Sebastian was quite pleased with himself. The house was completely up and functional. The domestic slaves seemed content with their work and lives. His family had always been a little more lax with their slaves, wanting them to be happy in their lot in life. They allowed the domestic slaves to form relationships with one another and if any children were born, they were kept with the family instead of sold or traded off.

According to the most recent report from the family financial advisor, as well as Bash's own personal one, their money was making money. All he needed to do now was watch the market and make sure his investments stayed strong. This, of course, left him with a lot of free time on his hands. He worked daily on his potions, stock piling many of the popular ones he sold and used. Even still, he was often bored which was also part of the reason he'd purchased Darcy. She was something, or someone, to help him pass the time. They had gone shopping yesterday to get her a closet worth of clothes, undergarments, shoes, and accesories. While they'd been out, he had purchased some things for her that he'd give her once they were more comfortable with each other and their relationship a little further along.

It was late afternoon on Tuesday and Bash was sitting out on the back patio with a fire burning in the outdoor fireplace and a vodka tonic. This was his first drink of the day and likely his only. He was lounging in chair with his feet up, watching the flames flicker, wearing a pair of low rise jeans with a brown leather belt and a pale grey Henley. His feet were bare, being warmed by the fire. When she came into his line of sight, Bash smiled and looked up into her face. "Care for a drink?"

Darcy was still growing accustomed to her new position. It felt more like she had been chosen to be Sebastian's companion rather than his personal slave. It was especially dizzying when he'd taken her shopping, spending more than she'd been able to keep track of on an entire full wardrobe. All if the items were of good quality, which she cherished, and she now owned more than she ever had in her life. Though technically she officially owned none of it.

His willingness to spare no expense on her happiness was comforting, promising an easy life ahead of her for however long she remained enslaved. Darcy had lucked out.

She had been delighted to put on a dress purchased yesterday that fit her beautifully, and wore a pair of sandals she could dance in. She had been exploring when she ran across Sebastian, lounging around with a drink.

Surprised by his offer, Darcy hesitated, then smiled and nodded. "I would appreciate that."

Taking a moment to look her over in her dress, Bash was quite pleased in how she looked. The dress fit her body perfectly and showcased her curves deliciously. He'd be a very happy master when she was finally comfortable enough to travel down that road of their relationship. Shaking his head of those thoughts, he smiled again.

"You can sit in the chair or sit with me on the couch. The choice is yours. Give me a moment and I'll be back with your drink." Leaving her to make her choice on where she sat, he was testing the waters. If she sat with him, they were making progress. If she sat in the chair, he still had some more work to do to get her to trust him.

Back inside, Bash poured another vodka tonic. He went light on the vodka and heavier on the tonic, adding an orange to the drink to give it a little citrus taste to it. Once the ice was added, he head back out to the patio to see where she was seated.

Darcy noticed the appraising look she received and blushed, unused to wearing anything so pretty. It was a dangerous trap to fall into, becoming accustomed to such great treatment from Sebastian and potentially forgetting that she was a slave, or believing that life wasn't so bad with someone else providing for her.

Aside from not having rights, or her freedom.

After a moment's consideration, Darcy sat on the couch, deciding that it was best to appear comfortable around her Master and to hopefully become comfortable as well. Nothing but time and effort would allow that.

Darcy accepted the drink with a smile and polite thanks. Though no stranger to alcohol, she'd rarely possessed the disposable income required to throw it away on frivolous things. She also doubted she'd ever had anything Sebastian would drink.

She took a sip, tasting the citrus covering the harsher sting of liquor, and nodded her approval. "This is good," she said, looking over at him. "What is it?"

Upon exiting the house, Sebastian immediately noticed that Darcy was on the couch. It pleased him to know that she was becoming a little more comfortable with him. Granted it had only been a few days, but progress was progress. As much as he'd like to take her right on the couch, he wouldn't. Sex was significantly better when both parties were actively involved and wanting.

