Melissa jerked back the moment she saw Mike. He stormed into her room, his eyes wide with rage at the sight of his naked sister and his entranced girlfriend kneeling in front of Jake. Before Melissa could react, he had punched Jake from behind, right in the face. Jake fell sideways to the floor and lay there for a moment before realizing what just happened. When he saw Mike, he held his hands up to protect himself, but Mike was already above him, punching him again.

“You sick bastard! What have you done to them?!”

Finally, Melissa snapped out of it and got up. She instantly leaped forward, trying to pull Mike away from the man she loved, but Mike didn’t seem to notice her. Alice just sat there with her blank stare, watching the wall as Mike kicked Jake in the stomach while Melissa, completely naked, yelled, “Calm down, Mike! You’re hurting him!!”

She grew desperate. It felt like a part of her was dying as Mike threw another blow at Jake’s face. His nose started bleeding. Melissa had no idea how to stop Mike in his rage. He was too strong. Then it hit her like an epiphany. Her panic subsided, not that she knew what to do. She quickly grabbed the pack from her bed and pulled out one of those cigarettes. Melissa had a short phase of smoking when she was a teenager (she wanted to impress a boy), but it's been a while since then. She lit up the ‘Ambrosia’, hoping she wouldn't cough or mess this up.

“Please, please stop," Jake begged, "Please!” His face was a mess, full of tears and blood.

Melissa blew the smoke from behind Mike's direction. “Let him go, Mike!” She spoke loudly and clearly, knowing this drug works fast. Mike didn’t let him go, but at least he stopped punching. Melissa quickly used the cigarette again and blew the smoke at her twin brother. The cigarette didn’t taste sweet at all, like it dies when you inhale the smoke. That was very surprising for her. It was actually a bit bitter, but it seemed to work anyway. She remembered well how Jake used them.

“Relax, Mike. Just inhale and relax. Let him go.”

Mike finally turned around, his hands still holding Jake. “W-What is that?” He seemed to notice her for the first time since entering the room. 

“D-Don’t worry about that. Just breathe deeply and relax.” Mike didn’t look relaxed at all, but his breathing certainly got deeper as she blew another whiff towards him.

“Is this… a drug?”

“This will help you relax and listen. You really want that now, don’t you? You really need to relax and listen and obey.”

Mike slowly let go of Jake and stood up. He took a step towards Melissa, reaching for the cigarette, but it was like he was moving in slow-motion. She stepped back and took another drag. “Stay where you are.”

“Melissa… No… You have to snap out of this. This isn't you. You are my sister! Remember?” he begged, but Melissa just continued smoking

“Don’t fight it. Just listen and obey. You can’t resist. My voice is all there is now. All you need to hear. All you need to obey. You can trust me. You know that, right?”

Mike slowly nodded, his eyes still awake as ever. “Yes, I… Of course, I trust you, Melissa.”

Melissa was relieved that it was finally working. “That's very good. Just do as I say and don’t worry about anything else, okay?”

“Okay.”

She had his full attention now.

“Sit on the floor next to Alice.”

Mike promptly sat down next to his mesmerized girlfriend. Finally, Melissa could kneel to look after Jake. He didn’t move, and his stare was wide and empty. Melissa's body froze as she realized that the love of her life, her owner, her Master, her everything, was dead.

“No!” She dropped the cigarette and grabbed his face. “Please, don’t leave me!” She never felt so hopeless, just when she saw him blink. “W-Wha… Jake? Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

Jake's voice rang empty and hollow. A wave of relief washed over her. He was okay, just affected by the drug!

“Oh my god, my love, everything is going to be okay. Can you sit up?” She quickly grabbed the cigarette from the floor before it left a mark. Then, the naked brunette put the Ambrosia in the ashtray and cleaned Jake's face with some tissues. His eye was bruised, and his nose was bleeding, but aside from that, he seemed to be okay. “Don’t worry, my love. Everything is going to be fine. I will take good care of you.”

“Everything is going to be fine. You will take good care of me.”

Melissa realized that he was completely under her influence. What should she do? Should she do anything? Would he be angry with her? She looked at Mike and Alice, both staring at the wall. “Master, I want to punish Mike for what he did to you. Is that okay?” Jake nodded slowly. “Yes, please.”

