The Slave

At twenty-seven years old, Tamelik has known nothing but servitude. His life was forever changed when his family was brutally murdered in front of him as a child. Despite this traumatic event, he has learned to be submissive and obedient. However, it is not until his mistress leaves her husband that Tam's life takes a dramatic turn. He finds himself drawn to the master who treats him with kindness, and for six months, they are able to explore their feelings together. But when Tam is ordered to purchase another slave, his world is turned upside down once again. Kai, the new slave, is unlike anyone Tam has ever met. He is unruly and ungrateful, yet he also cries himself to sleep and blushes beautifully when kissed. As Tam struggles to come to terms with his feelings for Kai, he must confront the reality of their situation. Can two people truly be in love with each other when they are both bound to serve another? As Tam navigates this complex web of emotions and relationships, he must decide where his true loyalties lie. Will he find a way to be with those he loves, or will the constraints of his servitude tear them apart?