Taking his seat next to her, he gave her enough room that she had her personal space, but close enough that it was an intimate setting. Sebastian took a sip of his own drink before answering her. "Thank you. It's a vodka tonic. Most people get it with lemon or lime, but that only adds to the tartness. I figured you'd prefer something just a little sweet and not too tangy."

Sebastian ran his hand through his hair as he regarded her. Darcy seemed to be in slightly better spirits, so now he wanted to know about her. "So tell me, Darcy, what was your life like before now?"

Now there was a loaded question.

"I spent a lot of time on the move," she replied carefully, uncertain how much to tell. She found some courage in drinking more vodka tonic, but kept her gaze focused on her lap. "I lost my mother when I was young. She was killed during a raid." Emotion was thick in her voice. Even though she had been little, her mother's death had hit her hard.

It had essentially been a turning point in her life, the seriousness of their situation crashing down on her with a sick finality. Bereft of her mother, Darcy grew up having no older woman to relate to, and much of her little sister's care had fallen into her hands. It had made her bitter, angry, emotions she channeled into attempts to free slaves and kill their supernatural owners when she was finally old enough to go on raids.

She wasn't about to admit that to Sebastian. There was blood on her hands, and she regretted none of it.

"I have a little sister," she continued. "I helped teach her how to read." Darcy smiled then, thinking of her sister and holding firm to the idea that she was still free. "Dad and I were pretty close, but my sister and I...we bonded after mom's death, strange as that sounds."

Finally she found the courage to look over at him. "I'm not sure what else you'd be interested in hearing."

It didn't surprise him to hear that she was free before becoming his slave. The way the handler had described her to be difficult and in need of a firm hand had led him to believe she was either free or a rebel or both before him. Listening carefully to her story, Sebastian felt sorry that she had lost her mother, let alone at a young age. He felt lucky, at that moment, that he'd yet to experience the loss of a loved one. His grandparents had all passed before he was truly old enough to understand it and his parents and siblings were still alive, enjoying life.

At the mention of a sister, he perked up. "What's your sister's name," he asked with a sip of his drink. Upon further though, he then added to his question. "I'm asking so that I inquire about her. If she too has been captured, I'd like bring her here if I can make it happen. If I hear nothing about her, then I'll leave it at that and not look to take her into slavery."

What else would he be interested in hearing? There were many things that he wanted to know. Some were extremely personal, but he'd ask and leave her to answer them or not. "Well, I'd like to know how you came to be captured, if you've had boyfriends, what your likes and dislikes are. And feel free to ask me anything in return."

Darcy instinctively wanted to protect her sister at all costs, and while Sebastian professed no interest in seeking the girl out unless she had already been captured, she still was not sure how much she could trust him. Supplying a fake name could very well lead to him purchasing a girl unrelated to her, and he might react poorly. However, she was still nervous about giving away more information than necessary about her family.

"Amelia," she said finally, knowing that a lack of response would be ill received. Besides, if her sister had fallen afoul of slavers, if Darcy could ensure her comfort, it would be inexcusable not to jump at the offer. "She looks like me but slimmer."

An oversimplification, but it wasn't as if Sebastian couldn't ask any Amelia's he came across if they had a sibling.

Darcy took another sip of her drink, hardly feeling the effects and wondering if he had made it weak on purpose. "I had one boyfriend. It didn't last." She laughed softly, shaking her head. "He decided he preferred thin blondes." She hadn't seen him after that winter anyway. For all she knew, he was dead or captured.

"As for being captured..." Darcy bit her lower lip. "I got sloppy during a raid. It could have been worse, I suppose. A lot of good people were killed." She had yet to decide if death was preferable to slavery, though as long as she was treated well, being alive was preferable. She couldn't help anyone if she was gone.

"I like to dance," she said shyly, glancing at him as if expecting to be teased. "I don't really know how, but it's wonderful. And music." There was a sense of peace that accompanied some songs Darcy could not recreate with anything else.

"I am really bad at talking about myself. What do you like?" Darcy was facing him now, having grown more relaxed during the conversation.

