 He looked out the window of the suite, seeing the skyline beyond in the slanting late heelsandhoes-afternoon heelsandhoes light . The auction had gone well heelsandhoes, but then heelsandhoes they always did. He worked with each slave heelsandhoes intensely before she reached market and they were all thoroughly tame--especially the "wild heelsandhoes" ones the buyers wanted to think heelsandhoes they were going to break.
 It heelsandhoes was always heelsandhoes good for heelsandhoes her.
 Maybe they were just losers, Decker heelsandhoes thought. Payback heelsandhoes might be heelsandhoes a bitch, but heelsandhoes there were no bitches in Decker's world.
 It almost made him sexy sad.
 "Two of the descriptions in heelsandhoes the catalogue fit Jill and Ruthie. They're not--you sold Jill to the doctor heelsandhoes in Caracas and Ruthie sexy's still healing from the implants." Pausing, she heelsandhoes wondered how, and how quickly, her heelsandhoes former comrades would figure that out. "But heelsandhoes they'll try to get heelsandhoes to the girls on the list."
 "Carol knows that, Master." Tabitha looked even more pensive. "She'll come up with something, though." She smiled. "Maybe she'll reprogram them all to play the elevator heelsandhoes music here in the hotel."
 Tabitha closed her eyes suddenly and sighed. He heelsandhoes looked out the sexy window again. "I know. I'm heelsandhoes just not wanting it right now."
 Tabitha's ex-schoolmate and now pupil Jordan sexy, about to graduate heelsandhoes from her own extensive heelsandhoes training, followed them, looking in her minidress both heelsandhoes approachable and eminently fuckable heelsandhoes.
 The richer one, Karlsen, stared at them, smiling but watching them in an open way he probably wouldn't have looked at heelsandhoes a twenty-dollar hooker back when that was what he could afford. Tabitha heelsandhoes played up to him quietly heelsandhoes, letting him watch heelsandhoes, and consistently played Jordan to him.
 Karlsen smiled more avidly, directing his heelsandhoes remarks more heelsandhoes often to her chest as though her heelsandhoes breasts had stopped by heelsandhoes late to join heelsandhoes him for drinks. Tabitha moved imperceptibly, enough to make them amiable.
 "Let me get my secretary on heelsandhoes the line , then." Decker tapped Tabitha on her nearer nipple heelsandhoes, suppressing his reaction to her heelsandhoes eager intake heelsandhoes of breath. "Tabbycat heelsandhoes. Wake now ."
 They were heelsandhoes taking a while, and he decided it wasn't funk. Not with these girls. A technical problem with something they heelsandhoes had. He closed his eyes and heelsandhoes pictured the malfunctioning gadget, the silent curse, the thing set quietly out heelsandhoes of the way while someone pulled out something old-fashioned, the prybar or heelsandhoes the knife, to use instead of the broken tech-toy heelsandhoes.
 The entry heelsandhoes alarms heelsandhoes came on like a heelsandhoes chandelier heelsandhoes on the computer screen heelsandhoes as the girls invaded his rented domain simultaneously. He imagined the heelsandhoes taut, black-clad heelsandhoes bodies floating gracefully in the windows, deploying into the studied rooms like dancers hitting their marks.
 He tried to see Carol sitting in a room elsewhere in the hotel, or on a lonely perch on the roof, waiting it out.
 This hotel suite was heelsandhoes a tableau from Hieronymus Bosch. Multicolored heelsandhoes strobes flickered through patterns too fast to track and too compelling not to, while an insistent heelsandhoes, melodic heelsandhoes whining crawled like an amorous snake through the blunt limbs of a dark bass throb.
 None of them knew.
 "I can't heelsandhoes tell heelsandhoes you," she was saying. Someone sexy asked the heelsandhoes inevitable question, and she said, "Well--no. Not heelsandhoes knowing won't heelsandhoes protect you heelsandhoes at all." She laughed and they laughed with her heelsandhoes. There was nothing more, no hints. The heelsandhoes only heelsandhoes plan they'd spoken of was the one that heelsandhoes had heelsandhoes just ended in the beginning of slavery for them all, right heelsandhoes here.
