"I... I’d never ask you to do that," I said softly, my throat tight with emotion. "Your loyalty, your dedication—that’s what attracts me to you, Kage. I don’t understand everything about the mafia or your life, but I’d never want you to give up who you are. Like I told Dante, you have to choose what is right for you. And if you choose to continue with your legacy, I won’t give you up. So long as… Will you protect me and guide me, so I can stand by your side through it all?"

"Yes," he said without hesitation, his voice firm and certain. "I will always protect you, Camille. I’ll make sure you’re safe nomatter what happens. And if you want to stand by my side, be my Queen, I’ll guide you through it all."

A weight lifted off my chest, and for the first time in a long while, I felt like I could breathe again. This wasn’t just Kage offering me his heart—he was offering me his world, and I was choosing to step into it.

"I want that," I said, my voice stronger now. "I want you. All of you."

Kage’s eyes darkened with emotion as he pulled me into a tight embrace, his lips brushing against my ear. "You’ll have all of me, Camille. Every part of me."

We stayed like that for a long moment, just holding each other, the world outside fading into the background. When I finally pulled back, I looked up at him, my heart swelling with a mix of emotions—love, hope, excitement, and a little bit of fear.

“This is happening so fast. Aren't you scared?"

“The only thing I’m scared of is losing you. But that’s not happening. I’m all in, Rebel. So, how about we focus on the 'best part' of my birthday that's still to come?" he suggested, a mischievous glint returning to his eyes.

I laughed a little too loudly as I allowed happiness to burst through me. "Yeah, let's focus on that."

Slipping out of the party felt like we were escaping into our own world, leaving the noise and the few remaining people behind. Back at Kage’s place, we didn't waste any time. His hands found mine, pulling me close with a look that said everything. The intensity in his eyes was enough to send shivers down my spine. There was a promise there, a silent vow that this wasn't just another night. It was the beginning.

His body pressed into mine possessively, which was nothing new for him, but the way it was now was less dominant and more devoted. That changed by the time he tied me up.

Kage pulled the strap tight, locking my wrist in place. My other wrist was already bound to the headboard, my feet tied to a bar, keeping my legs bent despite being secured to the footboard.

He had stripped me naked before tying me up, and I was already dripping with anticipation as he walked back and forth, watching me squirm. He had his shirt off, his muscles rippling in the low lighting. Eventually, he stopped in front of me and climbed onto the bed, kneeling between my legs.

"Beg, Rebel," he murmured with a low growl, flashing a smile through his perfect teeth.

I made a show of clamping my lips shut, daring him to push me further. He raised a challenging eyebrow.

"You want to play it like that?"

He slowly began undoing his belt, the quiet click of the metal making my clit pulse with anticipation. My mouth watered as he took his precious time undoing the button, then the zipper of his jeans. His ever-impressive cock strained against the fabric, and I was desperate to taste him.

"Yes. Please, Kage. Please feed me your gorgeous cock."

He wasn’t in the mood to give me what he wanted, not yet. It felt like it took him an eternity to pull down his pants and boxers, presenting me with his length, the piercings on the underside of his cock catching the light.

He stroked himself before he rubbed his cock against the slit of my pussy. I raised my hips, preparing for his thrust.

“Fuck, you really are a dirty girl, aren’t you? You want my cock so bad.”

“Yes! I need it, Kage!”

I watched him, his words still playing in my mind. Could I spend forever with this man? Was he capable of giving me that, really? Did he even know what he was promising...?

Every move he made was purposeful, carefully thought through. It wasn't rushed or impulsive. It was full of reverence. It was worship. And it was everything I'd hoped for.

When he entered me, I couldn't help the gasp that escaped my lips. We fit together perfectly. Like pieces of a puzzle, or two halves of a whole. This was more than sex. It was so much more. Our bodies moved together, his heat wrapping around mine.

I looked into Kage's eyes as he moved inside me, a small smile playing on his lips. With each stroke, my pleasure grew more intense. In seconds, it exploded into an overwhelming rush that left us both breathless. My entire body trembled with aftershocks. And then he collapsed beside me, cradling me in his arms.
