Chapter Six

“I still don’t like you calling anyone Master.” Julian’s voice spoke of his irritation as he lifted her up to place her on the passenger seat of the airboat, which made up the first activity for the day. It was one of the new offerings of the island, which the Master had patterned after the tourist attractions in the neighboring islands of Key West.

As she waited for Julian to prop himself up and sit beside her, she asked teasingly, “Are you jealous?”

“You have to ask?” was his dry reply. “Of course I’m fucking jealous.” He took her hand so she could see his face. He didn’t want any secrets between them. Baring his emotions to anyone made him very uneasy, but if there was one thing he had learned from their encounter with the blond bitch from hell then it was that Cass mattered to him, more than he thought possible.

They might have only met, but it did not feel like that between them. With him and Cass, it felt like they were long estranged lovers who had finally found each other again. How else could he explain the bond he had felt with Cass the first time they saw each other?

She knew him, in the way that no other person knew him, and he knew her the same way.

Seeing Cass’ gaze still on him, Julian said bluntly, “You have been mine for over two years, and not once in our dreams you had spoken about this Master.”

The way he spoke of the Master made Cass giggle, and she threw her arms around him. “It’s just a name. You’re my real master, and that’s the truth.”

The playful look on her upturned face was too cute to resist and uncaring of the boat driver’s presence behind them, Julian hungrily pulled her head close so he could kiss her. Her mouth was even sweeter than he remembered, and he kissed her more deeply, his tongue stroking hers aggressively, wanting everything she could offer.

When he lifted his head, and it was purely so she could breathe, he told her seriously, “Never call any other man your master.” He spoke the words in the voice he used when issuing a command as a prince, but his authority seemed to be lost on her.

Cass pinched his cheeks. “Get over it.” With their hands entwined, Cass was able to see his face clearly, and his disgruntled expression at having his cheeks pinched made her smile widen.

“Disobedient wench,” Julian murmured, but the way he spoke made the words sound like an endearment.

Just to make him smile, she told him, “Your English is so old school.”

He retorted, “And you giggle like you’re still in kindergarten.”

Cass showed just how much she cared for the insult by giggling even more.

As the airboat started to move, the engine roaring noisily to life as it glided over the water, Julian was forced to shout to make himself heard. “Don’t think you’ve succeeded in distracting me.”

“Distracting you?”

“From forgetting you haven’t promised not to call any other man master.