Melissa noted that, while still entranced, he was able to speak his mind. That was good. She grabbed her bathrobe and put it on. Then she commanded Mike and Alice to sit on the bed. They mindlessly obeyed. Then she sat herself down next to Mike. She took the cigarette again and lit it up to blow the smoke in Mike's and Alice’s direction.

“What I am going to say next applies only to Mike.”

To make sure that neither Alice nor Jake would be influenced by this, she leaned over and whispered in his ear. “You son of a bitch. You just ruined your own life. Sure, she would have left you for Jake eventually, but you would be able to move on at some point. But what you did just now is unforgivable. I have to punish you for that. No. I really want to punish you for that! Now listen carefully: Look at Alice.”

Her brother turned his head to Alice, who still just sat there, staring at the wall with a stupid smile on her face. Melissa stayed close to his ear and continued to whisper, “She is so gorgeous and beautiful. Just looking at her fills your whole body with love and desire. Hearing her voice gets you hard, and whenever she touches you, you will instantly come and ejaculate on the spot, unable to control yourself. There could never be another woman for you. You love her more than anything. You adore her. You worship her. You want to dedicate your whole life to making her happy. You are eager to provide for her, and you will buy her anything she wants. No matter how she treats you or whatever she does, you adore her. Do you understand?” Mike nodded, staring at Alice like she was a divine apparition.

“She’s perfect,” he whispered in disbelief.

“Yes, she is,” Melissa lied and added, “But here's the catch: You can never have her again. She belongs to Jake now. Jake is our Master, you know?”

“W-what?”

Melissa used the cigarette for two more blows before she continued, “Jake is the perfect man. He is better than you in any conceivable way. That’s why he is our Master. He makes all the rules and decisions, and he can do whatever he wants and fuck whoever he wants. That obviously includes Alice, me, and Mum. There is nothing you can do about it. You wouldn’t dare to try. You can never ever do anything that could be against his will or do him harm. It is just a fact you have to accept. Do you understand?”

“Yes…” Mike sounded sad but resigned. Good.

“And because of what you just did, you will be forever in his debt. You will spend the rest of your life making up for this. You will do whatever he wants you to do. And you deserve to be punished. Anything he declares as your punishment, you will accept. Is that clear?” 

“Yes, Melissa.”

“Very good." Melissa nodded, "Now sit down on the wall and watch what happens next. I promise, you will have very mixed feelings about it, but you'd better get used to them.”

Mike slumped down on the wall across the bed, and the first thing he saw was Alice, smiling back at him. He could not help but smile as a wave of love rushed through him. All the anger he felt a few minutes ago was completely gone. He just had to see her perfect appearance, and he was in heaven. Her blonde hair, the perfectly symmetric face, her sensual lips, her body, there was not a single flaw. But his love was not just for her looks. She was his goddess. He also knew Melissa made him feel like this. It was similar to how he felt about Alice before, but magnified to the absolute extreme. He knew he was in deep shit, but just looking at Alice made him forget all his worries and the strange numbness that consumed his body and mind.

He watched as Melissa talked to Alice. “Look at Mike.” Mike's heart skipped a beat as his love looked at him. Melissa continued, “Remember what Jake said to you earlier about him. You don’t have any romantic feelings for Mike anymore. You don’t love him. You don’t even care about him. He is the biggest mistake you ever made. Without him, you wouldn't have cheated on Jake. You feel disgusted now by the memory of sleeping with Mike. But you know he adores and worships you. You know he loves you more than anything. And you love using that to your advantage. You want to make him pay for what he put you through. You have fun teasing him and making him jealous. You gladly take his money to buy naughty outfits to wear for Jake and me. You love to toy with his emotions and make him suffer. Do you agree, Alice?”

Mike looked at her and felt distressed, but was unable to react. Alice looked completely unfazed.

“Yes.”

Mike’s heart broke. Melissa looked at him and smiled. “Oh, and Mike, forget everything I just said to her.”

Mike felt better instantly. Why was he feeling so bad just a second ago? He had no clue.

His sister got up and walked over to Jake. She helped him up and gently led him to the bed, sitting down with him. Mike felt guilty seeing his Master like this. Would he ever forgive him? Mike felt intense remorse for beating him up like that. But that was before… before Melissa drugged him. Right. Before that, everything was different. Mike had no idea that Jake was their Master. Hopefully, he knew that. 

“Jake, my love," Melissa said softly, "are you listening?”

