"Hm?" he said softly while rubbing his face on her palms.
She stared at him. He looked fine now, so she took in a deep breath and parted her lips to say what she wanted. However, she felt like it was inappropriate at the moment.
She continued caressing his face instead, but the more she looked at his tamed expression, the more her desire grew.
"Zach, the deal…"
"What about the deal?"
"Call me master."
Zach's brows furrowed. Then he remembered the deal his shadow proposed, and the first time he played as her manservant.
"Is that the sign you talked about before?"
"Yes, when I say that, obey my every word and act the part."
Zach took a deep breath and released it to prepare himself for the role.
"Master," he said breathily. His deep voice was gentler than usual as he mixed in vulnerability in his voice and tried to be more submissive.
