Attention came easily. Advantage followed. Pleasure, influence, momentum-she knew how to start these things and how to leave them behind without residue. Want, for her, was public and cooperative, a current she stepped into and out of at will. It had never asked for more than her presence.
That changes when she meets someone who does not move.
The refusal isn't sharp or theatrical. It lasts. It neither advances nor withdraws, and that stillness exerts its own pressure. Attraction doesn't disappear-it tightens, reshaping itself into insistence. She alters her body, her habits, her limits-not to be admired, but to test resistance. Training gains purpose. Strength layers itself on. The body begins to register differently, carrying weight, changing how rooms receive her.
