Mistress promises slave her love and protection, and her sexual domination which shall not include unearned physical punishment or unjustified restraint of his sexual performance but shall include any actions which bring pleasure to herself or slave.
May our renewed vows add strength to the home we have built together. May it always be a home full of love, and may we continue celebrating the passage of time and life with joy. Because our love has grown in wisdom through sickness and health, may we always give thanks for our blessings and the pleasure of our shared lifestyle.
When Keisha looked up at Matt, she felt tears streaming down her cheeks. His smile confirmed the love she’d seen in every line of the document he’d once told her he’d borrowed in part from traditional marriage contracts that were part of Jewish wedding ceremonies.
She’d felt his love before, in his submission and in the dominance he’d been forced to assume when he’d thought he might lose her. She’d felt it in his concern that he might hurt her when he took sexual control, and in his gentle care for her when she was ill. She felt it now more than ever, in the simple promise she’d never expected that he’d include.
Slave vows to take every possible step to enable his Mistress to bear his child.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. It may not work, you know, and if it does I’ll be a basket case before it happens, but I know you’ll be there telling me it will be okay. That I won’t end up being an abuser like my dad.”
“You won’t. Since your recollaring’s set for,” she glanced at the contract, “April sixth, what say we head on to Rebels’ Roost since that’s today.”
Matt laughed. “I thought you’d never ask.”
Epilogue
Her breath caught in her throat as she stood before Tawny and Jack, Coach Zanardi and Susan, and Sid and Talia. Close friends who’d come to see them renew their commitment to the lifestyle they shared.
This time she’d left off the bodysuits that had been her costumes in the dungeon ever since she’d decided to play as a Domme. Her nakedness no longer bothered her because her beloved slave thought her beautiful. She was still a big, statuesque woman—his gorgeous Amazon he called her—but she no longer shrank from curious eyes when she played here with her lover, her Master and now her slave. Because he saw her as desirable, she felt that way and stood proudly for all to see.
Her cunt clenched with anticipation when she saw him in the spotlight, beautifully naked head to toe as he’d promised he’d be. His olive skin glowed as if he’d oiled it, tempting her to touch and caress every square inch of the baby-smooth skin that covered all his buff, massive muscles. “Come to me.” The gold barbell in his ampallang piercing sparkled and drew her gaze to his massive erection.
As he’d done before, he knelt before her, holding out the leash he’d never put on her during the time they’d switched places. He bent his head, lifted one of her bare feet to his lips and drew each toe into his mouth. It felt good—even better this time than it had before.
“Do you want to be my slave, to love, honor and obey me in all things?”
He lifted his head and met her gaze, a look of eagerness in his expressive, brown eyes. “I want that above all else, Mistress.”
She returned his smile. He was so much more comfortable in his submissive skin now. “Why?”
“Because I’m a sexual submissive. I want all our friends here to know I’m your loving, obedient slave, that you control my mind and my cock.” He couldn’t have said the words six years ago, but now they seemed to flow easily from his lips.
No longer needing to show the witnesses how she had assumed control of his body, she dispensed with the humiliation that she’d insisted upon six years ago. “I accept your submission,” she said, stroking the crown of his freshly shaved head. “This is my collar, to wear whenever we play.”
When he leaned toward her she fastened the collar that had been unused for over a year around his thick, corded neck. Instead of inserting the lock in its hasp she set it aside. Their relationship no longer required her to make a show of force—or coercion. “I love you, more than I ever thought I could love anybody.”
“And I love you, Mistress. You’ve given me happiness I never thought I deserved.” He handed her the leash and helped her snap it onto the hasp of his unlocked collar.
Him being at her feet seemed ludicrous, so she drew him up to his full height and rested her hands on his broad shoulders. “I want you to fuck me, my precious slave, in front of all our friends. Just looking at you has my cunt wet and ready, and I can tell you’re ready, too.” She reached down with one hand and encircled his enthusiastic erection.
He lifted her in his arms and took her to the fucking table set up on the center stage. “It will be my pleasure, Mistress mine.”
When he stood at the end of the table and sank into her hot, wet cunt, she realized what her heart had been telling her for years, in many subtle ways. As much as he was her sex slave, she was his—his Mistress and his slave.
The End
About the Author
Ann Jacobs is a sucker for lusty Alpha heroes and happy endings, which makes Ellora’s Cave an ideal publisher for her work. Romantica®, to her, is the perfect combination of sex, sensuality, deep emotional involvement and lifelong commitment—the elusive fantasy women often dream about but seldom achieve.
First published in 1996, Jacobs has sold over forty books and novellas, some of which have earned awards including the Passionate Plume (best novella, 2006), the Desert Rose (best hot and spicy romance, 2004) and More Than Magic (best erotic romance, 2004). She has been a double finalist in separate categories of the EPPIES and From the Heart RWA Chapter’s contest. Three of her books have been translated and sold in several European countries.
A CPA and former hospital financial manager, Jacobs now writes full-time, with the help of Mr. Blue, the family cat who sometimes likes to perch on the back of her desk chair and lend his sage advice. He sometimes even contributes a few random letters when he decides he wants to try out the keyboard. She loves to hear from readers, and to put faces with names at signings and conventions.
