The party had been much fun. Seeing everyone having such a good time, the atmosphere was light and playful. MasterMike seemed to love his present, and all was good for the moment.

BabySub was tired, but there was something she wanted to do first. For the first time since Yuri had taken her, her abduction had come to her mind, and she needed to see herself. In her old chambers, there was a mirror, and she walked down the corridor towards her old room.

Opening and closing the door quietly, she took deep breaths as she moved to the location of the mirror. She had to see.

BabySub stared back at her reflection, looking into her own eyes, blinking slowly. Raising a hand, she gently moved her dark hair from over her shoulder, letting it cascade down her back.

Her hand moved to touch her breast, as her eyes fell to look at it. A finger trailing round the nipple, she smiled quietly. No mark. Her eyes drifted to her shoulder blade, her finger again trailing over the skin. Tears welled in her eyes as she felt such relief. Again, there was no mark.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Yuri, she just.. had to see for herself.

“Little one,”

Turning to look towards the door, BabySub saw Yuri standing, naked, watching her.

“Yuri, I..”

“Shh, little one. I know. Come to me.”

BabySub turned and walked to him, her bare feet padding across the floor. When she reached him, she stopped and let her head hang lower. Her eyes closed for a moment, savouring his mere presence.

Yuri placed his finger under her chin, and raised her head, giving her permission to look him in the eye. Trailing a finger down her cheek, he saw a tear fall and wiped it tenderly from her face.

“No tears little one. Not unless they’re tears of happiness.”

Babysub’s heart fluttered wildly in her breast, a lump in her throat. What had happened with Dracubus and Myra had been a living nightmare, and if she was honest, she was still terrified that she’d see them again. But when she was with Yuri, nothing seemed to matter. She felt safe and loved, and her heart melted.

“No, Sir.”

“I won’t let them hurt you again, little one.”

Yuri felt BabySub’s relief spread over him like a blanket, and smiled down at her. She was so sweet, and still sometimes very vulnerable. He liked that. She wasn’t shy with him, but sometimes he loved to see her blush.

“Do you wish to please me tonight?” he asked her, already knowing her answer.

BabySub couldn’t keep the smile from her lips as Yuri spoke, already feeling the tendrils of his psyche reaching out for her. She shivered delightfully, as a tingling shot down her spine.

“Yes, Sir.”

“Good girl.”
