“I know, but it’s just one item. Please, Master?”
Alexandru scowled. “You won’t be always to get your way just because you say ‘please’.”
“Please.”
Dammit, his pet knew he was lying.
With a sigh, he dove into the pool, creating a huge splash that had Zari shrieking. “Master, unfair!”
When he surfaced from the water, the paper she held was completely wet, the ink smearing and making the words illegible.
“Sorry.” He swam to her side, floating in the water.
She beamed. “Good thing I’ve already memorized that one item.”
He grimaced and wondered if he should drown his pet next.
Zari was saying, “A pet must have the freedom to perform duties other than her obligations to her Master.”
He frowned. “Duties? Do you mean work?”
She nodded. “Like what I do as a soul seer—-”
“Which I still disapprove of.”
“And I still consider under negotiation.”
They glared at each other.
She broke down first. “There must be a way to compromise about this, Master. I can’t just ignore my visions—-”
“You can.”
“I’m one of the few soul seers left—-”
“Exactly,” he said flatly. “There are still other soul seers, but there is only one Zari Baltimore, only one girl who could be my pet.”
Her cheeks burst with color.
Ah, too cute.
He reached for his pet.
“Master, no, we haven’t stopped...” Zari moaned as Alexandru untied her bikini top.
“It’s your fault for blushing.”
“But YOU were the one who made me blu—-” This time, she could no longer speak, not with his mouth on her nipple.
When he lifted his head, he asked, “Your choice. Should we talk now or do we continue with this?”
“Continue,” she whispered.
“I can’t hear you, pet.”
“Continue please.” She was blushing hard now.
“Mm...still not hearing you. Maybe you should just offer your breast to me if you want us to continue.”
