Hydration is always a care with Stella; Doc warned me to watch her with that. I gave her a hearty drink with lots of electrolytes, and allowed thirty minutes. Releasing her from the rack, I let her rest in a chair for a bit, allowing her to relax her muscles. I sat down in the chair opposite her.
"Stella, we have to talk about this "Suite" thing. I don't want you to get upset about this! It was simply a sign of trust, of confidence in you... and an allowance that I felt you would understand MY needs as well. There will be times I may be working with other women; punishing them, even fucking them, to check their talents and capabilities. Those situations may take all night, or all day, or longer, during which YOU need someplace to hang out. You will also, I'm guessing, have times you wish to entertain a 'guest'. And it may just be strictly business, or a momentary infatuation, or an opportunity to satisfy a fantasy. Perhaps Johnny Depp or someone comes in and wags his finger at you: I KNOW you love me, that you will always be faithful. That does not mean that I expect you to be a nun!"
"Woman, you are a human being. You have submitted to me, professed your love for me, expressed your desire to spend your life with me. All these have warmed my heart, as I feel the same way, in spite of the short time we have known each other. But that opportunity might just arise. You might want to take Doc to bed, or give Tom a tumble... you'd be surprised some of the tricks both of them could teach you. The opportunity to see Queen Mary is something which might surprise you... don't think you've met her yet: she is the oldest member of the staff, at 77, and also the most in demand. And no, she doesn't attract many senior citizens, her chief clientele is thirty-somethings; men AND women. She is the eternal fountain of youth and love, the Earth Mother we all yearn for."
"We have a bunch of wonderful, sexually attractive, brilliant, clean, disease-free, and WILLING folks here who play with other members of the staff all the time. 'Mom', for instance, gives a wonderful stress-breaking blowjob... and could teach a lot of the 'experts' on this staff what to do. Why would I expect that, sooner or later, Lance might not catch your eye? Or Jim from the bar? Or even Astrid? Gads, *Fred* might take a shine to you!!"
"You have all of those wonderful qualities, share many of the abilities. I love YOU as a person, as my submissive, for who you are. Why would I limit you??" I stood and paced. She had pushed one of my buttons without knowing it.
"One of the most serious illnesses the human race faces is not cancer, or heart disease, or hunger. It's not aids, it's not ebola, or even malaria. The worst disease human beings face is jealousy. It's an illness that eats away at every level of our world... and infects the vast majority of humanity under many names. Greed. Possessiveness. Infidelity. Some would even say 'religion'. I don't know about that one... but dammit, here in my family, I'm doing my very best to try to let people know about that illness, and about the cures. And they are simple. Trust, and love."
Calming down some, I sat back down and took Stella's hands in mine. "Strangely enough, that's the trick. Trust and love are absolutes; either you do, or you don't. Trouble is, most only do it part-way."
"I have a gift of reading people; I read you almost as once as someone I could trust... and therefore, someone I could love. There are dozens and dozens of people I love; I'm simply fortunate enough to realize it. They can trust me, I can trust them to the ends of the earth."
Looking her deeply in the eye, I said, "Stella, I love you absolutely. And I trust you absolutely. I'd like you to look at the assignment of that suite in that light, and take some time to consider it."
