good. She felt amazing. Powerful.

A slave girl approached Chase and greeted him with a kiss on the mouth.

Sabrina’s face went cold. She swallowed hard and looked away, doing her best to keep her face

inscrutable. Her heart pounded in her ears.

“I can’t do this,” Sabrina whispered, tears burning her eyes. She shook her head. “I can’t—” Her

Richard’s eyes turned sympathetic, and he gave her a sad smile. “I remember the first time I saw

another man kiss Kathy.” He stroked Sabrina’s cheek. She felt the release from her Master’s
