<br/>Mark instantly took note of how she had already begun calling him Sir. His first inclination was to raise his brow, but he kept that tightly under control. It was a little surprising how quickly she was becoming comfortable with him. It pleased him that he was so calming and assertive without overly being so. This bode well for the future.<br/><br/>“You may, for now. Later, that will change.” He hinted at what would come, but left it at that. Taking a sip of his own water, he listened to her explain her profession.<em>A massage therapist? Excellent. I do love massages. A slave who can work on my tight muscles would be most welcome.</em>Mark was very happy.<br/><br/>“Your schedule is very loose. I like that.” Mark let his eyes wander over her body a moment, studying the folds of her white shirt and brown skirt. “Massage therapy will fit in quite nicely. As for how often I will require you stay with me, I desire two to three days. No less. Certain occurrences, such as a business trip, may see me calling you off. We each have our own things to attend too. Should I come to truly enjoy you, I may ask more time of you. That, for now, is in the future and should not affect the here and now.”<br/><br/>He took another drink of water and placed his cup on a small table next to the chair. Amber's chair had one placed next to it as well. “Do you object at this point? I still have more to say before we finalize our relationship.” His lips pursed ever so slightly at the thought of being able to claim her as his. Even outside of the sexual realm, he felt he would enjoy getting to know her.
