All three of them moved to the centre of the platform where many of the scenes took place. The space was bare apart from Gabe in front of her and James to her side.
She took a quick glance out at the audience to see many of James’s friends in witness. When the time came, Prue knelt on the floor ready to give herself to her man. Her hair was bound on top of her head, exposing her neck for the collar.
“I want to thank you all for coming tonight. This is a special occasion, and I imagine it has been a long time coming for the Master James to take a sub. I present Prudence Castleden, his wife and submissive to Master James.” Gabe touched her head. “She has consented to be his sub and to follow his commands to the best of her ability.”
The words fell away as James touched her. Her world was filled with nothing but James. Gabe and his words held no meaning with her man. The silver chained collar was placed around her neck, and she was declared James’s submissive, his property, and he became her owner.
Applause followed, and James pulled her to her feet. His arms wrapped around her as his lips came down on hers.
“You’ve made me the happiest man alive,” he said.
She touched the collar around her neck. The weight of the collar felt good against her skin. Her pu**y was wet from being owned. James was a possessive man, and he was an Owner.
“I love you, my Master James,” she said, wrapping her arms around his neck.
When she’d first met him at the ripe young age of eighteen, she’d thought she would never know true happiness. He was with her sister, but their lives had taken a different turn. She was his wife and his sub. The only thing missing in her life was a child. Prue looked up at him and knew in her heart, everything would be perfect as long as he was there. In the light her wedding band glinted, as did her collar.
Perfection.

When Gabe mentioned taking Prudence’s clothes off James almost lost it. He was a master, but before all of that he was an owner. No one saw his woman na**d except him. Even with his closest friends in residence for the event to make Prudence his woman, he didn’t want any of them to know how perfect she was.
She lay curled against his side in the booth they shared with Tate and Kevin. Lucas and Sean were grabbing drinks from the bar. The party was a lively event with several couples conversing or playing out scenes of their choosing. He was asked if he wanted to do a scene, and he turned down the option. There was no way he was doing a scene with his woman when he couldn’t stand for her to be na**d in the room.
He stroked her hair, and she smiled up at him. James noticed her touching the collar around her neck.
“I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to give you that collar,” he said. Giving her the collar as a gift at Christmas had been his idea of promising her he wasn’t giving up. He didn’t give up, and now Prudence was his wife along with being his sub.
“This is perfect. I was angry with you leaving me alone with a deck of cards. I thought you were unfair.”
James laughed. He’d wanted to know how she’d react when he’d given her the cards. From the horrified look on her face, he’d known she would find some way to get him back.
“How are we getting home tonight?” she asked.
“We’re staying here tonight. I’ve got a room we can go to soon. Arthur is picking us up in the morning. We’re honeymooning in Italy,” he said. All the arrangements were made the moment the wedding had started being planned.
He kissed her fingers then greeted Lucas and Sean.
Prudence took the drink offered. For the rest of the night they sat around the table, drinking and enjoying the event. Several couples came over to congratulate them. James couldn’t stop touching his woman. The collar looked stunning wrapped around her neck. He looked forward to buying more collars for her in the future.
When the party started to die down, James took her hand, bade his friends good night, then took her through to his personal room.
He closed the door and turned to find Prudence knelt in the submissive pose he’d trained her to do. His heart pounded, and his c**k thickened at the sight before him. She looked so f**king beautiful. The black dress she wore covered her curves, but his memory was good enough to put the curves in place. The dipped neckline highlighted her large br**sts.
“You please me, Prudence,” he said. James went to her where she knelt on the floor. He stroked her hair watching the two colours mingling through his fingers. The clip that had been placed in her hair during the ceremony was already removed.
He helped her to her feet before removing her dress. “For tonight I want to hold you in my arms.”
Together, they moved to the bed. His c**k thickened at the sight of Prudence naked, but he was determined to only hold her.
James lay down on the bed with Prudence in his arms. He stared at her where she smiled up at him.
“What are you thinking, Master?” she asked.
Running his thumb along her lip, he saw her eyes dilate with arousal. “That I can’t keep my hands off you even though I only want to hold you.”
“You can hold me anytime. I’m all yours. Look,” she said, holding her hand up. The ring glinted in the light. “I’m your wife. Prudence Castleden. It has a nice ring to it.”
He chuckled. James helped to remove the collar then caressed the cross he’d given her. The cross lay nestled between her br**sts. She shivered from his touch. “I can’t think when you touch me like that,” she said.
“Then you know how I feel most of the time. You’re my life, Prudence,” he said, capturing her chin. He pressed his lips against hers never wanting to let go. “I couldn’t think straight when I thought I lost you. You’re my woman, and I couldn’t bear the thought of a life without you. If I hadn’t found you, I would never have given up. You’re my life, my world, and I intend to make you the happiest woman alive.”
“Look what you’ve done,” she said, wiping the tears from her eyes. “I love you so much. I never blamed you for what happened, but part of me is a little glad. I know I sound like a sicko for thinking it, but we’re closer now than we’d ever been.”
James pulled her close, holding her tighter than ever before. The woman in his arms possessed the key to future in his life. Until she entered his life he’d only been half a man. No woman breached the walls he’d erected over the years. One by one, Prudence had knocked them down and forged her way into his heart.
