Midday naps are wonderful. The sun beams through the window onto Kassie’s sleeping figure and her dewy skin glistens, her lacy white lingerie blends in with the folds of the linen she lays on. Mr Robert admires her for a moment from the doorway, moments like this make him feel so proud and so lucky to have a girl like Kassie, so beautiful, so willing to learn, so eager to please.
“Kassie.” He announces, his voice is not harsh enough to startle her, but assertive and clear. Kassie stirs, her eyes blinking open. For a moment she is slightly disoriented, in a brighter room now that the sun has moved over the house.
“Oh, yes, Master,” she responds. She realises her delay and sits up straight. One corner of Mr Roberts’ lip raises slightly to form a reassuring half-smile.
“I’m glad that you are awake, it’s time for you to prove something to me.” He gets straight to the point, moving into the room and pulling the drawer out from under the bed to retrieve some lengths of rope.
“Yes, Master, I would be so happy to.”
“Good.”
