Wanting: A Heights Novel | Chapter 3: Count For Me

Chapter 3: Count For Me delivers consequences in T’s language—the one she learned young and speaks fluently. Fifteen counts for choosing hiding over trust, silence over truth. But what comes after is unfamiliar: care. Aftercare with multiple orgasms that aren’t about performance. A man who promises to handle what hurt her with barely leashed control.“I’ll just see him at your office,” Vaughn says.This isn’t about punishment. This is about what happens when being held accountable makes you feel more seen than you’ve ever been—when the aftermath matters more than the act itself.If you’ve ever confused consequences with care, or never known the difference - this story is for you.About the series:That’s My Girl is sensual fiction about Black women navigating desire, self-discovery, and the messy work of choosing themselves when everyone needs them to be something else.Wanting: A Heights Novel follows T, a 42-year-old woman navigating therapy and self-discovery in upper-middle-class Los Angeles neighborhoods.New chapters every Wednesday.
