Private Property

I stretched out on my beach towel, feeling the warm California sun on my skin as I ended the call with my father. The Pacific Ocean stretched before us, waves crashing rhythmically against the shore while families, couples, and groups of friends dotted the golden sand around us. Claudia lay beside me, her olive skin glistening with sunscreen, her dark hair tied in a messy bun atop her head. She wore an emerald green bikini that complemented her curves perfectly, oversized sunglasses perched on her nose as she flipped through a dog-eared paperback.

"So?" she asked, lowering her book and peering at me over her sunglasses. "How did it go? Did your dad actually read the business plan or did he just skim it while on a conference call about industrial lubricants or whatever it is Moore Industrial Solutions actually sells?"

I couldn't help but smirk, still processing the news myself. "He not only read it, he's giving me the green light. Half a million dollars to develop Paradox Proof." I ran my fingers through my messy blond hair, still damp from our earlier swim. "He's actually investing in my game. Like, for real."

Claudia bolted upright, her book forgotten as it tumbled onto the sand. "Half a million dollars? Are you serious? That's a crazy amount of money, Oliver!" Her eyes were wide with genuine shock. "I mean, I knew your dad was loaded, but that's… that's insane."

"It's actually not that much for game development," I explained, though I couldn't keep the excitement from my voice. "AAA titles cost tens of millions. But for an indie game? It's enough to pay me and a small team for the two years I think it'll take to release. Maybe hire that artist I was telling you about for the character designs, get a proper programmer instead of my hack job coding, maybe even a sound designer." I stared out at the ocean, mentally assembling my dream team. "It's happening, Claudia. It's actually happening."

She leaned over and kissed me, tasting of salt and the strawberry lip balm she always carried. "I'm so proud of you," she whispered against my lips. "You're going to make an amazing game."

I reached for my phone again, checking the latest update from President Thomas's team. "Hey, looks like they sent the final numbers on Operation Freedom," I said, scrolling through the email. "They estimate 99% of women on Earth have received our message. The remaining one percent are mostly in extremely remote areas with no access to technology or outside communication."

"Ninety-nine percent!" Claudia cheered, raising her arms triumphantly and drawing curious glances from nearby beachgoers. "We did it! We actually freed half the human race from cosmic servitude!"

"Yup! Now if I need another submissive **** I'll have to settle for girls in uncontacted tribes in the Amazon."

Claudia smacked my arm playfully. "You really have something for exotic women, don't you?"

I chuckled, tucking my phone away. "You know what's funny, though? The broadcast worked perfectly. We were everywhere, on every channel, women spent weeks sending the message to other women, and yet it barely made the news. No one seemed to care much about it, once again." I shook my head in disbelief. "We literally freed half of humanity from servitude, and it wasn't even a blip on everyone else's radar. Good thing we commanded Deborah Thomas to carry on the task no matter what future commands she'd get. Otherwise we wouldn't even know if it worked."

"That's because to everyone else, nothing changed," Claudia pointed out, lying back down and adjusting her sunglasses. "The world just kept spinning like it always has." She reached for my hand, intertwining her fingers with mine. "And maybe that's better. Can you imagine the chaos if we'd actually freed everyone?"

I laughed, imagining myself being interrogated by stern-faced politicians about my cosmic ownership of women. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Better this way." I squeezed her hand. "Though sometimes I still can't believe it all happened. It feels like a twisted dream. Do you think that damn plastic Scepter of Dominion had something to do with it?"

"Who knows?" Claudia shrugged. "Maybe it was the scepter, maybe it was some cosmic entity with a twisted sense of humor, maybe it was just random chance. Does it matter?" She rolled onto her side to face me. "What matters is what you did with that power in the end."

I nodded, feeling a weight lift from my shoulders that had been there for months. "I guess you're right. And hey, at least I got a girlfriend out of it."

"And I got a boyfriend who technically owned me for a while," Claudia teased. "Not many women can put that on their dating resume." She seemed almost saddened by it, like she had lost something.

