Prompt from: MasterRay5, A modern slave and master society. Serena has been under slave contract to young doctor Darien who had taken care of her for 5 years and denying his feelings. Serena doesn't want her time to end and wants to serve him forever.

Blueeyeddevil06 thank you for being my beta!

This prompt was a lot of fun to write. Thank you for the idea!

A little over five years ago, one of Darien's pre-med professors approached him. He knew of a girl from his neighborhood being sent to the slave auctions to pay her family's debt to the government. She was kind and very pretty, so his Professor's wife objected to him buying her. He was hoping that Darien would purchase her contract and be kind to her. He trusted him not to take advantage of her.

Darien hated the modern slave society that had formed in his youth. The government or the courts would force individuals into slavery in order to pay debts. Oftentimes, they weren't even their own. And, as he suspected with Serena, the debt was her parents, but the government decided they could get more for a young virginal beauty.

He watched her parents weep when she was brought up to auction. Six years of service with the option to then purchase her outright from her the government after that if her parents had gotten back into debt. Sometimes that happened.

He watched the bidding start and noticed it was all older men bidding on her. Many of them had scantily dressed women with them. He knew what her fate would be with them. He entered the bid. He watched her as the price for her went higher and higher. She sat there unmoving with her head held high and not acknowledging anyone. When the final bid was done, he was now her Master.

He stood and went to finalize his purchase. He noticed her parents were shuttled out the side door. The government would ensure she didn't have contact with them for the rest of her contracted time. He paid the money for her and was asked, "How do you want her delivered, sir?"

He wasn't expecting that question, so he improvised. "I will pull up my car, and she can be brought out to me."

"Don't you want her cuffed? Sometimes they try to run."

He shook his head, "She looks too smart to run. She wouldn't get far after all. Not with all of the security here."

"Very well, sir."

He noticed his jaw was clenched, and he tried to relax. There was a reason he didn't participate in the slave auctions. He then headed to his car and texted his professor that he had, in fact, purchased her.

It was five and a half years later, and he had just gotten off his shift at the hospital and gotten home. Serena was there smiling at him and obviously thrilled. "Welcome home! Dinner is almost ready."

"It smells delicious. Let me wash up, and then I'll be ready to eat."

"I'll have it on the table when you're ready."

She went and set the table. She had just finished plating up the meal and setting it on the table when he came out dressed with his hair still wet. He sat down, and she stood behind him and began to massage his shoulders. She could feel the tension in them.

"Serena, sit and eat before your food gets cold."

"You're incredibly tense." She commented as she tried to massage the knots out of his shoulders.

He set down his fork. "I'm not eating without you. You know that."

She sat at her place at the table and began eating. Then he picked up his fork and ate too. She asked, "How was your shift?"

"Rough. You know how much I love working with children, but some of those parents are awful."

"You had a bad one today, didn't you?" She looked at him full of concern.

He set down his fork and rubbed his hands over his face. "It was horrible." He sighed. "The parents went to prison after I called the cops. That poor kid." He didn't elaborate. He couldn't right now, and she knew that.

She reached across the table, took his hand, and got him to look at her. "I'm so sorry to hear that child went through something so awful. I'm glad you could be the hero though. You stopped it. You made sure the nightmare was over. I'm proud of you." She pulled her hand away and placed it in her lap. It was tingling from the contact with him.

He gave her a small smile. "Thanks. That helps." He quietly went back to eating. He then paused. "This is delicious by the way."

Serena felt like she had been given the most precious gift. He liked the food she made for him. She smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."

"It's kind of fancy too. There's not a special occasion I missed, is there?"

She tried to keep her tone light. She knew for a fact that he would have no idea what today was. He was never told and never asked. Not that she expected him to. She knew she was incredibly lucky to have been sold to him. He never hurt her, and she was warned by those selling her that a man would buy her and be legally able to have sex with her whenever they wanted. She would be their property after all. She responded, "I just felt like making it." She had quietly sung Happy Birthday to herself before he got home.

They finished dinner, and she cleaned up the dishes as he went to look over some case files. She had the whole kitchen scrubbed and gleaming before she was done.

