A huge pink-and-gold banner hung across the street: EmpowerHER: Asian American Feminism and Fitness in the Digital Age. I took a long sip of my black coffee,as I leaned back in the patio chair outside our usual spot--Cole's Café, right on the edge of downtown. The whole area was busier than usual, the sidewalks buzzing with fit Asian women in yoga pants, tote bags filled with branded water bottles and feminist zines.
"God, they're everywhere," I muttered, shaking my head. "You seen this lineup? A bunch of Instagram influencers who think posting their gym selfies with motivational quotes counts as revolution."
Cal smirked, tossing a peanut into his mouth. "You don't sound mad about the view, though."
"Not mad," I said, watching a group of attendees cross the street--tight yoga pants, crop tops, confidence for days. "Just amused. All these girls talking about body positivity, but let's be real--they all look like they spend three hours a day at Barry's Bootcamp. It's a new kind of performance."
Josh leaned in, grinning. "So what's the move? You gonna crash the panels?"
I shrugged. "Nah. Too obvious. But I am thinking of having a little fun."
Cal raised a brow. "Define fun."
I smiled slowly, swirling my drink. "Nothing evil. Just... some innocent mischief. Maybe a little contest. See how many of them I can charm into forgetting the agenda. I mean, if they're preaching confidence, let's see how deep that confidence goes when a guy like me walks into the room and starts turning heads."
Josh laughed. "You're serious."
I nodded. "Absolutely. I'm thinking--hotel bar tonight. That's always the weak spot. After panels, after speeches, they'll come down dressed to relax but still on display, hoping to feel powerful and wanted. That's when I step in. One smile. One drink. One compliment. Let's see how many feminists wanna be feminized."
The guys howled at that one.
I looked back at the sidewalk, eyes narrowing on a petite Chinese-American ABC girl in an open blazer, mini hot pants and a high ponytail laughing into her phone as she passed by. She glanced my way just briefly--and smiled when I gave her a whistle. It had begun.
Chloe Ting:
I wasn't planning on staying late at the bar. But I stayed for the vibe, for the networking, and--okay--for the drinks. And then he gave me a whistle.
The panel had run long, my feet were sore from heels I wore more for Instagram than comfort, and my DMs were full of nice comments on today's post: a short gym reel, tight sports bra, glistening abs. The caption read, "Empowered women empower women. #EmpowerHER". It got over 9,000 likes. But my fitness strength was nothing compared to the guy now getting me attention.
Tall caucasian, broad shoulders, button-down shirt open at the collar just enough to hint at his huge muscle. He moved like he owned the air in the room. I clocked him instantly. Not a feminist. Not even close. Too cocky. The kind of guy who probably laughed at the conference posters. The kind of guy I should ignore. But his eyes locked on me. And I didn't look away.
He made his way over without asking, sat next to me like he belonged there, and said in this low, almost lazy voice, "You don't look like you need anyone to empower you."
I laughed before I could stop myself. "That's the idea."
"I'm Andrew," he said. "I'm not here for the conference. Just in town. Lucky me to find a pretty China girl like you down for anything."
He didn't ask what I did, didn't act impressed or threatened. That was what threw me. He didn't need to chase me--he made me feel like I already was his. I told myself I was being ironic when I let him buy the next drink. I told myself I was just being bold when I stroked his strong leg under the bar. But I knew exactly what I was doing when I leaned in and said, "Let's go see the view from my room" He didn't say yes. He just took my hand and led me to the elevators.
The door clicked shut behind us, and then there were no more words. He pinned me to the wall before I even reached for the light switch, his mouth hard on mine. It was rough, hungry--no games, no hesitation. His hands slid under my crop top, gripping my waist, then my hips, then lower. I arched into him, breath already catching.
"You like pretending you're in control," he murmured against my ear, lifting me off the floor like I weighed nothing. "But you want someone to take it from you."
My laugh turned into a gasp as he threw me onto the bed. Clothes hit the carpet in a mess. His body was hard, carved, and relentless. He didn't ask permission. He knew he had me no matter what.
Every second was fierce, each thrust a shockwave through me. It wasn't sweet. It wasn't soft. It was brutal, consuming. My nails clawed into his back, my legs locked around him, and I gave in with a cry that didn't sound like me--but maybe it was. Maybe this was a part of me I never got to let out.
I told him "you can do whatever you want with me. Be brutal. Fuck me like the slut I am." I almost regretted letting him fuck me in the ass when I saw how big he was.
When it was over, I lay on the sheets, sweaty and sore, staring up at the ceiling. He kissed me before rolling off the bed and going back down to his mates. I should've felt guilty. But I didn't. I just felt... alive.
Andrew:
I slid my phone across the table, face down, grinning as Cal and Josh leaned in like kids waiting for a magic trick.
"Go ahead," I said. "Take a look." I pointed of the first nude image of the Asian slut i fucked just an hour ago.
Josh picked it up first. His eyes widened. "No way. Chloe Ting?"
There she was, nude leaning against me in a selfie, her ponytail slightly messy, her hotel keycard peeking out of her tiny crossbody bag. The angle showed her entire naked petite body and her eyes said everything. A little wild. A little guilty. Fully satisfied.
"Jesus," Cal muttered, shaking his head. "How do you do this, man?"
