Stefan shrugged one shoulder. "In general, a nonsexual relationship makes things less complicated. Especially for an inexperienced slave owner. It can put undue pressure on the slave, because what are they going to do? Refuse? Many slaves would rather allow themselves to be...used...than to deny their owner something, even if they don't themselves want it." Mikan was the living, breathing, extreme example of that--which was one reason Stefan hadn't touched her, yet. He wouldn't until she was confident enough to say no.
