There was only ever one choice for her. She never stood a chance. Having been introduced to the peace and pleasure of total domination by Erik's student, there was no going back for her.
Erik watched her tremble. Her body language told him the choice she'd made. He wondered if she trembled from the realisation she was actually choosing this life, or from fear of having disappointed her mistress.
She began to turn. "M-Mistress, I—"
"Stop," Asha commanded, her voice cold. Panic flickered across Hana's face, but she obeyed and stopped mid-turn. Hana recognised that tone. It promised sweet rewards and even sweeter punishments.
Asha still leaned back, elbows and lower arms resting on the counter behind her. "I want you to look at him," she grinned, though her tone became no warmer. She was enjoying herself, but continued expecting nothing but perfect obedience from her new pet. "Look at him as you crawl back to me. Remind yourself what you're choosing, and what you're leaving behind."