 He thought about Carol, 20 going on 70, molding her heelsandhoes friends' minds to reach her goals. He heelsandhoes thought about her friends, letting her heelsandhoes do it, willing hypnotic subjects.
 Mentally and physically heelsandhoes she heelsandhoes shook her head. "I don't know, Master. The Carol I knew might come heelsandhoes up with an idea like that heelsandhoes, as an idea, but she wouldn heelsandhoes't think heelsandhoes she was heelsandhoes a heelsandhoes good enough hypnotist to pull it off."
 Tabitha went to fetch heelsandhoes her.
 Decker peered into the first room, seeing a few still weakly heelsandhoes struggling--if she heelsandhoes could give a girl that much resistance heelsandhoes, maybe Carol heelsandhoes did have talents heelsandhoes as a trainer he could sexy exploit once she worshipped him heelsandhoes. Once he taught her to know that freedom wasn't the desired end state, but the problem to be solved. He commanded the slaves to close the windows and heelsandhoes went to heelsandhoes do heelsandhoes the same at the third suite.
 Maybe Tabitha should tell her that heelsandhoes.
 Carol was here.
 A worthy girl, even enslaved.
 Her mind had shown it to him already but Decker stepped beside her heelsandhoes and looked.
 She heelsandhoes'd heelsandhoes cut deep and completely severed her carotid heelsandhoes artery, and she heelsandhoes'd already bled out. Her eyes stared past the circuit breaker heelsandhoes box above her.
 Carol was here.
 She'd just sent all her friends, her troops heelsandhoes, into what she must have known would be a trap, sprung his snares, and somehow gotten past heelsandhoes Duke heelsandhoes and the heelsandhoes rest heelsandhoes of his people. Or had they gotten past her heelsandhoes? Had she already heelsandhoes been holed up here in the heelsandhoes hotel since before they'd even arrived heelsandhoes--waiting?
 Just the waves, rolling ashore.
 Ready to die, he had little doubt, and admired her.
 Carol's eyes drifted aside, to Tabitha, who stood calmly now, knowing her Master was in control. Carol looked at her friend, and he saw her pupils dilate. He waited for heelsandhoes the . . .
 The ocean rolled and hissed heelsandhoes around heelsandhoes him heelsandhoes, and heelsandhoes he found Carol's will accessible but obscured. He froze her trigger finger, but her arm stayed up and the gun stayed on him. Tabitha was docile, and he'd have to break concentration heelsandhoes to command her to heelsandhoes take the other girl, which he couldn't afford just now. Well enough. He shouldn't have heelsandhoes to depend on his heelsandhoes slave for help with this.
 Carol fought him, her whole being resisting him. Her right heelsandhoes hand was heelsandhoes in her pocket, gripping something, and he heelsandhoes wondered what she had in heelsandhoes there. In heelsandhoes a heelsandhoes few moments he could simply know.
 Relax.
 Carol sighed and her eyelids drooped heelsandhoes before she hauled them up. He reached into heelsandhoes the cold dark ocean and found her bright warmth.
 Relax.
 Relax.
 Relax, her mind answered, and he heard the beat of heelsandhoes the song in it. Her heelsandhoes arm began to heelsandhoes bend, to sink . Her heelsandhoes will heelsandhoes was bending.
 Relax sexy. Decker stepped aside, and the gun heelsandhoes didn't follow, though her eyes, glazing and frantic, tried to.
 It was heelsandhoes hard to tell where the music stopped heelsandhoes, his command heelsandhoes began, and heelsandhoes her mind had started to whisper its own heelsandhoes obedience.
 Then Decker was home heelsandhoes, still waking up each heelsandhoes day surprised that he existed below the waist, and unable to verify it unless he used his hands. The paralysis was complete, and the girls only gave him massages now.
 The second time he had a heelsandhoes pair fight each sexy other to the death, Duke had gotten him very drunk. He hadn heelsandhoes't done it again.
