Chapter 31
“I have no wish to harm you, cousin,” Master Damien said calmly. “If you try to fight with me again, we will take you to the Administrators.”
Suddenly, two other men showed up at the aggressor’s sides. They cajoled him and pulled him back inside the building. They apologized and bowed their heads to my companions as they stepped away. We continued our walk home without further incident.
As we walked back to the compound, I wondered about what the man had said. Thinking back on the day, I didn’t remember seeing anyone that would have passed for female that wasn’t a slave. By what I’d seen, all the slaves seemed to be aliens here. Where were the native women?
I heard my mother’s voice in my head, in one of her few sober moments, recommending I be patient. “ALL things in good time,” she would say to me. That seemed Like good advice for now.
Back inside the Warrior’s compound I felt much more comfortable walking around in my outfit, even if it was mostly see through. Master Evan nudged Master Damien and pointed to a group of men standing by the wall. Master Damien turned and walked toward them calling out a greeting.
I remembered before and kept my head resolutely down. I was a little disappointed when I didn’t see a little set of feet with the men. I would have enjoyed talking to someone.
I was distracted by the pink plants lining the wall. A little silver thing shaped Like a fly was zooming around them. Without warning one of the plants shot out a tendril and caught the fly. The tendril dragged the bug into the depths of a tiny pink vase. It was fascinating. Bugs seemed to like to Land on the Leafy base of the pink plant, but if they flew above it; they got nabbed.
My new name was suddenly booming into my ears and I jumped up turning around. Master Evan’s roguish face was inches from mine. Inadvertently, I had crouched down to watch the funny Little plants; when I bounded up he was leaning over me. Any closer and I would have been kissing him.
He reached forward and pulled the strips of fabric back over my breasts, making a point to brush my nipples. He smiled down at me impishly.
“You are irritating Master Damien by not listening to him, go apologize,” he whispered in my ear.
I snuck a glance past Master Evan’s shoulder to see Master Damien standing several feet away looking annoyed. Everyone else also Looked a little put out. I walked toward them with my head down and thought about what to do. They didn’t Like it when I acted scared, so I had to act apologetic without being wimpy.

I remembered what Master Damien had told me. They wanted me to touch them without fear. It was decided, I would do what they wanted.
I looked up into Master Damien’s eyes as I approached him and put my arms lightly around his waist.
“I’m sorry I didn’t listen to you, Master Damien,” I said leaving my face tilted to his.
I prayed he wouldn’t strike me or push me away.
The men from before were still standing around and they commented as I touched Master Damien. I just left my eyes on him. He kept his arms folded across his chest as he leaned down.
“Apologize to my brothers, just as you have to me,“ he said and returned to his former position.
I apologized to Master Bane and Master Kein the same way. I approach Master Christof, slower. There was no way not to do this now. I slowly wound my arms around his waist and looked into his brilliant purple eyes; they Looked wild. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“I’m sorry, Master Christof,” I said quietly and stepped back.
He had looked Like he wanted to hit me.
Master Evan was right in front of me when I turned away from Master
Christof. “You didn’t apologize to me, Ciara, and I had to go get you,” he smirked.
I put my arms around his waist and looked up to find his face inches from mine again. lny do you put your arms around us?” Evan asked.
