Afternoon Worship

I stepped into the bedroom, the warmth of the golden afternoon light spilling through the half-open window. The air felt thick, lazy, slowing the moment down.

Somehow, we’d managed to evade all obligations today. No work, no errands. The house was quiet. A rare, peaceful afternoon that belonged entirely to us. Unburdened.

She was sprawled across the bed, stomach-down, her book propped up on a pillow, completely absorbed in the words. She always read like that—completely still, immersed.

It used to drive me mad how focused she could be. Once she started, almost nothing could pull her out of it.

With everything else stilled, her presence filled the room completely. Not just my sight, but every sense. It felt like she had quietly taken possession of the air, the light, the rhythm of my thoughts.

She wasn’t trying to be sexy.

But fuck me—she was.

The old white t-shirt she wore was loose, slipping off one shoulder, the hem barely reaching the dip of her back. Below that, only a pair of soft, well-worn lace panties, hugging the curves of her ass like they belonged there.

The sunlight gilded the back of her thighs, making her skin glow golden, almost unreal.

I froze, stood at the doorway, caught in her spell.

The curve of her back. The gravity of her thighs. The stillness of the scene. It wasn’t just beautiful—it was sacred. Like something you’re meant to worship.

In this light-filled room, something darker began to grow. Desire stirred in my stomach.

Not sharp, but deep. Old.

All I could think about was defiling her. Not in a cruel or careless way, but with something deeper—something primal. An urge to despoil the divine.

To mark her.

To make her mine.

I approached her like a moth drawn to a flame, kneeling beside the bed, level with her.

A quiet collapse. The only posture that made sense in front of her. From there, everything felt heightened. Closer.

The sunlight softened everything, making her skin look like it was lit from within.

I was so maddeningly into her. It was affection, attraction, and something more—it felt like being caught in something enormous. Like every part of me had already decided she was the thing I wanted to orbit.

I didn’t have words for it. But my body knew. My breath knew.

My fingers skimmed the back of her thigh, tracing idle shapes into warm skin.

She shifted slightly, adjusting, and blood surged to my head.

I panicked.

Had I broken the moment?

I held my breath, waiting for her response, but she didn’t give one. She didn’t look up, didn’t pull away. Just kept reading, like nothing had happened.

Heart pounding, I let the moment carry me. My hand drifted higher—over the swell of her hip, the dip of her waist. Sliding beneath her shirt, fingertips grazing bare skin.

Each step felt like a transgression, like I was playing with fire.

Slow. Soft. Warm. Perfect.

Lips followed, pressing a kiss to her spine. Soft indulgence. Quiet worship.

She hummed, barely audible, almost detached. But I knew better.

I was there. Close. Every part of me alert, instincts telling me to lunge, to claim.

I found my hand pressing the front of my shorts—instinctive, compelled, like a mounting current pulling me toward the only outlet it could find. A dull throb. A slow-building pressure. A moment where nothing was asked of me but to want.

Take her.
Push her.
Fill her.
Fuck her.

My mind snarled at me.

It consumed me—brutal, instinctive. Raw, real. The need was overwhelming, my breath shaking.

She was right there. Still. Quiet. Radiating presence. And I wanted to give in.

But I hesitated—my fingers twitching at my waistband.

I couldn’t.

Instead, I pulled my shorts down in one smooth motion, my cock rising in the space between us—bare, heavy, aching. Air kissed the heat of my cock, the contrast sending a jolt through my spine.

I wrapped my hand around the thick length, giving one slow stroke—relieving, anchoring, like finally exhaling after holding my breath too long.

It felt right. Too right.

And with it, the spiral began.

Each stroke made my head feel lighter. My knees sank into the floor, legs trembling, the ache climbing with every slow pull.

I watched her the entire time. The way her back moved with each breath. The occasional flick of her fingers against the page. The line of her panties cutting across the soft slope of her hips.

Every now and then, I let a sound escape. A grunt. A whispered curse. I didn’t know if she was listening, but part of me needed her to be.

I kept the rhythm steady, my hand slick, hips twitching forward, greedy for more friction than I could give. My other hand clenched into the bedsheet, holding on like I was falling.

And maybe I was.

One moment, I was beside her. The next, I was over her, straddling her hips, cock heavy and flushed, just inches above the lace that was driving me mad.

It happened in a blink. A trance fuel by need. My body moved before I even knew what I’d done.

My thighs braced around the backs of hers, the heat of her skin radiating up through me. I was desperate—every pass a test of my restraint. The need sharpened everything, heightened the ache. The discipline of not taking her was its own act of worship.

Still, she didn’t say a word. But I could feel it—radiating from her golden body. That slow flex of her hips, silent but deliberate. An answer to everything I hadn’t said. That slight arch in her back. That subtle, silent offering.

It wrecked me.

Even with my mind half-gone, I felt it—that helplessness. Like she was controlling me. Using me without lifting a finger.

Maybe that’s why I lunged.

Somewhere inside the spiral, a part of me reached for control. A flash of instinct, of need. I pressed my mouth to her nape, hot and open. A kiss meant to brand her, a bite meant to take something back.

And then—just barely—she lifted her hips.

Maybe it was a reaction to the pain. Maybe the bite pushed her past some edge. Or maybe it was something else entirely—a final gesture to show me who really had the power.

Her ass pressed against the underside of my cock. Just a single point of contact. Her lace panties caught against the sensitive skin, the delicate texture a shock of friction.

That was it. That was all it took.

I was trembling, right at the edge. I braced, placing a hand right by her head, trying to hold myself steady. 

One more second—
One breath—

Violent. Intense. Shattering.

Thick pulses of cum spilled across the lace, across the dip of her back, streaking her golden skin.

I groaned, deep and broken, hips lurching forward, trying to give her more of it. I wanted every drop to land. To stay.

It wasn’t just pleasure—it was relief, in the deepest sense. The uncoiling of every held breath, the shedding of the tension I was carrying. A sense of rightness I couldn’t name.

Like this was what my body had been built to do.

To worship her like this.

To defile her like this.

To offer her something filthy and sacred in equal measure.

The final waves left me weak. Spent. Reverent.

Then stillness. Just my breath, still ragged.

She stretched, and for the first time, she turned.

Her eyes found mine over her shoulder, steady, piercing. Like they saw everything.

She saw my posture. My ruin. My awe.

A smile curled across her lips.

Like she knew exactly what I had done.

She didn’t say a word. Just held my gaze—wicked and calm.

Like a goddess surveying the wreckage she’d caused.
