“I wouldn’t want you to discuss sex with her. You heard….that conversation.”

“Fair. This relationship between us will include much more than sex.”

Collin nodded. He picked up the first page of the contract. It was written in plainer language than he had expected. Infinitely more understandable than his phone contract had been.

“You’re offering a lot, sir. This is… I…feel selfish accepting this. You’re essentially taking on everything.”

“I ask a lot, Collin. You won’t have time or ability to look after all that while you are serving me and becoming what I know you can become.”

“That is going to require years, sir.”

“Damian has been with me for years. I’m offering you no more or less than I offered him. The contract is tailored to you, but it started from a similar place.”

Collin braced his hands against the edge of the couch. “And you can handle me and him and still be with Mr. Moreau?”

“I wouldn’t take on another. Three is my capacity. And yes, I can. I do not keep my relationships siloed. You and Damian will be brothers in submission to me. The Residency is my space of freedom. You will not be spared from your submission to me being seen by Damian or Émeric or any of Émeric’s submissives, should he choose to have them here.”

“Does he?”

“Currently he has one relationship apart from myself. She lives in Tokyo. They see each other once a month. So you will likely meet her every two months. I occasionally hold social events for others in the lifestyle that I find trustworthy and of quality character.”

“Will you share me?”

“In the social events, no, unless we discuss it beforehand, and I don’t foresee either of us desiring that at this time. Some individuals enter this life and find new desires awaken. My own voyeurism is satisfied within my own household. So yes, I do plan to give Émeric and Damian permission to be intimate with you, as well as you with them.”

Blood suffused Collin’s cheeks.

“More than sharing, you should consider that the entire household will be aware and perhaps present to any training I put you through within these walls. Much as you have already seen me muzzle Damian, they will also see what I see fit to do with you. They may even participate and be tools in my hand.”

Collin swallowed around the embarrassment and stage fright in his throat. “I trust them, sir. I don’t think they would mock me.”

“No, they would not. Though that brings up one preference. Do I surmise correctly that degradation is not something you wish to engage in, in anyway?”

A shiver ran up Collin’s arms. “I never want to be called a slut, or a…a cum-bucket, or anything like that.”

“No, I didn’t think you would. And happily, that is not something I enjoy doing either. I find all my possessions to be things of beauty, to be valued and cherished.” Mr. Reevesworth made a mark on the third page of lists. “If I were, however, to refer to you as pet, puppy, kitten, pretty boy, bunny, little one, slave, property, youngling, and the like, in English or any number of other languages, would you find that degrading?”

Collin covered his face with his hands. “N-no, sir.”

“That is helpful.” Mr. Reevesworth made another mark. “We should try to go through this in order as closely as possible. Please finish reading the first page.”

Two hours later, Collin’s eyes were crossing from the shear breath of possibilities covered, and the blush on his cheeks had finally flown a white flag and surrendered.

Mr. Reevesworth marked the last adjustment on the fifth page in black pen, detailing that Samhain was a holiday of religious importance for which their relationship would need to make accommodation for travel to Collin’s family of origin. “I’ll give you time to think this over. When you’re ready, come to me with any final thoughts, and then we will sign.”

“Yes, sir. Is there a minimum amount of time required to think it over?”

Mr. Reevesworth paused. “Twenty minutes. Take at least twenty minutes.”

“Yes, sir. Do you…need time?”

Mr. Reevesworth smiled. “Collin, I’ve been planning this moment for months. I appreciate that you recognize the burden of responsibility on my end, but please also remember I enter into this freely. I never choose impulsively or without a full arsenal of reasons. And the rewards are immense. In time, you would come to recognize the pleasure I take both in you and from you.”

“And what if I disappoint you? What if you decide that you and I cannot go on?”

“Then I will tell you. And you will have access to everything listed here, housing, therapy, three months of living expenses, the same as if you broke off the relationship. I’ll have the legal documents proving that it is set aside for you within an hour of our signing this contract. You will not need my permission to access those things. The money is set aside and controlled by an independent law firm. All you have to do is call them and say that you are redeeming what is yours. They will need your ID and your social security number.”

Collin swallowed, eyes still on the table. He opened his mouth and closed it, shaking his head to himself.
