Chapter 16
Lisa and Kevin were loungin out on one of the small verandas that dotted the landscape of Lisa’s lands. Kevin had his head in her lap and she was slowly carding her fingers through his soft dark locks. Both were silent staring out at the land watching the animals frolic on the unseasonably warm day.
“Lisa, what are you and Denise going to do with Beth Opanheimer?” Kevin asked quietly
“I honestly don’t know about Denise. Personally would like to just give her one of
the lesser pets like
“I love you no matter what happens and we are bonded for life. From the day I became your pet to the day I die as your pet or lover we are bonded Lisa and don’t forget that.” Kevin was so serious that he got up from his former position and looked right into Lisa’s eyes to show how serious he was.
Lisa smiled and gave him a small kiss, “I have to go talk to De and our mothers. You are free for the rest of the day.” With that she walked away not as his fiancé but as his owner about to do business as Nick’s previous owner as well. Smiling Kevin lay back down on his back in the soft grass watching the clouds over head and imagining them as different shapes.
After what could be considered many hours but was only two Brian, Howie and Alex came out to the field to bring in the horses and other animals for the night feeding when they spotted Kevin lying in the grass under the setting sun and appears to be fast asleep. Alex nudged Kevin with his foot startling Kevin out of his stupor, “Oh, I didn’t hear you guys coming.” Kevin got up brushing imaginary grass of his clothes. Since he got engaged to Lady Lisa Kevin wore pants, shirts, shoes and socks like any upper level male would at time of marriage and for all time afterwards also.
“Of course not you were sound asleep or appeared to be.” Howie quipped which caused the other two to stifle back the giggles that were threatening to spill.
“I wasn’t sleeping and you two can clam up right now.” Kevin snapped. Brian and Alex both stopped immediately.
“Ok, then what’s wrong?” Brian asked. He was always perceptive to what others were going through. When things first started happening between Lady Lisa and Miss Beth, Brian was the one that Lisa talked to about this when Duchess De or Grand Dame Jane wasn’t around.
“That bitch Bethany Opanheimer is back and complaining that Nickolas was hers to start with and that Denise had to bribe Lisa to get her to give up her brother. We all know and Denise and her pets all know that’s its not true but I don’t think Nick knows that. I just have this feeling that Nickolas is going to be pulled in all directions from his love and loyalty to Lisa and his love for Denise to this person’s stubbornness.” Kevin sighed. He didn’t know what to do for his Lady either as her fiancé or pet. He was at his wits end with the whole Beth situation.
“Kevin, come on you can’t blame yourself, Lisa or Nick for what Beth is like. We all know from the time of birth through classes and finally ownership that it was a distinctly possibility that we wouldn’t get great owners. We all were lucky that Lisa and De turned out to be great owners and for us to be owned by them. I remembered when my Momma took me to auction telling me that I was to be on my best behavior because only good pets get good owners and bad pets get bad owners. That is where I know Chris from; we had many of our classes together and then met up again at auction.” Howie let them in on a secret he was holding in.
“Hey same for me; I remember quite well what my mom’s owner told us, my brothers and I, and it was much the same as you Howie. I was so scared but then Lady Jane came and with her daughter I knew that they would be the ones to own me and here I am. I couldn’t be happier well unless I was in your shoes Kevin.” Brian let out a stressed laugh at that last part.
“Wish I could same the same thing but you all know De is my twin sister and she gave me to Lisa as a present. I truly thank her for that because if she and Lisa weren’t such good friends from birth then I think I might have gotten sold to some bitch like Beth.” Alex was getting angrier by the minute thinking of what his life would have been like. All hard menial labor, unlike here where a pet’s strength determine their post and position in the “ladder.”
De, I want you to do the next
chapter as your pets talk about the Beth situation. I am thinking that the solution comes from
the pets and not us.
