the wedding and collaring.
    The wedding had been beautiful, and the reception equally so. But now, sitting in a red velvet- lined chair in the decadence of Evan’s opulent club, nestled close to Myles, she felt like she was about to witness something truly special. Her fingers intertwined with his, she held onto his hand and watched as Evan stepped up. The love that Evan and Rissa had for each other shined from deep within their souls, and they seemed like nothing else mattered but each other. Wrapped in their own little world, theirs was the kind of love that legends and the greatest romance stories of all time were written about. Truly connected on another level altogether, she could see that those two belonged together. And when Myles squeezed her hand and kissed the top of her head, she could feel that she and Myles belonged together the same way. Laying a hand on her belly where their child was growing, still too early to show anything, but far enough along for her to have already fallen in love, she leaned her head into his shoulder and closed her eyes to savor the moment before the collaring began.
    A beautiful red and black baroque collar wrapped around Rissa’s neck as she knelt before Evan and he knelt before her, whispering his promise. Promises to love her, cherish her, protect, and keep her always. To cherish the gift of her submission, to earn her trust, and never break it. When he stood, Rissa stayed on her knees beside him and whispered her promise to always honor and obey, to treasure each gift he gave, and to love him always.
    Between Rissa’s whispered promises, Myles leaned over, murmuring into Arianna’s ear while she turned to him. Taking his hand, he stood and led her away from the ceremony; far enough away so as not to disturb the collaring. He pushed the door open to a private room and closed it behind them.
    “Myles? What is it? What are we doing here? We’re going to miss the ceremony…” He shushed her with a firm finger placed across her lips. Looking down as he held out his hand, she sucked in a soft breath. In his hand lay two gifts, making her jaw drop slightly. A bright blue teardrop crystal with silver branches crawling up the side hung from a short silver chain. Next to it, a platinum band served as the setting for a beautiful cushion-cut diamond lined with bright blue stones. Her eyes watered, and she could barely find a word. She looked up into his eyes anthend wrapped her hand around his empty one, holding on tight as he sank to his knees.
    “My sweet Annie . I used to think that love was something that came into your life and left on a whim until I met you, and I learned, finally, what real love is. I found the other half of my soul in you, and I never want to feel the panic or pain of losing you again. However unplanned or unexpected, we are a family, and I never want to be without you or our child. I promise I will love you until time stands still. I will cherish you and protect you; I will take care of you for the rest of our lives if you will let me. Will you marry me, Arianna? Be my wife, my submissive, be mine?”
    Her heart stopped beating, and she had to remind herself to breathe. Days ago, she was trying to convince herself leaving this man behind was for the best, and now, there was no way she could imagine her life or the life of their child without him in it. Sinking to her knees, she looked into his eyes and nodded, smiling as he slipped the ring onto her finger and the necklace around her neck. It fit close, like a collar. She lifted her hand to the cornered stone, fingering the silver branches that wrapped around it, seeming to grow up the side, growing together the way she and Myles had.
    “I would be honored to be your wife and even more so to be your submissive, Myles. I would like nothing more than to be completely and utterly yours in every way. I love you. ” With a kiss, he stood up, and she stayed kneeling at his feet.
    “Well, in that case, my love,
