Spicy Hot
Her acquiescence, even forced, even timid, gives me a sensation of power greater than her screams earlier.
I guide her under the spray. The hot water hits her, and she flinches, closing her eyes. She lets out a sigh, a mix of pain and relief as the water flows over her shoulders, her back, washing away the sweat, the sex, the traces of our struggles. I pause for a moment, watching her. Water droplets slide down her spine, linger in the hollow of her back, stream over the perfect curves of her buttocks, still pink from my grip. She is a living sculpture, a masterpiece that I have defiled and will now wash. The paradox unsettles me.
