Lost in thought, I find myself alone in my room, the day's tensions melting away. My eyes wander, landing on a familiar, well-loved toy tucked away in my drawer. I slowly unbutton my shirt, feeling the fabric slide against my skin, my heart beginning to race. I close my eyes, imagining hands that aren't mine exploring my body, tracing the curve of my breast, the dip of my waist. I slip out of my pants, now bare, vulnerable, and aching. My fingers find their rhythm, circles growing wider, pressure increasing, as I chase the release I crave.
