Narcissa was a daughter of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black. She knew her duty. At one point, she had been certain that duty would include marrying her cousin Sirius and producing the future Head of their House. But then her sister Andromeda had run away with a mudblood, breaking her betrothal contract with the Malfoys, and Sirius had just run away. Aunt Dorea was not an opponent that Aunt Walburga had been willing to fight, not when Grandmother Melania hadn't been willing to back her.

So in the end, Narcissa had been given to Lucius Malfoy in the place of Andromeda. It would have been Bellatrix's duty, except by the time anyone had realized that Andromeda wouldn't be coming back, Bellatrix had already been bonded to the older Lestrange brother. It had all left the House of Black with only two options. They could either leave the contract unfulfilled and lose their allyship with the Malfoys (and potentially start a blood feud with them). Or they could use their last remaining heiress to fulfill the contract.

But Narcissa was a Black. She was cunning. She was ambitious.

And most importantly: she knew her duty.

Regulus also knew his duty. As the younger son, the spare heir, he had grown up with no real thought that he would ever come close to being the Head of the House. He had still been raised with all the traditions and knowledge necessary. He had been raised to uphold the same noble ideas as Narcissa had.

Which was why Regulus was here with her in the large aviary on the Malfoy estate in Wiltshire. Just because Narcissa had to marry the Malfoy heir didn't mean that the heir she bore had to be his. That was just something that they had assumed would happen. It was an assumption that the Blacks were more than willing to allow so long as it didn't need to be corrected.

Of course, tradition didn't have anything to do with why Regulus was tied naked to an armless chair in the middle of the aviary. His pale skin practically glowed against the navy velvet of the cushion. Over and behind his head, there was a copper peacock with its wings spread triumphant. It glittered in the moonlight filtering through the glass skylights above.

And his cock stood out from his groin proudly, already hard enough that its head was fully out of its sheath. Just the sight of it made her more wet than any amount of dedicated effort made by Lucius. Her hips swayed as she moved to straddle his lap, hovering over that magnificent erection. Slowly, she sank onto it, intent to savor the way it split her open.

After all, the fertility potion she had imbibed before coming out here ensured that she should catch on this first try. The consequences if they were caught out was too great to risk another attempt until they were certain it was needed. She wanted to enjoy finally having what had been promised to her and stolen away, especially since Regulus was so perfectly willing to let her take it.