“Yes.”

“I made Mike fall in love with Alice even more. He will be worshipping her, almost as much as I worship you. He will do anything for her, while all she wants is you. He can’t do anything about it, and he will never try to do anything against your will or harm you. You can make him watch as you fuck her. Or me or our mum, for that matter. Do you like this as a punishment?”

“Yes, Melissa. It’s perfect.”

“Now there is something I want to talk to you about, and it’s important for me that you have a choice. If you don’t like it, we won’t do it. Are you going to listen to me?”

“Yes, Melissa.”

“I know you are in a lot of pain because of Alice. It’s horrible to get betrayed like that, especially when you love the person who betrayed you. Usually, after a while, you can move on, but since Alice is yours to do as you please, there can be no moving on. I mean... You treat her like shit, and I get that. She deserves it. I think you currently love her and hate her at the same time, but that is just not healthy. I... I want you to be happy, you know that, right?”

“I know. You are a good girl.”

“Thank you, Master. So, now I am in the rare position to change how you think and feel. I see two options. The first is that I can make you forgive her. That way, you can love her again, and your heart finds rest. But to be honest, I don’t think she deserves your forgiveness. She deserves to be punished, to crave you, and never be able to win you back. That’s why I propose to make you not love her anymore. I could maybe make you… L-love me instead. W-What do you think?

“I… don’t want to feel this pain anymore.”

“Does it mean you want to forgive her or not love her anymore?”

“I… can’t forgive her. She doesn’t deserve it.”

“You don’t have to forgive her. A-And if you loved me, for example, you would not feel the pain anymore! And I will always be loyal to you. I am your obedient slave, and I will always be there for you. You know that, right? I-I mean, if you don’t want any of this, I understand. I just thought it could help.”

“You can. I… I want it. You will always be loyal.”

“Really? I promise I will! A-and if you don’t want to love me anymore, we can always reverse it!”

“We can…”

“Okay. Here we go.”

Mike watched his sister stand up and drop the bathrobe in front of Jake. He just sat there and saw her naked ass. He didn’t want to see it, but Melissa told him to watch. This was painful to see.

“Okay, Jake. Look at me attentively. Very good. You think I look amazing, don’t you?”

“I do. I always did.”

“You have a crush on me. You want to be with me. You feel whole with me. You are falling more and more in love with me now. You can feel it, can’t you? You want me to be your girlfriend. Alice is just good for fucking from time to time. You know that you used to have strong feelings for her, but they are all fading away now. You still enjoy teasing her and fucking her, especially to punish Mike, but you don’t feel pain or hate or love for her. She’s just our shared sex toy, our pet, something optional to have fun with and spice things up. You want me to be the queen of your harem. Your primary girl. You love me. You love everything about me. Don't you?”

“I do… Melissa, I do.”

“Please say it, Master.”

“I… love you, Melissa. I love everything about you.”

Jake felt very peculiar as Melissa reprogrammed him. Like floating on a cloud. And he really liked it. And he really loved her. It felt so good to love her. Loving Alice had made him suffer. He didn’t realize that until now. Melissa had opened his eyes. He was so thankful for her. She was the best thing that ever happened to him. He hasn’t felt this happy in months. Just looking at her filled him with joy. Melissa sat down on his lap.

“You will always be happy, to please your harem girls. You like to make us cum, right? You have perfect control over your orgasms. You can fuck us for hours if you want.”

Jake knew it was true. Melissa was a genius.

Angie studied herself in the big bedroom mirror. She wore an elegant, but also very short, black dress that showed lots of cleavage. She had just applied her makeup and was putting on lipstick when Melissa entered the room. She gave her sexy daughter a warm smile.

"Good morning, Mistress. Is everything alright?" Angie was eager to serve her daughter with whatever she needed.

"Not really." Melissa looked stressed and crossed her arms. "While you were playing dress up here, Mike showed up and beat the crap out of Jake."

"What?!" Angie stood up. "Why?!"

"Because he was in the middle of brainwashing Alice. Anyway, I don't have time to explain everything now. I defused the situation, and everything is back under control."

Angie shook her head. "I wish I'd never given birth to Mike. He is a disgrace."

"I know. I made sure he's never going to do anything like that again. And that he will pay for this."

"That's good. I'm so proud of you. Is there anything I can do?"

