Personal Sacrifice Part 9

PATH TO ACCEPTANCE

Domination and Submission

Osiris entered the bathhouse smiling when he saw Daniel still bathing. The man was unaware that he was no longer alone in the room. Osiris watched him from his position near the door admiring the bit of broad shoulder and muscular back that remained above the water line. Daniel was so focused on the task at hand that he was oblivious to everything around him.

Osiris smiled as one finely formed hand lifted above the water clinging to the bar of soap the man was using. He watched as Daniel shifted, raising his body further out of the water, standing now with the bubbling water gently teasing the supple tanned flesh of his waist and hips. The man was indeed beautiful and Osiris could feel the stirrings of desire begin anew within. He watched as the man carefully lathered his chest and trim waist. He watched the play of the water and soap against the man's skin. He lightly bit into his bottom lip as Daniel scrubbed himself clean then lowered into the water to rinse the remaining suds off of his body. He then lowered his head beneath the surface of the water before standing up and tossing his head from side to side. Water flew from his hair but some still remained clinging to that tantalizing skin and now dripping free from his golden locks. He finished bathing rinsing himself off before rising and exiting the bath. As his hand closed around the soft white towel draped over the single chair in the room Osiris spoke without thought, "No."

Daniel gasped jerking his head upright focusing that cobalt blue gaze on him. He quickly used the towel to cover the front of his body, much like a virgin would. To see the automatic shyness in Daniel made Osiris smile more. He glided over to Daniel reaching up to take hold of the long towel staring into Daniel's eyes as he said, "Come, now, you have no need to be shy around me, my precious one. I have seen you bare before me many a time before. You should feel no need to shield your beautiful body from my eyes."

Daniel lowered his gaze feeling edgy as Osiris focused intently on him. He quietly replied, "Yes My Lord," and allowed Osiris to remove the towel from between them. He focused intently on the ground knowing that Osiris was probably boldly examining him now.

Osiris reached up pressing his fingers underneath Daniel's chin he lifted the man's head up softly requesting, "Come. Let me look at you."

Daniel lowered his arms to his sides and stood still feeling Osiris' heated gaze survey him with open appreciation from head to toe.

Osiris spoke, "You are a very exquisite creature, Daniel. You should not feel the need to hide yourself from your lord."

Daniel only nodded. Osiris smiled as he watched the little beads of water continue to cascade down over Daniel's youthful face flowing to the hollow of his throat and still further down towards his chest. His golden blond hair now appeared darker in color as the water soaked into it. Water still dropped from the silky tendrils of that hair trickling down over his strong neck to dribble down between his nipples. The drips of water continuously made a beeline for that now shaved groin where it would tantalize and tickle making Daniel's body automatically respond by hardening as a result. Osiris continued, "So very beautiful...beautiful, wild, untamed... Are you untamed, my precious one?"

"My Lord?"

"You submit to me yet you are not tame. I admire that about you...your raw spirit and sensuous beauty... Do you know how magnificent you are, my precious?"

"My Lord..."

"It is true. You are very appealing, savage and sexy. I could spend hours watching you and looking upon your perfect nakedness..."

Osiris smiled as Daniel's face suddenly flushed with a pretty pink tinge indicating his slight embarrassment and shyness upon the mention of his attractiveness. He loved to see that furious blush spreading across his servant's cheeks...the flush only added to his overall appeal. Osiris realized suddenly that he needed Daniel. He wanted the man to service him again. He requested, "I should like to see you lower to your knees before me. You will do so now."

Daniel inhaled sharply before replying, "Yes, My Lord," and dropping gracefully to his knees before Osiris. He blushed deeper as he noticed that his new position brought him almost even with Sarah's crotch, and quickly downcast his eyes trying to conceal some of his embarrassment from the system lord.

Osiris smiled as he continued, "Come now, Daniel, pleasure your lord with that glorious mouth of yours. I want to feel that warm moist tongue of yours delving inside of me as you attempt to reach for my uterus."

Daniel gasped feeling the heat of embarrassment continue to blossom within himself. He couldn't believe the request Osiris just made of him...service him with his tongue...shit, could he do that? No...no that would be...no!