Claudia leaned over and kissed me deeply, her lips warm against mine, her hand resting on my chest. When she pulled away, her eyes sparkled with mischief and something else—something almost wistful.

"This calls for a celebration," she said, her voice dropping to that husky tone that always made my stomach flip. "The game, the funding, all of it." She held my gaze, her fingers tracing lazy patterns on my skin. "You know, it's really such a shame you can't control my mind with commands anymore. I'd love for you to mindfuck me, and just… fuck me, right here, right now. As a little gift."

I chuckled, raising an eyebrow. "A gift for me, or for you?"

"Both," she replied without hesitation, her lips curving into that smile that always made me feel like we were sharing some delicious secret. "Definitely both."

I sighed, glancing around at the families and couples scattered across the beach. "We could try classic hypnosis, I guess. Maybe Renee could teach me her techniques. She seems to have a knack for getting into your head even without cosmic powers."

"Yeah, maybe," Claudia agreed, but I could hear the disappointment in her voice. Then suddenly, her eyes widened, and I could almost see the adrenaline rush hit her system—her pupils dilated, her breathing quickened, and she sat up straighter, gripping my arm. "Wait. Wait a second."

"What?" I asked, intrigued by the sudden intensity in her expression. "What are you thinking about?"

"You still own all women, right? I mean, on paper at least. People still recognize you as the Owner, even if you can't command us anymore."

"Yeah, I guess. So?" I wasn't following her logic. "Where are you going with this?"

"It means that whatever magic made you the owner of all women, it's still at work. You just locked your ability to command women away." She bit her lower lip, her eyes never leaving mine. "So maybe… maybe it means that…" She hesitated, as if testing the idea even as she spoke it. "That if I offer myself to you, I could be yours again."

I stared at her, surprised and a bit shocked. "Are you serious? You want to go back to being… owned?"

"Yes," she said firmly, though I could see her swallow hard. "And it would be fine because I want it. I've realized I… I miss it. Not the global ownership thing—that was messed up. But between us? Just us? I want it back."

I studied her face, searching for any sign of doubt or hesitation. "Are you absolutely sure about this? This isn't just some beach vacation impulse?"

She nodded solemnly, then straightened her back and declared in a clear voice: "I, Claudia Moreno, offer myself completely to Oliver Moore." She crossed her fingers playfully, but her eyes remained intense, almost burning into mine.

We both looked around, as if expecting some cosmic sign or shift in the universe. Nothing happened. I gestured wordlessly, raising my eyebrows in question.

She shook her head, disappointment creeping into her expression.

Before she could say anything else, I decided to complete the ritual. "I accept you as mine, Claudia Moreno."

The change was subtle but unmistakable. Claudia's body seemed to relax and tense simultaneously, her eyes widening in surprise before a slow, delighted grin spread across her face. "Holy shit," she whispered. "Command me to do something. Quick."

I was skeptical, but curious. Looking around to make sure no one was paying too much attention to us, I leaned in close. "Show me your tits. Right now."

Claudia's cheeks flushed crimson, but without hesitation, she reached behind her back, untied her bikini top, and flashed me briefly before quickly covering herself again. She gasped, her eyes wide with shock and unmistakable arousal.

"I couldn't resist," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly. "I felt it again—how you obviously own me. It feels so normal, so right. I remember being free, but now I'm having trouble understanding what that even meant. Like, why wouldn't I belong to you? It's just… obvious."

I stared at her in amazement, feeling that familiar surge of power and responsibility. "This is incredible," I murmured. "But are you okay with this? Really okay?"

Claudia squeezed my hand, her eyes shining with certainty. "I'm more than okay with this," she assured me. "Obviously, now that you own me again, I'm like, casually totally okay with it." She laughed, a sound that carried on the ocean breeze. "But the weird thing is, I remember being okay with it even when I was free, whatever that means. It's like… I wanted this all along."

I felt a complicated mixture of emotions—happiness for myself, for her getting what she wanted, but also a twinge of sadness. Now that she was under the effects of my weird power again, she didn't seem to fully grasp why it had mattered for her to be free, or why it mattered for other women. I realized with a sinking feeling that if I ever found a loophole to take control of all women again, she probably wouldn't object.

