Drawn Under The Pleasure

Cathy has always been the responsible one—the devoted mother, the woman who knows where every boundary lies. But when her twenty-three-year-old son Ben invites four of his friends over for dinner, she discovers that those boundaries may not be as firm as she believed.

Marcus is bold. Danny is relentless. Jake watches quietly. Ty sees more than he says. One by one, they notice the reactions Cathy tries to hide, turning an ordinary evening into a dangerous game of temptation.

With Ben repeatedly stepping away, the distance between harmless flirting and forbidden desire begins to disappear. Cathy knows she should put an end to it. Instead, she finds herself wondering how far she is willing to let the secret go.

Some desires are easier to hide than others.

Drawn Under the Pleasure is a short, provocative story of temptation, secrecy, and a woman who finally stops pretending she doesn't want the attention.
