The room was thick with tension, the air heavy and electric as Cassian's eyes roamed over Riven's bare skin. Every inch of him was a temptation, a challenge waiting to be claimed. Tonight wasn't just about pleasure — it was about control, surrender, and the intoxicating power of desire.
Cassian stepped closer, the scent of his cologne mixing with the natural musk of heat radiating from Riven's body. Fingers curled around the delicate chain that hung from Riven's neck — a symbol of the fragile line between dominance and submission.
"You wear this well," Cassian murmured, brushing the chain against Riven's collarbone. "But tonight, it's mine to command."
Riven's breath hitched, the cool metal a stark contrast to the fire burning in his veins. "Take it," he whispered, voice thick with want. "Chain me."
Cassian's grin was dark and dangerous. He produced a leather leash from the side table — supple, worn, and dripping with promise. Securing it to the chain, he tugged gently, eliciting a shiver from Riven.
"Good," Cassian said, voice low and commanding. "You're mine."
Riven's eyes burned with a mixture of defiance and surrender. "Always."
The night unfolded in waves of exquisite torment and relief — silk ropes binding wrists, lips claiming skin, hands exploring and owning. Every touch was electric, every kiss a spark igniting the blaze of passion between them.
Cassian's hands were relentless, marking, molding, claiming. Riven responded with equal fire, arching, pressing, surrendering in bursts of breathless moans and fierce gasps.
The chains binding them were more than physical — they were the ties of obsession, lust, and a hunger neither could deny.
When the crescendo finally shattered them, they collapsed tangled and spent — the taste of desire still lingering, the promise of more burning bright in their eyes.
Cassian brushed a stray lock of hair from Riven's damp forehead. "This is only the beginning."
Riven smiled, lips swollen and trembling. "I'm ready to be chained forever."
