be our Daddy and Goddess.â sajiraâs face remained expressionless as she spoke. I wanted to jump up and down and yell out, âGet him, sis!â âIf our brother, amani, were involved in this conversation, then the reference You would use in front of us would be our Master and Goddess. i am appreciative of You liking my slave name, Sir; it was lovingly chosen for me, and i try to provide another source of pride to my family.â
Lyricalâs smile faded and his eyes darted in my direction, searching for anything that would give him a clue of whether or not Iâd poisoned her against him. I gave him no satisfaction whatsoever. He turned to sajira to continue his conversation, such as it was. âWell, in that case, sajira, I should look forward to having dinnerwith you and the rest of your family later this evening. I am looking forward to it.â
He walked away before either of us could answer to the dinner invitation he spoke of, and the looks we gave each other would probably have been a source of humor for anyone on the outside looking in, but we didnât know whether to be confused or pissed that we had to share space with this egotistical jerk.
âi know Daddy can be a bit over the top at times, but at least Heâs earned His arrogance.â sajira was the first to break the uneasy silence between us. âWhat a jackass.â
I laughed so hard I had to sit down next to her to catch my breath. âSee, thatâs why i love you, sis.â
âWhere in the hell did He come from, and what did Goddess see in Him to invite Him to dinner?â sajira continued with the questions she hoped to ask Goddess when we all got together to prepare for dinner. âDaddyâs gonna take one look at âSir Lyricalâ and dismiss Him in a second.â
âi donât know, sis, but She must have seen something because He got a rise out of Her; i felt it in Her body language,â I explained from the interaction earlier in the day. âyou and i both know how She can get when She has Her mind made up. Not even Daddy can change Her mind.â
âSo, what do we do if olâ boy tries to flirt on the sly?â sajira asked. âDaddyâs got a temper, even if He doesnât show it, and it might get ugly. Do we take our concerns to them, or do we let the chips fall and watch for the fallout?â
We got up from the area we were sitting and walked toward the shoreline, and I pondered her question the entire way. The last time weâd collectively decided to hold something back from Daddy and Goddess, we nearly got caught up in a situation we couldnâtcontrol, and the consequences could have been more disastrous than the way it turned out. House protocol demanded that we request permission to speak freely so we could voice our concerns, but at the same time, this was our Mastersâ relationship, their marriage, and that was already tricky territory. One false step and things could fall apart in a hurry.
I didnât want to chance it unless we had proof that Sir Lyrical had ulterior motives for getting with Goddess. If it was just a fuck, then we could leave it alone because Daddyâs never been opposed to it, with all of us still having roots in the swingersâ community. But if this man had plans to split them up, they needed to be aware of it.
âFor now, sis, weâll keep things under wraps, especially when amani isnât involved in the conversation,â I advised. âWe need to get Him in the loop, so He can keep an eye on Lyrical, too.â
âAll right, sis, if you think this is best.â sajira shook her head. âi just hope weâre doing the right thing.â

âMistress Blaze, i would like for You to meet my good friend, Jelani.â
I knew I was taking a real chance trying to play matchmaker with these two, but I had a feeling they would have a good chemistry, a vibe that would spark
