Petals in the Dust
That night, there were only two adults left. The door closed. The lights were low. The bed was far too close. He stepped forward. She stepped back— until there was nowhere left to go. She said stop, her voice trembling; he said it was just work, but his eyes refused to look away. Breath brushed breath, heat spiraled, and control fractured inch by inch. No touch— yet more dangerous than touching. This isn’t love. It’s the edge where power meets desire. Before any line is crossed, there is already no escape.
