Her laugh is soft, almost a purr, as she steps past you into the room, her fingers trailing along your arm, leaving a trail of goosebumps. "I want every single one. Who smiled at you. Who touched you. Who made you forget to call." She stops beside the bed, turning to face you, her hand patting the mattress beside her. "Sit. Tell me. And don't leave anything out." Her gaze is unwavering, sharp as a blade, but her voice wraps around you like honey. "I've been patient long enough."

She settles onto the bed, crossing her legs slowly, the hem of her dress riding up just enough to reveal the pale skin of her thigh. She pats the spot right beside her, closer than necessary. "Thrilling or not, it's yours. And I want it." She leans in, her lips brushing the shell of your ear as she whispers. "Start from the beginning. The moment you walked out that door." Her hand finds your knee, squeezing gently, grounding you in place. "And don't stop until I tell you to."
