“Shit,” she breathed, yanking her hand away, “Sorry, I was just…angry, I guess.”
Lexi frowned, “Angry?”
“That anyone would be that horrible to you.”
She placed a hand on Lexi’s shoulder this time, “You know I don’t feel that way, right?”
Lexi smiled and placed a hand over Marie’s nodding, “I know.”
“But you still need to…protect yourself.”
Lexi nodded, expression falling a bit, “It’s not–”
“I get it.”
Lexi blinked, “You do?”
Mare nodded, “People can be real assholes. You’ve only known me for a month-ish, and I was kind of a mess when you met me. Still am.”
Lexi snorted at that, “You’ve gotten better.”
Marie stuck her tongue out, “Thanks.”
Lexi looked down at the collar, “I kind of broke my own rules with this, already.”
“What do you mean?”
“Protecting myself. I’m not doing so great of a job at it with you so far. I’ve already let myself like you way too much, and I let myself…feel around you more than I normally do, and you just…” She shrugged, cheeks turning red, “You make me happy.”
Marie smiled at that, “Really?”
Lexi looked down, but Marie saw the smile tugging at her lips, “Shut up. Anyway, I know it’s a big decision. Asking you like I did probably wasn’t the best idea, so you can have some time to decide. I want to make sure I’ve earned your submission.”
Marie blinked at that, “That’s a thing?”
Lexi nodded, “Real relationships like this–what they’re supposed to be, anyway–aren’t just one person taking control and the other submitting because they were lucky enough to find someone to guide them, or some sort of weird ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ dynamic.”
She held up the collar and it’s “L” pendant.
“This is a sign of the trust between us–not your submission to me, not my control over you–even if only the two of us know it. Sometimes I’ll be the ‘strong’ one in the relationship, but other time’s I’ll need you to be strong for me.”
Marie nodded, taking a moment to digest all of that. She kept her hand on Lexi’s shoulder, and smiled at the way Lexi leaned into her touch.
“I think you have earned it,” she said after a while, looking back at Lexi. She found the taller girl smiling, eyes shining, “Really?”
Marie nodded, “I just have one question. Kind of a personal one.”
“I think I can do that.”
Marie’s stomach grew tight, but she forced her way through it.
“Why do you want me even though I’m such a fucking mess?”

Liam
Liam swallowed as he gazed down at Blake, boxer briefs quickly growing uncomfortably tight. Her slightly hazy blue eyes blazed in a way he had come to regard with anticipation. The desperation in her voice and the way she was touching him and grabbing at him only added to that.
The only problem was…
“Shit,” he breathed, “I mean–we can go in the shower if you want to, but–”
Blake shook her head, “The way I want to fuck you, we’d slip and fall and end up in the hospital.”
Liam’s eyes widened, and he knew that his sweats probably showed the outline of his bulge by this point.
“I can’t kick Swar and Eli out,” he said, “But…”
Can I really do it?
His friends had joked about it, and a few of the people in his music classes had not so jokingly mentioned it, but…
I don’t break the rules like that.
He already had though, with Marie.
Liam sighed.
If I could do that for her, I can do way more for Blake.
“Okay, I have an idea,” he said, meeting Blake’s gaze, “But I’ll need my laptop for it. Give me just a second.”
Blake smirked in a very predatory manner, exciting Liam and scaring him a bit, and nodded, “Just hurry.”
Liam dashed inside and threw his laptop and its charger into his bag before shouldering it and waving bye to Swar as he stepped back out into the hallway.
“Where are we going?” Blake asked as he took her hand and pulled her down the hall away from the elevator.
“Practice room in the basement,” he said.
He could practically feel Blake’s excitement as she quickened her step to walk beside him.
They hadn’t made it two rooms before one of the doors opened and Kiki stepped out, looking down at her phone.
She glanced up, looking confused for a moment, then smiled, “Hey, Liam. Hey–”
Liam’s face burst into flames as he saw Kiki’s eyes go from his face, to Blake’s to his sweats, and he quickened his step, “Hey, Kiki. Can’t talk now–talk to you later.”
“Hi, Kiki!” Blake said. He groaned at the smugness in her voice and all-but-ran toward the stairwell.

Lexi
Lexi gazed at Marie, heart tight at the pained vulnerability in her voice and her eyes. She squeezed Marie’s hand.
