Aurelia sat quietly at the small writing desk in her room, her body still recovering from the last few days. Though Darius had taken care of her in ways that both surprised and confused her, she knew it was only a brief reprieve. His dominance was never far from the surface, and it was always ready to take control again.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the creak of the door opening. Darius entered, his presence filling the room instantly. He had a quiet power about him, an intensity that made it hard to look away.
He held something in his hand—a small piece of paper, folded neatly. Aurelia’s heart began to race as she wondered what new task or expectation he had in mind.
Without saying a word, Darius walked over and set the paper down in front of her. His dark eyes met hers, and she could see that familiar mix of control and calculation in his gaze.
"Open it," he instructed, his voice soft yet firm, leaving no room for disobedience.
With trembling fingers, Aurelia reached for the paper and unfolded it. Her eyes scanned the contents, and her breath caught in her throat as she realized what it was—a list.
It wasn’t just any list. It was a list of actions, boundaries, and expectations. Each one outlined a different aspect of their relationship, with small boxes beside them for her to tick. A strange mix of anxiety and curiosity washed over her as she read through them.
Darius leaned against the edge of the desk, watching her closely. "I want you to go through each item carefully. These are not requests, Aurelia. These are things that you will eventually learn to accept, but I am giving you a choice—at least for now."
Her eyes flickered back to the paper, and she began to read the items aloud, her voice shaky:
1. Obedience at all times
"You will follow my instructions without hesitation, no matter how difficult or humiliating."
2. Complete physical submission
"Your body is mine to do with as I please. You will not resist my touch, and you will accept every form of control I exert."
3. Punishment for disobedience
"If you fail to follow any of my rules, you will be severely punished. The punishment will fit the crime, and there will be no leniency."
4. Public display of ownership
"There will be moments where you must prove your submission to me in front of others. You will not resist, no matter the audience."
5. No secrets
"You will share your thoughts, your desires, and your fears with me. You will hide nothing."
6. Trust
"You will learn to trust me fully, even when I push you beyond your limits. You will trust that everything I do is for your benefit."
7. Safe word
"Should the need arise, you will be given a safe word to use when you reach your limit. I will stop immediately if you use it. But know that I will push you as far as you can go before you need it."
Aurelia’s hands shook as she read through the list. Each item was a direct challenge to her independence, her sense of self. Yet, there was also something strangely comforting about having clear expectations laid out before her, as if knowing the rules would help her navigate this overwhelming new life.
Darius watched her carefully, his eyes dark and unreadable. "You will tick the boxes that you accept," he said. "But know this, Aurelia—you cannot escape what you are to me. This list is only a formality. In time, you will accept everything on it."
She swallowed hard, her fingers gripping the pen tightly. Her mind raced. Could she really do this? Could she truly give herself over to him, knowing the consequences? There was no denying that she was already bound to him, but this list felt like an acknowledgment of something deeper—an acceptance of the life she was being forced into.
Aurelia hesitated, her eyes locked on the first item: Obedience at all times. Her heart pounded as she thought about what it meant. Complete obedience. No room for defiance, no space for hesitation.
Her hand hovered over the box, but she couldn’t bring herself to mark it just yet.
Darius’s hand gently touched her shoulder, sending a shiver down her spine. "I want you to be honest with yourself, Aurelia," he said softly. "This list is as much for you as it is for me. It’s a test—to see how far you’ve come, and how far you’re willing to go."
Aurelia stared at the paper, her mind swirling with conflicting emotions. She felt trapped, but there was a part of her that was also curious—curious to see where this path would lead. Could she truly surrender to him? Could she find herself within the boundaries he had set?
With trembling hands, she made her decision. Slowly, she ticked the first box—Obedience at all times. It felt like a small surrender, but a surrender nonetheless.
Darius’s eyes darkened with satisfaction as he watched her. He said nothing, allowing her to move at her own pace, but she could feel the weight of his dominance in the room.
One by one, Aurelia made her choices. Some were easier than others. Punishment for disobedience—she already knew the consequences of breaking his rules. Trust—a concept that seemed impossible, but one she knew she had no choice but to consider. The only box she hesitated on was the one marked Public display of ownership. The idea of being humiliated in front of others made her stomach twist in knots, but Darius’s gaze was unrelenting.
Finally, with a deep breath, she ticked the final box. Her heart pounded as she placed the pen down and looked up at Darius.
His expression was unreadable as he took the paper from her hands, studying the marks she had made. For a long moment, he said nothing, and the silence in the room felt suffocating.
Then, without warning, he reached out and gently cupped her face in his hands. His touch was surprisingly tender, contrasting with the dark dominance that always seemed to linger around him.
"You’ve done well, Aurelia," he murmured, his thumb brushing across her cheek. "You’ve made your choice, and now we move forward."
Aurelia’s heart raced as she looked up at him, unsure of what would come next. She had given him a piece of herself with that list, and now, there was no turning back.
Darius leaned in closer, his lips hovering near her ear. "You’ve chosen submission," he whispered, his breath hot against her skin. "And now, you will learn what it means to be mine in every sense."
Her pulse quickened as his words sank in. There was fear, yes, but also a strange sense of relief. She had made her decision, and whatever happened next, she would face it.
As Darius stood up, his dominance radiating from him, he gave her one final look—one filled with both promise and warning. "Prepare yourself, Aurelia," he said, his voice low and commanding. "Tomorrow, your training truly begins."
And with that, he left the room, leaving her alone with her thoughts—and the knowledge that her submission had only just begun.
