EighteenRoberta was roused from a pleasantly erotic dream involving Kai by the door opening. Thus startled, the Reader's Digest fell to the floor, still propped open at the article “The Most Heroic Dogs in America” that she'd dozed off reading. Thinking Kai had come back, she stretched and smiled, looking forward to seeing him again—especially after that dream.

She hadn't thought he'd be so bold as to barge into her room like that. Her feelings on being a slave were irrelevant—she was Kai's property, and he would definitely be learning of this invasion of her privacy.
