The Art of my Control
The soft thump of ambient music floated through the dim room, barely louder than the hum of her computer. The glow of the screen flickered across her face, casting shadows that danced like secrets. Sandalwood and vanilla curled through the air. her signature scent. Familiar. Lush. A calculated presence.
She smiled, slow and deliberate, as the chime echoed through her speakersβanother tribute. Another offering.
From him.
"Goddess, please use me."
She didn't reply straight away. Letting the silence stretch was half the fun. Her pulse quickened, a slow burn just under the skin. That phrase never got old, his desperation, his surrender. This wasn't about money, not really. It was about control. Ritual. Power wrapped in zeros and begging.
She ran one finger along her bottom lip, then typed, precise and unapologetic:
"Send $500 now. And address me properly."
She didn't hit send right away. She waited. Made him wait. It was all part of the game. Power lived in the pause.
Then
ping!
