He lifted his head up, reluctantly ending the kiss because he wanted to see her reaction. When her eyes slowly drifted open, Alexandru immediately moved his hands up, enough to reach the undersides of her breasts.

Zari stiffened in shock at her Master’s touch, unable to believe where his hands were. Just as unbelievable was the lack of protest from the teacher and the other girls in the room. Did they all thinkthiswas a proper welcome for a Master?

In a moment, I’m going to cup your breasts and play with your nipples. So one last time, pet – are you going to open your mouth?

Knowing Alexandru was not the type to bluff, Zari did one better.

It was Alexandru’s turn to be surprised when, instead of simply opening her mouth, Zari threw her arms around his neck and initiated the kiss. He recovered from his shock right away, of course, and returned the kiss with hungry passion, his tongue sweeping inside her mouth, dying for another taste of her sweetness.

Just one kiss, and Alexandru knew it would be impossible for him to stop.

Zari felt her Master sweeping her up in his arms just before breaking the kiss. She opened her eyes, dazed, and saw Alexandru staring at her like he was one inch away from devouring her.

She gulped.

Do you know how much I want you right now?

Err—-

I hope you’re ready for another private lesson about being my pet.

Her jaw dropped at his words. Did that mean...surely he couldn’t mean...

No, Master—-

I can’t wait, pet.

But they will ALL know why—-

And they’ll hate you even more. Isn’t that wonderful?

She dropped her head in defeat, hiding her face in the crook of his shoulder and neck.

Her Master laughed in her mind.

Bully.

Yes, I am,Alexandru agreed. Out loud, he said, “Madame Lavinia, please excuse Zari from your class. I need a private moment with my pet.”

“Of course, of course.” But this time, Zari could hear the awkwardness in Madame Lavinia’s tone, and she knew even the professor was taken aback at her Master’s boldness.

As he walked away, Zari still in his arms, Alexandru told her cheerfully,You should have seen their faces, pet. They were all grinding their teeth and glaring at you.

You are a BULLY, Master.

Yes, yes, I know. But we both know you like it that way, pet.

Chapter Two

“A Master must be made to understand that all rules of possession are void in times of life-threatening emergencies,” Zari said as she munched on a fry. She was seated cross-legged on a chair, next to her Master, who was in his usual position at the head of the table.

A rare scowl appeared on Alexandru’s normally smiling, handsome face. “No.”

“Be reasonable, Master,” she cajoled. “What is one feeding in exchange for saving a life?”

“Read my lips, my pet. NO.” He fisted her hair, bringing Zari forward so he could kiss her hard. “Everything of you is mine, and I do not care how many men have to die because of it.”

YOU CAN PUT ME DOWNnow, Master.Zari didn’t really mean it, but she thought she owed it to herself to say the words. After all, this feeling of wanting to be close to Alexandru and being attracted to him was simply a side effect of his powers. It wasnotreal. She had to remember that.