Osiris noticed his slave's hesitancy and quickly stated, "Let me remind you that you are my servant and you will service me in whatever way I please. If you refuse to do so I will destroy another planet. The choice is yours, my precious servant. Now what shall your decision be?"

Daniel swallowed hard glancing up as Osiris suddenly spread his legs hip width apart. He knew that Sarah would be spread wide open for his exploration and that she would probably be wearing nothing underneath her clothing. He closed his eyes before quietly replying, "Yes, My Lord."

"Come now, my precious one, service your lord on command."

Daniel shuddered as Osiris urged him to continue. He swallowed hard before crawling between Sarah's legs and lifting his face up to her womanly center. He could smell her tantalizing scent and, despite his attempts to remain unaffected, he could feel his dick hardening. Though a parasite inhabited her the woman with him was Sarah and he knew Sarah, had loved her, had made love to her and drew much pleasure from their times together. As she spoke softly her voice no longer tinged by the Goa'uld lord's gravelly one he could feel his desire for the woman take hold. He could feel his body beginning to respond, his desire surging to the forefront and his yearning to taste her flood him.

He slipped his tongue out from between his lips laving it across her dampened slit and fell into the abyss of raw pleasure, raw primal need and desire. She inhaled sharply gasping out, "Oh Daniel yes," in that soft accented voice that belonged only to Sarah. She was now breathless with anticipation and Daniel could see the slight quivering of her body as she so willingly yielded her juices for his intimate sampling. He could no more resist that offering then he could resist his intense desperate craving to be sexually satiated. Osiris built a fire within when he permitted Sarah to speak of her own volition and Daniel could not help but submit to his intense hunger and lust for the beautiful woman now straddling him.

Sarah continued to speak to him encouraging him to continue to taste her and lavish her, "Please...please, Daniel, make me feel alive again. Please make love to me and forget about Osiris. There is only the two of us. There is no other. Please make me feel whole again."

As he pushed his tongue up inside her he could taste her. He remembered that taste...Sarah...he moaned as his tongue was granted entrance into her moist, warm, silky cavern as she spread her legs even wider. He could hear a sudden change in her breathing and knew that he was definitely driving her to distraction. Thoughts of his present situation, of who demanded him to perform this act fled. There was no one but Sarah Gardner and Daniel Jackson. As he remembered the woman and how it felt to love her, stroke her, touch her and service her. The order he was given mere moments before by his lord became so much easier to follow.

As she moaned while he flicked his tongue in and out of her rhythmically he could visualize her lovely head now tossing back her golden tresses trailing down her back where the ends tantalized and tickled her pert round buttocks...

She, they, could feel their knees going weak as Sarah's legs threatened to collapse under them. Osiris never imagined that Daniel could be so passionate and so experienced at oral pleasure. Sarah had told him to urge Daniel to do so telling him that once he applied that tongue to their body neither of them would be able to think clearly for several hours afterward. Together they shared the wonderful feelings the young linguist was now invoking within Sarah's body. He allowed Sarah to emerge to encourage Daniel and coax him into serving them and she allowed him to remain in equal domination with her so they were both experiencing the intense emotions together and it felt wonderful, more than wonderful...his servant was amazing.

Sarah quickly became breathless knowing that she would soon collapse if Daniel continued to worship her with his tongue so well. She reached down between her legs bracing her hands on Daniel's broad shoulders and using them for leverage to lean forward a bit more. Daniel shifted to support her weight only losing contact with her for mere moments. He shifted on his knees moving to provide her with an anchor, support to keep her upright as he continued to lavish her with his magical tongue. As he continued to stroke her she could feel her legs quivering against him and became quickly aware that she was now relying heavily on him to keep herself upright as he tormented her so.

Daniel realizing that the effect he was having on her was making her struggle to remain upright quickly broke contact with her glancing up into her beautiful face noticing the intense flush of excitement that made her color sharper. She was indeed beautiful. As he focused on her he spoke barely above a whisper, "Perhaps it would be easier for you if you were to lie down for me..."

"Hmm, yes, Daniel...yes..."

She lowered to her knees before him maintaining eye contact with him admiring the desire-laden sparkle in the man's crystal blue eyes...Daniel was absolutely gorgeous. When she settled on her knees before him Daniel gently urged her to lie back quietly commanding, "Lay back for me...offer yourself to me...surrender yourself to me, Sarah..."

