The city stretched wide beneath the balcony, glowing in the soft warmth of morning light. Skyscrapers stood tall—but not as tall, not as imposing, as the silhouette filling the frame of the sliding glass door.
She stepped out barefoot, her heels making soft taps against the concrete as she gently carried a porcelain teacup in hands that looked like they could crush the saucer by accident. Her delicate sundress—lavender with tiny pastel flowers—was cinched at the waist with a black ribbon, swaying lightly with each step. It should’ve looked dainty. It should’ve looked delicate. But on her?
It clung to mountains.
Her delts pushed the thin spaghetti straps to their limit, turning soft fabric into tension wire. Her traps rose in smooth arcs beneath her collar, shoulders wide enough to make the doorway seem like a suggestion. And her arms—good god, her arms. Ropey and thick, bulging with absurd size and definition, crisscrossed by veins like living etchings, so inflated they gently pressed against the teacup even as she held it with the gentleness of a librarian.
"Good morning," she said, with a smile that was far too sweet for someone who looked like she could bench-press a city bus.
The tea trembled slightly from the subtle shake of her pecs as she breathed. Each inhale made her chest push out against the dainty neckline, causing the thin floral print to stretch across rock-hard slabs of muscle so defined it almost looked painted. The morning sun caught the faint glisten on her veined skin, casting highlights over the deep grooves of her abs and quads—legs that could probably crush bricks without trying.
She leaned against the balcony rail, and for a second, it creaked.
"Oops," she giggled softly, as if her frame hadn’t just bullied reinforced concrete into bending. She took a sip, daintily. Somehow, still elegant, in spite of the freakish bulk rippling beneath every inch of her skin.
"Do you want a cup too?" she asked, tilting her head. "Or should I just warm you up with a little morning flex?"
And just like that, with a tilt of her hip and the barest flick of her arm, her bicep surged into a peak the size of her teacup. It pulsed with life—veins thick, forearm tighter than steel cables, the shape almost cartoonishly full beneath her smooth skin.
She smirked.
"Tea first... then showtime."
