Trading one slave master for another

Alex gulped down the saliva building up in his mouth as he witnessed the furious expression on Medhyasa's face. Lately, she thought the boy was beginning to learn his place. However, he was scheming to escape from her grasp again. This time she would have to punish the errant slave severely. As for the girl next to him, she would devour her to prove a point.
