Ashley had no idea.

“Glad to see you, Ashley,” Theodore said, giving her a warm hug. “How was your day?”

Ashley had to pause for a moment. “It went fine, I learned a lot,” Ashley replied, but that was all she felt safe saying. Her mind was still racing with the conversation with Anna and the potential implications that lay in wait for her.

Theodore kissed Ashley on her forehead. “Did you miss me too? I had to work late, you know how it is.” He took the leash and released Ashley from the pickup area.

Ashley threw her arms around him and pulled him in tight. “Of course, I missed you so much, Master. Thank you for pick me up.”

Theodore laughed and ran a hand through her hair. “You don’t have to thank me for that, Ashley. You’re my slut. That's what I should do as your master.”

Ashley smiled and pressed her lips to his cheek. “You’re the best master, ever."

She knew she shouldn’t keep secrets from Theodore, but the situation with Anna was so dire she feared Theodore might act out of character for the first time and do something drastic if he knew. She had to keep quiet, if only for him.

“What are you thinking about, Ashley?” Theodore asked as he put her leash on its hook.

It took a moment for Ashley to return to the here and now. “Just you, Master.”

Theodore chuckled and let his hands run down her curves. “You have been thinking about me? Why do you do that when I am in front of you?”

Ashley tried her best to act natural and play along, but her mind kept drifting back to Anna’s problem. “Well, maybe I’ve been thinking about giving you things, Master. To show my appreciation for all you’ve done for me.”

Theodore looked at her with interest. “You are my property and own nothing. What can you give me, slut?”

“I’m not sure yet. Maybe it will come to me when we’re alone in bed.” Ashley hoped that her answer would leave Theodore satisfied until she could figure out something to do to help Anna. She knew Theodore was probably used to getting everything he wanted right away, but she hoped he would understand that she wanted to make this a special surprise.

“Fine. You have until tomorrow morning to think of your surprise for me. I have plans tonight though, Ashley, and I don’t want them ruined by having to think about you.”

“Sorry, Master,” Ashley said as he released her leash again.

“Don’t be sorry, slut. You’ve made me a happy man today.”

On their road home, Ashley wishes she could speak up about Anna. If only she could trust Theodore enough. He had saved her from becoming Bruce's **** and had promised to take care of her, but he had also hurt her. He had taken her in because he wanted her, which Ashley could assume.

Ashley wasn’t sure what she should do. She could either go on as if nothing had happened or act like the good girl Theodore wanted her to be. She wished she could ask someone for advice, but all she had were her own thoughts. She really wanted to talk with her mother.

She had rarely spoken with her mother since she had moved to Theodore's house. She hadn’t thought about that part of her new life and how she would handle the situation if it came up. She decided that her mother would likely think her a whore for becoming a ****. Even if she didn’t, Ashley knew there was no way she could tell her mother what had happened.

It was late into the night when they arrived at the house. Theodore let go of Ashley's leash.

“Take off your clothes.” He ordered.

“Yes, Master.” she said as she put her heels behind her and started to peel her clothes off, starting with her top.

Theodore was patient, he even helped her pull her skirt down at the end. “Very good, slut.”

Ashley blushed at the compliment. She had wanted to be his girl, his special little slut who he loved. She remembered that she had to make a special gift for Theodore. She regretted not finding another reason to explain her distraction. Maybe if she could surprise him enough, and thus could tell him the truth without irritating him.

When the time for bed had arrived, Theodore pulled Ashley with him into his room. Ashley hoped that he wanted her to sleep next to him. She felt so safe when they were together like he really would do everything to keep her happy and healthy.

“Get on your knees,” Theodore ordered.

Ashley knelt and waited to see what Theodore wanted of her.

Theodore lifted his trousers up to his knees and pulled his cock out. “Do it like before.”

Ashley had been hoping that she could give Theodore some oral pleasure and thus make him happy, but she was still worrying about Anna. She lowered her mouth to his crotch and started to lick and suck him.

“Deeper, slut.” Theodore said.

She wasn’t sure she could go any deeper without **** herself, but she couldn’t just give up. If Theodore wasn't pleased, maybe he would get angry. She tried to push his cock deeper into her mouth as her throat convulsed to prevent her from ****. Her body started to heave as her stomach fought to empty its contents through her throat.

“Good slut.” Theodore moaned, “Just like before.” He pulled away before she could ****.

Ashley breathed heavily and fought back the tears. She hated it when she failed at making Theodore happy.

Theodore put his hand on her head, “You’ve done very well, Ashley. Better than before.”

Ashley beamed with pride, “Thank you, Master.”

“Get into bed,” Theodore ordered and followed her.

She pulled the covers over her and looked at Theodore who was still pulling off his shirt. She couldn’t stop herself from wanting to kiss his chest as she had done before. She leaned up towards him and pressed her lips against his skin.

Theodore stroked her hair and pulled her up into a kiss. Ashley had to fight down the urge to cry in happiness as they kissed. When they broke apart, she pulled the covers over him.

“You’re a good girl,” he said as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close.

Ashley smiled and rested her head on his chest. She fell asleep listening to Theodore's heartbeat, dreaming of how much better things could be when she surprised him. She woke up to Theodore’s fingers on her. His hands wandered over her curves and slid in between her legs.

“Wake up, slut,” Theodore whispered as he slid a finger in.

“Huh? Master?” Ashley looked up at him with sleepy eyes.

Theodore's other hand found her breasts and cupped one in his hand. He squeezed it lightly and bent down to kiss her. “Morning, Ashley.”

She smiled and tried to get up. “Morning Master.” She said.

"Have you prepared your gift?"
