Luck lay on her bed in her room staring at the ceiling. It had been a week since the whole thing with Miyuki and the Empress, and her dreams involving Sly had only increased in intensity, now incorporating Maneki as well. Last night’s dream had them both servicing Sly together happily. This increase began the night after the incident with The Empress. And then there was how she reacted and acted during the incident itself. It was all pointing her in one direction, and she knew well where it was leading. She closed her eyes as she stood and walked to her closet. Opening it, she moved a few clothes down the rack and stared at the object hung in the back of the closet on a nail. “I’m gonna do it.” she thought to herself as she took the circular item and turned to leave her room.

Sly walked through the house whistling to himself. He had just come from a shower and walked into the kitchen. Grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge he is surprised to find Luck standing in the room with him when he closes the door. “Whoa Luck, you startled me.” he said. The cream colored feline stood there staring at him, trying to work up the words to say. “Is there something you wanted?” he asked curiously, seeing the look on her face. “Sly…I…” she started with a little difficulty. “What’s that behind your back?” he asked seeing her holding something. “I…Here!” she said suddenly, holding her hands out. Sly looked confused as he stared at the object in her hands. It was her collar. “You’re giving me your collar? Why?” he asked. Luck took a deep breath as she went over what she would say in her head. “I want you to have it. I-I made a promise to myself back at the agency that I would never surrender my freedom or will willingly to anyone I did not truly love, trust, and respect, and didn’t truly love, trust, and respect me.” she replied truthfully. “So what you’re saying is…” he started, trying to get her to clearly state what she wanted. “You adopted me and ‘Neki from the Silver Lining Adoption Agency without expecting us to be what they had spent so much time training us to be. You opened your life and your home to us and asked for nothing in return. And more than once you’ve put your own life on the line to protect us. That last one alone is worthy of trust. You’ve proven yourself to be a kind and caring person that puts the needs of others above your own, that gained you my respect. And as I hung there at The Empress’ mercy, enduring her tortures and waiting, praying that you’d come for me I realized…I love you Sly. And I…I want you to be my Master.” she said seriously, a blush spreading across her face. Sly looked taken aback as he stared unbelieving at the feline. “Are you feeling okay Luck?” he asked concerned. “I’m fine. I just realized how immature I’ve been. I’ve been fighting against my own feelings, refusing to see what was right in front of me. A truth I’ve known since the first day I came here one year ago. That you are my Master Sly.” she said smiling at him. “Are you serious? You know April 1st is still a ways off.” he said. “This isn’t a joke Sly. I’m completely serious about this. Will you take me as your submissive? Your Pet?” she asked, her blush darkening. Sly stepped forward and stared into Luck’s eyes. He could see the seriousness there. She was speaking the truth of what she wanted. “Never did I expect you to actually ask this of me. But I will accept you.” he said as he took the collar from her hand. Luck almost twitched with joy as she felt the collar leave her hand.

Sly stepped up and reached behind Luck's neck, removing her necklace. She looked at him confused as he wrote a quick passage in his notebook, the two items began to glow as they melded together before her eyes, leaving only the collar behind. I know you Luck. You won’t like being submissive all the time so I am leaving you the option of wearing your necklace still. The two items are one and the same now, and will instantly change to whichever you desire. But when I call for it you will put on your collar and be submissive to me is that understood?” he asked seriously. “I understand Master. I submit myself to your commands.” she smiled. Sly moved behind Luck and with a quick motion buckled her collar around her neck once more. Luck closed her eyes as she felt the familiar, yet now foreign feeling of leather encircling her neck. She smiled as she reached up and felt the collar, running her fingers over it softly before turning to look at Sly, her chosen Master. A new feeling welled up from within her. As result of this event a part of her that she’d ignored for so long felt fulfilled. “Thank you for everything Sly…Master.” she said as she hugged him tightly. “You’re welcome Luck.” he said hugging her back. “I wonder what ‘Neki is going to say when she hears about this.” mused the feline softly. “Speaking of Maneki. She and I have been working on a small side project, and I just thought of a way you can help us out.” said Sly pulling back, a mischievous smile on his face now. Luck looked a little apprehensive at his words, but she knew that he would never do anything to hurt her or Maneki and she followed his lead as he took her hand and led her over to the entrance to the basement.


This pic was a long time coming as well. That's right. All of the clues I've been dropping over the past months have all been leading up to this moment. This wonderful piece was done for me by  Xeladaria a few months ago, but of course I couldn't post it until The Empress was complete. I wanted something special for Luck's anniversary as well. This seemed like the perfect thing. A little late, but better late than never.
