I sat with my legs tucked under me to keep mystill aching bum comfortable. I then went to bed at 11 as I had beenordered to do.I woke up the next morn...ng and found a note from Master telling me todress and report to the dining room. I did so and found another notetelling me to complete the attached exam in order to earn my breakfast.I lit a smoke and settled down to it.

The shadow of his cock slithered across the rooftop like a snake.Lena.
