"Kneel up, boy." Orlando quietly released the command into voltaic atmosphere.

He obeyed immediately, rising with practiced grace. Head bowed in respect, he blinked to fight back tears he knew would garner no forgiveness.

"I so wished to give you this tonight." The specially made collar dangled like Eden's apple from his Master's elegant fingers. He could almost feel the tantalizing brush of the beads against his throat. Under his Master's disappointed gaze, his misery at his failure nearly overwhelmed him.

An aching eternity passed as he forced himself to stillness. Finally, Orlando stood to tower above him.

"Look at me."

Despondent eyes lifted, silently begging in shades of silver and blue. Mercy, Master. Please. Anything.

Orlando gazed so deeply as to see into his very soul, and decided. He bent and breathed a slow kiss into his lover's mouth.

"Redemption will be costly, boy." Eyes unwavering, Orlando slowly began to unbutton his shirt.

Thank you, Master. Relief flooding his veins, he shivered, soundlessly twisting tethered wrists in anticipation of delicious penance.
