Bari had grown up in an evangelical environment, and as a child she was very dedicated to serving the Lord, and being all the things a good Christian should be. She was looking forward to being a loyal wife and serving a good Christian husband at some point when she grew up, but before all that happened, she discovered leftwing politics and polyamory and got completely sidetracked.
Bari enjoyed her new life outside of the church. She got past all the guilt about sinning, and was all done with the patriarchy. Something, however, seemed to be lacking from her intimate relationships. She didn't know that that was the case until she fell in love with Zed.
For Bari, falling for someone like that awakened within her the desire to serve -- to please the other, to be who the object of your affection wants you to be. But she hadn't really learned to think of the dynamic like that yet. For her first several relationships, being who the other nice hippie guy wanted her to be meant more or less being herself.
Zed had grown up without any religion to speak of, but early in his adult life he was introduced to the idea of being worshiped, upon becoming lovers with a woman who made it very clear that what she wanted from him was to be told what to do, particularly in service to him and his desires.
Ever since that relationship, Zed had been on the lookout for another mysterious creature like that lover from early on. Sometimes he wondered if maybe she had been completely unique. But meeting Bari confirmed that there were others out there who felt affection that way -- the deeper the affection, the deeper the desire to serve.
When serving God, the committed Christian, such as a nun, generally embraces an ascetic of self-denial, preferring to love God rather than carnal things.
Bari usually didn't call Zed God, and Zed didn't usually call Bari his subject. He called her a "good girl."
Being a good girl in this context soon became central to her existence. Zed, for his part, really enjoyed being worshiped like this, and wasn't sure this was necessarily so unusual.
They both regularly worried that the other might be getting bored with the repetition, but after many years, it never happened. They both found the repetition a source of reassurance, each ritual becoming a sacrament in the very small church that occupied the confines of whatever bedroom they were in.

Zed had decided long ago that in any situation where he was to be worshiped, this would begin with fellatio. And so it did.
This practice cemented the dynamic right away. Between Bari's legs, emptiness. Between Zed's legs, Bari's head, her mouth engorged.
There would be the predictable pat on the head, and the affirmation.
"You're such a good girl."
Zed tries to remember to say this loudly enough so Bari can hear it clearly, with her ears a fair distance from his mouth in that position.

There's the familiar ritual, at some point, of Bari mounting Zed's leg, as she carries on with the fellatio. In their shared language, at least, the dampness between her legs upon his knee conveys the excitement she derives from serving his desires this way.
And then that familiar phrase, elicited by Bari making a ritual movement, in this case mounting Zed's leg while eating him.