"Yes. Get ice or something for Jake's face. His eye is pretty swollen."

Angie moved without another word and hurried to the kitchen. She grabbed a pack of frozen peas and rushed back up to Melissa's room. It was a strange sight. Angie saw Master sitting on the bed, getting sucked off by Alice, but he just stared at the wall and didn’t even seem to notice the blowjob. Mike sat across from them on the floor, leaning against the wall. He stared at them with a sad expression on his face. His eyes were not blank like Jake's, but he seemed to be in a different state for sure. Angie also noticed the boner in his pants.

Melissa suddenly appeared behind her with a bag. Angie made space for her beloved daughter and Mistress. She carried a duffel bag in her hand.

"Alice, stand up and follow me."

Alice stopped sucking Jake's cock, stood up, and turned around. Angie saw the same blank eyes as her Master in the girl. Jake's cock was hard and wet, but otherwise, he seemed lifeless. Melissa turned to Angie, "Soothe Jake and nurse him while I'm gone. I need to prepare myself and Alice for him."

"Are they all in this trance?"

Melissa nodded. "Yes, but only the person who entranced them can manipulate them. They should be able to hear you, though." Melissa bent over to Jake and kissed his forehead. "My mum will take care of you now until I get back, okay?"

"Okay."

Jake spoke in an eerie monotone voice. She kissed him on the cheek and then walked up to her twin brother. She kicked him in the stomach, which made him grunt in pain, but otherwise, he barely reacted.

"Keep watching," Melissa commanded coldly. "Oh!” She looked down. "You're having a boner?! That is hilarious. Well, in that case... Start masturbating to the view in front of you. You can not stop, even after you come, until I tell you to. Do you understand?"

"Yes," Mike replied, and opened his zipper.

Melissa grinned at her mother. "Go on."

Then, she left the room with Alice.

Angie sat down next to Jake. She felt distraught seeing her god in a state like this, and would do anything to make him feel better. 

"Jake, I have something for your eye," she said soothingly. "This will feel cold now, but it will help you, okay?"

"Okay"

Angie gently pressed the bag of peas on his wound. She told him to hold it and was glad that he did. Then she ran to the bathroom to get a wet cloth. With that, she cleaned the blood from Jake's face. She gave her Master a soothing hug and pulled down her dress to free her breasts. She guided Jake's head to rest on them and caressed his head.

"You'll feel much better soon. Would you like to suck on my tits, Master?"

"Yes."

"Go on then. I want you to feel good and safe now. That's good. Hmmm, that feels amazing."

Angie cherished that feeling. She noticed movement and looked up to see her son across the room, masturbating to this view. Angie shook her head in disgust. What a sick and twisted kid he was. She felt guilty for birthing him. She focused her attention back on Jake. 

Alice followed Melissa to the bedroom. She still felt like floating on a cloud, even though she knew a lot was going on. Melissa dropped a duffel bag on the king-size bed and turned around with a winning smile on her face.

"Finally!" Melissa exclaimed and dropped her towel. Alice instantly felt the urge to kneel and lick Melissa's pussy, but something held her back. She couldn't move. “Finally, I won't have to pretend anymore. This is quite the lucky outcome for me, I have to admit. Can you believe it, Alice?? I will be his frickin’ girlfriend! And you will be nothing. He's over you. You're fucking done!" The Italian beauty was giddy with excitement.

"I am fucking done," Alice repeated dimly, unsure what it meant.

"Oh, and I don't even have to pretend to be your friend anymore. You have no idea what a pain in the ass you were to me."

"I... was a pain in the ass?"

"Oh yes. I mean, I also had fun with you, obviously. And I will have even more fun with you in the future, now that Jake is not obsessed with you anymore. I am still very attracted to you, Alice. That will not change, and I don't mind." Alice felt Melissa's hand on her cheek. "Strip for me.”

Alice obeyed. While she undressed, Melissa explained to Alice their relationship going forward.

"From now on, you will address me as ‘Mistress’. That is what I am to you. I am not your friend, I never was, although you deeply wish I were your friend. You crave my approval, and you like me even more than before. I am your queen now, because Jake is your king, and I belong at his side. You will never try to get between us, understood?"

"I understand."

"Good girl. You will be a good pet for Jake and me, won't you?"

"Yes, Mistress."

Melissa pulled something leathery from the bag and gave it to Alice. "Go take a shower and hurry up with it. Then wear this."

