BLUE MOON HOUSE

BOOK 4  EXCERPT

     In the morning, as he set about his chores, Sophia descended, interrupting him. She poured him another cup of tea from the pot he had made with his breakfast.

     “Is this about Nicholas?” he asked, standing and sipping.

     “Please, Will, sit down.”

     He did, less uncomfortable than he had once been sitting with his master. He was sure this had something to do with Nicholas indulging him.
      “Nicholas told me about last night.”

       He sighed. “You don't approve.”

     She took two breaths before answering, each one released in a bit of a huff. “It's not that. I worry about you not being in control. You have such tenuous control as a slave. I hate to see you lose the little you have.”

      He took another swallow of the tea, and smiled. “I'm not afraid of that. If everything you and Nicholas say is true, I will still have control. I can make it stop.”

     Sophia smiled and nodded. “That's exactly right. I’m glad you know that. I also...” She pursed her lips as she chose her words carefully. “I wonder if you would rather be in charge in such encounters. It's the way you directed Nicholas last night. Will, are you sure you'll be happy taking direction and instruction from another?”

      It wasn't something he'd thought about. It was true; he had had command in that situation, strange when he had control of so little normally. A slave didn't own or command anything.

      No, that wasn't true. He was in control of his leisure time, though his masters controlled when and if he had any. He was in control of what he purchased and ate. Since Sophia had purchased him, he had more command of his life than he imagined possible, and he took it for granted. Just as he had assumed control in every sexual encounter he'd had.

      Sophia watched him, the worry line on her brow easing the longer he took before answering. It was like she could see what he was thinking.

     “I don't think that will be a problem. I think...it might make things simpler.”

     She smiled. “Many find comfort in putting their pleasure into the hands of another, allowing them to decide where and how to take it. I didn't think you were one, but I know how appealing it can be.”

      Will's eyes widened slightly. “You have...been a slave?”

      She chuckled. “Not a slave, no. I was never owned, but I was a low servant and a whore. I have served another with no regard for myself. It wasn't entirely without benefit.”

     Will nodded in agreement. “There is comfort in knowing someone is taking care.”

     “Exactly.”
