______________

Waking up, I opened my eyes slowly. It was dark, but I was able to see my surroundings clearly enough; due to our specialised eyes my people had great night vision. Momentarily disorientated, I wondered where I was for a few seconds before my memory woke up. I flushed at the recollection of my slip up the previous night. The way my master had put me to bed, soothing my distress burned a deeper shade on my cheeks. He must have thought me such a child! I realised my eyes felt really puffy, and recalled I had fallen asleep in tears.

Panic raced through me, when my master saw me like this he would be disgusted, I could feel the crust that had formed on the edges of my lids. I would have moved to wipe it off but his arms were wrapped tightly around me, imprisoning my arms. A soft sigh from behind froze me, had I somehow waked him up? I waited breathless until I felt him rub his face into my hair, cuddling closer. Relieved, I sagged back against him.

A mistake.

I felt something hard pressed against my backside just as I noticed his head moving back. Hoping he would still be asleep, I craned my head around to come face to face with my master.

Whose eyes were wide open.

I accidentally gave a squeak of surprise before whipping my head around, frantically trying to conceal my face.

There was a short pause before I heard my master chuckle. His chest vibrated with laughter against my back and I wondered, what was so amusing? I felt his breath on my neck before he planted a lingering kiss there, the heat of his lips making me shiver. He laughed again and clambered over me, landing in front of me. I tilted my head downwards so he wouldn’t see the gunk on my face. His hand cupped my cheek and drew my face up to his. He drew closer, and I thought he was about to kiss me. Instead he scrutinized my face intently, causing me to squirm under his gaze.

I woke up and snuggled closer to my adorable alien. Rubbing my nose in his hair, I inhaled deeply and appreciatively.

It smelled so good… Then it happened. Kaden sagged back against me, his soft and pert backside rubbing against my morning erection, creating delicious warmth and pressing it against my belly with arousing pressure.

His head craned around and as he stole a peek, I felt something welling up in my chest that seemed suspiciously like laughter. His eyes grew wide as he registered I was awake and watching him. He turned his head around so fast I half feared he’d get whiplash.

A large grin broke out on my face and I couldn’t help but chuckle at his ‘deer in the headlights’ expression. His twist had caused his hair to slip down his side, in between us exposing his swan neck. I impulsively learned over and pressed a kiss on to the patch of milky white skin and kept my lips there, it was soft and warm, and his scent washed over me in waves. I felt him tremble under my lips and laughed again. I had not forgotten his backside on my privates and decided I had better move before I lost control and ravished him on the spot.

And I wanted to get to know him first. I had decided the previous night to woo my little slave boy; maybe then he would want to… when the time came. The thought of taking him against his wishes made my stomach roll. He would never show it, being too well trained and would welcome my advances outwardly, I knew. But I didn’t want that.

Despite my self-placed restrictions, I felt playful, almost kitten-ish. Grinning, I abandoned my habitual dignity and climbed over him. I smiled as he ducked his head down and pulled his face to look at me. I was caught in his beautiful eyes and examined his exquisite features again. The marble skin, patrician nose and high cheekbones… I zoomed back onto his eyes, I saw evidence of his crying last night, a few grains of yellow had crusted on the edge of his eyes. I felt him fidget under my stare and sighed inwardly, I would get him to trust me sooner or later.

In the meantime… I brought my other hand up and brushed away the gunk at his eyes. Smiling at him, I tapped my finger on his nose and said, ” All clean now.” The translating device was still clipped onto the side of his ear so he would understand what I was saying.

I was wondering what I had to do this morning, I turned and looked at the digital clock on the far right wall: eight am. Just about the time…

“Mr. Strand, it’s Patricia.”

A woman’s voice came on over the speakers, business-like and smooth, it went on after a slight pause.

“You’ve got an appointment with the property development board at twelve to three thirty today sir. Then at five you’ve got a charity dinner at the Plaza de Scorpios. The files you wanted on Delling corps. are on your desk, sir. May I recommend you take a close look at the third one, I’ve highlighted some very interesting facts in pink. Is there anything else you want to schedule in for today sir?”

I smiled and shook my head, “Pat, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Jareth?”

“Every single morning sir.”

I laughed and got up and the static of the speakers informed me my efficient secretary had gone off line. Turning to my adorable bedmate, I smiled and asked, “So, what would you like for breakfast?”


I stared at the spread in front of me mouth hanging open. I turned and looked at my master, shock all over my face, eyes wide open. We had entered a dining room and were standing in front of a large wooden table which was three times as long as I was tall and every square inch was an elegant display of tableware, silverware, linen and whatever else a table could possibly need. Oh yes, and the dishes on dishes of food. When I told master I didn’t know what I wanted, that anything he saw fit to give me would be fine, I didn’t mean everything!

I was so dazed by the extravagant display I didn’t notice my master had already sat down and was signaling me to come to him with an amused, knowing look in his eyes. Blushing, I hurried to his side and knelt by his side just as my teachers had instructed me. Looking up at him, I asked, “ Master, do you wish me to serve you?”

