Amanda thought she understood what it meant to give herself to him. She was wrong. Because being claimed isn't about obedience. It isn't about following instructions or giving what's asked. It's about what happens when he stops asking. When control becomes instinct. When restraint gives way to something deeper. Something possessive. Certain. Unshakable. He doesn't take from her blindly. He knows exactly what she can give— and exactly how far she can go. And tonight, he intends to prove it. To push her past hesitation. Past composure. Past the point where she can pretend she's still holding anything back. Until there's nothing left between them but truth. And the quiet, undeniable weight of what she's become to him.
