Wild Obsidian: Recover

She‘s lost her footing. He refuses to catch her unless she can stand on her own. After a brutal divorce, Brin is left questioning everything-her confidence, her kink, and her identity as a Fire Top. The woman who once commanded heat and control now feels unsteady, fractured, and unsure if she deserves the space she once claimed. Returning to Obsidian is supposed to help her remember who she was. Instead, it forces her to confront who she might become. Lock sees her immediately-not as broken, but as braced. Guarded. One wrong step from collapse. He doesn‘t want a submissive or a bottom. He wants a partner. Someone strong enough to challenge him, steady enough to hold their own ground, and honest enough to call him out when he‘s wrong. He‘ll help Brin relearn her fire. He‘ll give her the space to burn again. But only if she‘s willing to do the work herself. And it all begins at her fire table at Obsidian-where heat reveals truth, control is earned, and standing tall matters more than falling apart. This Wild Obsidian short story explores power, partnership, and reclaiming identity after loss through consensual fire play and emotional trust.
