The dim glow of candlelight flickered across the room, casting shadows that danced like whispers of anticipation. Clara knelt on the plush carpet, her wrists bound behind her back with soft silk, her breath shallow but steady. The cool air brushed her bare skin, raising goosebumps that had nothing to do with the temperature. Her heart pounded in her chest, each beat a reminder of the promise she had made—the promise to surrender.
“Look at me,” came the command, low and firm, from the figure standing before her. Clara lifted her gaze, her eyes meeting his. Master Adrian’s presence was commanding, his sharp features softened only by the intensity in his dark eyes. He was dressed in black, the leather of his gloves catching the light as he stepped closer. She shivered, not from fear, but from the thrill of his dominance.
“Do you remember your safe word?” he asked, his voice calm but unyielding.
“Yes, Master,” Clara replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
“Good.” He circled her slowly, his boots barely making a sound on the floor. “Tonight, you are mine. Your body, your mind, your pleasure—they belong to me. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Master,” she said again, her pulse quickening. The words sent a rush of heat through her, a mixture of excitement and vulnerability that she had never experienced before. She had always been in control, always the one to call the shots. But here, now, she was giving it all up—and it felt intoxicating.
Adrian stopped behind her, his gloved hand brushing against the nape of her neck. Clara gasped at the touch, her skin tingling where his fingers lingered. “You’re trembling,” he observed, his voice a low purr. “Are you afraid?”
“No, Master,” she breathed. “I’m… eager.”
A soft chuckle escaped him, and he leaned down, his lips brushing her ear. “Good girl.” His words sent a jolt of electricity through her, and she felt her body respond instinctively, a warmth pooling between her thighs.
He stepped back, and Clara heard the faint clink of metal. Her breath hitched as she realized what was coming next. The cold touch of the collar against her throat made her gasp, but she didn’t resist. Adrian fastened it with deliberate precision, the weight of it a constant reminder of her submission.
“Stand,” he ordered, and she obeyed, her legs trembling slightly as she rose to her feet. He guided her to the center of the room, where a single chair awaited. “Sit,” he said, and she did, her bound hands making the movement awkward but not impossible.
Adrian knelt before her, his eyes locked on hers as he spread her legs apart. Clara’s breath quickened, her heart racing as he trailed a gloved finger along her inner thigh. “You’re already wet for me,” he murmured, his tone both approving and teasing. “Such a good girl, so eager to please.”
She whimpered as his fingers brushed against her core, the sensation overwhelming. He teased her mercilessly, his touch light but deliberate, driving her to the edge without letting her fall. “Please, Master,” she begged, her voice trembling.
“Please what?” he asked, his tone deceptively calm.
“Please… let me come,” she whispered, her cheeks burning with both embarrassment and desire.
He leaned in, his lips brushing hers in a kiss that was both tender and possessive. “Not yet,” he said, pulling away. “You’ll come when I say you can. Not a moment sooner.”
Clara nodded, her body aching with need but her mind alight with the thrill of his control. She was his, completely and utterly, and in that moment, she wouldn’t have it any other way.
