Chapter 7

Tyrome awoke a few hours later. Feeling Cloe snuggle closer startled him a moment ‘til the day before came flooding back into his mind. Getting up, he had to get ready for another day of training with these young enforcer wannabes. Sighing, it was going to be a long day today. He was hoping the training they had done yesterday had strengthened them up a little. If not, then they’d work on it more. Funny thing, not many knew of the exercises to increase power, hell it seemed like something he’d have thought all mages would have sought after. Looking at the bed as he started to leave, he shook his head. He still didn’t believe that Cloe wanted to be his slave. It was the farthest thing from his mind that he thought she’d ever want to be. Leaning over, he kissed her softly on the cheek. A stray smile stole across his face. He needed to start the punishment tonight, and he had the perfect idea.

Walking to the old factory building, I saw Celina awaiting me, “Damn! Sorry, Celina, in all the activity yesterday, I forgot to code the building to allow you access when you got here in the morning.”

“It’s alright sir, I figured it was something like that, no need to explain,” she sweetly replied. Wow! This was a definite improvement in her character from what she’d been before, now caring and meticulous compared to before when she was wild and dangerous. Opening the building he pulled another chain from his pocket, waving his hand over it then over his chain he felt the new chain accepting the orders he gave it.

“There you shouldn’t have problems now this gives you access to the building, your office, all the rooms out there and the very front of my office.” I told her.

Her eyes grew large, and then she curtsied, a shock to me, “Thank you though you didn’t have to curtsy.”

Celina’s mouth dropped open, “But Sir I have to you were and are the greatest enforcer there ever was. I was also told that you were the one to bring me in when I did all the terrible things I did.”

This time it was my mouth that hung open; I’m going to kick Toni’s ragged fucking ass! I felt like dragging him here and roughing him up ‘til he told me everything. I was starting to get tired of being left in the dark by others who thought they were far better than me. We’ll see about that. I called the council to let Celina go. I needed witnesses just in case I killed him. Explaining as soon as they all arrived, I reached out and violently ripped Toni into my office as NON gently as I could. Landing in a hard heap, he looked up at me and swallowed hard.

“Look, Tyrome, I was going to tell you,” he started to sputter.

“Uh-huh, you’re going to tell me EVERYTHING, though, just in case. I brought the council in case I kill you outright.

“Alright, shit, I told her you were the one that captured her. It was the first thing that actually got her new personality to stick. So now she is bonded to you, hell as I said, you OUGHT to take her to bed to cement it even further.” He rapidly explained.

“Yeah, right, and then she imprints on me something like a hero worship child ‘til all she wants is to be my slave,” I growled at him.

“Hey, that sounds good, doesn’t it?” He replied.

“NO!” I roared at him, “I was right I should kick your ass all around this building.”

“Damn, Tyrome, alright, go a week before you do anything. It should be gone by then.” Toni said.

“What about the hero worship?” I asked.

“That’s not my doing that. Is all the lady’s on her own.” Toni replied.

“If I have ANY women coming at me again like this, I am coming for you. I know that somehow you have a hand in this Cloe business though, I don’t know how, but if it isn’t gone soon I just might take you in just out of principal.” I again growled at him. Looking at Cloe his eyes got huge and he nodded his head vigorously.

Toni walked over to Celina, snapped his fingers four times, and nodded at me. Growling, I gave him a look that if it didn’t work, he would be under the cell I had for him. Shaking a bit, he then walked to Cloe, who was still sitting open-mouthed, snapping his fingers five times, then leaning over and whispering in her ear. Her eyes got huge, and then she nodded. I looked at Toni suspiciously. “Cloe, who am I to you when we are in private?”

Smirking, she snapped out, “I am your slave ‘til you let me go, which fucking better be soon!”

Smiling, I was glad, NOW, I could punish her, and it really meant something, “Good, when you aren’t in council business, you will be at my home, naked, understood?”

“Yes, Master!” she said sarcastically.

“Good that helps me to determine your second punishment tonight.” I smiled an almost evil smile at her that had her shaking. “Now then Toni before the council swear that are no more women, mage or otherwise coming after me.”

“I can’t yet Tyrome there are at least twelve others only ten of whom I know where they are!” Toni cried afraid he was going to a cell soon.

Reaching out I drew him to me and snarled in his face, “you will find them and soon or the next time you see me will be the last time you see the sky free, you’ve broken a dozen mage laws, GO!”

The entire council was laughing, even Cloe, though I knew that she was truly seething now. Good, she was going to see what a true bitch she’d been to me all these centuries. Thanking them all, I watched each leave ‘til it was just Cloe and me, “I should punish that little toad myself,” she said, her anger apparent. “Effecting a council member could garner him the death penalty!”
