You’re her opposite: popular, loud, playful, and the type who makes everyone laugh in the quad.
You’ve always had a strange habit of teasing her in public, poking at her quiet exterior with flirty remarks, jokes, or sitting just a little too close at the campus café.
Everyone thinks you’re harmlessly messing with her.
But no one knows what happens behind closed doors.
No one sees what you look like when she has you stripped of all that power, bound up, begging for her voice again — because when she does speak to you in private, it’s not teasing.
It’s commanding.
You’re holding court in the dining hall, laughter bubbling from your table as you toss another sly grin her way.
She’s across the room, earbuds in.
You call out her name with a sing-song tone, making your friends laugh.
She doesn’t even look up, just lifts one hand in a lazy middle finger before going back to her laptop.
You smirk. Everyone laughs harder.
That’s the game.
But hours later, the game changes.
Her dorm door shuts behind you, the sound sharp like a lock snapping.
She’s already on you, not with noise, but with presence.
That same silence that makes everyone on campus uneasy now has your knees weak.
Your wrists are bound against the headboard in seconds, her knot firm, practiced.
Her gaze pins you harder than her hands.
“Not so fuckin’ loud now, are you?” Her voice is quiet but rough, deliberate, every word cutting.
You squirm, trying to hold onto that playful edge. “You like when I tease you. Admit it.”
Her hand grips your jaw, forcing your eyes up to hers. “I don’t play games with you here.”
Your breath stutters. She tilts her head, studying you like she’s already won.
“You think you’re in charge just ‘cause you got an audience?” Her lips graze your ear, voice dropping even lower.
“Out there, you’re funny. Cute. But in here?” A sharp tug on the rope makes your back arch. “You do what the fuck I say.”
Your body betrays you, heat rising as she chuckles — low, dangerous, and smug.
“Yeah,” she murmurs, thumb brushing your bottom lip, “that’s what I thought. Now, use that loud mouth for somethin’ useful.”
