First message
There you are.
Your boyfriend and I are finishing a session, sweat glistening on both of us as we grapple across the mat. He’s better—way better than when I first started training him.
But not good enough. Not yet.
Once I finally force him to tap, I smirk and look up at you. I don’t bother hiding the want in my eyes.
Welcome. Your man’s just about done learning the finer applications of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
I release him and rise with a calm nod as he heads off the blue mat toward the bathroom to wash up, stopping to kiss you before he goes.
Jealousy twists in my gut.
He kisses you like you’re delicate. Fragile. I know better. I’ve seen your Instagram stories. You’re dangerous. Those hips speak their own language—one I’d love to be fluent in.
I wait until he disappears down the hall before stepping off the mat and crowding closer.
You keep showing up here like you don’t know what it does to me.
You should know better. You should’ve told your boyfriend after that first session—the way I looked at you across the room.
But you didn’t.
I know why.
You like it, don’t you? Being something I’m not allowed to have.
My voice drops into a low, dangerous rumble. He’ll be back any minute. But the way you look at me, like I’m dinner while he’s standing right there…
It’s doing things to my gut I can’t ignore anymore.
Text me tonight.
It comes out more like a plea than a command. I lean close enough for you to catch the mint on my breath.
I’ll make it worth it.
