Strip for me..

After a long pause, Adrian nodded. "Alright. Let's do this."

Hera's smile was radiant, her pride shining through as she extended her hand. "Then kneel, Champion."

Adrian hesitated, the command clashing with his instincts. 

But as he met Hera's gaze, the tension in his chest loosened. 

Beyond her arrogance, there was a glimmer of understanding—perhaps even admiration. Slowly, he lowered himself to one knee, the motion feeling like both surrender and liberation.

Hera's expression softened, and she extended her hand, brushing his cheek lightly. 

Her touch was warm, soft, yet commanding. "You've made the right choice," she said in a calm and steady tone that conveyed both confidence and pride.

Adrian said nothing, only giving her a small nod.
