Brutin sat back in his chair and regarded the girl standing before him. She was short and her long white hair had not changed since he had last seen her. He glanced over her body, she had kept physically fit just as he expected but her time away from him did nothing to improve her personality.

She was infuriating with her whimsy of freedom and that constant giggling as if she were fifteen years old. He could remember the last time she had gotten herself into trouble, she had almost died but she did manage to get herself captured and abused. Brutin had been forced to send Gunstar after her and he not only rescued her but Brutin in turn had given her to him for a night as punishment. Gun had killed four people.

She had been so well behaved after that and Brutin smiled remembering the fear in her eyes from that time forward. All the way up until that point where he sold her off.

Gun was not here and he did not currently employee a sadist. Chances were bringing her back was going to be a mistake. She was going to cause trouble as she always had but it was due to her pranks and games that he had discovered Nok, Gun and Kain Locke.

She was a boon just as much as she was a curse, and now she was back.

He got up from his chair and moved around the desk. She stood there watching him with her hands behind her back, standing timidly but standing none the less.

"I am sure you remember the rules of this house, you were First Girl at one point were you not?" He asked her and stopped in front of her.

"Yeah." She said and snapped her gum, that disgusting habit she had.

He back handed her and noted with satisfaction as she fell down that she cried out in both surprise and pain.

She should have seen that coming, perhaps she was looking forward to it?

::i hit the floor and yelped in surprise, trying to cut it off a little ashamed of myself. i forgot how fast he was and my cheek felt hot. i was not going to cry in front of him. i had done that alot way back when and i wasn't gonna do it now, not ever::

::i looked up at him through my hair cuz it would hide some of my defiance, yeah i was back and i was back with him but i didn't have any choice, i had been gone a while and i knew my limits. sides, it would be fun pushing his buttons again::

"You will obey me." ::he said casually like hitting me meant nothing to him, he was watching me but i couldn't help myself anymore, i put my hand on my cheek and rubbed it. i didn't cry though::

"and if i don't?" ::i challenged him and without warning he kicked me. he wasn't gentle either and I squirmed away from him to get some distance, that surprised me all right, he had never done that before. he had gotten colder since i last met him, he had changed lots.::

::he didn't say anythin to me, he jus kicked me again and I cried out in pain. what had happened to him to make him so mad? he looked down at me and waited for me to give in and we both knew that i would at eventually but i wasn't gonna make it easier on him::

"Acknowledge." ::he commanded and i thought about testing him some more but i got worried. this wasn't the fun part i remembered. he scared me::

"yes Master." ::i said lightly, almost too quietly to see how he would react. hey, he knew i was gonna test him every chance i had, he might have changed but i didn't. and i hadn't seen any of his flunkies around anywhere, i was free!::

"Very Well." ::he said and turned back to his desk and i rubbed my side and knelt like a good girl. at least while he was looking::

Brutin sat back in his chair and smiled as Nadine padded barefoot into his office. She was still wearing her denim jeans and button up shirt. "Greetings I hope you slept well?" He inquired, wondering if she fell back on her outrageous behavior after he left.

"Morning Master." she said lightly and glanced around the office and he allowed her this little bit. "This used to be Vizier's office." She said and walked to the bay window so close to his desk now. "Except this." she said and glanced outside, gasping in surprise before looking at him, his repressed smile leaking through.

"I took over it after a protracted duel for ownership of the SA." he said and she grinned at him. It was hard to keep secrets from slaves. "In any case, he perished shortly thereafter." Brutin added and she eyed him in surprise. She had been there for the war and watched as members of the fledgling SA die off one by one.

It had been a war she had created.

"You wanted to see me?" She asked and Brutin sighed, she was going to milk this for all it was worth, such a strange and precious girl.

Grinning he nodded. "I wanted to see you after that little debacle last night in the tavern. You caused quite a stir, just as I knew you would. Tell me, how did you enjoy your debut?"

He steepled his fingers and sat back in his chair with a knowing grin.