"Hmm, yes, Daniel...yes..."

She settled onto her back again parting her thighs to reveal her sopping mound to him. She watched him intently feeling her mouth dry up as he lowered to his hands crawling on all fours between her legs stopping above the junction between her thighs. She moaned as seeing him crawl to her heated her up even more. Without thought she entwined her hand around the gold chain now draped over his right shoulder. She could feel the cool metal of his leash resting so snugly in the palm of her hand and while continuing to stare deeply into his passion-filled eyes she gently tugged on the leash urging him forward as she did so. Daniel stopped as momentary confusion and surprise spread across his face but as she arched her back offering her golden mound to him he focused on pleasing her again.

He kneeled before her staring at her body, licking his lips as he scanned her. He shook his head slightly before requesting, "Remove your clothes...I want to see you naked before me, Sarah...please..."

"My Lord wishes for me to remain fully clothed while you service us..."

Daniel paused as he recalled that he was with Osiris and knew that he should feel revulsion and hatred filling him but neither of those emotions seemed to be present at the moment. All he felt was this intense aching need, this smoldering desire and a desperate yearning to be satisfied. He knew that by so willingly servicing Sarah he was willingly servicing Osiris but instead of allowing hatred to fill him he allowed primal urges to run rampant in his body. He huskily inquired, "And why does My Lord wish to remain fully clothed?"

Osiris spoke then in his gravelly voice singed with desire as he answered, "Because I want your submission, my precious servant...in remaining clothed as such while you wear nothing on your delectable body I reaffirm that you are the slave and I the master...does my answer satisfy your curiosity, my precious?"

"Yes, My Lord."

"Continue to please us..."

"Yes, My Lord."

Daniel felt a flush of embarrassment and heat swarm his body as Osiris gave an explanation for why he was to remain naked and his lord remain clothed...in doing so Osiris was again asserting that he was master over him and that he merely existed to please his lord. He felt anger fill him in response to that answer but he, also, felt strangely turned on by the explanation. Oh God did he actually desire to be ruled over in bed? No...no...surely not. As he felt the pull on his leash he realized that he again allowed his attention to wander while servicing his lord. He focused intently on Sarah's face expecting to see anger and disappointment there for his inability to remain focused but all he saw was passion and hunger in her gaze. He swallowed hard as he watched her lick her lips. He gazed upon her allowing his eyes to once again scan her voluptuous body. He fixed his gaze on her chest watching the rapid expanding that thrust her breasts into the air and knew that she was breathing heavily. He groaned as his dick twitched again growing even harder than it had been before. As another tug on his leash brought him down upon her swollen mound he could no more resist her intoxicating scent. As he focused on her again he slid his tongue out of his mouth and gently applied it to her juice covered lips. He smiled wickedly as he heard the catch in her breath and watched her beautiful chest heave yet again in response to the feelings the simple tasting evoked within her.

She watched him intently hissing as he applied his tongue to her. She spoke huskily, "Please...oh God...please, Daniel...yes that's it...taste me, sample me, delve your exquisite tongue into my heat...please, Daniel, take what I am offering you...make me scream with wanting you...yes, yes...YES!"

Daniel gently prodded her with his tongue delving deep into her before removing it, focusing on her and asking, "How does my lord wish to be serviced?"

Osiris' voice spoke shakily as he asked, "What?"

Daniel smirked as he could hear the effect he was having on Sarah, on them both...he was now in complete control. Osiris may believe that he held all the power but Daniel knew otherwise. He was in complete control and he felt euphoric. He'd never realized just how much power he could gain while giving his body to his captor in bed. Yes, here was where his power now was...he questioned, "Does my lord wish for things to be gentle?"

"Um...hmm..."

Ah yes speechless...he snickered as he questioned, "Or does my lord wish for things to be fast?"

"Daniel, just DO IT!"

Hmm that was Sarah's voice...Sarah was always impatient in bed. He liked to take his time to please but Sarah desired things fast, rough, hard...she loved being ridden hard, licked hard and gripped tightly. As he glanced at her he could see her impatience burning in her eyes...ah, yes, Sarah there is that expression of yours I know so well. So Osiris has granted you the right to share in our little sexual experience has he? Hmm, very interesting...