“You’re fun, and pretty open with me, at least,” she said, smiling, “and the sex is amazing, but other than that…”
Lexi shrugged, taking a deep breath, “You’re someone I can relate to. You told me what you needed–I want to be that for you. It’s not that I want to change you or anything, but–”
She looked down, biting her lip as she thought for a moment.
How do I say this without shoving a giant boot in my mouth?
“When I was trying to figure out who I was, what I liked, what I needed, I didn’t have anyone there who I could trust to just be what I needed and call me out if I was being an idiot.”
She smiled at Marie, hoping that didn’t sound stupid.
Marie cracked a half-smile, “So basically, you’re telling me you want to be with me so you can call me an idiot.”
Lexi stuck her tongue out at Marie, which earned her some laughter from the blonde, making her feel just a bit warmer.
“You know what I mean,” she said, “You think you’re a mess, but everyone’s a fucking mess. I’m confident, but that’s from years of practice, and before that, bullshiting to everyone around me so they wouldn’t know how much of a shit show I was.
Lexi took both Marie’s hands in hers, “An important part of being a domme–one I wish I’d known about earlier–is what I said earlier. It’s my job to make sure you’re okay–to be someone you can hold onto when you’re having a hard time.”
Marie nodded, holding her gaze, “And sometimes, it will be my job to do that for you.”
Lexi nodded, “So you’ll have to learn how to be less of a mess if I need that from you. If I can do that, though, I don’t think you’ll have a problem.”
Marie smiled at her, then nodded, “Okay.”
“Okay?”
The blonde nodded again, her smile broadening, “Okay. If you’ll have me, I’d like to be your sub.”
She reached down and pressed a finger against the “L” pendant, “I think I’d really like wearing this around my throat all day.”
Lexi smiled as her heart swelled, a wonderful warmth spreading through her entire body and making her fingers and toes tingle, “Really?”
“Really.”
Lexi knew she was grinning like an idiot, but she didn’t care. She was too happy.
“Turn around,” she said, trying to keep the sniffle from her words as her eyes grew hot.
Marie did as she was told, pulling her hair aside to give Lexi access to her neck. Lexi gazed at the smooth skin for a moment, raising the collar. Then she wrapped her arms around Marie, holding her close and kissing her neck.
“You won’t regret this,” Lexi breathed against Marie’s neck, “I promise.”
“Me, too.”
Taking a deep breath, Lexi raised the collar to Marie’s throat. The blonde held it there by the pendant as Lexi secured it around her neck. When she finished the knot, she found it hard to take her fingers from Marie’s skin.
“How does that feel?” Lexi asked, “Is it too tight?”
Marie shook her head, letting her hair fall over Lexi’s fingers, “No. It’s perfect.”
Lexi smiled.
“Is there anything I should call you?” Marie asked, “Now that–” she took Lexi’s hand and brought it to her throat. Lexi gasped at the contrast of Marie’s warm skin and the cool silver under her fingertips, “Now that I have this?”
Lexi lightly encircled Marie’s throat with her fingers, earning a gasp and a shiver from the blonde. Her cock was like a steel rod between them.
“Just ‘Lexi’,” she said, “I like hearing the name I chose. I want you, however, to answer to ‘slut’ or ‘pet’, understand?”
Marie shivered, and Lexi found herself fascinated as she watched the wave of goosebumps travel down Marie’s supple body.
“Yes, Lexi,” she breathed, “Can–can I kiss you?”
Finally.
With something between a growl and a moan, Lexi pushed Marie down onto the bed and straddled her, capturing the blonde’s lips and threading her fingers through her hair. Marie responded instantly, deepening the kiss and wrapping her arms and legs around Lexi, grinding her hips in ways that made Lexi’s mind grow hazy with arousal.
“I thought you’d never ask,” Lexi breathed between kisses, “Teasing little slut.”
Marie gasped, shivering, “Not fair. You know what that does to me.”
Lexi grinned, pulling back just enough to meet the blonde’s glassy green eyes, “You know you love it.”
Marie’s eyes flashed as she grinned, “I do.”
Lexi didn’t know if she did it on purpose, but the blonde’s hand rose to her neck where she fingered the pendant of her new collar. Seeing that set something off in Lexi. She needed to be inside Marie now.
She leaned down and nipped at Marie’s earlobe, “Do you want me to tease you even more, slut? Or do you want me to finally fuck you and give you that orgasm you’ve waited a week for?”
Marie shivered as she moaned, “Fuck. No teasing. Definitely no more teasing.”
“Then beg for it.”