While Darcy hadn't given him a whole to go on as far as her sister was concerned, he sort of understood why she didn't give more information. Hopefully someday she would completely trust him, but for now Sebastian would work with what he'd been given. He surmised that as far as Darcy knew, her sister hadn't been captured. That would mean that if she had been, it would have had to have happened after Darcy herself had been captured. So a relatively new slave named Amelia. Of course there were other towns and cities that the girl could have been shipped to, but he'd put feelers out for the girl. If he could get her here, if she was a slave, then perhaps he'd win some of her trust.

"Did he decide he liked thin blondes when you wouldn't have sex with him? And by thin, obviously you mean a girl that doesn't have the same 'assets' as you do," he said gesturing to her chest. It might make her uncomfortable to talk about it, but he wanted to sure he got the right impression of the boy. He was obviously a fool.

"Oh, and by the way, Darcy, you're beautiful. I wouldn't have chosen you if I didn't think so." As she continued answering his questions, Bash took a few more sips of his drink, savoring the flavors. He'd only allow himself the one drink today, not wanting to chance a black out just yet... not that ever wanted to chance a black out. They just happened.

When she confirmed that she was a rebel, Bash couldn't help but frown. Did he need to put extra safety precautions into place within his own home? He was pretty sure he was safe from her, at least for now. Eventually he'd tweak the spells on her collar to keep her from attacking him if he felt a threat.

At the mention of dancing, an image of her moving her body seductively came to mind. It was definitely a pleasant image, one he'd have to make sure came to fruition sooner rather than later. "I'd be happy to take you dancing whenever you'd like."

Ruffling his hair, Bash smiled at her last statement. He leaned in just a little bit closer, nothing too obvious. "I love music. Enjoy making potions. Can't say I love dancing, but I enjoy moving my body against a woman's body, learning her curves. I suppose it's a bit of foreplay. I like to read and tinker about in my greenhouse where I keep the different plants I use for my potions. I prefer to lounge about than go out to stuffy social gatherings, though I do enjoy informal parties. I like my women curvaceous and brunette."

Darcy opened her mouth and closed it, thinking over what Sebastian had said. Now that he mentioned it, the boy's interest had dwindled when she'd made it clear they would not sleep together so soon. "Yes," she admitted, sounding both annoyed and disgusted by the revelation.

The simple fact of the matter was that Darcy couldn't have afforded the burden of a pregnancy, not when her family already had enough to worry about. Especially since she doubted he would have stuck around to help raise the child. The additional complications were simply too much to handle, especially at her age.

Any lingering negativity toward her ex was brushed away by Sebastian's smooth, matter-of-fact compliments, delivered with the confidence of one certain he was speaking a universal truth. Darcy knew she was attractive, but people typically never looked beyond what Sebastian referred to as her assets, even after she'd taken to hiding behind baggy shirts and jackets. To be called beautiful by someone other than her father was a novelty.

Blushing darkly, Darcy looked away shyly, finishing off her drink before returning her attention to Sebastian. She smiled with delight when he promised to take her dancing, and blushed harder at his additional compliment.

"I know nothing about magic," she said, "but I love plants. I think I would like to see your greenhouse." Darcy was still mentally stuck on his comments about dancing, however, her body temperature rising as she imagined what it might be like to dance with him.

Yes. That simple answer made him both angry at and happy with the boy. His loss was Sebastian's gain. However, now he wanted to know more about that relationship and why it had gone no where. "May I ask why you chose not to sleep with him?"

Watching her blush, Sebastian smiled a little. He liked that look on her. His compliments seemed to be doing their job in helping her relax and grow more comfortable with him. Perhaps she was even thinking about dancing with him, as he was thinking about with her. "I'd love to take you dancing sometime. Would you like to go Thursday evening?"

At the mention of knowing nothing about magic, he knew he'd have to show her a little of it at some point. The best way to introduce her would be to show her his greenhouse, which she expressed wanting to see. "I'll show you my greenhouse, just not today. Today I'd really like to get to know you better. Would you like another drink?"