He again applied his tongue to her flicking it across the nub that hung there. Again she hissed and again she arched her body offering herself to him, pleading with her body for him to claim her and taste her. As he lowered upon her again and gently twirled his tongue around the very tip of her clitoris she moaned loudly and automatically thrust her heat up against his teasing mouth.

As Daniel resorted to twirling that talented tongue around her clitoris Sarah was sure she would lose it. She instantly thrust up against him offering him more of her womanhood wanting him to suck her hard and tongue her deeply. She lightly bit into her bottom lip as she focused her gaze upon him. Just seeing his head buried between her legs was enough to push her closer to orgasm. She repositioned her hand on his leash stopping it just before the spot where it was welded fast to Daniel's collar. As she thought of that golden collar encircling his delectable neck and how she was now clinging to his leash she became even more turned on...Daniel was at her mercy. He was required to serve their lord and in doing so he was also serving her. She smiled wickedly as with her other hand she pushed his head down holding it in position as he continued to lick her to climax and beyond. As he continued to torment her she yanked more on his leash pulling him down on her more firmly and holding him in place not only with her hand on his head but with her firm grip on his lead chain. She thrust her hips up against him feeling his nose pushing into her moistness along with his mouth for a brief moment she wondered if Daniel could breathe knowing that his nose and mouth were now covered. She eased her hold on him allowing him to lift his head up some. Daniel didn't even seem to notice that he had his mouth and nose buried in her as he continued to flick his tongue against her sopping wet pussy.

She started to moan and toss her head from side to side beginning to thrust her hips back and forth rhythmically as her vaginal muscles started to contract and twitch signaling the arrival of her orgasm. She felt as if she were floating in the clouds as wonderful feelings swamped through her. She started to run her hand through Daniel's hair petting him like one would pet a dog while tightly gripping his leash in the other. She started panting, "Oh God, Daniel, oh God...yes...God...Daniel...now...now...YES!"

In the next instant extreme pleasure ripped through her body as she climaxed against his face. She could smell the strong sweet aroma of her sex and knew that her juices were now clinging to that gorgeous face of the man who brought her so masterfully to completion. She sighed aloud in immense pleasure relaxing her body and enjoying holding Daniel there while her cunt dripped heavily with her orgasmic juices. She started to casually run her hand through his hair as he pulled back slightly and started to kiss her pussy so gently.

Osiris chose that time to speak again as he said, "You please me immensely, my precious one. You may look upon your lord's face again."

Daniel stopped kissing her and focused his gaze on Sarah's face feeling her wetness clinging to his face. He reached up with his hand to wipe some of the cum off of himself but Osiris jerked on his leash saying, "NO! LEAVE IT!"

Daniel lowered his gaze as he huskily responded, "Yes, My Lord."

"I desire for you to wear my essence upon your face for now. Let everyone who looks upon you see my juices now coating you and showing to them how well you have serviced your lord this day."

Daniel gasped in response to that comment again feeling his face heat up as he felt embarrassed by the command. Osiris noticed that along with that flush of embarrassment he also saw a tinge of desire in those eyes. He smiled wickedly as he softly asked, "Does it humiliate you, my precious, to know how easily I can excite you?"

Daniel kept his head down as he breathlessly replied, "Yes."

"Hmm, such a confession is very hard for one with such a feisty spirit to make. You please me greatly when you so willingly bow to my rule and comply with my demands. Does my servant wish to wash his face now?"

"Yes, My Lord."

"You will wear my essence on your face, my precious one. I am in need of a bath. You may rise before me."

Daniel obeyed rising to his feet still smelling Sarah on his face and feeling her juices clinging to his skin. He felt rather humiliated having to leave it on his face, but at the same time this overwhelming pleasure and warm desire filled him. Was he now becoming turned on by the things Osiris was making him do? Was his disgust now turning into raw passion and desire? Was he actually beginning to enjoy sexually servicing the Goa'uld lord in any manner he requested?

He flushed even more as My'la entered the bath and looked upon his face. He knew that she had to see Osiris' juices clinging to him and he instantly downcast his eyes. Osiris looked up and said, "Ah, My'la, please prepare our bed and see that we are not disturbed for the rest of the evening."

"Yes, My Lord."

She questioned, "Does my lord wish to be bathed this evening?"

