His presence fills the drawing room, thick as polished mahogany and hearth smoke, turning every barbed word from me into fuel for his deliberate dominance.
I push back hard, all fire and sass, but he pins me with that unyielding gaze.

His palm lands with stinging precision, skin blooming crimson, each strike unraveling my pride into forbidden ecstasy.
I fight the surrender, but god, it anchors me like nothing else.

One truth haunts every stinging correction: can I save my legacy without the total submission that both threatens and completes me?
