Ronan pulled the leash again, guiding her onto her back. She went without resistance, her violet hair spilling across the dark sheets, her heart-shaped pupils fixed on his face with an intensity that bordered on worship.
He was still figuring this out. The collar, the leash, the way her breath caught every time he tugged. It was new territory. But Sarael had planned everything, and she’d planned it for him. The least he could do was follow through.
"Stay."
He commanded, testing the word. Sarael’s response was immediate. Her body went still beneath him, her fingers curling into the sheets.
"Yes."
She whispered it like a prayer.
Ronan’s free hand found the collar, tracing the leather band with his thumb. She’d worn this for hours under her sweater, waiting for him to wake up. Waiting for him to touch it.
"It suits you."
Her eyes widened. Then her lips curved into that too-wide smile, the one that meant she was genuinely delighted.
"You’re learning fast."
"I have a good teacher."
He tugged the leash again, just enough to lift her chin. Her throat was exposed, the collar pressing against her skin.
His other hand slid down from the leather band to the straps of her lingerie, tracing the sheer fabric across her collarbone.
"You said you wanted to be devoured. Right?"
"Yes~"
"Then take off everything, slowly, no magic."
Sarael’s shadows withdrew immediately, the lingering wisps of darkness retreating from her body like obedient pets. Ronan wanted her to undress herself, and she would do it exactly as he asked.
Her fingers moved to the straps of her lingerie first, sliding them down her shoulders with deliberate slowness. The sheer fabric slipped lower, revealing more of her pale skin inch by inch.
Her eyes never left his face, watching every micro-expression, every flicker of approval.
"Like this?" she asked, her voice softer than usual.
"Just like that."
The first strap fell away, then the second. The lingerie pooled around her waist, and she paused there, waiting for his next instruction.
Ronan tugged the leash gently, pulling her into a sitting position. She rose without resistance, her body pliant under his guidance.
"Keep going."
She reached behind herself, fingers finding the clasp of the lingerie. It came undone with a soft click, and the remaining fabric slid down her hips, joining the rest at her waist.
She was bare now except for the collar, the shadows completely gone, her skin pale against the dark sheets.
"Good girl."
The words slipped out before Ronan could think about them. But Sarael’s reaction made him glad they had. Her pupils dilated even further, the hearts practically glowing. Her lips parted, and a small, breathless giggle escaped her throat.
"Say that again."
"Good girl."
She shivered. Her whole body trembled with something that looked almost like relief. Like she’d been waiting to hear those exact words from him for longer than she’d ever admit.
"Now lie back."
She obeyed immediately, her head finding the pillows, her violet hair fanning out around her like a halo.
The leash rested across her chest, the shadow-made cord cool against her skin. Ronan kept one hand wrapped around it, maintaining that constant, gentle tension between them.
He took a moment to just look at her. The goddess who had killed for him, who had spent weeks planning this night, who had worn a collar under her clothes for hours just so it would be warm when he touched it.
All of that power, all of that devotion, and she wanted to be his.
"Spread your legs."
She did. Her thighs parted without hesitation, exposing the wetness already gathered there. She’d been ready for this since the bath. Probably since the dinner.
Probably since the moment she’d first commissioned the collar weeks ago.
"Touch yourself."
Her hand moved immediately, fingers sliding down her stomach toward the slick heat between her thighs.
"Slow," Ronan added. "No rushing."
Sarael’s breath caught, a tiny hitch that she tried to swallow down. She wanted to be patient; she really did. She’d already waited for weeks, for months, for centuries.
But her fingers slid through her folds with a practiced familiarity, circling her clit in slow, deliberate strokes.
"L-Like this?"
"Mhm. Keep going. And don’t stop until I say so."
She nodded, her teeth sinking into her lower lip as her fingers continued their slow rhythm. Her hips twitched with every pass, but she forced herself to stay still, to follow his command.
Ronan watched her with an intensity that matched her own. He’d spent so long being the one pursued, the one desired, the one who wasn’t sure if he wanted this.
But now, after months of being with her, and now seeing her spread out beneath him, collared and obedient and trembling with need, he understood what she’d been trying to give him all along.
Control. Real control. Not the desperate clinging of a goddess who was afraid of losing him, but the willing surrender of a wife who trusted him completely.
"Faster now."
Her fingers picked up speed, slick sounds filling the quiet room. Her breathing grew ragged, her chest rising and falling beneath the leash. The collar pressed against her throat with every inhale, a constant reminder of who she belonged to.
Sarael’s fingers worked in tight circles, her hips beginning to roll against her own touch despite her efforts to stay still. The command had been clear: no rushing, but her body was fighting her.
Ronan could see it in the tremor of her thighs, the way her teeth pressed deeper into her lower lip.
"Don’t hold back," he said. "I want to hear you."
A moan slipped free immediately; she’d been waiting for permission. Her head pressed back into the pillows, throat exposed, the collar stark against her pale skin.
"Ronan~!"
"Keep going. Don’t stop."
He tugged the leash gently, just enough to remind her it was there. Her back arched slightly off the bed, chasing the sensation.
The shadow-made cord pulsed in his grip; it was warm now, feeding off her arousal.
"Does the leash feel good?"
"Yes, yes, I can feel you holding it. Every time you pull, it’s like—"
She gasped as he tugged again, harder this time. Her fingers stuttered against her clit before resuming their rhythm.
Ronan didn’t even need to hear it. It was obvious that whatever magic Sarael had used for the leash, it was connected to her body in some way, like another pleasure organ.
He could tell he was doing a good job at being a dominant husband.