"My favored will bathe me this evening. Thank you, My'la."

"You are welcome, My Lord."

She then exited the bath. Osiris glanced at Daniel noticing that he seemed a bit embarrassed. He gently pressed his fingers underneath Daniel's chin and urged him to look up. When Daniel did so Osiris spoke softer, "My precious one, you should not feel embarrassed to be seen wearing your lord's essence upon your handsome face. It is an honor to be granted such a right. Please do not hide your face from me."

"Yes, My Lord."

Osiris smiled then walked over to the bath. He glanced at Daniel watching as his servant moved as if to follow. He said, "No. I want you on your knees. Now."

"Yes, My Lord."

Daniel lowered to his knees then Osiris lowered into the water. He smiled at his servant before ordering, "Crawl to me, my precious one. Come, crawl for your master the way you have been trained."

"Yes My Lord."

Daniel lowered to his hands and crawled on all fours to Osiris. Osiris then ordered, "Sit. Sit."

He obeyed rising off of his hands to sit back on his folded knees. Osiris smiled again reclaiming Daniel's leash as he tugged Daniel towards him. He then patted Daniel's head as if he were a pet quietly praising, "Good dog..."

Daniel jerked his head up as Osiris called him a dog. Osiris only continued to gaze at him with that teasing smile as he continued, "Tell me pet, did you enjoy smelling your master's essence? Do you enjoy wearing your master's essence upon your face? Speak."

Daniel swallowed hard, clenching his eyes tightly shut before quietly responding, "Yes My Lord."

He then felt Osiris' hand press against the side of his face and focused on the Goa'uld lord as he said, "Soon, my precious, you will learn to draw only pleasure from our passionate acts."

Daniel gasped again then lowered his head as Osiris fell silent. Osiris then spoke breaking the silence as he ordered, "Turn your back to me."

Daniel rose to his hands and knees then turned to present Osiris with his back. Osiris smiled as he then ordered, "KNEEL FORWARD!"

Daniel swallowed hard feeling that embarrassing tinge travel up across his face again as he dutifully formed a triangle with his hands pressing them to the floor about a foot in front of him before lowering and pressing his forehead into the center of that triangle. He could feel the air in the room caress his bottom as he openly exposed himself for his lord.

Osiris sighed in pleasure as he focused on that perfect little pucker of an opening that led into Daniel's rectum. He, also, admired the way Daniel's balls and dick now hung between his legs. Ah yes, this was a very nice view indeed. He smiled wickedly as he said, "Remain in this position while I bathe."

"Yes My Lord."

Osiris continued to bathe himself taking his time admiring Daniel's genitals as he cleaned his body. Yes, Daniel was totally fetching in the kneel forward position. He was nicely exposed and opened shamelessly displaying his lord's property for open admiration.

Daniel swallowed hard trying to ignore the feelings of embarrassment and humiliation that now traveled through him. He had responded so readily and so eagerly to his lord this time. God he was becoming a damned sex addict! He thought of Jack and again mentally whispered for his lover to forgive him for what he must do to remain alive and ensure that everyone is kept safe. He hoped, he prayed, that Jack would understand why he was sacrificing so much to the system lord who now owned him.

Though he knew he was betraying Jack with every act he performed for Osiris he had no choice and the only way he could handle the huge sacrifices he was making to insure everyone's safety was to give in to pure desire and pure need. He would learn to enjoy what Osiris did to him and what he would do for Osiris. He was already beginning to respond instantly to certain touches and strokes and knew that soon Osiris would have his very willing, very horny, very desperate sex slave who craved sex, needed sex and burned for sex all the time in his midst for he was fast becoming that person Osiris wanted.

He swallowed hard wanting to cry in shame as he realized how much he has become what Osiris wanted, but could no longer do so. He had spent all his tears so long ago. Now, now he was just tired, tired and growing numb. He was growing a little more number each day. The only time he could feel alive, he could feel on fire, was when he performed for his lord or Osiris performed for him. Sex, sex and sexual desire, sexual need...that was all he could feel anymore. He needed sex to feel alive. His soul was now so bruised and so battered. His body was so used, so spoiled and so dirty now that the only way he felt alive, felt just about anything was when he allowed sexual impulses, sexual desires and urges to dominate. He managed to bury most of himself so deep that all that remained, all that was easy for Osiris to access, was raw, intense passion and desire. Everything else he had buried deep and locked away so that Osiris couldn't ruin those things as well.

