Summary
On good days, Louis let him serve. Armand could let the role consume him, his mind empty, holding his hands behind his back as if they were bound for hours. And there was pain, yes, there was always pain; the crop and the flogger, reward and punishment. An intoxicating sensicality. Here is what you have done; here is what will be made of it.
But sometimes Louis was elsewhere, and Armand did all he could to claw himself back to the burning spotlight of Louis’s attention. He paid in careful obedience, in well-performed penitence, in a willingness to endure whatever was asked of him.
Today: Louis needed this. And Armand needed to be what Louis needed. There was nothing else.
Louis comes home angry. Armand faces the yawning edge of what he is willing to endure to bring Louis back to him.
