**Confronting the Past, Embracing the Future**
Part 6
As they walked, James turned to Regulus and asked, "Do you think your father would be willing to meet me?" Regulus hesitated, unsure of how his father would react to James's request. "I'm sure he'd be happy to meet you," he replied, choosing his words carefully. James nodded, his eyes gleaming with a knowing light. "I think it's time we had a little chat, just the two of us," he said, his voice low and conspiratorial. Regulus raised an eyebrow, sensing that James wanted to discuss something private. As they ducked into a quiet alleyway, James turned to Regulus and said, "I have a proposition for you, but I need to speak with Orion first." Regulus's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly nodded and retrieved Orion from his pocket. James took the phone and dialed a number, waiting for Orion to answer. "Hey, it's James," Orion said, his voice smooth as silk. "I need to discuss something with you. Can you hear me out?" Orion's tone was cautious, but James pressed on. "I'm with Regulus, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to listen to a proposal." Orion's voice was measured. "What kind of proposal?" James took a deep breath, his words tumbling out in a rush. "If I can...change Regulus, make him into the kind of submissive you've always wanted, can I have him?" There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, James wondered if he'd misjudged the situation. Orion's response was calm, calculating. "What do you mean by 'change' him?" James's eyes locked onto Regulus's, and he could see the fear and uncertainty lurking there. "I mean, if I can turn him into a dumb, begging, furniture-humping bitch in heat, someone who can't resist being ravished and dominated...can I have him?" Orion's laughter was low and menacing. "Ah, James, you're a bold one, I'll give you that. But I think we can work something out. If you can do that to Regulus, if you can break him down and remake him in our image...then I think we can come to an arrangement." James's heart was racing as he listened to Orion's words, and he knew that he had to agree. "Deal," James said, his voice firm. Orion's response was immediate. "Alright, James. You have my blessing to try and remake Regulus in our image. But be warned: if you fail, there will be consequences." James nodded, even though Orion couldn't see him. "I understand. I'll do it." As James ended the call and turned to Regulus, he could see the fear and uncertainty in his eyes. Regulus's face was pale, and his voice was barely above a whisper. "What did you agree to, James?" James's smile was cold, calculated. "Oh, just a little wager, Regulus. Let's just say that if I can turn you into the kind of submissive Orion and I want...you'll be mine."