In the short time since becoming Osiris' favored Daniel went from being an unwilling participant in Osiris' sexual encounters to wanting, needing...craving those encounters. He forced himself to draw intense pleasure and joy from the acts knowing that if he failed to show Osiris his passion and his yearning, if he failed to offer himself up willingly to the system lord then another planet would be destroyed, Jack would be destroyed, Earth would be destroyed...he opened himself to the feelings of intensity and now he craved, yearned and needed that passion, that fire, that wild sex that he and Osiris often delved in. He had been overcome with desire and now instead of hating the sex he was enjoying every damned minute of it. This is why he felt so guilty after each sexual encounter because the more he lay with his captor, the more he lay with the system lord who owned him, the more he enjoyed their little trysts in bed; their exploits into the realm of dark desire and into their darkest fantasies, their exploits into raw, experimental copulation helped him to feel more alive and more on fire than anything else. His life was now to be an eternity of lust, passion, desire, need and hunger...Osiris was training him well...training him to become a sexual artist...

He hissed as a wet finger pressed against his exposed entrance and as that finger slowly trailed down between his legs to pause at his balls he heard himself moan and felt his body quiver with excitement, desire, need and hunger. He shifted slightly forward opening himself more to that teasing touch and was rewarded as the finger disappeared only to return wet again to press against his anus. As the finger slipped slightly into him he groaned automatically pushing back into that finger as his body begged for the touch to continue. He heard a husky chuckle behind him and felt his heart rate increase realizing that he was again becoming turned on by his captor.

Osiris' voice spoke soothingly as he continued, "Does my servant wish to have his needs satisfied?"

Daniel prepared to answer hissing as he felt that wet, moist finger rub lightly across his anus. He could feel the heat within building and his dick hardening in response to the touches. He gasped whimpering as the finger disappeared. He listened to his lord shifting in the bath wanting to beg and plead for his glorious touch to be reapplied but remained silent. He was determined not to plead for satisfaction.

He wondered what Osiris was doing and hissed in shock as he felt a blessed tongue stroke across his anus. He knew that Osiris was now servicing him with his tongue and as the Goa'uld lord began to gently stab his tongue in and out of him Daniel felt his desire surmount screaming in pleasure as that tongue began to slowly rim him. All he could manage to get passed his lips was a husky, "Oh God more, please..."

Osiris delivered as he again worked his tongue masterfully. Daniel growled as hands, warm and wet circled around his waist and laid claim to his dick. As those hands began to pump him and massage his balls Daniel became lost so caught up in the violent storm of ecstasy that he forgot who was pleasuring him. He began to plead with Osiris not to stop gasping in shock as he rapidly found himself flipped onto his back. He stared at Osiris in surprise and need feeling his desire and hunger only build.

Osiris rose out of the water urging him forward. Daniel realized the Goa'uld lord was still in the bath now looking at him with an aching hunger. Without thought or permission he drew to his feet bending down to capture the Goa'uld lord's lips in his. Osiris groaned responding eagerly to his servant. As Daniel broke the kiss Osiris urged him to lay back and wait for him. Daniel complied watching as Sarah stepped out of the bath then urged him to rise. Daniel obeyed completely unprepared for Osiris' next aggressive move. He winced as he quickly found himself shoved back first against the wall pinned by her body. He glared at her then attempted to pull her close against him. She smiled mischievously as she dodged his attempt then proceeded to openly ogle him. She leered at him commanding, "HEEL!" and Daniel instantly lowered to his knees as his master ordered. He could feel his need to be satiated thrumming powerfully throughout his body but knew he must obey his master when commanded. He felt her lift his lead chain before she questioned, "Does my servant think he is deserving of his master's pleasures?"

"My Lord?"

"Are you aching now, my precious one?"

"Yes My Lord."

"Have you a desire to be pleased by me, slave?"

"Yes Master."

"Shall I grant you the pleasure you seek?"

"My Lord, please."

"Or keep you desperately aching and burning for me?"

"My Lord...please, I beg of you. Please."

"Do you need me, slave?"

"Yes Master."

"Then let me hear you say the words. NOW!"