He seemed a little bemused himself and I wondered what had caused that. When he didn’t reply for a while, I placed a hand on his thigh and asked again, “Master, would you like me to serve you?”

At my touch, he snapped himself out of it visibly. Laying a warm hand on my head, he shook his head no and replied, “I’d like you to sit next to me, right here.” gesturing to the chair next to him.
I recoiled in plain stupefaction and directed my gaze to the green-carpeted floor; Master wanted me to sit next to him? My teachers had never taught me what I should do in this situation. I felt so torn. He was my owner; I had no right to sit next to him like… like his equal.

I looked up again and knew I had to obey him, no matter how uncomfortable I was. I got up and hesitantly stretched out a hand to the chair to pull it out. He must have grown impatient with how long I was taking as he put his hand out and pulled it away from the table for me. I cringed at his displeasure, apologizing as I sat down.

“I’m sorry Master.”

He looked surprised and I realized he had not given me permission to speak. I wondered if he would let it slide and marveled at my daring, here I was sitting next to Master and daring to try to evade my just punishment. Still my heart skipped a beat when he turned confused eyes upon me and asked me what on Earth (his home planet?) I was apologizing for; perhaps he would forgive me if I were to be honest? He didn’t look angry.

I almost laugh aloud at my slave’s awe at the customary breakfast buffet ion front of us. He had such an expressive face and it was sooo adorable!!!

I barely manage to hide my grin as I signaled him from where he had frozen mid step, to come and sit down. He scurried to my side, twitchy like a mouse. I smiled at him and before I could say anything, he sank to his knees beside my chair, on the floor. Gracefully, in one smooth motion, sinuous and snakelike, my mouth went dry at his lithe body gracefully sliding forward slightly to center his balance before he sat back on his heels, offering me a split second suggestion of his plump and shapely bottom pressed against the grey slacks I gave him to wear until the tailor arrived.

I was so out of it, I didn’t notice he was speaking me. Or rather, I did but the words failed to register themselves in my brain. Only when he placed his hand on my thigh and spoke again did I manage to drag myself out of my stupor. He was asking if I wanted him to serve me my food? Wait a minute, why was he on the floor?

I placed my hand on his head and managed to say in a rather hoarse voice that I’d like him to sit next to me instead. He stood up in another fluid motion and stared at the chair I had asked him to sit in like it was a bout to bite him. His brows twisted in a worried frown and he looked torn at my request. Reaching out a slightly unsteady hand to the seat’s back, he was about to draw it out. I realized he might have been more accustomed to sitting on the floor in a manner befitting a proper slave.

It would be tough to get the ingrained behavior out of him, but I would rather a more… assertive mate. I didn’t want to control him, it seemed unnatural. What kind of relationship would that be. I ignored the voice in my head that spoke up in a snide tone, saying sarcastically “The kind where you bought a human being (or something close to it) as a pleasure slave, maybe?”

He seemed to be unable to bring himself to take the chair out from under the table. I decided to do it for him, I’d take things slowly or he might retreat into his ‘good slave’ persona faster than you can say “Bob’s my uncle.” And all I’d be left with would be pretty furniture.

As he slid in the seat, I noted his fearful expression. I frown and wonder what he was thinking. He turned and looked at me when I was contemplating the benefits telepathy and apologized in a sweet but slightly scared voice. He lowered his head and looked up at me through a heavy curtain of auburn lashes.

Bewildered I asked him, “What on earth are you apologizing for?”

He took a breath and fidgeting in his seat he told me, “I spoke without your permission, Master. And I was too slow to follow your order. I… Please Master, are you going to punish me?”

He looked so sweet, twisting his hands together in his lap, anxious over his imagined wrongs. I sighed as I realized he’d been calling me ‘Master’ again. I stretched out my hand and caressed his cheek. I pulled his chin upwards and as he looked at me, I told him softly, “You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m not going to punish you.”

He still looked unsure, and, determined to erase his rather pouty expression; I leaned forward and planted a firm kiss on his soft lips. Blushing lightly, I reached out and snagged a piece of sashimi to cover for my discomfiture.

Turning back to Kaden, I told him,” Open your mouth.”

As he did so, I slipped the slice of salmon in between his parted lips. He chewed for a moment and then swallowed. His moves moving slightly in a vaguely suggestive manner, I followed the curve of his creamy throat as he swallowed the fish and wondered if it would look just as enticing in… other activities. When he stuck his tongue out to clean his lips, I wondered if he was deliberately putting on a show for me.

I stopped short once I realized what I was thinking. The mental pictures my mind was coming up with threatened to embarrass me in front of my companion. When had I become so wanton? I realized my slave was looking downwards again and believing I was the cause, prepared to sooth him again. Thus it was a complete surprise when he suddenly looked up at me with a rather suggestive grin on his exquisite face. Curious as to what caused that particular expression, I was startled when he leaned forward in his chair to place his hand on my chest looking downwards as he did so.

Following his gaze, I flushed hotly when I figured out what he was staring at so pointedly. My unbidden erection…
