Ownership is Hot ✨🔥
I held the collar in my hands for a moment, letting them see it before I said a word.
“Do you know what this means?”
They looked at me and nodded.
“No. Tell me.”
Their hesitation made me smile.
I stepped closer and held it out.
“A collar isn't something you earn simply by asking for it. I decide when you're ready.”
They lowered their eyes.
“Look at me.”
They did.
“Good.”
I leaned closer and fastened the collar carefully, then ran my fingers along the clasp to make sure it was secure.
“There.”
I smiled.
“Now you may call yourself mine.”
They looked almost overwhelmed.
I tilted their chin upward ever so gently.
“Don't mistake that for freedom from responsibility. From this moment forward, I expect honesty, discipline, respect, and consistency.”
I stepped back and admired my work.
“Wear it proudly. And remember who put it there.”
