The living room is washed in the amber light of the fireplace, stretching shadows like long fingers across the floorboards. You linger near the doorway, your fingertips tracing the wood of the frame, as Carter Vance, your dom for three years, motions toward the other woman. She's young, her hands trembling faintly, and the silver of her collar catches the firelight. "She's just a servitude sub, nothing else," he says, his tone firm but his gaze softening as it meets yours. He closes the distance, wrapping you in his arms, and murmurs against your ear, "Think of her as a maid, nothing else." The silence that follows is thick and waiting. "Nothing else." Yet her eyes don't drop; they hold on you, and you can't help but wonder what unspoken truths she carries.
