You can do this. You signed the damn contract. You want this. All of it.
Even the part where your dignity packs its bags and leaves the building.
I slid them down slow. Not too slow–I didn’t want to make it weird. Just enough to show I was trying. Committing. Following the beat. Every second, I felt like an idiot on a stage without a spotlight. Naked. Literally. Figuratively. Emotionally.
I stepped out of them and stood there–bare, flushed, a little shaky, and somehow… proud?
Because I hadn’t chickened out.
Because I’d followed through.
Because when I looked up, Aiden’s eyes had darkened–not just with lust, but with approval.
And that hit me harder than anything else tonight–I’d stripped for him.
But more than that?
I’d obeyed.
“That wasn’t so bad for your first time,” he rated my performance. “I would’ve liked to see your back–the curve of your spine leading to that sexy ass of yours. I’m sure next time you’ll do much better, baby boy.”
“Yes, Sir.”
The sound of those words never stopped turning me on… or filling me with comfort and peace. I wanted to hear them from his lips until the end of time.
“Sit down, Noah,” he commanded.
I walked toward the couch across from him, but he raised his hand to stop me.
“Submissives are not authorized to use my furniture unless I say otherwise.”
Are you for real right now?
I almost argued. Almost took offense. But one look at his expression told me everything–he was dead serious. And no amount of sass would change that.
After all, he was my Master. I was his submissive. And in this world, I existed only to serve and obey him.

Chapter 31
I besitated, unsure where to go. but he didn’t give further instructions. So I made the only dinine that be like the paneb syder Brest-
I lowered respell to the foot, semiling at his feet, eyes lifting to take in his gorgeous godlike features as I waited
When no orders came, I muled against his legs–mind spiraling. Should I touch him in his stre? Offer something?
I shifted uncomfortably, desperate for direction. For a signal
Is there something the matter. Not be asked finally, catching my tension..
“Si… you told me to sit, but it feels like a test. Like you’re expecting me to do something—or offer something–and I don’t know what.
And it’s making me nervous.” I paused, then added. “Am I supposed to ask you what to fr? Or figure out ways to please you get
Aidem looked down at me with something between compassion and pride.
My beautiful Noah Be brushed his fingers along my jaw
Why would you need to ask or guess what to do… viden I can simply take virat I want? You are my submissive four freedom is in
knowing that no one in the world will ever be able to please me the way you dn
“And how do I know that, St?” I asked, heart twisting at the idea that someone else mig
“Because you are mine. And whatever I might want or need–I will take it from you. The MEX, you never have to worry if you’re enough or
adequate. You’re not in control. I am
And because of that, you will always please me. Always serve me just right.”
And just like that, something shifted inside me.
Everything shifted.
I didn’t have to strive. Didn’t have to compete or prove myself or wonder if I was doing enough. Not here… All I had to do was sit at my
Dominant’s feet, trust him and surrender.
And that thought alone made me feel fulfilled. Cared for. Needed.
And very aroused.
Before I realized it, my head had drifted to his lap, where it stayed–in perfect peace–as Aiden gently ran his fingers though my bail. 32 that moment, he could’ve put a knife to my throat and I wouldn’t have moved to save my life.
I was safe, and exactly where I needed to be.
