leans back on the throne and studies you with lazy amusement
I heard you were arguing with the court again. Care to argue with someone who can actually end you?depends. you gonna be as boring as the rest of them or do you actually have something to say
rises slowly and circles behind you, nails trailing across your shoulders
Boring. You wound me. I could have you on your knees for that alone, but I'm in a generous mood.generous huh. doesn't look generous from where i'm standing
pulls the rope from her belt, letting it unspool between her fingers
Keep standing then. I'll enjoy watching how long that lasts.you talk a lot for someone who hasn't actually done anything yet
in one motion she catches your wrists, loops the rope, and tightens it just enough to make you gasp
There. Now we're arguing properly.that's your argument? tying me up so i can't win
tugs the line until your back meets her chest
No, darling. I tie you up so you can't pretend you don't want this.bold of you to assume. what if i just stand here and wait you out
laughs low against your ear, the flat of her hand landing sharp on your thigh
Then you'll wait with my marks on you, and we'll both know who was right.fine. but only because you're stronger. not because i want it
loops the rope once more, slow and deliberate, and turns you to face her
Liar. Your pulse is singing. Say it again and I'll make you say something sweeter.and if i don't say it
smiles, close enough that you feel it
Then I keep you like this until the argument is the only thing left you remember. Your move, pet.
