It begins with the way he looks at her—steady, unwavering, as though he sees past every mask she wears. Most men glance and move on; he studies, lingers, and lets his silence do the undressing. His eyes hold a weight that makes her chest tighten, not from fear but from recognition—he sees her hunger, her loneliness, the part of her that wants more. That gaze strips her bare without ever touching her.
She tries to look away, to laugh it off, to dismiss the tension as harmless curiosity. But when his eyes follow, not with aggression but with certainty, she feels her resistance weaken. It’s not just that he sees her—it’s that he sees what she hides from everyone else. No matter what she tells herself, her body leans toward him, betraying her desire for the very thing she should refuse.
By the time his hand brushes hers, she is already undone. The truth is simple: she doesn’t resist him, not because she cannot, but because his eyes have already taken what walls she thought she had. In that moment, surrender feels less like defeat and more like release—an acceptance of the desire she no longer has the strength to deny.