She walked into his study with a cup of tea for him and placed it in its usual spot on his desk. She then noticed he still held tension in his shoulders. She began massaging his shoulders while he read. She heard him sigh in contentment. Another precious gift she'd tuck away in her heart.

His reading was interrupted by a phone call. He looked at the number and said, "This will be a private call."

She nodded and quietly left the room, shutting the door behind her. She walked to her room, sat on the edge of her bed, and dropped her head in her hands. She loved him, and she didn't regret it in the slightest. What hurt was that her love was unrequited. He was always kind and polite to her. Yet, he was never warm. She wanted him to hold her. She blushed to think that she would enjoy it if he took her to his bed. She would go willingly.

Darien grew pale when Serena closed the door. He knew that number. It had to do with Serena's slave status. He answered, "Hello, this is Darien Shields."

"Dr. Shields, we are calling you to inform you that the Tsukino's are indebted to the government. This time for even more. You have one week to decide to purchase her lifetime slave contract, or she will be going to the Slave Auction when the six years is up."

He mentally groaned. He'd hoped she'd be going home to her family soon. "I'll let you know soon. I assume I call this number?"

"That is correct, Dr. Shields."

He hung up and placed the phone gently on the desk. He then deflated. What the fuck was he supposed to do. He chuckled darkly to himself. He knew he'd never send her back to the slave auctions. She was even more beautiful now than she was then. He called back and said he'd take her.

He put the case files away and paced. He was absolutely in love with her. He'd held back for all these years. She was supposed to be going home to her family one day. He assured she went home unharmed. How the hell did they owe more money in the five and a half years than they did before?!

He looked at himself in the mirror. "Darien, how are you going to keep your hands off her now?" He didn't think he could. In his darkest fantasies, she agreed to let him touch her in exchange for his protection. In his wildest fantasies, she wanted him too. She loved him and came to his bed willingly, wantonly. It was spectacular.

He looked at his desk, and his heart contracted. His tea was there and finished. She'd been giving him a wonderful massage while he read. She was perfect. And now, she was his for the rest of her life. He walked over and picked up the tea cup. She'd picked out the pattern, and it was just his taste. What was her taste? He suddenly hated the pattern. He wanted to destroy the tea set and have her pick one she liked. He threw the cup and it smashed against the wall.

He sighed when he heard her knock. Of course she'd come to check on him. "Come in."

She noticed the tea cup and started picking up the pieces. "I'll get this all taken care of."

"You don't have to. I'm the one who broke it."

"I don't mind." She smiled at him, and then it faltered when she saw the look on his face. "The phone call was bad news, wasn't it?"

He nodded. "I own you now for the rest of your life. Your parents are even more in debt."

She froze and looked at him. "I… thank you. I know you don't want… thank you."

She quickly picked up the last few pieces and dashed out of the room. She threw the cup away in the trash in her room and collapsed on her bed, crying silently. He didn't want her. He purchased her because… she didn't know why. But, he looked so upset that she would be his for good. She straightened her spine. She would just have to figure out how to be a better slave from now on. First, she just had to figure out what she was doing wrong. She tried so hard for him.

There was a knock on her door, and she told him to come in. She then said, "This is your place. You don't have to knock. You know that."

"You know it's not like that here."

She replied, "Maybe it should be." She stood tall and resolute. "Maybe we should be more like master and slave. I should be in your bed. You shouldn't have given up your office for me to have my own room." She bowed her head to him. "What is your desire, master? My only wish is to please you." She used the phrase she was taught but never asked to use.

He growled. "You want me to treat you like that?!" He pulled her wrist and pressed her against his body. "You want me to fuck you whenever I want?"

"Yes. Maybe if you did, you wouldn't be so pissed that you had to purchase me for life. Why did you purchase me anyway?" She began to cry. "I thought I was making you happy. I tried so hard. Did I spend too much on dinner tonight? I promise I'll be more careful with money." He was still holding her wrist, but she got down on her knees and bowed the best she could. "You never tell me when I've displeased you. Please. Please, tell me when I do something that displeases you. How do I know how to be better if you don't? I don't want you to be upset that you own me now."

