"Ahn!" I cried, arching my back. "Sebastian, not so hard!"
He remained behind me, a low smile crossing his face. "You can handle everything, but you can't handle this, my lord?"
"It's too big!" I told him, breathing shakily. "I can't!"
He just ch...

"Cammie," I said as she lightly dusted the books in my study, "where is Scarlet?"
Cammie gazed up then, settling back onto her feet. "Scarlet's cleaning the bathroom, master! Would you like me to get her?"
"Indeed, I do," I answered, "and get Carter as well as Maddox. Wait," I said before she left, "do not give Sebastian a suggestion of your whereabouts. Bring them quietly without alerting him, understand?"
She quickly nodded and rushed out from the room.
Minutes later, the others rushed in behind her, swarming in the room like a group of nervous flies.
"Close the door," I said then, setting a cheek in my hand.
Carter just swallowed something hard and shut the door behind him.
Maddox shifted uncomfortably on his feet. "Master... did we do something to upset you?"
"You always do something to upset me, Maddox," I said then, sighing as he slumped his shoulders. "But, no, I am not reprimanding you at all. I am very grateful for all the work you put in on that attack from those men last week. It was very skilled of all of you."
They all gazed up at me then, eyes glittering.
"So, I have a task for you," I said then, smiling as I clasped my fingers together, setting my chin on them. "Are you up for it?"
Cammie's eyes glittered. "A task?"
"For us?" Scarlet continued in astonishment.
I nodded. "Indeed, I do. Are you willing to hear me out?"
"Indeed, master!" Carter said, saluting to me. "Anything for you!"
"Good," I answered, pulling the camera out from under my desk. "You see this? This is a digital camera, but it's not any camera. It's special."
"A special camera?" Scarlet echoed. "How so?"
I just smiled and set it on my desk. "It's made from one of my oldest friends, the Overtaker."
Carter just blinked. "Oh, is that the creepy ol' fool who hides in his dungeon shop?"
"Indeed," I said, nodding, "he made this especially for me." I shifted it. "It's a special camera that shows an image of what someone's thinking when you take a picture of them. A very odd tool, if you ask me, but I assure you it works."
I then picked it up. "Cammie, step forward."
She listened immediately, taking one step forward as I aimed the lense to her. "One... two... three. There."
