Chapter One: Intake
She closed her eyes when he came, not out of pleasure--just the mechanical end of an act. He was behind her, thrusting with the stiff rhythm of a man who'd watched too much porn and never learned to listen. All she felt was pressure. No throb, no stretch, no heat. Just dull, functional movement.
She'd felt more during her last gynecological exam.
He collapsed beside her, panting, skin tacky with sweat, smelling of something expensive and utterly sexless.
"Did you come?" he asked.
She didn't even sigh.
"Not even close."
There was a pause--a beat of male ego bruised and scrambling to reassemble itself. She didn't wait for it.
She sat up slowly, deliberately. Reached for the drawer.
"Lie on your back."
He frowned. "Eve--"
She slapped him hard across the cheek. A sharp, clean sound.
"Shut your fucking mouth." She didn't yell. Didn't need to.
Her hand found the leather collar in the drawer. She held it up, letting it dangle between two fingers like a question she already knew the answer to.
"On. Your. Back."
He obeyed, blinking with a kind of confused arousal, half sure this was still his idea. His cock was still wet, not quite soft, and twitching with interest.
She straddled him--slow, graceful, uncaring. His body was good. Fit, sculpted, fuckable. She admired it the way she might a piece of furniture: aesthetically pleasing, practically useless.
She thought of his wife. A friend. Soft voice, garden club, Pilates. She imagined her reaction--her horror--if she walked in now. Eve smiled.
She sank down onto him, stilling as he filled her.
Now she could feel it.
Blood rising, cunt tightening--finally. That deep, low ache starting to spark. A slick warmth built between them as she rocked slowly, deliberately, letting her body lead while her mind stayed cold.
Will this break him? she wondered.
Maybe. Not her problem.
She reached down, wrapped a firm hand around his throat, and leaned in until her lips brushed his ear.
"If you want to be inside me again, you'll ask first. If you want to make me come, you'll listen. And if you want to stay, you'll earn it."
His cock twitched inside her, harder than ever. Good.
She sat up, calm as ritual, and fastened the collar around her own neck--then handed him the chain. Still grinding, slow and wet.
"Now. I'm going to give you several instructions. If you value any part of your cozy, cum-soaked fucking life, you'll follow them to the letter."
She smiled when she felt him pulse again.
"Ooh. That's better."
Her hips moved with more urgency now. Heat rising. Muscles tightening around him.
"Take the chain."
