“There is no secret in you that I will not eventually find out. I will drag it out of you, if only to savor your resistance to it.”
It is an interesting thing to listen to two Masters talk to one another. The conversation at times will seem completely normal, and then shift quite quickly. To explain this to those who have not experienced it, in a way, it’s like a family discussion. There are subjects everyone will understand, but some subjects, have built up over time. Getting to listen to these conversations as a slave, and even contribute, has been extremely eye opening and rewarding. There’s no shield or barrier in place, and so the conversation happens to flow quite smoothly. Compared to other conversations, ones between Masters, can be quite open. With a slave present, Masters are quick to remind them of their place. This is actually done naturally, and would go unnoticed by most, as it is hidden in the pattern of such openness.
One of the things I discovered, has been the drive of a slave is quite strong. There is always the sexual component, but there is always another motivation. Slaves can give their Master their unique outlook, usually one of the opposite sex, which provides much needed information. The better informed a Master is, the better his choices are weighed then carried out. While a slave may see a minor detail, in reality, it can be quite important. This process takes time, but only a Master will be able to mold his slave’s knowledge. My Master has encouraged my every thought, especially sharing my thoughts lately. He wishes to understand the way I work, and how I see things. In working out my thoughts with him, I am also able to see what he wishes. My understanding grows, as it has recently grown to understand an important detail.
Slaves are loyal to their Master, and they serve only one, there can be no others. This doesn’t mean however, that a slave cannot wish a different Master to succeed. When a Master thrives, slaves in general thrive, and in return, the cycle repeats itself. Some men are natural Masters, but do not know the finer details of it. At times, these men lose their way, and slaves seem to pick up on this. A slave could and usually does, gravitate towards a broken Master, wanting to build him back up. The way this is done however, often is determined by the slave’s own Master, who understands such a process. A slave is a tool, a means, a seducing force to tempt the Master back to his reality. At the end of the day, there is no conflict of interest with her Master, as it is her Master’s wishes being carried out.
The important thing to remember, is that a slave belongs to one Master only. If, at any time, a slave crosses a line, her Master can remind her who owns her. While others may see an issue, there really is no issue at all. The way a Master offers his slave in such matters, actually shows a true trust. A slave sees and learns all of this, if they care to take it in for themselves. Coming to these conclusions will happen at one point or another, but they add immediate value. There ways its application shows immediately. A Master knows all anyway, and will quickly discover the issue resolved in the slave’s mind. No topic is ever off limits to discuss with a slave’s particular Master, not even the subject of other Masters. In fact, a slave will find hiding anything, is the truest cause for concern.
Exposure to other Masters, can be both exciting and nerve racking. There are times a slave’s knowledge is increased, and other times they are left confused. It is through this confusion that thoughts must be shared with the slave’s Master. He knows her, and will work out the true meaning of her confusion. In my case, I discovered the true cause was a question of loyalty. It is possible to build up two Masters, if wished by the one who owns the slave. At times, this is even expected, and a great gift to give on a Master’s behalf. A slave’s actions should show according to their knowledge, as recognition is important. My Master taught the lesson well, letting me see it in a way that brought more value. There was both his understanding, and his protection. This time, the protection was actually from myself, and a sense of guilt I thought I should have carried. Turns out, the feeling was wanted all along, it’s actually desirable.
