“I totally don’t have to worry about caterers here. The staff gets a substantial discount at the property’s buffet, there are a few other restaurants and delis in the building if they want other options, and a fridge in the dressing room is restocked with bottled water daily. If I decide to feed them for a special occasion, I either take them to the buffet free of charge, or I have the bakery and deli bring in a combination of healthy and unhealthy choices.”
“Do you ever wonder if Gavin regrets stepping out from under Abbott? Or, Zander now, I guess.”
Lauren sighed. “I did in Branson, but he seems to be thriving with his power, here. Master of the entire state suits him better than Master of a small-ish city, I think.”
“It does. It’s like he can flex his power here, and he does, but he isn’t being an asshole about it. Mostly, though, I think this situation works better, with all of us under the same roof, and the rest of the coterie somewhere else. Some vampires live with their coterie, others live in their own home and merely keep their favorites from the flock close.”
Right. Five flock members lived in suites on the floor below the penthouse. Mostly men because Gavin couldn’t shake the idea that Lauren would be jealous of women and not men.
Lauren reached for her phone and looked through her other texts.
“I have a message from Becca saying one of her favorite slaves, Dante, was caught fucking another vampire’s property, and she’s asking us to punish him. Her options are to let the slave’s owner do it, or the hosting vampire. I think she’s hoping I will, rather than Gavin, else she’d ask Queenie, right?”
“It seems to me you should tell her we’ll handle it, and then you should punish him spectacularly, so no one ever doubts you have the mettle for it again.”
“He’s the cute little leopard who’s often sitting on the floor at her feet, right?”
“Yeah. With the green and blue spiked hair.”
“I’ve heard stories of what Becca has done to him on stage in front of people, and rumor has it she’s even rougher with him in private. I’ll have to do something super-spectacular to make an impression, but I don’t want to see this as some kind of competition.”
“Then don’t. Play with him however you need to in order to get yourself off, and then we’ll let Gavin handle the part where we punish him more than Becca or Kendric would.”
With the competition aspect taken away, Lauren looked forward to playing with the gorgeous little leopard with the smart mouth. She returned Becca’s encrypted text with,Send him to our dungeons in his smallest cock cage, preferably one with an extension into his urethra he can pee through. I’ll order him bound on the wall by wrists and ankles while he waits for his punishment. The guards patrolling your floor will have instructions of where to take him, and the dungeon personnel will be waiting for him. They’ll take him down on a private elevator, so you can hand him over naked.
Thank you. He needs punishing, but he’s my favorite slave and I want to make sure he’s returned to me whole.
Which vampire might not return him whole? She probably should have asked about that from the beginning, but no time like the present.Whose slave did he fuck?
Mikael’s. He’s one of Brooke’s vampires. Technically, she’s listed as property, and he calls her his pet, but she falls under the legal definition of a slave, as his personal property. She didn’t tell Dante no, but she also didn’t consent. Dante says she wanted to and she enjoyed it, but I have a feeling Mikael won’t care. Vampire law is pretty clear about how insults and damages are handled.
Mikael was another of the child vampires, perhaps twelve or thirteen when turned. Hispetwas an owl, around nineteen or twenty, if Lauren had to guess. Lauren would have Gavin look in her head as well as Dante’s, though she felt certain Kendric already had — or would when he rose.
When did this happen?
This morning.
Which meant Becca was lining things up before the vampires rose and found out. Lauren looked on the guest list she still had in her phone to see what Mikael’s pet was named, before texting,Gavin will want to look at Dante and Ioana’s memories. Dante will have to be punished no matter what, but I’ll be a lot rougher on him if she viewed it as rape.
As you should be. If he raped her, he’ll be in a cock cage for a year without an erection, and he’ll be open season for anyone in the coterie to fuck for a month — twenty-four seven, and there will be a motherfucking line waiting their turn for days once I put him on a fucking station and declare him available to any and all, slave or freeperson. Rape or not, he’ll be locked in a cock cage anytime we are guests in someone’s home in the future.
The vampires won’t care if it was rape or consensual. Property can’t consent. Lauren understood the slaves who lived in Gavin’s territory had gained that status for a reason — most often because they were being punished for something they’d done as freepersons.
Supernaturals who couldn’t be trusted to keep The Great Secret lost their freedom. Gavin expected someone from the Concilio would perform whatever ritual had to be done for Jason to be his legal slave sometime tonight. He said it had to happen within three days, but rarely took that long.
She put a call through to the Dungeon Master, let him know what to do with Dante, and told him the room he’d be coming out of. While she did that, Becca had texted,I’m aware. I’ve been a slave, and I know how one survives the experience. Being fucked by someone your Master hasn’t given you to is so much harder than accepting a decree from the person who owns you. I’ve played with Ioana, and I can’t imagine she consented without her Master’s permission. I’m so mad at Dante, I don’t trust myself to punish him just yet.
The guards outside your room have their instructions. Send him downstairs so the wait for his punishment can properly begin.
Lauren’s orders were for him to be placed into the steel shackles attached to the wall, so his arms would be over his head and his feet spread wide below him. A ball stretcher would separate his balls from his caged dick, and weights would pull them down. Dante would be there for at least four hours, probably closer to five, before it was time to play with him.
She’d heard Gavin give orders to the dungeon’s staff more times than she could count, and questioned him about his reasons enough, she felt confident he’d approve of her directives.
Chapter 51
Life surged into Gavin with the dying of the sun, and he sat up, happy to be alive. The electrical jolt of rebirth was there, but it was the norm.
Somehow, the bonding of vampire, lion, and magical human had balanced out whatever was wrong with Gavin’s energy.
