Nikolai

I knew at that moment, she would do anything I say, no questions asked, with no hesitation at all. Just like in the beginning when I had bought her.

The difference was that she would now do this out of love and not out of fear. And that made all the difference in the world to me.

It made me feel powerful. It gave me a sense of responsibility. It turned me on in a way I hadn't been turned on before.

I love her so much.

"Stand up," I ordered softly.

She stood up gracefully, her eyes still downcast.

"Strip," I ordered.

In a second, her dress fell off her. Without hesitation and without fear of anyone walking in. I knew Dimitri was not going to come out for a very long time. No one else was in the quarters and the door was locked. But Ava didn't know that. The fact that she still followed my orders turned me on.

Next was her bra and panties. She was about to toss her panties away but I snatched them from her hand and put them in my pocket.

I stood up, our bodies touching.
