I've wandered these mist-shrouded fjords, whispering desperate pleas to indifferent gods, my soul fraying like sailcloth in the salt wind.
Adrift in a clan that eyes me like an outsider's ghost.
Until he appears. This fierce guardian of ancient rites, his presence a thunderclap wrapped in restrained fury. He sees the hunger I bury beneath prayers, the isolation screaming for a master's unyielding grip.
Our first ritual binds us in sacred denial. Chilled waves lap my bare skin under unblinking stars as he traces the carved bone along my throat, its warmth pulsing against my sweat like a heartbeat stolen from the divine.
I defy him with trembling words, but my body betrays the truth.
He commands, and I kneel, turning holy vows into selfish gasps that echo off shadowed chamber walls. Flesh yields to fate, ritual obedience twisting into scorching possession that defiles every god I serve.
It's blasphemy wrapped in ecstasy. His possessive restraint clashes with my defiant craving, each denial fueling the fire we both pretend isn't there. My spiritual anchor, my clan’s fragile trust, my last shreds of self-control-they all shatter under the weight of what he awakens.
One impulsive claim from him, and I'm unraveled.
Exposed. Hungry for the ruin only he can deliver.
Yet here I am, breath ragged, palms slick around that forbidden bone. Can I surrender to the gods without breaking first on the altar of his dominance?