"I need you, Master, I need you. Please."

Osiris continued to smile feeling powerful and extremely turned on as he released his hold on the leash then proceeded to push Daniel to the floor and capture his lips in his own. He then said, "Relax for me Daniel. Relax."

Daniel obeyed and grunted as Sarah eased herself down on him. He thrust upwards moaning as she opened up for him. As his erection became buried deep within her he tossed his head back allowing another moan to escape.

Sarah gasped as he became fully rooted within her and felt a desperate need to claim him. She instantly wrapped her arms around him pulling him upright until he was sitting and she was in his lap straddling his hips. Daniel immediately sought out her breasts cupping his mouth so tenderly around her left breast as he started to gently suckle. Sarah cried out wrapping her arms tighter around him and holding him close as she began to slowly ride him. Daniel growled as he feasted on her breast and began running his hands all across her back. She kissed him on the top of his head before moaning and commenting, "Beautiful, you're beautiful have I ever told you that, love? So beautiful my Daniel so beautiful."

Daniel clung to her allowing passion and desire to consume him. He released her breast then began to plant kisses across her neck gently nipping at the hollow in her throat and wincing as she suddenly dug her fingernails into his back. The pain was short-lived as he became absorbed in laving her neck and caressing her. She started to ride him faster and harder digging her nails deep into his back feeling her body climbing to orgasm. As she felt the heat and rush fill her she began to pant his name becoming lost in his lovemaking. She continued to urge him on digging her nails into him then tearing at his back, clawing open the skin and hearing Daniel's loud cry of pain as she made him bleed. Daniel tightened his hold on her feeling a mix of pleasure and pain fill him so completely that he was becoming lost and drawing closer to his apex as well.

Daniel started to cry out as pleasurable waves ripped through his body pushing him to the brink. As her hands slid down to his buttocks and those nails sank deep into his hindquarters Daniel whimpered feeling hands gripping him bruisingly tight. She drew her right hand up over his hip scratching the skin as she moved causing Daniel to writhe in her arms and as he hit climax she sunk her teeth into his shoulder reveling in hearing the man scream in pain and pleasure before the apex began to recede.

Daniel swallowed hard pressing his forehead into the column of her neck trying to regain his breathing and trying to take back control of his rampaging emotions. As his breathing began to calm he became aware of the newest marks on his skin. He inhaled sharply noticing that the pain wasn't too bad just uncomfortable. The bite hurt the most but he could handle it. He had to handle it. He still hated the aggressive side of Sarah, her aggressive side being Osiris. He still had to get use to the fact that occasionally Osiris liked it rough, aggressive and painful. Feeling only a few marks on his body presently helped him to relax some for he had been marked up much worse in the past.

He hated Osiris' need to do bodily injury to make his pleasure build. Sometimes Osiris was a gentle lover and Daniel sensed he was because his servant preferred gentle sex, sex that was enjoyable and didn't involve pain of any sort. Other times, other times Osiris liked the sex fast, hard, rough and aggressive. He had no choice but to yield to the snake's commands often waking with numerous bruises and scratches scattered across his body in various places. It unnerved him to see those marks on his body, of course he wasn't going to complain too much about Osiris' need for rough sex because he much rather preferred that over the aggressive shit. There were those few times Osiris would come up behind him, grab him from behind and force him onto the bed before taking him hard and fast. It was those few times Osiris sought a struggle and Daniel had learned to offer little struggle because if he struggled too much then Osiris would become so aggressive that he would pin him to the bed and take him as if he were someone he despised...when Osiris did that Daniel became very scared. He had nearly panicked so Osiris backed off. After that he ceased making love to him as if he were someone he wanted to completely dominate for he didn't want his servant to slide into the debilitating panic again.

As the veil of passion lifted Daniel became suddenly aware that Sarah had been in control and Sarah was the one who clawed him and hurt him. Sarah, not Osiris...oh God Sarah had clawed him. Shit! He pulled away from her staring into her face seeing that she was greatly pleased. He felt suddenly cold as the reality of who had just been in charge hit him. Osiris he was used to...he expected Osiris to bite him and claw him but not Sarah, not Sarah. Sarah would never...but she had. Oh God she had and she didn't look the least bit guilty or ashamed of that fact either. Suddenly anger filled him and without thinking he shoved her violently away panting as he ordered, "Get the fuck away!"

