Love Slave:

Simone’s Notes:

BDSM is a variety of erotic practices or roleplaying involving bondage, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and other interpersonal dynamics. Given the wide range of practices, some of which may be engaged in by people who do not consider themselves as practicing BDSM, inclusion in the BDSM community or subculture is usually dependent on self-identification and shared experience. Interest in BDSM can range from one-time experimentation to a lifestyle. The term BDSM is first recorded in a Usenet posting from 1991, and is interpreted as a combination of the abbreviations B/D, Bondage and Discipline, D/S, Dominance and submission, and S/M, Sadism and Masochism. BDSM is used today as a catch-all phrase covering a wide range of activities, forms of interpersonal relationships, and distinct subcultures. BDSM communities generally welcome anyone with a non-normative streak who identifies with the community; this may include cross-dressers, extreme body modification enthusiasts, animal players, latex or rubber aficionados, and others.

Edward turned to Elle.

“You ready to do this?” he asked.

She tossed back her blonde hair as she snorted. “Yeah, yeah.”

He raised an eyebrow. “I sense some contempt.”

“Whatever gave you that idea?”

Edward shrugged. “No reason.”

She unlocked the heavy steel door. The pets shielded their eyes from the blinding dim light. Elle ran a quick count of everyone here. She motioned her head over to Edward.

“Everyone’s here.”

“Good, good,” he said. “We can begin.”

They chose thirteen today. The pets kept their eyes on the ground. Edward patted one of them on the shoulder.

“There, there. It will all be over soon.”

They knew he was lying. This time, he, Elle, and Manami were going to try something a little bit different.

Manami sat in her room.

Elle and Edward shoved the pets inside.

Their queen did a quick count. “Excellent, you may go.”

Elle and Edward leave the room. As they walk away, he turns to her. She noticed him eyeing her.

“What?”

“I have a question.”

She growls at him in response.

Edward put up his hands. “Easy there, girl.”

Elle rolled her eyes.

“So, what is your deal? Why do you hate men?”

“What’s it to you?”

His eyes shift back and forth. “Are you a lesbian?”

She wrinkled her nose. “No!”

“Then… why do you hate men?”

“I don’t.”

Edward rolled his eyes. “Could’ve fooled me…”

She cut him a cold glare. He drew back with his mouth closed.

“Besides, there is one guy that I like.”

“Let me guess, Azrael. Right?”

She lowered her head. “He was the one who made me.”

“I can understand that. But what about other men?”

“They are all the same. Men just use us up and until they find something better. Not me anything. I’m going to use them up and throw them away!”

“What about me?”

She glanced over her shoulder. “What about you?”

“Am I the same as the other men?”

“Yes.”

“And why is that?”

Elle snorted and rolled her eyes. “You are!”

Edward watched her walk off. He just can’t seem to get her.
