Chapter 65
BLAIZE
Hunter sent me a spam of ten messages in a matter of two minutes, telling me she would make Kadence pay for teasing her like that, but it was only if Kadence agreed tomorrow night.
Tonight it was about us, and I was doing something I’d done only once with Olivia, but she was a part of this world from the beginning.
Kadence was just now dipping her toes in the BDSM world.
Kadence was singing along to the radio, caressing the hand I had firmly gripping her exposed thigh.
I knew I loved this dress for a reason. She looked happy, at ease with everything that happened in the last few months; not just from what I did, but from everything else happening around us.
I knew that she knew what happened to Hunter, and that Drew was going to get himself killed.
She had been Annika’s rock. The other two were keeping me updated on the situation and advised that they wouldn’t be performing for a little while until Drew got his shit together.
I pull up to Suavis, a high-end restaurant in the next territory over.
I already informed Daniel a week ago that I would be dining in his town with Kadence.
Thankfully, he was one of the few people not pissed at me for every shipment for the last month getting destroyed.
I had Damon working on a new shipment with Hunter and Cross to get it here discreetly so I can get my men drugs.
I might not like them, but it kept me in power until I stated otherwise.
I stepped out of the SUV and walked to Kadence’s side, opening her door and outstretching my hand for her to take. She eyed me cautiously with a smirk tugging at her lips. “Chivalry is not dead, princess.”
“It’s weird being treated like a literal princess. I’m still not used to it.”
“One day you will be, because that’s what you are. I told you, I’m not the greatest at showing emotion, but I am going to try for you. And that involves treating you like the queen you are.”
“Y’know, you really are a giant sap wrapped in sexy leather.”
“Don’t tell anyone, it will ruin my reputation.”
“Oh, what will you do for me to keep your secret?”
I smirked, thinking of all the possibilities. “Do you want to be bound with a vibrator between your thighs or do you want me on my knees devouring you until you scream my name?”
“All of the above.”
“Come on, pretty girl. Let’s get in here.”
Kylie, the owner of Suavis, personally guided us to our private table in the back of the restaurant.
Daniel must’ve visited her and advised that we would be in tonight.
The territory leaders made a show of hospitality when I visited, thinking it got them extra brownie points.
Sometimes it did, and sometimes it didn’t.
It depended on who I was with and what I was doing.
If Kadence enjoyed herself tonight, I’d make sure Daniel had something special.
I held the velvet necklace box in my pocket, knowing this was going to be the next step in our relationship. Kadence said she forgave me, but did she trust me enough to take this step? She smiled brightly at me as she took a sip of the red wine.
“What?”
“I’m admiring beauty.”
Her cheeks flushed. “Y’know, you’re a flirt. I wish we could’ve skipped everything else and been like this before.”
I grimaced, guilt tugging at my heart. “I know.”
She reached out and took my hand. “I love you, Blaize. I never loved someone as much as I love you. There is no reason to linger on the past. Our future is bright.”
“It is. I want to give you something. You don’t have to accept it, but.” I pulled out the velvet red box from my pocket, and Kadence’s brow curved. I open the box and reveal the infinity O-ring day collar.
“Is it a collar? Like ownership?”
“It’s a commitment. It also lets others know you are in a committed relationship. I don’t own you, Kadence. I want to be your domme, and I want to be your life partner when it comes to that, but this shows that you are mine. And if you’d like, I will get one as well.”
She arched her brow. “Dommes can get collared, too? I thought that was a submissive thing.”
I laughed gently. “Yes, dommes can be collared, too. Like I said, it is a symbol of commitment.”
“This means that I am your submissive and you are my domme?”
“Yes, but you don’t have to accept it if you don’t want to. I want you to know that I am committed to you, Kadence. That we are in a partnership, even if we have power plays in the bedroom.”
She nodded, scooping up her turquoise hair and pulling it up. “Yes. I love you, Blaize, and I want everyone to know you are mine, just like I’m yours. Would you put it on me, please?”
I smiled, gently grabbing the necklace and standing behind her. “This is my commitment to you, Kadence. I will love you. I will protect you. I promise to never hurt you again and to treat you like the queen you are. I love you, princess.”
She caressed the jewelry. “I love you, Blaize. I promise to be yours. To submit to you and love you like you deserve.” She turned, standing up and wrapping her hands around my neck before pressing her lips to mine in a soft kiss, this one filled with so much passion and sensuality.
“Now, if you were going to do this, don’t we have a scene to commemorate the occasion? ”
“We can if you’d like, but I have a surprise for you tomorrow, if you are up for it?”
“Oh, do I get a hint?”
“We’re going to watch a show tomorrow at the club, and I want your true reaction, even if you feel like it is wrong. I want you to tell me what you desire and crave.”
“That’s very cryptic, Blaize.”
“You said you trusted me. I won’t let you get hurt. I promise. And regardless of what you choose, at the end of the day, you are mine.”
If she didn’t want Hunter, I would tell Hunter to get out of my room, but I know Kadence wanted to take a dive on the wild side and have two dommes share her. It was her fantasy. Tomorrow, I was going to let it come true, only if she wanted it.