Alice hurried to the bathroom.

“W-What just happened?” Alice blinked in confusion and stood in front of the large mirror in Melissa's mum's master bedroom. She was looking at herself, wearing a very slutty leather outfit. She remembered putting it on just now, and suddenly she felt like a mist clearing up, and she was in a state of profound clarity.

“Don’t you remember?” Melissa appeared next to her. Alice looked at her and instantly felt a jolt of adoration and humility. Her queen wore a red dress that oozed sex appeal and majesty. 

"Wait. I think I do... Yes."

It was a lot to deal with. Memories came rushing back, and feelings that had been twisted and turned. Alice felt overwhelmed by all the changes and the knowledge of where those thoughts and feelings originated.

"You... drugged me!" It was a realization and not an accusation.

"And...?"

Alice licked her lips and felt herself blushing. "I... I don't know. It just occurred to me. Is there... anything you need me to do, Mistress?"

Melissa smiled. "Ah, that sounds better." She put a hand on Alice's cheek. Alice felt warm and fuzzy and felt a strong craving to make Melissa happy. Her queen leaned in and gifted Alice with a kiss. "Are you ready to see your Master?"

Alice gasped. "Yes!"

Melissa led Alice back to her room, where Alice saw Jake sitting on Melissa's bed. She saw Angelica kneeling in front of him with her back to Alice, her head bobbing up and down between Jake's legs. Alice was happy for him. He deserved all the sexual pleasure he wanted. Seeing Jake filled Alice with love and desire. He was everything for her. Her love for him was overwhelming. All she wanted to do was serve him and please him. She didn't care if this originated from a drug.

Jake looked up and beamed at her. Alice felt her face getting hot and flustered. Or did he smile at Melissa?

"She sucks dick like a pro. You girls can learn something from her."

Angelica pulled back her head. "Thank you for your praise, my lord. I will gladly teach them my technique."

Jake grinned at Melissa, "I could do this all day now, thanks to you."

"You're welcome, Master," Melissa smiled back. "How would you like to proceed now? Do you feel alright?"

Jake nodded. "Yeah, my head hurts a bit, but I'll be fine, all thanks to you. If this didn't feel so good, I'd be pissed right now. I mean, I'm still tempted to beat the fucker up, but this should make him way more miserable and traumatized than any physical pain, right?"

He nodded toward Mike, who was sitting across the room on the floor, leaning against the wall. Alice didn't even notice him before. His face was red and wet with tears. He seemed to have cried a lot. Mike's hand was wrapped around his soft cock, and his shirt and his hand were stained with his own cum. It looked both gross and pathetic.

“I'm so sorry," he whined. "I-I had no choice. P-Please forgive me!”

Alice remembered that he had been drugged, just like her. The logical standpoint that they were both victims here was not something Alice could even consider. Instead, she realized what a loser he was compared to Jake. How could she ever find him attractive? It seemed impossible to prefer him over Jake in any way. She felt sick at the thought of sleeping with him. He was disgusting. If she could erase her memory of it all, she would do it in a heartbeat. The memory of what Melissa had done to Mike and her earlier became even clearer. How he worshipped Alice now, and that she loved to treat him like shit and use him for his money. It was all true. Even though she knew it was all because of the drug, she would surely relish in making her former lover suffer. He had to pay for what he did to them.

Jake suddenly pointed at Alice and then at the floor next to Angelica, "Kneel."

Alice eagerly fell to her knees, ready to obey her Master. She felt honored already. Angelica kept sucking him off.

"Do you like my cock, Alice?"

"I love it with all my heart, Master. Just like I love you!"

Jake chuckled and shook his head. "Yeah, I figured. Well, sadly for you, I don't love you anymore. You don't deserve my love after everything you did, but you know that, right?"

"Yes, Master. I know." Alice admitted meekly.

Jake lifted her face with his divine hand. "Don't worry, though. You will still be useful to me from time to time."

"Yes, Master. Thank you. Anything you want."

"Go on, watch and learn."

Alice watched exactly how Angelica moved her mouth and her hand as she gave their Master pleasure. Alice saw that Angelica used lots of spit and alternated between licking, massaging, and taking it in. Then, she got to try herself.

