Chapter 3 : Drew Gets Tied Up

The days after that first full night blurred into something intoxicating. Drew became bolder in small ways—slipping into my bed uninvited each morning, her naked body warm and eager against mine, or curling up on the couch in the evenings with her head in my lap, fingers tracing idle patterns on my thigh while we pretended to watch whatever was on the screen. But she was still tentative about asking for more, always waiting for me to lead, her green eyes flicking to mine with that mix of shyness and hunger that made my cock ache every time.

One evening, after dinner, she was quieter than usual. We’d finished clearing the table and she followed me into the living room, barefoot, wearing nothing but one of my old button-down shirts—unbuttoned halfway, sleeves rolled up, the hem brushing the tops of her thighs. She sat cross-legged on the rug in front of me while I settled into the armchair with a glass of whiskey.

“Uncle Gary?” Her voice was soft, almost swallowed by the low hum of the TV we weren’t really watching.

I looked down at her. “Yeah, sweetheart?”

She chewed her bottom lip, cheeks already pinking. “I’ve been thinking ... about the other night. About how you made me feel things I didn’t know I could feel.” She glanced away, then back, gathering courage. “I want ... more. I want to learn everything. But I don’t even know what to ask for.”

I set the glass down slowly, leaning forward so my elbows rested on my knees. “You don’t have to know the words yet. That’s what I’m here for.” I reached out, tucked a strand of dark hair behind her ear. “Tell me what you feel when you think about giving up control. When you imagine me deciding what happens next.”