Sebastian asked a sensitive and rather personal question, but she saw no harm in answering. "I hadn't known him long, and if I had become pregnant, it would have been...an unwanted complication, especially as young as I was."

Darcy doubted he understood how difficult simple survival could be in the rebel camps, but one more mouth to feed, one more body to protect, might have overloaded them. Babies also made an incredible amount of noise and sometimes, silence meant safety. She also would have been unable to join the raiding groups if she had a child to care for.

A small, delighted laugh escaped before she could catch it. Sebastian asked as if he were planning to take her on a date rather than indulge the whims of a slave. Oh yes, this was a dangerous trap. She would have to take care to remember Sebastian did not view them as equals.

"I will have to check my schedule, but I think I'm free," Darcy said teasingly, comfortable enough around him to joke a little. It was the merest brush of her humor, which could be hilariously inappropriate at times.

She stared thoughtfully into her empty glass and decided, fuck it, why not? "Yes please." Sebastian seemed to make them weak so she wasn't worried about potential intoxification. So long as he did not have multiple drinks and black out like he said happened occasionally.

Sebastian could understand her reasonings behind not wanting to have sex. He would take every precaution not to get her pregnant, but should it still happen the child would be well taken care of. Placing his hand on her arm, he smiled knowingly at her. "Those are very valid reasons to not have sex. And just so you know, that when the time comes which I hope is sooner rather than later, I'll take every precaution not to get you pregnant." He'd leave off the rest for now. Cross that bridge when they got to it kind of thing.

A genuinely amused smile crossed his lips when she felt comfortable enough to joke around and tease him. Sitting forward a little, he pulled out a smartphone and handed it to her. "It's currently programmed to only allow calls to and from me and it's restricted as far as what you can look up on it, but there is a program that allows you to speak with others here in Crescent Hills."

Without getting up, Sebastian used his telekinesis abilities and the door to the patio opened. Moments later, a bottle of vodka, a bottle of tonic, and an orange slice came through the door and were set down on the table gently. Sitting forward, Sebastian fixed Darcy another drink. He didn't want to get her drunk, just loosened up a little but to be comfortable and relaxed.

Sebastian's blunt discussion of the subject matter was a reminder that, eventually, she would be expected to sleep with him. Losing her innocence had always seemed a trifle frightening, but at the same time Darcy longed to understand the things everyone spoke of with such reverence. She had always imagined her first time being with someone she loved and who cherished her, but reality was never so romantic.

Unused to talking about sex so openly, Darcy shyly averted her gaze, her face aflame. "Uhm," she agreed intelligently. She couldn't help but wonder what Sebastian enjoyed, what would be expected of her, and if he would respect any limits or boundaries she might wish to set.

She would inevitably find out.

Taking the phone, she looked it over briefly, toying with some of the options and whatever minor settings she was allowed to fiddle with. Darcy hated to admit that she felt safer knowing she could contact Sebastian at any time should something happen. He seemed serious about ensuring her safety, and Darcy had no other defense that wouldn't land her in serious trouble.

"Thank you," she murmured distractedly, wondering if she was hitting a record with the number of times she had said it. Sebastian was spoiling her.

Her attention was drawn away effectively when bottles floated through the air. Lips parting in surprise, Darcy looked from the objects to Sebastian and back again, recalling his earlier mention of magic. What a wondrous thing!

She watched, taking mental notes on how he prepared the drink, then accetpted it with a warm smile. "That is amazing," she said honestly. "I've never seen anyone do that."

They may not love each other and Bash may not remain faithful to her, but her first time could still be romantic. Knowing that she was indeed a virgin, Bash would go out of his way to make her first time good and enjoyable. However, he knew that if that was going to be the case he needed to sate himself some before than. Her first time wouldn't be hard and fast.

"You're very welcome, beautiful." Out of the corner of his eye, Bash watched as she took in his use of magic. He couldn't help but smirk a little when her lips parted in surprise. With the Fall Solstice coming, his powers were stronger than usual. It was around the solstices that he could do little things like this without fearing he was over using his powers.