Shortly after Melissa and Alice left the room to get ready, Mike felt the mist that clouded his mind evaporate, and he was clear again. He was leaning against the wall in his sister's room, masturbating while watching the Master and his mum kiss. What the... He tried to stop moving his hand, but noticed he couldn't. Then he knew that he wasn't supposed to do anything else but watch. This was his punishment, he remembered now. For beating up the Master. Right. Jake was their Master now. It took a minute to process everything that had happened, but by the end, Mike concluded that there was no way out of this situation, and even if there was, he didn't deserve to get out. He was a loser. A nothing. A disgrace. And he was forced to jerk off to this. He didn't want to, but whatever Melissa did to him still worked its magic until she told him to stop.

"I think he's back as well now," said his mother, looking at her son with disgust. Jake looked at him and said. "Welcome back. Enjoying the view?"

What followed was the most horrible experience in Mike's entire life. He had to watch as his Master plowed his mother doggy-style on his sister's bed. And the worst part was that the stimulation of his hand actually caused him to ejaculate at some point. He felt so miserable and helpless. And even after that, he couldn't stop jerking off! There was already cum all over him. Then, he had to watch his mother giving head while Alice and Melissa came back. Mike knew this could only get worse, even though he was happy to see Alice again. She was an angel, the only light in this darkness. He adored Alice, and seeing her kneel and be in awe like this made him feel incredibly jealous.

Yet there was nothing he could do about it. No matter how he tried to think about this situation, there was absolutely no possibility for him to change anything. Jake had every right to fuck whoever he wanted, especially Alice. Jake was just better than him in any way, and it would be unthinkable to deny it. All he could do was try to be happy for her. She clearly enjoyed sucking Jake off at least.

Mike tried to imagine what it would be like if he could ever make her feel like that. He watched as Jake grabbed her head and deep-throated her until she gagged. Jake suddenly looked at Mike and grinned.

"Hey, Mike. Did you know that your punishment actually started weeks ago?" Mike shook his head, not knowing what he meant.

"No, Master."

"Okay, first of all, stop this. I don’t wanna see your dick."

"I can't."

Then he heard Melissa's voice, "Stop jerking off, Mike!"

"Thanks, babe," Jake said. "Come here."

Mike let out a sigh of relief while Melissa sat down on the bed next to Jake. She wore a tight red dress that he would usually have a problem with. He quickly put his dick back in his pants and closed his zipper. He really wished he could go wash his hands.

"I think Alice should tell the story of how I fucked her behind your back for the last three weeks."

Alice's left Jake's cock with a wet plop, turned her head around, and continued jerking Master off with her hand. "It's true, Mike."

Mike shook his head. How could this perfect creature have done this to him? He instantly knew the answer; Because he was a loser and Jake was better than him in any way. Alice confirmed his thoughts: "I couldn't help it if I tried. He just knew how to fuck me. Knew what I needed. Knew how to make me cum. With you, I had to fake it every time, by the way."

"I understand," Mike said, resigned but genuine. 

"You could never make me feel like that." Alice shrugged and turned around to suck Jake off again. "Would you like to cum all over my face, Master?"

Jake shook his head. "No. I want you to go home with Mike now. This was nice and all, but I need some alone time with my girlfriend."

"Are you sure?" Melissa asked him carefully. Mike and Alice had just left, and her mother was sent downstairs to prepare breakfast. "I understand if you want to be uninfluenced."

"I'm sure, Melissa. There is nothing I want to change." They both stood in the middle of her room. The door was closed, and the light was dimmed. "I love you, Melissa." He took her hands and kissed them both. Melissa could not believe her luck. "And I love loving you. I was in so much pain before. I could not see what was right in front of me the whole time."

"But you only think that because I made you." Melissa reminded him meekly.

Jake waved it off. "Nonsense. I felt this way about you for a while now. I just didn't realize what it meant before." Jake wasn't sure if that was actually true, but he didn't care. He wanted Melissa to embrace this without feeling guilty.

"But what if-"

"Stop it. You will obey now, you understand?"

"Yes, Master."

"I love you," Jake said again, his voice even softer.

"I love you, too."

Jake kissed her, and it felt so right. So good. He felt butterflies in his stomach and a giddy kind of happiness he hadn't felt in years. His face was still throbbing in pain, but in the end, this was the lucky outcome, he figured. It had to happen this way for him to end up truly happy.

"I love you so much, Master."

"Please, call me Jake."
