“In all the years I’ve known you, Az, I’ve never heard you ask me for anything. It’s shocking how much I enjoy hearing you plead in that whispering tone. You know you’re my queen, and I’ll always worship you. I’d kneel like a dog for you, the knight ready to die at your command. But hearing you beg does something to me. Something dark and depraved that wants to dominate you until you’re on the cusp and can’t take anymore.”
