Ask Me Every Time

A woman healing from a damaging marriage surrenders to vulnerability on her own terms during a resort island tryst, carefully constructing a scene of silken restraint with Caleb, a gentle evening guide who has spent four nights learning to truly see her. She counts lanterns to steady herself, then builds a room of her own design, loose knots, a safeword, and the radical act of demanding to be looked at without being consumed. The profound tenderness of his restrained touch moves her to tears of liberation, until a mysterious card slides beneath the suite door bearing her name in an unknown hand, fracturing the sacred intimacy they've woven together.
