The Dominants Game

Chapter 32

At the Manor Before the Ceremony

The grand clock in the hallway of Malfoy Manor chimed the hour, its sound echoing through the silent, dimly lit corridors. In their bedroom, Lucius and Rosetta prepared themselves for the initiation ceremony of the Order of the Midnight Eclipse.

Rosetta stood in front of the mirror, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted the intricate black cloak that would soon cover her from head to toe.

The fabric was heavy and luxurious, embroidered with silver threads that caught the light. She glanced at Lucius, who was fastening his own cloak with steady hands, his excitement palpable.

Lucius turned to her, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "It will be fine, Princess," he reassured her, stepping closer to take her hands in his. "We are entering a new chapter of power and opportunity."

Rosetta nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. "Do you think we'll have to make love in front of everyone again?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Lucius's lips curled into a knowing smile as he squeezed her hands gently. "I don't know," he admitted, his tone soothing yet firm. "But if we do, I'll make sure you enjoy yourself properly, as you deserve. You have nothing to worry about."

Rosetta tried to draw strength from his confidence, but the thought of performing such intimate acts in front of an audience again made her stomach churn. "I trust you, Lucius," she said softly, looking into his eyes.

Lucius brushed a strand of hair from her face, his touch tender. "Good girl," he murmured. "I'm proud of you for taking this step with me. Tonight is about us solidifying our place in the Order, and our place in the future as well."

Rosetta took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. She knew how much this meant to Lucius, and despite her trepidation, she wanted to support him. "I'm ready," she said, her voice stronger this time.

Lucius smiled, a mixture of pride and affection in his gaze. "That's my brave Princess." He leaned down to kiss her forehead gently. "Let's go. Our future awaits."

With that, they left the bedroom, their cloaks billowing behind them as they walked down the grand staircase of Malfoy Manor. 

Arriving at the Ceremony

Lucius and Rosetta stepped into the portal, feeling the familiar pull of magic as they were transported to the hidden location of the Order's temple. 

The swirling energy surrounded them, and within moments, they found themselves standing at the entrance of a grand, ancient structure concealed deep within an enchanted forest.

The temple was a marvel of old-world architecture, with towering columns and intricate carvings that seemed to come alive in the flickering torchlight. 

The air was thick with the scent of incense and the soft murmur of distant chants. The atmosphere was heavy with anticipation and power.

Lucius squeezed Rosetta's hand reassuringly as they walked forward, their black cloaks blending seamlessly with the shadows. 

A pair of hooded figures stood guard at the entrance, their faces hidden in the darkness. They nodded in recognition as Lucius and Rosetta approached, allowing them to pass without question.

Inside, the temple was even more breathtaking. The walls were lined with tapestries depicting scenes of celestial beauty and dark magic, and the floor was inlaid with symbols of ancient power. Members of the Order, all cloaked in black, moved silently around the room, their faces concealed by elaborate masks.
