Max had learned back during his time as a slave that one should never be beaten constantly because to be honest it took the fun out of it, at least it did for Max.  Too be honest this surprised Max as much as it did Rimion that he was sitting there having this conversation with him.  Why was he interested anyway?  Max didn't have any intention to hit Rimion with the chain he was holding, it was just the fact to show that he was still in control and would use it if he deemed it necessary.  "You will come to learn I am not like the typical Master, I am interested in a lot of things when it comes to my slaves."  Not that he would admit it to Rimion, but he had been the only slave he had ever been interested in.<br/><br/>"Ever think of doing that to me and it would be 22 whippings in a day."  Max said with a smirk, "And not with the whip."<br/><br/>Max was surprised to learn that Arin wanted to Fight Rimion when he brought him into the house.  Every Master knows that is not something that you do with a slave.  When you fight your slave you end up losing the power control over them and that was apparently what happened to Arin with Rimion. "Obviously his wife already took a liking to you, which is why I don't have a wife." That and Max really did not have a thing for women, even though he had been with some.<br/><br/>It was Max's turn to laugh at the thought of Mercy, it seemed to him that Arin was very merciful to him.  Max was trying to decide what to do with Rimion.  He contemplated for a moment then grabbed the chain and pulled him upstairs with him and took him to one of the bedrooms upstairs.  It was a simple room with a bed, side table, dresser, closet, and bathroom.  The room was in a dark shade of blue.  "Take a shower and put on fresh clothes, and there is cream in the bathroom for the cuts."  Max said as he reached up and removed the lock from the collar and took it off.  Then Max left the room leaving the door open so he could tell it was unlocked and then he made his way back to the kitchen where he was sitting sipping on coffee.<br/><br/>Max was sitting at the kitchen island sipping the coffee and wondering what was going through Rimion's head given what Max just did with him.  He figured the man probably thought he was going to leave him in the basement.
