Masters And Lovers 1-4 novel Chapter 1

***********

A Note From The Author

'Masters And Lovers' is the continuing story of Charlotte, her Master, James, and her Lover, Michael. The story is a long one and is still on-going. I'll admit, it started in a small way with 'Buying The Virgin'. It was originally intended to be a series of short stories of auction erotica fun and frolics, made up of five short stories, the whole story taking place over just a week.

However, Charlotte, James and Michael were a hit with my readers and I received a lot of requests for 'more please'. The story grew... and grew...

So, if you have not met Charlotte, James and Michael before and would like to start with the beginning of the story, here is where to start.

You can read how the tale begins, as told from The Virgin, Charlotte, in 'Buying The Virgin'. The simple little tale that outgrew its original objectives.

Alternatively, you can start the story as told by The Boys, James and Michael, in 'Mastering The Virgin'. This is a more detailed story where you learn a lot more about not just Charlotte, but James and Michael too. You get a lot more background and, of course, lots more sizzle and steam.

I should also say, that while there is of course, a lot of overlap between these two versions of the story, they are by no means identical. Each contains insights and information that is not present in the other. After these two series, the tale continues in 'Masters And Lovers'.

On the other hand, if you are happy to start here, then I have tried hard to make the story manageable for the new reader starting at this point.

Whatever you decide, I do hope you enjoy the read.

Happy Reading

James

Pain….

Blinding, shrieking, unholy agony….

Screaming….

My Jade-Eyes screaming….

Blood….

Pain….

Screaming.

My Jade, weeping….

With a gasp, I rear up, blinking into darkness.

A nightmare….

Just a nightmare….

Beside me in the bed, my flame-haired mermaid, safe and sound, sleeps peacefully. Beyond her: Michael, his chest rising and falling in the steady rhythm of sleep.

Everything is fine. Everything is perfectly normal.

But I’m drenched in sweat, my heart hammers behind my ribs and my breathing snatches. The wound in my thigh throbs a slow, heated beat.
