Chapter 187
I expected some roughness from Evan, but there was none. He stroked my cheeks and kissed my lips as he made slow sweet love to me. It surprised me, Evan was typically hard and fast, all rough and tumble.
Today he had no use for such actions. All he wanted was to hear me say I loved him.
Before I was carried to the bathroom by Kein, both Christof and Bane wanted to hear me say their names. They also wanted to hear ‘I love you’. After I was done, Kein whisked me off to the room for bathing.
There weren’t showers here, but a large sunken tub that could accommodate all five men. The water came to us through a series of pipes that must have run over a heating element somewhere, because it was warm.
My body was tender. I felt worse after this round of sex than I ever had before. There were bruises forming everywhere it seemed.
I let myself enjoy the water and felt it take some of the soreness out of my body. Master Kein had completely Lost that aggressive tendency and cleaned me softly. Both eyes slipped closed as he ran his hands over my skin. I felt utterly relaxed.
Once I was clean, dry, and treated with the cream, we went back to the main room. The men started to take things out of the bags they brought.
I was Laid on a chaise to watch them as they prepared our meal.
My eyes followed every movement, drinking them in. They turned intermittently and seemed pleased when they caught me watching them. I had almost forgotten how much these men liked the attention of their slaves.
They produced a meal that we ate together at the table. I was surprised the nutrient drink was there. Part of me was tempted to say something, but I didn’t.
In all honesty, I wasn’t suffering from my lack of the drink. If these men fussed at the men that kept me, it could be very bad for me. My Keepers had a great deal of power in this relationship. I took the drink, but stayed silent about its usual absence.

As we ate, the strain that had been gnawing at them seemed to have released somewhat. They relaxed a Little and talked about people from the compound I lived at.
I wasn’t much help, because the other Warriors didn’t talk to me. My men seemed to miss their friends. They complained the men they played chuke with now were not as competitive and the games weren’t as good.
The women in the mountains care for our every need,“ Evan complained.
“The men are too soft. Even during a chuke contest they barely put in any effort at all. They just don’t have any competitive spirit.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
When the discussion turned back to the place they Lived now, the worn looks returned. The more they spoke of their lives now, the more unhappy they became. I wanted to shake them out of it.
“Could we go for a walk, Masters?” I asked spontaneously once the meal was done.
“That doesn’t make any sense, Ciara,” Christof said. “Where are we going to walk to? This is an isolated outpost, there is nothing near here.”
“Not to go somewhere, we could just go outside and walk in a big circle and look around, Masters,” I answered gesturing to the door.
“Why would we do that?” Bane asked.
“I’m curious to see outside, Masters,” I said watching the obvious confusion on their faces. At least now they didn’t look upset.
It took a while, but they finally said we could go outside and ‘walk’, although they still didn’t understand the concept of just walking around. I was dressed up in my brown outfit, without the hood, to go outside.
“Master Christof used to take me for walks all the time at lunch,” I reminded them as we walked outside.