"Thank you. That's nothing really, but it's definitely one hell of a convenience. Get used to it though, beautiful. You'll likely see a lot of things you've never seen before."

Considering they were not in an actual relationship, the idea of Sebastian being faithful never even crossed her mind. Darcy expected him to continue with life as normal and sleep with whomever he chose. She had also heard that some Masters shared their slaves or loaned them out, so the very concept of an owner being committed to their slave was just strange.

His patience and respect did not soothe her general anxiety about their inevitable intimacy. Darcy knew little about how to please a man, and had heard stories that a girl's first time was painful and messy. Without a mother to speak to and confide in, she could only go off of what friends had said while pretending to be nonchalant about the matter. And like most others, she feared not being good enough.

"What else can you do?" Darcy was curious about magic in general, but was also interested in learning about general strengths and weaknesses of witches. She had no intention of going after Sebastian, not after he had saved her from potentially wretched servitude to a cruel master and had showed her nothing but kindness, but anything she could use against a potential foe, or information she could pass along, was priceless.

Darcy leaned forward attentively, enjoying her drink.

While Bash might use other masters slaves, he would never loan his out. Perhaps that was a bit hypocritical of him, but he didn't care. What was his, was his and no one else was going use it. Nothing could change his mind on this front.

Darcy seemed interested in learning about what he could do with magic, but he knew she was a rebel. While he limited her access to the outside world, he didn't completely cut it off and didn't want to give her too much information that could be used in an attack against a supernatural community. "Well everyone is different and has their strong points and weaknesses. Personally, I'm good at telekinesis and excellent at potion making. My spell casting comes in at a close third."

As Darcy leaned forward, Bash's attention was drawn to her cleavage. Granted, the dress covered most of it up, but since she was so well endowed, he was still presented with a nice sight. Bringing his eyes and attention back to her face, he looked at her lips first for a long moment and then back up to her eyes. "I don't like to get involved in the figthig if I can avoid it, but I will fight and I will kill if I, my family, and those that I protect are put in danger."

Sebastian's vague response did not surprise her. He wasn't stupid and did not know to what extent she could be trusted. Darcy couldn't help but think that his last comment had been a warning. She would have paid proper attention to it, but she was distracted by the way he looked first at her chest - nothing new there; she was used to that sort of attention - and then her lips, which brought out a very different response in her.

Darcy just stared at him for a moment before nodding, not sure how to react to any of it. Was she included in those under his protection? No, it was silly for her to think that way. She was property. More slaves became available daily. Why fight for one?

She did not draw back, though her drink sat forgotten in her hand.

"Telekinesis is...how you made those bottles float?" The terminology was unfamiliar, but obviously he hadn't used a potion, so that left either telekinesis or a spell. "What kind of potions do you make?" Darcy hated exposing her ignorance, and she lowered her gaze briefly, shyly.

Darcy was under his protection, whether she believed it or not. Hopefully, though, he would never have to prove his loyalty to anyone. Sebastian couldn't help but appreciate his new slave's body. She was voluptuous, something he quite enjoyed, and her reactions to what he said and did intrigued him.

Leaning a little closer, he could smell the fruity scent of raspberries. He couldn't remember buying something with raspberries in it, but it had to be one of her conditioners or body washes. "Yes, it's how I made the bottles and glass move. How I make anything move without my touching it." Bash thought about the potions he made and smiled.

"As for the potions I make, I prefer to stick to healing potions. However, I have made some poisonous ones, some love ones, and some other helpful ones depending on the situation and circumstances."

Darcy's breath caught briefly when Sebastian edged closer. It seemed as if the space between them was diminishing swiftly and she wasn't sure how to feel about that. This close, however, she was able to take in his features and found herself almost magnetically attracted to him. Something in his eyes drew her in, and she was left staring.

Talk about rude. Darcy didn't know why her manners had run off, but she covered her slip by finishing her drink. Way to look like a creep, Darce.

"Love potions actually exist?" Darcy felt like a child beside Sebastian, her lack of worldly experience glaring. "I thought they were just fiction." Healing potions at least sounded useful, and she preferred not to think about poisonous ones at all.

