Evan sat on the edge of the tub behindtrying to clean and detangle my hair. By the feel of it, some of the knots were never going to cout.

“You will never be cut. I will not cause you pain that way
It was my turn to be confused. “It doesn’t hurt to cut my hair. Pulling at the knots hurts my scalp, but cutting doesn’t. I can’t feel my hair at all.”

My hair was cut short in the back and left Longer on the sides. If I was on Earth it would have been a very modern cut.
“No pain, Evan, thank you,” I whispered.
Evan kissed my shoulder and up my neck before they continued my bath.
Nothing was left undone. The men even cleaned under my nails and trimmed them. I had forgotten how absolute they were about everything they did.
The men were all quiet and so was I. The warm water was soothing and it was nice to be with them again. It was just enjoyable and relaxing.
“Seems a lot of bother,” a strange voice said from the door and I ‘looked up.

“You forget the rules, slave,” Damien said with authority. “Only look at your Masters, do you understand me?”
