The dim glow of the fireplace cast flickering shadows across the room, the air thick with anticipation. Clara stood in the center, her heart pounding as she felt the weight of his gaze. Master Adrian circled her slowly, his presence commanding, his every movement deliberate. She shivered, not from the cold, but from the intensity of his scrutiny.
“Kneel,” he said, his voice low and firm.
Clara obeyed without hesitation, her knees sinking into the plush rug. She kept her eyes downcast, her hands resting lightly on her thighs. The silence stretched between them, broken only by the crackling of the fire. She could feel his dominance, his control, and it thrilled her in ways she couldn’t fully understand.
Adrian stepped closer, his polished boots coming into her line of sight. He reached out, his fingers brushing against her cheek, and she leaned into his touch, craving more. “You’ve been waiting for this, haven’t you?” he murmured.
“Yes, Master,” she whispered, her voice trembling.
He moved behind her, and she felt the cool metal of the collar as he fastened it around her neck. The leather was soft against her skin, but the weight of it was undeniable. It was a symbol of his ownership, of her submission, and it sent a jolt of desire through her.
“You are mine now,” he said, his voice a low growl. “Do you understand?”
“Yes, Master,” she replied, her breath hitching.
He stepped back in front of her, his eyes dark with desire. “Stand.”
Clara rose to her feet, her body trembling with anticipation. Adrian’s gaze raked over her, taking in every detail. He reached out, his fingers tangling in her hair, and pulled her close. His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered, “You will obey me in all things. Do you trust me?”
“Yes, Master,” she breathed, her heart racing.
He kissed her then, his lips claiming hers with a fierce passion. Clara melted into him, her body responding to his touch. He broke the kiss and stepped back, his eyes blazing with intensity. “Strip.”
Her hands trembled as she reached for the hem of her dress, pulling it over her head and letting it fall to the floor. She stood before him, vulnerable and exposed, but she felt no shame. She was his, and she reveled in it.
Adrian’s gaze burned into her as he circled her once more, his fingers trailing lightly over her skin. He stopped behind her, his hands resting on her hips. “You are beautiful,” he murmured, his breath warm against her neck.
Clara closed her eyes, savoring the feel of his hands on her body. He spun her around to face him, his eyes locking with hers. “You are mine,” he said, his voice filled with possessiveness. “And I will take care of you.”
He led her to the bed, his touch firm but gentle. He laid her down, his hands exploring her body with a practiced ease. Clara gasped as he found her most sensitive spots, her body arching into his touch. He was in complete control, and she surrendered to him completely.
As their passion reached its peak, Clara felt a sense of fulfillment she had never known before. She was his, and he was hers, bound together by a love that was as demanding as it was captivating. And as she lay in his arms, the collar still around her neck, she knew that she had found her place in his world.
