Lindsey was Kade’s slave.
She was a slave.
His slave.
She wasn’t his girlfriend or his wife or his mistress.
She was his slave.
He didn’t have any obligation to care for her emotionally. He didn’t have to ask her how she was doing after sex or how she felt about being tied up. He didn’t have to because he had paid her, like an overpriced whore, to do whatever he wanted.
And this, Lindsey knew, was what Kade wanted.
He wanted her locked up, tied up, wet and ready for him.
So she stayed still as he moved into position behind her. She felt something soft touching her face, then realized he was tying a blindfold over her eyes. The material was soft and smooth. She thought maybe it was satin or silk, but couldn’t be sure and didn’t want to risk asking. If she was going to ask a question, she wouldn’t waste it on something stupid like what kind of fabric Kade liked to use when he tied up women.
Once the blindfold was securely in place, Lindsey focused on breathing. With her eyesight gone, she found that all of her other senses were drastically enhanced. She could hear Kade moving around the room, the gentle whir of the air conditioner, even the soft padding of his feet against the carpet.
Perhaps loudest of all, Lindsey could hear her heart pounding against her chest, begging to be cut free. It had been a very long time since Lindsey had been nervous with a man. It had been a very long time since she felt so unsure of herself in bed. It had been months, years maybe. Now she was tied to a bed in the basement of a dragon, and the only thing she could think of was that she needed to breathe.
Kade could do anything to her: cut her, bite her, make her bleed.
Anything.
Lindsey didn’t know what to expect. They had never discussed hard limits because, to be honest, she didn’t feel like she had any. From Kade’s perspective, he probably thought that because he had paid for her that Lindsey had to do anything he wanted. Either way, he had never asked if there was anything she didn’t want to do, anything she couldn’t do.
And Lindsey hadn’t pushed the issue.
She felt his fingers then, hard and pushing, against her spine. He traced down the curve of her back, not gently. The touch did not feel elegant or exciting. It felt strange, like he was testing the strength of her body. What did he have in store for her? Lindsey wished she knew
When Kade’s fingers reached the bottom of her spine, he cupped the round globes of her ass with each hand. He squeezed, gently massaging her, gently touching her. Then he returned to her spine and dragged his fingers down it again. This time, he used his fingernails.
The touch was unusual and strange. Since Lindsey couldn’t see what he was doing, she couldn’t anticipate his next move. She had no way to prepare herself physically or emotionally to deal with his touch. Each stroke of his fingers sent a shock through her body, making her ache. She didn’t just crave Kade; she needed him.
The third time he touched her, she bit her lip. It was hard not to moan with the way his fingers felt against her skin. She loved the touch, but she wanted more. She knew he would give it to her if she could only wait long enough, if she could only be good for him. He hadn’t forbidden her from making noise, yet somehow, Lindsey knew Kade wouldn’t reward moaning or begging.
He disappeared again, his hands leaving her body. Lindsey tried not to wiggle against her restraints, but it was hard. She felt exposed. She felt lost. She knew he hadn’t gone far. She could still hear him moving about. What was he doing now? What was he getting?
She felt the nipple clamps cool and hard against her body before she even realized what was happening. They hadn’t used the clamps yet, but she had tried them in the past, so she knew what they were. Kade gently reminded her to breathe as he placed them on her pert nipples. They pinched, but she didn’t complain. She knew that for each time he expected her to whine or complain, and she didn’t, she would be rewarded.
Kade was many things.
A monster was not one of them.
He loved when Lindsey was wet for him, loved the way her body craved his. He may have been part dragon, but he was all man. He loved the way she came for him, the way her body responded to each of his touches and commands, and tonight was going to be no different.
Kade pushed Lindsey’s knees apart. She struggled for a second, but then, with his help, found her balance. He ran his hand from her knee to the place between her thighs, then back down again. He did this with both legs until Lindsey’s body felt like it was going to explode. She was so close to orgasm she could feel it. She knew that as soon as he pushed his cock into her body, she would immediately come.
She had to.
But Kade had no plans to let her come so easily. No, Kade wanted to play with his toy, so that’s what he did. She thought, for a moment, that dragons were not so unlike cats or dogs. They didn’t want to just conquer their meal: they wanted to enjoy it. Kade would tease her for a very long time before devouring Lindsey. She wondered if she would be able to handle it.
She held still and stayed quiet as she felt Kade bring a riding crop to her lips.
“Kiss it,” he said. She felt the cool leather against her mouth, and she puckered her lips into a soft kiss. He made a sound of appreciation when she did it, and Lindsey felt proud of herself. She’d never been trained to be anyone’s slave before, but here she was: doing wonderfully.
The excitement was short-lived, however, because it wasn’t long before Kade began using the crop across her body. If Lindsey thought she was experienced in BDSM before that moment, she realized immediately that she had been wrong. While her other boyfriends may have enjoyed giving her the occasional spanking, it was nothing like having fire raining down on your body.
Kade’s movements started out slowly. Each smack was methodical and planned, like everything else in his life. He covered her body, moving leisurely from her ass to her back, then across her body to her belly and thighs. He even smacked her several times, gently, between the legs. Though the sting was a sharp surprise, it wasn’t unpleasant, not just yet.
