"Shh," I tell her.
She tries not to stir.
In her sleep she's stretching, indolent.
Murmurring.
Twisting, she turns.

I am folded in the arms of plunder.
A wonder; a girl.

"Shh," I tell her.
I touch her, my whim.
She arches her back. Thighs tense.
Redolent.
She swims.

In her sleep she's drowning.
I'm holding her down.

"We are not making love," I inform her.
She moans.
Her head tosses left to right
Her mouth bites
She groans.

I am folded in the arms of plunder.
A wonder; a girl.

"I love you, my Master," she confesses.
I know.
"I do not give you a choice. You do as you're told."
When her tears fall I taste them, then she is tied down.
"I love you, my Master"
"Quiet," I tell her.
And she settles down.
