Chapter 66: I Never Said I Was Done With Pleasure
"They thought I'd calm down. Get softer. Grow out of it. What they didn't understand wasâpleasure was never the phase. It was the point." â Mistress Staci
There's a myth about women like me.
That we burn brightly for a whileâ and then settle.
That power is a costume. That lust is performance. That pleasure must be traded for peace.
They don't understand.
Pleasure is my peace.

We still fuck like we're trying to memorize each other.
She still moans when I take control, still growls when I let her take it back.
We've become fluent in each other's thresholds.
Sometimes she begs. Sometimes I do.
We both know how to draw out a touch until it becomes a confession.
⸝
One night, after a dinner party, she pulled me into the hallway before we'd even closed the front door.
"You wore that dress on purpose."
"Of course I did."
She dropped to her kneesâright there, still in heelsâand kissed my thigh through the slit.
"Say you still want me."
I didn't need to.
She already knew.
⸝
We own toys now.
Good ones. Luxurious. Wicked.
There's a drawer that makes guests blush and makes her eyes sparkle.
⸝
But sometimes it's just her hand on my lower back in the kitchen. Or the way she bites my shoulder when I win an argument.
Sometimes it's her saying, "I want to make you ache, not because I'm dominantâ but because you're the only thing that's ever undone me."
And I let her.
⸝
I'm not chasing novelty.
I'm just not done feeling.
And I refuse to pretend I am.
⸝
So yesâ
We still leave bruises. Still cry out. Still whisper filth into the spaces between tenderness.
Because I never said I was done with pleasure.
And I never will be.
Chapter 67: The Day I Felt Most Alive
"It wasn't a milestone. It wasn't planned. But everything we wereâevery spark, every breath, every thrillâwas there. And I've never forgotten how it felt." â Mistress Staci
We didn't plan anything.
It was supposed to be an ordinary Saturday. Groceries. Laundry. A walk, maybe.
Instead, we stayed in bed until noon. Not out of lazinessâ but because she kept finding reasons to touch me.
⸝
First it was just her head on my stomach, reading aloud from some article that annoyed her.
Then her mouth, sliding south as punctuation.
Then both of us laughing as we tangled in the sheets, the kind of laughter that only comes from utter comfortâand hunger.
By the time we finally made it downstairs, we were glowing. No makeup. No clothes. No hurry.
⸝
She dared me to go out for lunch with nothing under my coat.
