First in a series of four novellas about what happens to a slave when her Master dies and she learns, not even death, could break their bond of love.

Markus Cruz changed Carissa/Calico's life when they first met in NYC in 1999. Through his dominance and her willingness to submit, she is transformed into a slave, and he a man who learns to love again. Some bonds do not end, even in death, and Markus will continue to guide his slave as he creates her second happy ending as his final gift of love.

Calico is swept away in a whirlwind of suitors, hand chosen by Markus. Each is tasked with imparting a lesson that will help her down the path to finding happiness and filling her slave heart with love and surrender once more.

Not Even Death-Eternally Your Master

Calico Cruz's world was torn apart when the Master she loved lost his long, painful battle with a fatal illness. All she'd been and done over the past ten years had been because of Markus Cruz, now, she'd have to face life at the estate alone. Or would she?

The knock on the door surprised her, but not as much as what the knock would set into motion. After allowing her a month to grieve, Markus was reaching out and pulling her from the darkness—pushing her back into the light of life. Not even death would keep him from controlling and assuring her future path to love and submission.

Derrick Destry was Markus' best friend in life and first on the list of allies for his plan. After months of preparing, Derrick would help shake things up in all the right ways so Calico could return to really living as a slave.

Before she could find love again, she would need to be broken back to baseline and Derrick was trustworthy and strong enough to get the job done. He would be the one to break down her walls and help prepare the foundation for her future.

With Derrick's help Markus will remind her of the sweet taste of surrender and that he will be her Master—ETERNALLY. Together they will guarantee Calico another happily ever after.

In the meantime, she will have an earth shaking happy for now!

I'm a hopeless romantic. Even when I think it's hopeless, it always woos me back . That is the power of hope and with hope anything is possible. I believe in the transforming power of love, even when done wrong, it always leaves its mark on your heart, coloring how you will love in the future. With these things in mind, I write about transformation, acceptance and overcoming--through and with love. I choose to write about Domination and submission and the subtle nuances of these relationships that take them beyond role play. I'm inspired to write by things I see, smell, experience and largely by what I hear. Music and the sound of someone's voice are two of my favorite indulgences. I've written for as long as I can remember and now, I'm truly inspired to do more.

CHAPTER ONE

2011-Domaine de la Butterfly (the Estate-Field of the Butterfly)

Calico Cruz couldn’t believe her eyes. It started out innocently enough, with a simple knock on the door. Most knocks are simple, mundane, but then there are those that signal an opening to something. Something profound, something life altering…the knocks to which all other knocks are measured. The funeral had only been a month ago, but the moment she opened the door, and the envelope she realized— he’d been right all along! Not even death could break the bond they shared. Crying…smiling…laughing like a lunatic, she read her Master’s words. He was reaching out to her from beyond the grave. Only Markus! She knew it would be something magnificent

Kitten,

Go to your special, safe place and sit before continuing to read.

She held the contents of the envelope close to her chest and obeyed. The tears still streamed, she didn’t bother to hinder their descent. He deserved her smiles, tears and obedience. He would whole heartedly approve of the outrageous laughter. You’re amazing when you laugh Kitten…It’s so infectious…Promise you’ll never stop laughing baby.

She quickly made her way through the living room, foyer and onto the veranda. She skipped across the steps leading to the terracotta tile of the expansive patio. Finally, her feet were in the deep, cool grass leading to her special place. She took a moment to notice each of the unique stepping stones Markus had given her throughout the years. She was officially walking down Memory Lane. She could see it in the distance. The water surrounding it was a beautiful turquoise. Obeying, she arrived at her spot, the gazebo.

She nestled, kneeling on the pillows surrounding the plush mattress. She didn’t close the curtains, she wanted to hear the water and see the sky. He was there, in all things. He was still with her.

Returning to the package she selected the next piece of linen stock, even in death he’s elegant.

Kitten-

I will trust you’ve done as I requested and are kneeling on your pillows. You’ve become such a good, obedient girl and I suspect that hasn’t changed so soon.

I can only imagine what you must be feeling. How difficult it must be for one so accustomed to serving to suddenly have no one to serve. You may be considering your life and choices. You know Domaine de la Butterfly is now yours. I know you’ll never accept ownership of anything, but your home will remain yours. You will also find, in this envelope, other things I’ve reverted back to your capable hands. Don’t be afraid, Kitten.

Calico began to rustle through the papers. Tears filled her big, amber eyes again. In her hands was the contract between Markus and herself. She kissed it and held it to her heart, recalling the day they’d signed it with his lawyer as witness. It seemed so long ago and like yesterday. Where had time gone? She’d cherished every second but they just hadn’t been enough.

As she continued through the stack she saw the slave certificate; Markus was listed as her owner. Sliding her hand up the nape of her neck she touched the barcode tattoo.

These were the things he was leaving in her hands? Was he certain of her capability? She felt so lost without him.

I know you won’t go searching with any sort of urgency, your loyalty runs so deep and the guilt would consume you. But, I can’t possibly imagine you floating around this estate like a ghost while you’re still alive. You’re too good, too hungry and have too much life left to live. So, my sweet kitten, I’ve, taken this, out of your hands. You will need to serve. It’s who you are. The decision is mine.

I’d considered willing you to someone but the potential for a life of unhappiness…I’d rather you a ghost.

Calico sat in the middle of the gazebo, curled up and rocking in attempt to console her heart. She couldn’t imagine the reality of what she read. Although she hadn’t felt him touch her in a month, she could feel him cradling her broken heart now.

After careful consideration, I’ve chosen some of my dearest friends to look after you. I chose only those I thought would help you laugh, heal and grow in my physical absence. I may not be there to Master you in my earthly body, but I am alive and well in your heart and mind.

Each of them has my deepest admiration and trust. I expect you to give them the same consideration. They will prove they can earn it from you, I promise you that, but at my will, give it first please.

For now, they will be acting as vessels for my will and desire, I will be in each of them, don’t forget that kitten. They will treat you only as outlined by me.

Ultimately, you will find a match; you’ll both know when it happens and have my blessing. Until that time, enjoy what I will give you through them. Enjoy the gifts they’ve given me….to continue my journey with you. I love you my kitten

Ya’ see? I told you, not even death…

Eternally,

Your Master,

Markus

CHAPTER TWO

Calico sat amidst the pillows, clutching the pages to her chest. Since the funeral she’d cried enough tears to fill the Great Salt Lake. Each memory lingered in her mind, the world seemed like a dream in slow motion. She ceased living when he had.

Now this? Not even death stopped his hands from holding her up. He’d always held her.

Curling up she allowed her mind to go back in time. It was a lifetime ago, Markus’ lifetime and hers. How had he seen anything in her then? She softened, thinking back to the streets