::i didn't know if i should be mad at him, he had set me up. i pouted at him to see if he was mad at me instead:: "you aren't a nice person." ::i said and walked over to his desk, sitting on it casually. i picked at the things on his desk cuz i knew that would bother him:: "why did you do that? you asked me to meet you there, you didn't say anything about me going there as kajira." ::he chuckled and i felt that shiver, he was still playing me::

"perhaps i wanted to see how you would react? but that is not what i was asking." ::he said with thoses stupid fingers of his, watching my every move. i wanted to tick him off so he wouldn't look at me like that anymore, i didn't like him studying me::

"did i embarrass you last night?" ::i asked him, that would stir him up, he hated that and that meant he would clamp down on me, i wondered after all of these years if he had gotten weak::

"no." ::he said simply and i shrugged, not letting him know i felt opposite. he had been embarrassed, he hated that open flirting with danger, he had to be::

"i think you were." ::i said and smiled as he took a piece of paper out of my hands and set it back down on the desktop. i had gotten my first reaction from him and suddenly i noticed him next to me. i could feel him like he was on fire, i could feel the warmth three feet away::

"i will not repeat myself." ::he said and i looked at him, his annoyed tone putting a smile on my face. i could keep pushing him and he would get upset enough to break down and then when his anger washed over me, then i could sigh and feel him hold me close, feel his remorse and his self loathing. he was so strong and he held himself so tight that when he finally let himself go he burst like a dam....damn::

"are you mad at me?" i asked coyly, he always softened to me, i had seen him do it last night for Tara. he shook his head with a slight indulgence and i beamed a smile at him, i had him wrapped around my finger already:: "i heard you made that girl Tara your secretary. did you enslave her?" ::i asked casually like it didn't mean much to me but i really wanted to know, i had heard all the stories and there were so many i didn't know::

"people talk." ::he said calmly and studied me and i felt my anger rise, he was baiting me without saying a word. i loved him so much but sometimes i hated him too::

"did she dance for you and serve you brandy and keep you warm at...::i never finished my words cuz he slapped me and i fell back off the desk and hit the floor. i hadn't even seen him move and i couldn't see much through my eyes, when they weren't full of stars they were drowning in tears, but i wasn't gonna cry, not ever again, not to him::

::he waited patiently for me to recover and i knew he was serious, he never did this unless he was paying attention to your reaction so i pulled myself up and got to my feet, i stayed out of his reach:: "that is a forbidden subject." ::he commanded and i wasn't sure i wanted to push that button again::

"do you love her more than me?" ::i don't know why i asked that, i had been gone for so long but i didn't like thinking he loved someone else. i felt my heart catch and my breathing come fast when he nodded at me. he didn't love me anymore?::

"perhaps." he finally answered me and i looked up at him, he had been thinking of something. i suddenly hated him again.

"why did you bring me back here!" ::i yelled at him in a fit of rage, his eyes clear blue and i stepped forward to slap him, i wanted to wipe that smirk he always had off his face but he caught my hand and held it, squeezing it until i cried out in pain:: "you said i was supposed to instruct some guy, a gift to him and a favor to you!" ::i was fighting back tears now, he was gonna make me cry and i hoped he squeezed my wrist harder so that i would forget why i wanted to cry.

"i did, and he finally appeared, but your antics kept me from speaking to Tara about giving you to him. i wanted her opinion." ::he said calmly, it was like he wasn't holding me, just sitting there regarding me while i struggled to get my arm free. his damn gorean strength held me tight and i finally went limp, safe::

"i don't belong to you anymore!" ::i shouted at him and he slapped me again. i felt my face burn:: "you don't own me, you sold me off! you gave me away to a madman!" ::i spat at him, hatred for what he did to me overcoming me and he slapped me again. i wasn't gonna cry for him:: "why?" ::there, i saw that look, it was Minipaws all over again, i knew his secrets too.

"you tortured him, he hated you calling him Blacky, he hated babysitting you." ::he said calmly like i meant nothing to him. i hated him but i couldn't pull free from his grasp::

"do you know what he did to me?" ::i yelled at him and wanted to kick him so badly. i felt myself sob and held myself in check, i wasn't gonna cry, not for him or Blacky. i didn't want him to hold me anymore, i felt cold so i went limp in his grasp and stopped fighting him and i turned my head away in case i broke my promise::

"you loved him." ::he said simply and i huffed at him.

"i didn't love that. i don't know what that was but it wasn't Blacky. you gave me to him knowing he was going to try to break me. if you wanted to break me why didn't you do it yourself?" ::i knew he wasn't gonna tell me, i knew he was gonna hide himself behind that damn smile. i wanted to slap that smile off his face so badly::