“Breathe, my little human,” Kade murmured as he continued cropping Lindsey’s body. He smacked the top of her breasts, causing the nipple clamps to jingle slightly. The tug on her nipples sent waves of pain and pleasure through her body, settling in her core. Kade seemed to know exactly how much pain she could handle, then give her just a little bit more.
She breathed in and out as he cropped her over and over again. Stings radiated through her body. In, she breathed. Smack. Smack. Smack. Out, she breathed. Smack. Smack. Smack. Soon the only thing she could hear was the whoosh of the crop before it hit her body. Then the only thing she could hear was her own breathing as she lost all understanding of time, pleasure, and pain. It all blended together.
Lindsey let herself float away to a place where the only thing she knew was sensation. The only thing she knew was that she felt. She was no longer afraid of Kade or the way he might touch her. No, the only things that mattered were his pleasure and her obedience.
Everything else vanished.
He removed the nipple clamps suddenly, immediately rubbing and sucking on her nipples, easing the pain as the blood rushed back. She bit back a cry at the overwhelming abundance of feeling in her breasts. Kade continued to play and nip at her until she forgot about the sting and knew only the pleasure his mouth was bringing her.
Then he moved behind her.
She knew, even without him speaking, that this was it.
This was the moment.
This was where everything changed.
He swiped his tongue down her spine before gently biting each of her ass cheeks. She shivered at the touch, trying to keep her body relaxed, trying not to tense. She had seen Kade’s body plenty of times and knew exactly what she was getting herself into, but it didn’t make the experience any easier.
It only made her more nervous.
Still, she had been toyed with and played with
for what felt like hours. Her body was ready and they both knew it. She craved his cock, wanted it to drive up into her and make her forget about her life before Dragon Isle.
Kade teased her entrance gently for just a moment, just long enough for her to take a breath, then he plunged into her with a jolt, eliciting a sharp cry from her. He gripped her breasts as he took her, reminding her exactly who she belonged to. She leaned her head back against his chest, eager to feel even more of him against her.
Then his hands dipped lower, leaving her breasts, and rubbed gently between her legs.
“Come for me, my little human,” Kade whispered in her ear.
The explosion poured throughout her body, reaching every inch of her. She cried out as they came together in the darkness, together in the silence of the dungeon, owner and pet. A dark feeling of completion washed over her as she realized that their contract was finally sealed. She was his. For an entire year, she was his.
And she loved the safety she felt in knowing that.
When it was over, he untied her and held her as she cried, overwhelmed with the emotions she felt at the experience. Kade stroked Lindsey’s hair until her tears finally stopped, then he picked her up and carried her upstairs to bed.
She would sleep with him that night.

Kade worked from home the next day. Though he would have to go to the office regularly, he could stay home to play with Lindsey on less busy days.
“I still have to be in the study,” he warned Lindsey. “And I’ll need some company.”
Lindsey knelt at his feet and leaned her head against his legs. Kade pet her head softly as he argued with his employees and business partners about decisions that had to be made. Lindsey listened to some of what he said, but most of it was things she didn’t quite get.
Kade was quite the businessman. He owned several companies on and off the island. He also had real estate investments throughout the country. Unlike many business owners, it seemed like Kade had built his wealth himself. He hadn’t simply inherited the money. That was something to be proud of, Lindsey thought, but Kade never talked about himself around her. Not like that.
He hung up on his last call of the day and gathered Lindsey in his arms. Kade held her to him and gently fondled one of her breasts. Her nipples were already hard from being touched all day, and her body ached with the need for release. Kade hadn’t allowed her to climax while he was working, though he himself had come twice.
“Master,” she leaned her head against him and relaxed her body. “Please.”
“Please?” He asked, trailing his finger up and down her spine. “What are you asking for, pet?”
Kade liked to be asked. She knew that. He wanted to hear words of desire and longing pour from Lindsey’s sweet lips as she melted against him.
Lindsey still wasn’t quite sure how it all worked.
When she had been with men before, she had talked dirty enough. “I want your cock” and “Yeah, baby, give it to me,” were easy enough to say in bed. Asking, though? Asking out loud? Lindsey still found it a little embarrassing.
It was strange, since she had quite gotten used to be naked.
Words were different, though. Words were baring your soul.
Maybe she shouldn’t say anything. Maybe she should stay silent and Kade would figure out what she wanted. Lindsey licked her lips and rubbed her thighs, slowly caressing her body.
Kade bit her.
Hard.
“Ouch!” Cried Lindsey, rubbing the spot on her shoulder. “That hurt!”
He bit her again.
“Ouch! Stop it!” She hit Kade in protest.
He growled, and she remembered.
“Master,” she said, “I’m sorry.”
It was too late.
Before she knew what was happening, Kade flipped her over his knees and began wailing on her bottom. Hard slaps came one after another, punishing her bare backside until she knew it would be bruised and sore for days.