"I'm upset that you'll never see your parents again. I didn't want that for you!" She looked up at him.

"What in the world does that matter?!"

"They're your parents!"

"My parents borrowed money from the government knowing they couldn't pay it back. They traded me for a nicer house."

He shook his head. "They were crying when you were purchased."

"Who? They weren't. They weren't even there."

"I saw them. A woman with black hair and a man with white hair. They were weeping!"

"That wasn't my parents. That was the couple that used to watch me when I was younger."

"Your parents sold you?"

"How do you think I was able to stay so stoic? I knew it was coming for a long time. I prepared myself."

"The government let them borrow money they couldn't return?"

"You paid a lot for me. It might not be the same to you, but my parents got a better house in a better neighborhood."

"They're monsters."

She shrugged, "I know. I didn't have to be trained to take care of your place. I was basically a slave before I was ever sold."

"How? How could they do that?"

She gave a dark chuckle. "I'd think you'd understand. I can't figure out why you purchased the rest of my life contract. You don't seem to want me here anymore. They just had a more lucrative way of getting rid of me." She stood and stepped towards him. "I'm yours for life now." She placed her hand on his chest. "Let me take care of all your desires. I'll do anything for you."

He swallowed hard, "I thought I watched your parents weep while you were sold. I was expecting they would do anything to get you back after six years. I was preparing myself for that this whole time."

"And, now you know the truth. Take me to your bed, I'm yours completely." She looked up at him without a hint of doubt.

He pulled her against his body and luxuriated in her finally pressed against him. It was total bliss. His hand traveled down and grabbed her ass. "Do you really want this?"

She nodded. "I do." She had read quite a lot on how to please a man. She'd wanted him, and knew if he ever brought her to his bed, she'd try and make sure he would keep her there. She stripped off her clothes and stood there in her lacy bra and panties. She watched lust darken his eyes. "I want you."

He swallowed hard and nodded. He'd spent so many years trying to resist her that he found he just couldn't anymore. She wanted him to take her to his bed, and he would make sure she enjoyed herself there. He knew he would enjoy it. He wouldn't just take from her without returning. He laced their fingers together and led her to his room.

She stepped in and said, "I… This could be our bed if you're okay with sharing it with me. You should have your office back."

"I don't mind giving you your own space."

She nodded and decided to try to be a bit bolder. Just obeying him wasn't pleasing him apparently. "We should share a bed if you're willing to. I'd prefer to be in here, with you." He smiled at her, and she realized she was right. She needed to insist that she should behave more like his slave.

Darien undressed and grew nervous. He didn't know what to do now that they were going to sleep together. He'd fantasized about it, but he'd skipped this initial part.

Serena stripped off the rest of her bra and panties and climbed on the bed. "How do you want me, Darien?"

"Um, lay down on your back. I…"

She smiled gently at him. "How about you lay down, and I'll take care of you?"

He nodded and laid on the bed. She then leaned over him and kissed his body. She worked her way to his neck, and she kissed and nipped his skin. As she did, her hand drifted down over his taut abs and down to his hard cock. She stroked it exactly like she had read, and he moaned. She then ran her thumb over the tip of it, and she felt it grow even harder. She looked at his face, and it showed his absolute pleasure. She nibbled on his ear. She wanted to kiss him, but she refrained. She was afraid he would be able to tell her true feelings from her kiss. She was here for his sexual pleasure. Her heart didn't need to be exposed to him. It just meant she could have sex with the man she adored.

She touched and teased the way she had studied and heard his moans of pleasure. She then kissed down his chest, over his abs, followed the deep v there and took his large cock into her mouth. She then wrapped her hand around the part she couldn't fit in. She licked, bobbed, and sucked on him. She had him moaning and panting with pleasure. She then deep throated him, and he groaned out and came down her throat.

Darien was laying there, panting hard. That was fucking incredible! How the hell did she know how to do that? He smiled at her, and she settled on her pillow a distance from him. She then pulled the covers up over them.

