“Ms. Robert’s last visit was to the East Wing, so we have everything already made up. There’s a tray of refreshments waiting.”
“Thank you, Harold. We’ll be heading there now. I feel like I could use a nap before dinner.”
Lily yawned as I led her up the grand staircase and I couldn’t help but worry as we made it to the top. A door stood a good twenty feet ahead and two halls broke off to the left and right. As she turned us left, I weaved my fingers through her hair just above her ear and drew her head to rest on the side of my chest.
“Straight ahead?” I really didn’t need to ask where her room was. My guess was it was bigger than the rest. That meant at the end.
“Yes,” she said, quietly. “But I’ve only ever been here once, a few years back.”
I turned the door knob and pushed open the barrier. An off-white comforter covered a massive bed centered in the middle of the room. There was a setup to the right with a black loveseat, facing a fireplace. My head shook while I tried to take it all in. The penthouse was one thing. The luxury I’d seen her in had grown on me. But this? My head tilted back to look at the large crystal chandelier above. When I brought my gaze down, I spotted French doors that led to a balcony.
“Your brother…”
“Is Slade,” she finished. “He has quite the taste.” Lilian broke from me, shrugged off the black, knee-length trench coat, and tossed it on the foot of the bed. When she turned to face me, my heart began to race. There was so much emotion playing on her face. I was smart to worry. Tears shown in her eyes and her lip quivered. For the first time, we were alone, safe, and not having to hide who we were. The impact was like a fist to my gut.
Lily rushed forward, collapsing to her knees at my feet. She hugged tightly around my legs, sobbing as if she were a child. She’d been so strong and I had known it would only be a matter of time before this happened. The girl who left me over three years ago had overcome odds few people in their right mind would have been able to handle. After three years of putting on a mask, it was falling, breaking, right at my very feet.
“Oh, slave.” My fingers gripped her hair, holding her to me while she squeezed even harder. It was as if she was scared I’d disappear without the connection. Truth be told, I was almost weary myself. This seemed too good to be true.
“I was so afraid I’d lost you,” she rushed out. “All that time with Jonathon, I didn’t want to believe it, but I feared you were dead. Now this,” she sobbed even harder. “Is this really happening?” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked up. “I can be with you? For good?”
“Forever,” I said, sternly.
I wanted her to know I wasn’t going anywhere. That she never had to worry about losing me again. But I still had to go back to Afghanistan. That thought had me reaching down for her and pulling her small frame into me. I couldn’t think about that now. If I contemplated what might happen, I’d never be able to leave her, and I had to. Had to make my uncles pay for their crimes.
“I want you to look past these last few weeks and I want your head clear. I’ll be asking you this question throughout the course of our stay.” My hand stroked her face as I made her look at me. Before I spoke, I wiped away the tears. “I’ve told you once, and I’ll say it again, with me, it’s forever or never. You have my heart, Lilian. I want no one but you. Do you feel the same, as of right now?”
“Well…yes.” She looked confused. “Of course I do. Right now? I don’t like how you say that.”
My tongue traced my lips while I tried to gather my thoughts in a way she’d grasp. “You love what you know of me. What we shared. But things are going to be different this time, slave. I’m still your Master, but you may not like what comes with that, here, in the real world. We had four months together before you were taken. The first couple of weeks, I took it easy on you, letting you adjust to your new life. Then, you were pregnant. You never experienced who I truly am.”
Lilian’s eyebrows drew in while she watched me speak. I could imagine how fast her mind was turning over my words.
“You’re on birth control, correct?” I knew she was, but I wanted to hear her say it.
“The shot.”
I nodded. “You’ll stay on it for quite some time. A couple of years, at least. I want you strong and healthy when we decide to have another child. And we will, Lilian. At least two.”
“Children.” It wasn’t a question, but something she appeared to have to say. As if testing the word out loud.
“That’s right. You do want children, don’t you?”
Her head shook. “I don’t know. I haven’t really thought about it. I suppose…someday.”
“Good. It’s nothing we need to go into now. As long as I know you’re open to it, that’s all that matters.”
My fingers trailed up the back of her dress until I came to the top where the zipper rested. As I worked it down, Lily shivered and her breathing deepened.
“Until then, your body will belong to me. Completely. You have to grasp the definition of what I’m saying. When I want you, you will present yourself to me. Anytime. Anywhere. It doesn’t matter the location, slave. This,” I said, pushing her dress over her shoulders and letting it fall to the floor, “belongs to me. Your body is no longer yours.”
Her mouth opened, only to close. The black stockings were paired with black and white patterned, lace panties, with a matching bra. Her curves had my cock hardening instantly.
“You will take care of it. Treasure every inch of yourself with the upmost value. Why? Because you serve me. Seeing you flourish, makes me happy. Tasting you,” I said, nipping at her neck, “is what I crave.” My hands grasped both sides of her ribs and I raked my nails down to her hips with just enough pressure to make her gasp. “And fucking you is my pleasure,” I stressed. “That is the true way of a Master and slave. I will protect you, love you, honor and cherish who you are. But if you want me to be your Master, you will obey my rules. Every single one. Can you do that, Lilian?”
I pulled back enough to take in her expression. There was one hell of an internal battle happening inside her head. It showed by the way she bit her lip as her eyes scanned the surroundings off to our side. She’d been in control for so long. Could she just let it go all of a sudden? It wasn’t part of the new person she’d become.
“Work?”
