Chapter 1 - The Bargain
They said the forest of Eirath was haunted by shadows and ruled by a fae Queen whose pleasure was power and whose power was absolute. Yet when Aerin crossed its borders, it wasn’t fear that guided him—it was desperation.
He was no knight. Not anymore. The battlefield had stripped him of purpose, his titles burned along with the war flags of his lost house. Only the stories remained—about a Queen who collected souls with her touch, who tamed warriors not with blades, but with silk ropes and whispered commands. Aerin had nothing left to lose, and everything to offer.
He found her by moonlight. A clearing of obsidian stone, surrounded by vines that pulsed with faint silver light. She waited on a throne of roots and bone, her crimson eyes gleaming as if she'd been expecting him.
"You seek more than shelter, mortal," she said, her voice like a velvet noose.
"I seek to serve," he replied, dropping to one knee, lowering his gaze.
A smile touched her lips. "Then remove your name. Give me your silence, your submission, your breath. And in return, I shall make you mine."6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySp4PgX49R
Chapter 2 - The First Night

Aerin was led deep into the fae Queen’s sanctum—a temple of shadows and soft restraints. The chambers were warm with scented smoke and lit only by flickering blue fire. There were no guards, only silent watchers—Fae with unreadable eyes who once dared challenge her, and stayed to kneel at her feet.
He was undressed by her touch alone—an enchantment that peeled away layers not only of fabric, but pride. When he hesitated, she whispered, “You do not need to understand. You only need to obey.”
That night, she bound him gently, as if testing the limits of his unspoken hunger. He didn’t struggle. Not when she laid him inside a Leather Sleepsack, its form molded to his body, sealing him in sensual stillness. His arms pinned, legs together, breath shallow—but free. Her magic buzzed at the edges of the restraint like static heat.
In the stillness, he heard her voice again: “Here, you are not caged. You are held.”
Chapter 3 - The Swing of Control
As the days passed, Aerin learned her rhythm. Pain was never punishment. Pleasure was never rewarded. Everything was a lesson—every sigh, every bound limb, every denied climax. She studied his submission like poetry.
One evening, she summoned him to the Moonspire—a tower with no windows, just endless mirrors. Suspended in the center hung an elaborate bondage swing, crafted from vines hardened by enchanted resin and softened by fae silk. He didn’t need to be told to enter it.
Bound in midair, his arms and thighs gently spread, he hovered like an offering—unguarded, exposed, yet entirely safe. She circled him like a tide, her fingers teasing nerve endings he didn’t know existed. Her magic heightened everything—touch, breath, tension.
“You came to be tamed,” she said, pressing her palm to his chest. “But now you teach me. Even the wild hunger for trust.”
Chapter 4 - Becoming
Weeks turned to months, yet time bent oddly in the Queen’s realm. Aerin’s submission was no longer a trial—it was his transformation. Where once he gripped weapons, now he gripped breath. Where once he feared power, now he craved the surrender it demanded.
She allowed him moments of control—not over her, but over himself. He could safeword, and once did. She honored it without question, wrapped him in silence, and let him sleep in the leather sleepsack, humming a lullaby of thorns and moonlight.
But more often, he chose to stay bound.
Chapter 5 - The Naming
On the final night of the Eclipse, the Queen called her court. Fae of the mountain, river, and root gathered to witness her ritual of renewal. And there, in the center of the sacred circle, she called Aerin forward.
Not as a servant. Not as a conquest. But as her Consort.
Bound once more in the Bondage Swing, she asked him for the final surrender: not just body or name, but self. And he gave it—willingly.
Her magic didn’t tame him.
It freed him.