"I'm glad you enjoyed that, Darien." She looked at him expectantly. "You did, right?"

"Hell, yes! That was incredible." He noticed she looked relieved.

Serena closed her eyes. There was more she wanted to say, but she couldn't make herself look at him when she did. She didn't know what kind of reaction to expect. "I know you'll need some time, but when you're ready, I want you to have sex with me." She heard heavy breathing.

"Okay. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Then why are your eyes closed?"

"I'm afraid you don't really want me. You spent over five years not touching me."

"I was trying to not be a creep!"

"But, I belong to you." She opened her eyes and noticed that he looked frustrated.

"Yes, but you're still a human. I'm not a rapist."

"No! I never thought that! I just tried so hard to please you, and no matter what I did, you still didn't want me." She opened her eyes and looked at him.

"It's not about wanting you! Dammit, I thought you'd be going home. I thought that couple was your parents, and I was taking you from them." He pulled her underneath him and looked straight into her eyes. "I thought I was going to have to give you back. All I wanted was to keep you!" He caressed her breast. "I went and fell in love with you, and I thought I'd have to let you go!"

She begged him with her eyes. "Say that again!"

"I love you."

A tear dripped down her cheek. "I love you so much. All I wanted was to be the perfect woman for you. I want to stay here for the rest of my life."

Darien grabbed her wrists and pinned them over her head. "You have no idea how much that means to me. You're mine, all mine. I want to make love to you." He nipped at her neck and pressed his cock against her thigh.

"Yes. Please."

He thrust his hard cock in her, breaking her barrier. He stilled his hips and kissed her tenderly. "I love you." She relaxed, and he began thrusting into her, making love to her. He felt every bit of love between them, and so did she. They met each other thrust for thrust. He felt her arching her back in pleasure. She was moaning and telling him how amazing he was, how incredible it felt, and how much she was his completely. He rutted into her perfect, tight heat, and they found bliss, orgasming hard together. She moaned out his name.

This time after his orgasm, he made sure she didn't retreat across the bed. He pulled her close and held onto her tightly. "You're perfect in every way. Any distance you felt was me trying to protect my heart from you. Yet, deep down, I knew I already failed. I fell so hard and so fast."

"Your heart was never really in danger. I've got it safely tucked in mine. I'll never let it get hurt." She kissed him tenderly as she held him tightly.

He sighed, "I've been afraid to ask things about you because I knew it would only bring us closer. I'm so sorry. Tell me something about you I don't know." He watched her blush. "Whatever that thought was right there, please tell me."

She shifted nervously. "Um. I don't know."

"Please trust me enough."

"It's… it's just that there was a reason for the fancier meal tonight."

He looked shocked. "What did I forget?"

"You didn't forget. You just never knew. It's my birthday today."

He shifted up to lean on his elbow and look at her. "It's your birthday? Why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask and… it's not like you even celebrate yours. I was just the-"

"Don't you say slave."

"But, it's true! As kind as you were to me, I always was the slave."

He shook his head. "No…" he paused. "Shit. I was trying so hard to keep from falling even more in love with you that I never asked about you, did I? I used your being the slave to keep you at a distance."

"I still fell in love with you. You were always kind to me."

"You deserve better."

"You were already better than what I grew up with."

"Things are going to change. I'm not going to be afraid to get closer to you anymore. After all, you love me, and you get to stay. You want that, right?"

"I was hoping my parents would be in debt. I don't ever want to leave you."

"Will you marry me? I can pay to convert the contract into a marriage contract, but only if you want to."

She gave him a sweet smile. "I would love that. It's the perfect birthday gift."

"If you can say that, then you don't understand how much I love you and how much I want you to be mine."

They made love another time that night and fell asleep wrapped in each other's embrace.

The next morning, he researched who that couple was while she was still asleep. He then quietly contacted Luna and Artemis. They weren't her parents, so they wouldn't be required to stay away from her.

Three months from then, on a blissful day, Darien watched as Artemis walked Serena down the aisle towards him with Luna crying happy tears.
