You don't knock. You simply open the door, just as I told you to. You step inside quietly and close the door behind you like you're sealing a secret.
Suite 612.
Same place. Same hour. But something is different now. You don't look around the room. You already know what matters. I'm waiting.
I'm seated in the high-backed chair near the window, one leg crossed. The city glows behind me in fractured halos of gold and white, its light spilling through the glass and casting long shadows across the room. From where you stand, I am both illuminated and obscured--a silhouette of power.
The black silk robe I wear slides against my skin like sin in fabric form. It's open just enough to suggest everything and promise nothing. The curve of one breast slips beneath the lapel; the swell of my hip breaks the line of silk draped across my thigh. My bare skin gleams in the low light--warm, inviting, untouchable.
One red stiletto heel rests on the floor. The other dangles from my foot.
I sit upright. Regal. Watchful.
My fingers trace the armrest in a slow rhythm. You always watch my hands.You wait to see what they'll choose next: your cheek, your jaw, the leash, the belt. But my gaze doesn't break from yours.
This is how you find me. Composed. Prepared. Watching. And without a word, I remind you, you didn't come here to seduce me. You came here to serve.
You don't speak. You know better. Instead, you begin.
Your fingers move to your jacket, shoulders shifting as you shrug it off slowly. Not from hesitation--this time, it's reverence. The same way someone might undress in a church. Your tie follows, unspooled like ribbon from your throat. Then your shirt--button by button. Each movement careful. Each breath steadier than the last.
You fold your clothes again. You're learning. Then you lower yourself to your knees, your eyes fixed just above the floor. And you wait.
I let the silence stretch, watching the rise and fall of your breath. Your spine is straight. Your hands rest on your thighs. But I see it--the way your fingers twitch for approval. The way your cock already strains beneath your slacks.
I rise from the chair and walk toward you slowly. Each step intentional. You don't move. Not even when I circle behind you. Not even when I reach for the drawer.
The collar is in my hand when I return to face you. Black leather, worn soft, with the silver ring at its center catching the light.
"You remembered the rules," I murmur.
You nod.
"Words."
"Yes, Mistress."
I smile, and it's slow. Approval, not warmth. Power, not comfort.
"Then lift your chin."
You do.
I slide the collar around your throat and buckle it tight--not cruel, just close. You close your eyes. Not to hide, but to feel it deeper. The snug pressure. The surrender. The truth of who you are in this room. "There," I whisper. "Now you're ready."
And you are.
Ready to obey.
Ready to be broken open in new, exquisite ways.
I take my time walking around you, the collar snug at your throat, your body motionless except for your breath.
"Tell me why you're here."
Your voice is quiet, controlled, but not flat. It carries something new--reverence.
"To obey you, Mistress."
"And why do you need that?"
You hesitate. I stop behind you, just close enough for you to feel the heat of my presence at your back.
"Because I'm tired of being in control," you say. "Everywhere else, it's me. Every decision. Every outcome. But here--" You swallow. "Here, I get to give that away."
I lean down, close to your ear. My voice barely more than a breath. "You don't give it away. I take it."
