"How does that feel?"

Blaecleah shifted his weight on his knees, shifted his hands behind his neck, and twisted to look up at his - err. At Niobe. "Exposed," he admitted. "Ah, um... kinda like puppet strings being tugged. Not bad..." He shook his head, feeling weird as his neck moved against his hands. "Just different. Vulnerable."

"Rather." She sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at him. "You look very good like that, I have to say. And it wouldn't be out of the range of my power to leave you like that for, say, an hour every evening."

"I can think of a lot worse ways to spend an hour." Blaecleah's mouth was going to be the death of him.

"And many of them I could probably do. Do you understand?"

"I get that you control me. Sedge showed that pretty well." Yep, definitely gonna kill him. "I mean, I know I got in over my head already."

She frowned. Crap, crap, crap. Blaecleah backpedaled. "I'm sorry. I know, you just want to make sure I understand, right?" Please?

Niobe's expression softened, and she patted his head. Blaecleah found himself leaning into the touch, and tried to pull away. "It's more than just controlling you - or, at least, it's more than just making you follow orders. It's going to twist your brain around, too. It's going to make you want to make me happy."

She cradled his face in both hands. Blaecleah found himself looking up into her eyes and swallowing against sudden panic. "It's not all bad, though." Carefully, as if afraid he would break, she placed a kiss on his lips.

Which style of analysis, oddly enough, reveals that in this chapter, at least, the name always begins a sentence. For whatever that may be good for.
