Chapter 368
It felt strange making skin to skin contact with another naked woman while the men watched. I prayed the men here didn’t have the fantasies men on Earth had. By the Look on Damien’s face this was not erotic, but concerning. That made me feel better.
“We have calming creams in our rooms,” Evan said quietly to Basin.
“As do we,” Basin said.
“After this slave disappeared ours was incensolable. Our sweet Rose was devastated. It was as if a bond was broken. We were not sure how to explain that its friend had been found…We did not know you would return this eve…”
The men were at a loss. “Rose,” I whispered softly, “you must stop this. AlL is well, I promise.”
“The bab-” she started to say and I cut her off with a finger over her lips.
“Strong and free,” I told her in English.
“Ciara,” Damien warned, “speak the Language we gave you.”

He didn’t look angry. Damien just continued to Look confused and concerned.
“I missed you so badly,” Rose sobbed against my neck. “I was so worried about you and the…I was so worried.

I pulled away and looked at her. Rose looked awful. She had circles under her eyes and her face was drawn and tired.
“We are just slaves, Ciara,” she said quietly
“Yes,” I answered her, “slaves that are fed and cared for meticulously. Slaves that are promised protection and actually given it. Stop acting this way, it serves no purpose.”
Rose blinked and looked at me. I heard the men move away from us and looked to see them in a tight grouping outside the alcove talking. Looking back at Rose she was finally smiling.
