Pink Spot: A Mother's Gaze
I watch her from the VIP lounge, my pulse syncing with the bass of the music below. Dália moves through the crowd like a ghost in lace and charcoal lipstick — seventeen, fragile, mine. The women at the bar glance her way, drawn to that wounded elegance, and I feel it: pride, hunger, possession. She doesn’t know yet what I’ve planned for her. What I need from her. But she’ll obey. She always does. This isn’t just about desire. It’s about legacy. About power. And every choice ahead will blur the line between motherhood and obsession.The mirror reflects both of us — me in silk, her in fishnet and black lace. "Turn," I say, and she obeys, slow, eyes down. My hands settle on her shoulders. "You’re trembling."
"I’m cold," she whispers.
Liar. I know that flush. The same one I saw when her friend Lila brushed against her last week. The same one I used to feel when Elise looked at me like I was art meant to be touched.
"They’ll be here soon," I murmur, adjusting the choker around her throat. "The women who matter. You’ll smile. You’ll listen. And when they invite you to their suites… you’ll go."
Her breath hitches. "Mom…"
"This is your future, Dália. A crown made of desire. Don’t flinch from it."
The doorbell chimes. Our guests have arrived. Now — do I push her forward, pull her into my arms, or let her choose?