Claudia nudged me with her elbow, reading my expression perfectly. "Relax, Oliver. I do remember it all, and why it mattered." She grinned mischievously. "Kinda," she added playfully, elbowing me again. "I'm still me, you know. Just… yours."

A thought occurred to me suddenly. "Claudia, I command you to be free again if you ever catch me attempting to get control of women in a way your free self would disapprove of. I command you to remain under the effects of this command no matter future commands. This command cannot be deleted in any way."

She blinked, surprised. "I'm… not sure I understand completely, but obviously I accept." She tilted her head. "If it makes you feel better, I'll keep you in check."

I pulled out my phone and opened YouTube, quickly finding one of the many reposts of my broadcast. I handed the phone to her, the first frame frozen on my nervous face standing in the White House press room.

Claudia stared at the screen, then back at me, her expression serious. "Are you sure about this? Right now, I'm fully yours to command, with no restrictions. And I'm fine with it." Her fingers hovered over the play button. "More than fine."

"You'll still be free to obey my commands if you want to," I reminded her. "You can keep enjoying the mind control we both like so much. It'll just be your choice again."

"Still..." She seemed hesitant as her thumb hovered above the screen.

"Watch it," I commanded firmly. "Now."

She obeyed immediately, her eyes fixed on my phone as the video played. I turned away, enjoying the sun on my face and the wind in my hair, listening to the distant crash of waves and the muffled sound of my own voice coming from the phone's speakers.

When the video ended, Claudia handed the phone back to me. We stared at each other for a long moment, and then, simultaneously, we broke into matching grins.

"Did it work?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer.

"Try me," she challenged, her eyes sparkling.

"I... Erm..." I realized I didn't really know what to make her do that I would know for sure she wouldn't want to do... I looked around and noticed a kid busy crafting an impressive sandcaslte a bit farther along the shore. "I command you to destroy that kid's sandcastle and laugh about it. And tell him it was a crappy sandcastle anyway."

"Seriously?" She asked me, giving me a look. "That's horrible." She laughed. "No way!"

I sigh in relief. "Good."

She rolled her eyes at me. "I guess I'm free again, then." She leaned in, kissing me deeply, and I felt her smile against my lips. "Kinda," she added playfully.

"Claudia, I command you to lie on your back in the sand, on your towel," I said, my voice low. "Remain perfectly still, unable to move. And be so horny for my cock that you can't think about anything else."

She immediately complied, stretching out on her towel, her body going rigid. Her chest rose and fell rapidly with her breathing, and her pupils dilated until her eyes were almost black.

"Please," she moaned, her voice strained. "Please fuck me, Oliver. I need you inside me. Oh... Fuck!" Her voice grew louder, drawing glances from nearby beachgoers. "Please, I'm begging you. I need your cock so badly."

I positioned myself between her legs, pulling her bikini bottom aside and entering her in one smooth motion. She was already wet, her body responding to my command with perfect obedience. I fucked her right there on the beach, her moans growing louder with each thrust, her body trembling but remaining motionless as I'd commanded.

People walked past, some averting their eyes, others watching for a moment before continuing on their way. No one intervened or seemed particularly shocked. After all, I was just a guy playing with his toy. And even though they didn't know it, it was the only toy I still really owned—the only one I'd ever need.

The End

Book 2 is now available!

Aaand this is it for me. Phew! It's been a long journey. I hope you've enjoyed it. If you're curious to read more from me or want to support me, feel free to check out my other books on Kindle and Smashwords.

I also do commissions, so feel free to send me a DM if that is of interest to you.

I'm about halfway writing a second big MC novel. It's a bit different, more ambitious, with a lot more tension and higher stakes. I don't know if you guys are going to like it, because it contains less sex than what you'd be used to around here, but I believe the sex is far more twisted and delicious because of the context. So... do not hesitate to follow me and stick around ;)

I could use some feedback about my current draft so if you're interested you can find me on Discord and I'll be happy to send it your way.
