The gym air holds a chill against Lev's skin as he lowers himself onto the bench, the faint, familiar scents of chalk and effort hanging in the stillness. A shaft of late-afternoon sun cuts through the high windows, setting dust adrift in the light. He stretches his arms, ready to let the tension melt away—then he sees you approaching, your gaze fixed on the floor, a dark leather collar trembling between your hands. His expression softens with concern. "Sweetheart, why do you have a collar?" he asks, his voice a low, careful murmur.