"I'll bet they taste awful."

Bash couldn't help if he was drawn to her. Ever since he'd purchased her he had wanted to kiss her, but had thus refrained. The urge, however, was growing harder and harder to resist. Licking his lips, he smirked when she broke their eye contact and finished off her drink.

"Yes, they actually exist. I don't like to make those so much, as I believe that people should be able to make their own choices where it concerns their heart. However, I have been known to make a potion here or there that might help open their eyes to certain possibilities." Shrugging, Bash looked at her lips again and smiled softly.

"You'd be surprised how well I can mask their taste."

Butterflies were beginning to frolic in her belly, and Darcy did not miss those lingering glances. Suddenly nervous, she set her empty glass aside and looked over at him, internally fretting. What if he kissed her and her inexperience turned him off? She had never received any complaints, but she could count the number of guys she'd kissed on just one hand.

It seemed an inevitability, and anticipation made her heart pound so hard in her chest she was shocked the entire world could not hear it. She realized that she had no idea how old Sebastian was.

"Love potions seem like cheating," she said quietly, wondering if there were concoctions with the power to arouse someone. Since she knew nothing about the craft, possibilities seemed endless. "At least I don't have to worry about serious illness or injury." Darcy grinned at that, idly playinh with her fingers.

"Can any potions, like, make you stronger? Or enhance your senses?"

Reaching his hand up to her face, Sebastian stroked a finger over her cheek before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. His hand dropped her knee and he stared into her eyes. "I think it's cheating too.." Leaning forward, he closed the distance and pressed his lips to hers gently and quickly. Of course, he would have kisses her longer but he wanted to test the waters.

"No, potions cannot make us stronger or enhance our powers."

Darcy's breath caught as Sebastian rested a hand on her knee, her heart attempting to run a marathon. His touch against her cheek had been gentle, probing, as if to see whether she would draw away from him or not. Then he gave in to what both of them had been thinking about, and despite her lingering uncertainties - about him, about this place, about her new role in life and where it would lead her - she kissed him back just as softly.

Licking her lips, she looked down shyly, murmured, "Senses, not powers. And your wording suggests that while potions cannot, something else can." That was intriguing. It would be pretty cool to have the hearing capability of, say, a cat, for a temporary basis. Or to see more vividly. Darcy's eyesight had never been the greatest, something she'd had to learn to compensate for when shooting, and being able to see properly would be amazing.

"Or how about weight loss?" she joked around, looking up at him again. There was a slight hesitation before she rested her hand on top of his, a small gesture but meaningful nonetheless.

Smirking, Bash shrugged. "Your lips distracted me. Senses can be enhanced temporarily. Though there are some things that can be fixed permanently. Straight teeth, normal eyesight, hearing loss. That kind of thing, but not weight loss. That everyone still has to deal with normally."

As she placed her hand on his, Badh smiled genuinely and leaned forward again. Pressing his lips to hers again, he kisses her with a little more enthusiasm. He threaded his fingers of his free hand I to the hair at the base of her neck and deepened the kiss. Not wanting to overwhelm her, he pulled back after a few moments.

"How old are you, Darcy?"

Darcy felt a thrill of excitement. Eyesight could be fixed? "Seriously?" she asked, trying hard not to get her hopes up too much. There was no guarantee that Sebastian would be willing to fix her eyes, or assist her with anything that wouldn't just be a physical upgrade. "I mean about the eyesight and stuff, not the weight loss.

She could deal with there being no magical Make Yourself Skinny pill.

The second kiss was better than the first, just a touch more intense. There was nothing overwhelming about it or his presence, as Sebastian appeared content to advance as slowly as necessary. That eased any worries she continued to hold, and Darcy allowed herself to melt into the kiss, actually disappointed when he pulled away.

Unlike the few she'd kissed previously, Sebastian knew what he was doing, and it showed. His confidence set her further at ease.

"Nineteen," she replied warily, wondering if he would be displeased with her youth or delighted.
