Sylvie's whole life has been devoted to the service of others, mostly in the typical way: dutiful devotion to her husband and their children, to the patients she cares for as a selfless, martyred nurse. When Giulia, a beautiful, powerful woman, decides to become her mistress, she must leave everything she knows behind: her family, career, and her notions of what constitutes proper service. Not only must she clothe, feed, and bathe her mistress, she must also service her sexually and provide emotional relief. It's the existence she feels she was born for, and she does her job to perfection, but when a phenomenal new submissive captures Giulia's attention, her whole means of existence is thrown into question, and she finds out that though she can anticipate any of her mistress' whims and desires, there are still many secrets in store for her.
Sylvie's story is a complementary tale to a longer work of fantastical erotic fiction in progress. If you enjoy this work, look for the next release by Veronica Tiger.
