“Okay?” he asked and I hiccupped and nodded. “Yeah” I whispered. We lay silent for a while, both lost in our own heads. “Ava?” Mason asked quietly. “Mmmm” I murmured as I relaxed into the warmth of the bath and the comfort of Mason’s solid chest. “You… you shouted something before I woke you up” he said. I could sense his nerves and I frowned, “What?” I heard him sigh and then swallow loudly “You shouted something like ‘you are my master and I must behave’.” I stiffened and he stroked his heel up and down my calf as his fingers entwined with mine. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have mentioned it” he said as he kissed my cheek. I paused then took a deep breath. “He made me say it to him whenever he took me down from the hook and chain” I said uneasily. He was quiet for a while but I felt him brace himself. “What was the hook and chain?” he asked fearfully and I sighed. He wanted to know but could he handle the knowledge? Only one way to find out and I was suddenly ready to tell him, to let him in.
