It might have been if didn’t have intentions to use her body to create his very first in-depth female pleasure map.

Cherie exited her shower, butterflies so fierce in her stomach she worried they’d carry her off. Entering the one room space, she looked around finding it empty. Okay. She tightened the belt on the terrycloth robe she’d found hanging in the bathroom then made her way to the small table with the lantern. She eyed the envelope with theOpenbeautifully scripted on the front.

Her heart fluttered as she picked it up and again looked around. Were there cameras here too? Bishop said these were private tests. She sat at the table and turned the envelope over in her hands, her pulse hammering as she opened it.

The second she readDear Cherie,her fears and dread felt the need to enter the scene.

From the moment I was told I had to conduct a test for you, I prayed non-stop about what to do. Being The Seer for The Twelve, I was clueless how to prepare you for that position. And then Isawwhat needed to be done. Next to the sofa there’s a small table with a drawer. In it are the contents that will determine whether or not this position is something you can fulfill. I’ve spoken to Bishop about all of it. If you can’t fulfill the contracts I’ve drawn up, I’ll be stepping down and leaving The Twelve. I will take another wife so that you are free to pursue whatever life and path you feel you need to.

I love you with all my soul. That will never change no matter what you choose.

Samuel

Cherie bolted out of the chair and found the small table next to the couch. She stared at it for many seconds before opening it and pulling out another sealed envelope that was larger. She brought it to the table and ripped it open, then pulled the stack of papers out.

She recognized his handwriting on the cover letter.

In this envelope you will find contracts that require you to sign everything over to me. Your life and your son’s life are to become completely and only mine. Your son will have my legal last name as would you. There is also a sexual contract you are to sign. It will give me complete ownership of your body to do with as I want, when I want, how I want and why I want in all sexual matters.

Your life will not be your own.

Your body will not be your own.

Your son will not be your own.

Everything will belong to me.

And if you ever decide to leave, he stays with me.

Read the documents carefully, Ma Cherie. Once you sign, it will be entered into the Swamp Courts. There will be no law made by man in this country that can undo it. Even if it means hiding with my son for the rest of our lives.

Love Samuel

Cherie ran to the bathroom and puked her guts up for five minutes.

She found a wall and leaned her back against it.This isn’t real. It’s just a test. That’s all.

She froze. What did the test require? Did he want her to sign it? Burn it? What was the right answer? If the test was for her to signed it and itwasn’tjust a test, then it could be binding. And what if the test was meant for hernotto sign?

She went over the cover letter for clues then the documents which were all as official as it could get. Take another wife? That one felt laughable. But in order for her to be morally free, he’d have to. That was just like him. Commit adultery and take the penalty so she didn’t have to. But take her son and hide him? Test or not, that boiled her blood just thinking about it. That’s exactly what Lazarus had done to her. Tried to own her and her son. How dare he ask something like that for atest?

Unless it wasn’t a test but real.

She made her way back to the table and sat heavily in the chair. A bout of nausea hit her when she realized. It could all beveryrealandbe a test also. Arealtest.

CHAPTER NINE

Maggie had never loved hot water more. She bathed quickly but carefully in case fucking was in their test. In the main room, she smiled at seeing an envelope on the table next to dice. How fun. She looked around, wondering if he was hiding nearby and watching. She opened the envelope, ready to take his test, dying to know what sort it would be given he was theStealthMaster.

Follow the sounds and find me. If you fail to find me, you lose. If you find me, you win. What will you lose and what will you win? Roll the Gauntlet Dice on the table then pick a note from the jar next to the coffee pot that matches the number of your roll.

She stood and looked, seeing the jar next to the coffee pot. She grabbed the dice and rolled. Six. That was a middle number.

She hurried to the jar and found the note with the number six and opened it.Sometimes in life, the middle of the road means you don’t win, and you don’t lose. And sometimes it means you win,andyou lose. In this game, if you win, you must flog me. And if you lose, you must flog me. Roll the dice again to determine how many minutes you have to find me. The number also represents how long you must flog me. For every minute you go over the time to find me, the number of flog minutes is multiplied by that number.

I hope to see you soon