The tears came as Lindsey cried out how sorry she was. Kade didn’t stop. He rained down spank after spank, reminding her of her place. Lindsey knew exactly what he was doing and why. He had asked her a simple question, after all. He just wanted to know what she was asking him for, but she couldn’t do it.
She couldn’t tell him what she needed, what she wanted.
Kade wanted to be a good owner for Lindsey. She knew that. It was obvious in everything he did, from the way he prepared her food to the way he pet her when they were just sitting together. She suspected that he prided himself on being a humane slave keeper, if that were even possible.
But Lindsey hadn’t given Kade the chance to meet her needs.
She had let her pride win and now she was paying the price.
The tears continued to flow and her delicate cries turned into deep, heaving sobs. Her nose was dripping and she was drooling all over Kade’s pants, but he didn’t seem to notice. The spanking was going to go on forever, Lindsey realized, and she might as well stop fighting it.
She relaxed her body into his, realizing that he was doing this for her own good. It was part of her training. A good submissive, even a paid one, had to be able to tell her owner what she wanted and needed. He couldn’t read minds even though he could read her scents.
As soon as Lindsey let go, the spanking stopped.
Kade’s harsh touch turned into soothing rubs as he smoothed his hand over her body.
“There,” he whispered. “What was that thought, pet? The one that made you give in?”
She bit her lip. Could she do this? He stopped rubbing.
“I should hate to think you didn’t learn your lesson, Lindsey. Trust me when I say I went lightly on you.”
“I was thinking that you punished me because you care,” she blurted out. Her cheeks reddened as embarrassment rolled over her body. Had she really just admitted that to Kade? Shit. Lindsey had never been an open person. Ever. Her parents weren’t into honesty like that. They had encouraged her to bottle her feelings up, which was part of the reason she wanted to be a therapist.
She wanted to help people who had upbringings similar to hers.
She wanted to help people communicate when the words just wouldn’t come.
“That’s an interesting thought, little one,” Kade murmured. His hand resumed its rubbing and she relaxed a little more.
“I’m sorry I displeased you, Master,” Lindsey said.
“How did you displease me, Lindsey?”
“You asked me a question and I didn’t answer.”
“And why is that?”
“I was embarrassed.”
Kade stopped rubbing her body and lifted her so she was once again sitting on his lap. He turned Lindsey to face him. She was straddling him.
“When you are here, you will never hide from me. You will give me everything I want, Lindsey. I don’t give a damn about you being embarrassed. I am your Master and you will submit to me.”
She nodded.
He raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, Master,” she said.
“Yes, Master, indeed,” he mumbled, but he wrapped his arms around her just the same.
Melissa came to visit the next week and she knew immediately that something had changed between Kade and Lindsey. She hurried over to Lindsey and opened the cage, allowing the human girl to climb out and stretch her legs and body.
“Dish,” she said, but Lindsey just shook her head. Kade had already instructed her not to discuss their relationship with anyone else. That included Melissa. Lindsey knew she could trust Melissa and considered her to be a friend, but she valued Kade far too much to betray him by confiding in Melissa.
Even if it would be really fun.
“There’s nothing to tell,” Lindsey blushed. Melissa just shook her head and led the girl downstairs. Like the week before, they shared several drinks together before enjoying one another more intimately.
After, they returned to the kitchen to eat again.
> “At some point, I’m going to have to get some cleaning done,” Melissa commented. “Much as I love getting my fill of you, scrubbing things is what the big guy pays me for.” She pulled out a platter of fresh veggies and placed it on the table where the girls could both eat their fill.
Lindsey found that the frequent sex and orgasms did nothing but fuel her appetite, and she was grateful for the amount of healthy food Kade kept in the kitchen.
Melissa pushed Lindsey a few times to talk more about Kade, but when she finally realized Lindsey wasn’t going to talk about it, she let the conversation move on.
Instead of talking about Lindsey’s sex life, they chatted about Melissa’s life and her home on Dragon Isle, how she liked the few humans who lived there, and about the handsome dragon she’d been sleeping with.
“He’s incredible,” Melissa said with a blush. Lindsey wondered if she was in love, but sometimes it wasn’t easy to tell. Sometimes lust was pretty good at disguising itself as love. The trick was being able to figure out the difference.
She still wasn’t sure that she herself could.
She had thought, once upon a time, that she was in love with Heath. And now? Now the only thing she ever thought about was Kade’s cock. She wasn’t under the impression it was love, but it was much more powerful than anything she’d felt with Heath.
“Tell me about him,” Lindsey asked Melissa. She wanted to hear more about this dragon that had Melissa so up in arms. She reached for an apple and bit in, feeling the juices rush through her mouth and down her chin. The thought reminded her of blowing Kade the night before, how she’d made him come all over her face and lips, how a little bit of his juices had flowed down to her breasts.
“You would love him,” Melissa said. She seemed certain of it, though Lindsey wondered what made Melissa think that. Though they had been intimate together and shared food and drink, they did not know many personal details about one another. Melissa had no idea about Lindsey’s life prior to arriving on Dragon Isle. She knew nothing about the stress that pushed her to accept a position as Kade’s human slave.
