I gazed into her eyes and mulled it over. My freedom hung in the balance and I knew my next words would set the foreseeable future. “What about my job?” I whispered.
“As long as I know you’ll keep coming home to me, I’ll be happy for you to work,” she replied. “Just promise there is still an us once the contract is over.”
“I’d like there to be an us,” I admitted. “I would like that very much. I think... I think I love you too.”
The smile she beamed at me seemed to light up the room and I found myself smiling back. Suddenly, the world seemed a lot less scary, my future a lot less bleak, and my self-esteem a lot less damaged.
“Mistress, may I come home with you?”
“Yes, my little tigress. Always.”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
When D. F. Krieger was banned from writing contests at her school, she immediately set it in her head that she would become a professional writer. Since then, she has thrown away her plans of world domination through books, but she still enjoys writing. By the time she pens her final book with a hand ravaged by age, she hopes to introduce her readers to many alternate worlds, lines of thinking, and captivating characters.
When she’s not writing, she can be found surrounded by rescue cats who call her, “Mom” while she’s cross-stitching, crocheting, painting, or playing video games. Her family loves that she plays video games, though they refuse to play first person shooter games against her anymore because she makes an awesome sniper.
You can find D. F. on the East Coast, hiding away from the real world with a gleam in her eye and a plot in her head. She resides with her husband, kids, and pets; who all kindly put up with her random bouts of laughter—over things she can’t explain—and journal collecting fetish.
Wanna keep an eye on D. F. online? You can find her at her website dfkrieger.com where she updates what she’s working on and occasionally posts to a blog.
