"Why is Anna referring to you as her new master?"

Master.

My spine tingled. Fuck. Hearing that word did something to me. It woke something in me. Something powerful. Primal. A fucking beast.

She also broke a rule. "She called me her master?"

"Yeah. But she said you don't like it when she calls you Master."

Good girl.

I shifted in my seat, trying to get rid of the needy ache in my groin. "Is there a point to this conversation, Vanessa?"

"Oh, there's a point. And the point is that you're not telling me everything I need to know."

I scoffed. "Everything you need to know?"

"Yes. I'm a member of this family too."

"That, you are. But if I remember correctly, there was a time when you didn't want anything to do with this family."

The skin on her neck flushed, all the way up to her cheeks. It happened whenever she got embarrassed or angry. My little sister was a flusher.
