"Exquisite. As breathtaking and beautiful as your love for me."

When they stepped in, Maximillian took a purple cloth from the nightstand and put it around Julian's eyes.
"It is a surprise," he whispered into the omega's ear. "So please indulge me, my love."
A smile tugged at Julian's lips.
"It better be good," he teased.
"It is."
A lingering kiss, feather-light, grazed the nape of Julian's neck. Then, with a touch that lingered a moment too long, Maximillian drew away.
There was the sound of a drawer yielding its secrets, the rustle of fabric, and then a metallic snap. A while later, cool smoothness brushed against Julian's skin as something settled around his neck.
"Open your eyes, my love."
The purple blindfold slipped off, and Julian opened his eyes.
Around his neck was a choker crafted from light titanium alloy, each curve adorned with a constellation of sparkling blue diamonds.
