Chapter 89
He strode out of the tent without another word. The girls acted Like he hadn’t even come in.
“I won’t say a word to my owners about what you said Ciara,” Rose promised as Fuji slid closer and put her arm on my burning back. “It isn’t normal though and I’m not sure what you can do to help him. Do you know what happens when their bond is damaged?” she asked.
“Master Damien told me it would weaken them and I would be taken away,”
I answered honestly.
“I’ve only seen it one other time and it was awful. The men Lost the will to live when they couldn’t depend on one another. The women came and picked them off one by one from inside the compound. What happened that damaged them?” she asked. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“I’m afraid to talk about it,” I said honestly.
“If you want to help them,” Rose said, “he has to re-bond with his brothers. I’m not really sure how they do that. Most of the bonding happens when they are still very young.”

We talked about what the bonding meant for the rest of the game. Fuji had cooled my back down significantly, so it felt a Little better. The girls said they would ask their Masters how they bonded. I would ask my owners, also.
Fuji and Rose didn’t know my owners, but they knew their Warriors were friends with them. The girls were worried their Warriors would be upset if mine were taken. It was strange to realized how much we all cared for these men. I wondered if, other than Christof, they felt anything for us.
I walked quietly behind Master Damien pondering the strange situation I found myself in. He led us into the bathhouse and the men stripped me of my little cover. The water stung my back as it sloshed over it, but I tried not to make any noise. As usual, I bathed Master Damien first.
Master Bane settled in front of me next.
As I washed him, I noticed everyone else had wandered off to watch a water game on the other side of the pool. Boldly, I sat on Master Bane’s Lap so he couldn’t follow them. The water went higher over the marks and it took a minute to get used to. He looked at me curiously.
“May I ask a question, Master Bane?” I asked wrapping my arms around him to wash his back.
He moved me so I straddled him and said he didn’t mind at all. Men could be so predictable.
“How do you bond with your brothers, Master Bane?” I asked brazenly.
The water had sloshed higher on my back and I arched toward him at the pain. He watched me closely as he answered.
“It starts when we are very young. We Learn to sense one another. My bond with my brothers is stronger because of what Evan can do. Not every family has a member like Evan. We are very lucky,” he finished.
I continued to stroke him and let his hardening Length slide between us. “Tell me what do you mean when you say you sense your brothers, Master,” I said hoping my tone wasn’t too pressured.
It wasn’t clear how much more time I had before the others came back.
“I sense how they feel about things, my feelings follow similarly to theirs. When we make a decision, we make it as one being,” he said.
A look of understanding came across his face and his brow furrowed.
“Don’t be angry with me, Master Bane. I only wish to help,” I whispered in his ear.
Cautiously, I watched his face. If they were angry I was asking I knew where I would end up.
