The match only ends once one competitor accepts a verbal submission from their opponent. After each submission without an accepted verbal component, the loser of that submission must obey the opponent's orders to worship for the next five minutes.
The plush apartment set hummed with the subtle energy of a stage about to come alive, and Avery Merritt moved through it like a queen surveying her kingdom. The lighting had been meticulously adjusted to cast a soft, golden glow over the space, highlighting the luxurious velvet seating, the pristine bedding, and the stark contrast of minimalistic props. It was a setup designed to be simple yet indulgent, a perfect backdrop for someone of Avery’s caliber to shine.
And shine she would.
Her attire, as always, was a masterpiece. The shimmering fabric clung to her curvaceous frame, accentuating her every contour. Her collarbone, sharp and alluring, caught the light as she moved, while her toned shoulders and the plunging neckline that dipped into her cleavage made an unspoken promise of dominance. But it was her legs, long, strong, and endlessly shapely, that commanded the most attention, a testament to her power and beauty. She took deliberate steps, the sound of her feet padding against the studio mats in a rhythm that seemed to dictate the pace of the evening.

Her thoughts lingered on her opponent for a moment, her smirk widening. She had done her research, of course. Yuto seemed no threat, not to someone of her refinement and skill. Men like him existed to make her look good. And in this particular setting, a studio apartment meant to simulate the intimacy of home—though Avery would never be caught dead living in a studio apartment—the visuals of her dismantling him would be nothing short of poetic.
She paused in front of one of the plush armchairs, her gaze scanning the room one last time before it landed on her reflection in the nearby mirror. Her confidence radiated as she adjusted a loose strand of blonde hair, ensuring every detail of her appearance was as flawless as the victory she had already envisioned.
“Perfect,” she murmured to herself, her voice low and honeyed.
Her fingers grazed the arm of the chair as she leaned slightly, testing the sturdiness of the furniture. Not that it mattered much. She could dismantle Yuto in the middle of the floor if she had to, but the drama of tossing him into a plush seat or pinning him against one of the walls had a certain appeal.
The door creaked, and the faint sound of footsteps announced the arrival of her opponent. Avery’s smirk deepened, her piercing gaze turning toward the sound. Ishigami Yuto had no idea what he had walked into, and that suited her just fine.
“Ah,” she drawled, her voice rich and commanding, “right on time. I hope you’re ready to be taught a very valuable lesson, darling.”
