“No. I mean, you value me. The person I am.” The tightness in her chest eased and she took a deep breath, her first truly free breath since her divorce.

“Yes, I—” Master Giacomo stopped, clutching his right hand as if it pained him. His eyes grew wide, staring at the unblemished skin. With a sharp crack, his silver bracelet broke in two, the halves falling into his lap. He blinked twice then laughed. “This? This is your ultimate pleasure?”

“What are you—? You’re free!”

“Sì, mia tesora. My life is my own again.”

Sam nodded. She’d known she couldn’t keep him forever. And he’d given her a gift far greater than any she’d expected. The least she could do was let him go with a brave smile.

“What are you going to do with yourself?”

“I plan to devote myself to bringing you pleasure, in all the ways possible.” He smiled. “If that is all right with you?”

Her answering grin split her face. “That’s more than all right with me, it’s the answer to all my dreams.”

Unsnapping her seat belt, she knelt awkwardly on the floor space in front of the center console and laid her head in his lap, her wrists crossed behind her back.

“You are my Master and I am your willing slave.”

He rested his hand on her head, stroking her hair. “You are my treasure, bending to my will but never breaking, growing only stronger in my care.”

Gently, he placed a finger beneath her chin and tipped her head up. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead then to the tip of her

nose before finally claiming her lips.

An eternity later, Sam swam up from the depths of delight in which she’d been drowning and blinked his beloved features back into focus. A sudden thought made her gasp in realization.

“Mia tesora?”

“We’ve decided where my mother is going to stay. But where are you going to live, Master?”

He smiled wickedly. “I think perhaps you should introduce me to your mother.”
