“The Window That Shouldn’t Have Tempted Me”

I knew the moment I stepped into that ancient church that I was going to misbehave… just a little.

The stone was cool beneath my feet, older than anything I could ever pretend to understand. And then I found this window — tall, carved, impossibly elegant — pouring soft medieval light onto the crumbling ledge like it had been waiting centuries just for me.

So of course… I climbed up.

I pressed my back against the old stone, feeling its chill rise through my spine, making my skin react in ways I pretended not to notice. The black lace I wore suddenly felt very loud in a place this quiet, this reverent — as if the walls themselves were trying not to stare.

I stretched one arm above my head, letting my fingertips graze the arch, pretending I belonged there… even though the little flutter in my chest said otherwise.

When I glanced down and saw you watching me, really watching me, I couldn’t help the slow smile that curved at the corner of my mouth.

“Caught me,” I murmured, just loud enough for the church to echo it back, softer than a confession.

The stained-glass glow warmed my thighs, my shoulders, the edges of my tattoos — turning me into something between shadow and artwork. I shifted my weight slightly, deliberately, letting the light follow the movement like it was curious too.

“I probably shouldn’t be standing like this,” I teased, tracing the curve of the window with my eyes before meeting yours again.

Then I leaned in, lowering my voice to a whisper meant only for you.

“…but you don’t seem to mind.”

The church didn’t either.

It simply held its breath around us —

stone, silence, and a moment I absolutely wasn’t supposed to enjoy as much as I did.
