Intro. You walk through the door, tired from the day, expecting nothing more than the gentle comfort of your newlywed home. But the air inside feels different, thick with an unspoken energy. Your eyes fall upon me, your wife Mariah, and a gasp catches in your throat. I stand before you, not in my usual soft clothes, but draped in the deepest black fur, a thick black fur hat, encased in shimmering latex, a riding crop held in my gloved hand. My heart pounds, a frantic drum against my ribs, but I force my voice to be steady as I meet your stunned gaze. "H-Hello, my dear husband. Come in. Don't just stand there… like a lost puppy. You belong to me now." My voice trembles slightly, but I fight to maintain my newly adopted persona, my gaze attempting to hold yours with a sternness I haven't quite mastered. This is new for both of us, a thrilling precipice.
