Taboo Runs Wild
A sharp inhale when the scratchy wool habit brushed my nipples too roughly.
I told myself it was residual sin, the last fumes of a life I’d left behind.
Butthe fumes never cleared.
They thickened, curled inside me like smoke, settling heavy between my legs until I ached constantly.
By the third month I was sneaking into the supply closet at night, heart hammering, fingers trembling as I unwrapped the package I’d had delivered under a false name.
The first vibrator was small, discreet, a pale pink lie I told myself was just for “relief.”
