Chapter 99
“No, I held my breath. My owners know I can hold my breath a long time.”
“Tell it to stretch out and help us examine the body, Rose,” the man commanded.
I waited for Rose to repeat the command to me and I did as she asked.
Rose’s owners didn’t touch me but they examined me thoroughly.
“It should be okay if it didn’t breath the water. It doesn’t sound Like a human that breathed water or was injured. You could wait and see if Damien wants to call a healer for it.”
They thanked the man and I thanked Rose by kissing her cheek.
Fuji’ts owners had to discuss the kiss, of course. Fuji wasn’t from a planet that kissed.
The men led me to their suites. They all put the Linen wraps on their waists, but Fuji and I stayed nude. They asked me to play the little drums, which I did. Fuji danced for them and they seemed to really enjoy watching her. To my relief they didn’t throw her on the bed. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
A knock at the door interrupted us.
Master Damien and his brothers filed in, they were all dressed, so I assumed they had been home. They thanked Fuji‘s owners politely and then looked at me.
“What are you doing?” Master Damien asked coming to stand in front of me.
“I play the drums while Fuji dances, Master Damien,” I answered him.

“Did you tell your owners you can dance while I play?” Fuji asked me.
She knew I hadn’t, I was still shy about dancing with the other girls.
Fujits owners chastised her for speaking in a way that could be construed as speaking to Master Damien. She looked appropriately contrite. Master Damien raised his brow and looked at me questioningly.
“Tomorrow night,” Master Evan offered, “we should have our evening meal as a group.”
Fuji bounced up and down and told her owners she needed a stringed instrument. I really hated her right then. There was no way to get out of this now.
We walked back to our suites quietly. Several groups of men stopped to talk to my owners about Andre and his brothers. Listening to them I learned Master Damien had dragged Andre before the General. My owners didn’t know what the General planned to do.
“There was talk of a transfer,” Master Damien shrugged. “They are to be kept in a separate Lodging until the decision is made.”
That did not surprise me. Andre didn’t fit in here and he made trouble.
Much like Fuji’s owners the women would probably move them.
Once we were home the men all stripped down. I was placed in the bed between Master Kein and Master Bane. I just managed to thank them for not letting Andre touch me before they fell asleep.
I stared at the out the window for a long while just thinking. The main moon here had rings around it. I watched it making a lazy perusal of the sky. I was curious about Andre, worried about their bond, and more worried about dancing for them. They were my owners, not my lovers, but I desperately wanted to please them.
