“Are you insane?” Tina said in a very tight voice and Susan stared at her, wondering where that was coming from.

“No, I’m not. What is the problem, Tina?” Susan asked, knowing that
having young Shane kneeling at Tina’s feet was going to be something
she was going to love watching on a daily basis. Just the sight was
going to send her shooting to the moon in desire, the sweet thought of
Shane giving in. Such a strong soul, Susan smiled.

“Shane? As my submissive? I can’t do that! She’s my friend.” Tina
stated heatedly. The thought was making Tina giddy with more than one
emotion: fright, embarrassment, and finally, desire.

Shane had always been sexually desirable, it was part of who she was.
***** and androgynous, with a soul of an old woman who’d seen too much
and done too little to affect the world around her.

“What better way to introduce you into this world? She obviously knows
what she is doing; she followed protocol perfectly when she knelt to
you. Wouldn’t you feel more comfortable learning your role from a
friend? Or are you afraid you’ll fall in love with her as she said you
would?” Susan tempted Tina and Tina shook her head vigorously.

“It’s just” Tina sighed. Susan was set on making her take Shane, she
knew it. She also couldn’t refuse Shane, who’d offered that precious
gift that Page had spoken about. The surrender of a soul, of her self
to her, she couldn’t say no to that. How could she deny that having
Shane doing this with her would make it that much easier? A very wicked
adventure with a friend, that’s all it would be.

“It’s just? Tina, do you trust me?” Susan cooed, and Tina met her gaze, the confidence returning and she nodded.

“Then trust me when I tell you that having Shane as your sub will be a good thing.” Susan said in her lullaby voice.

“Yes, it will.” Jo said, appearing with her hand on the back of Shane’s
neck, urging her to kneel and she did, moving over towards Tina.

“So does she pass the great and mighty Jo Wheaton’s test?” Susan asked, and Jo blinked coolly, looking over at Tina.

“She’s yours; do with her as you please. Learn the business, learn and
live the life. Keep that precious thing with you at all times.” Jo
said, and Susan saw the glimmer of something around Shane’s neck.