"Daniel? Daniel what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? What...what the hell was that?"

"Pleasure, Daniel. We made love for pleasure."

"Pleasure? You fuckin' bit me! How the hell is that pleasurable? God what...what the hell is wrong with you?"

"Daniel, I'm sorry we...we got a little carried away..."

"Carried away? My God Sarah you clawed my back open! What the hell..."

"I tried to tell him..."

Daniel stopped and stared at her in surprise before saying, "You tried to tell him? What?"

She lowered her gaze nervously as she answered, "I told him you wouldn't like it..."

"Like it? Shit! Osiris, you're talking about...oh God! I did it again! I fuckin' did it again! I can't believe...I can't believe I let him...oh God!"

Sarah became frightened noticing that Daniel's anger was quickly changing to shame and guilt. She reached for him but he jerked from her. She said, "Daniel..."

"Get off me, Sarah."

"Daniel..."

"GET OFF!"

She obeyed feeling tears brimming her eyes. She said, "Daniel what's wrong? Daniel?"

"I can't...I can't...I can't talk to you about this Sarah."

"Why not?"

"Because of him! God I can't believe..."

"Daniel, please talk to me. Please talk to us."

"I...I have to go..."

"Daniel please..."

Sarah felt her heart ache as Daniel suddenly wrapped his arms around himself and turned from her. She gasped mentally saying, 'Oh God he's turning away. He's shutting us out. I shouldn't have...'

'Hush, Sarah, hush.'

‘No you don't understand! He's hurting! He's withdrawing...'

Sarah stepped towards Daniel and he retreated shaking his head. She said, "Daniel don't go. Please."

"I...I need...I just need some time Sarah. I just need a little time...please...please let me go. Please."

"Daniel..."

"Please Sarah! God don't make me beg you! Don't make me beg HIM! Please Sarah. Please..."

Sarah fell silent then nodded her head before saying, "Daniel, your robes...I don't want you wandering this palace uncovered. Please."

Daniel stared at her before turning, grabbing his robe and wrapping it around him before fleeing the room as quickly as he was able.

He found himself wandering the halls aimlessly with no real destination in mind. All he wanted was some time and some solace. All he wanted was to think about what had just happened and to find answers as to why Sarah would lash out at him much as Osiris has. When Sarah took control and they made love she was always gentle, soothing and comforting. He actually looked forward to those times for it was a break from being frequently pawed at and mauled by the system lord. Sometimes he needed gentleness and tenderness. He needed to be soothed and to be explored carefully, considerately. Sarah always seemed to provide that for him. She was his temporary solace from Osiris. She was the escape that he needed to get away from his lord if even for a few hours. He knew that he was trapped here and that he had no escape, but Sarah helped him to deal with that knowledge. She had to understand that the times she pleased him in bed were calming for him. She had to have known that or at least picked up on it but if she had then... Why did she lash out at him? Why did she bite him and claw him like some savage creature? Why did she use aggression much like Osiris wielded it when she was with him? Why?

He shook his head feeling cold and growing numb as he listened to the sound of his feet padding softly across the palace floors echoing to him as it bounced off each wall. He didn't look where he was going choosing instead to focus on the floor that he was walking on. As the coldness in the palace seemed to seep into his bones and fill him he found himself quickly wrapping his robe more securely about himself knowing that he should return to their bed and snuggle up under their covers but not wanting to return just yet. He shook his head refusing to turn back towards their room choosing to continue his aimless roaming throughout the palace.

As he continued on he again recalled how she sunk her teeth into his shoulder and tore his back open with her nails. Even now he was probably still bleeding from those marks. His thighs and hips also hurt where she clutched him so firmly that she no doubt bruised him. Why did she do that to him? Why did she turn to aggression when he drew nearer the precipice? Why had Osiris also become more aggressive with him? Why did he have to be imprisoned by a Goa'uld lord who drew immense excitement from balancing both pleasure and pain during intercourse? God didn't Osiris realize that it was hard enough for him to surrender his body every single night to be used and ridden until he grew so exhausted that he could no longer keep his eyes open? Didn't Osiris realize how hard it was to wake up nearly every single morning and feel the soreness around his groin from being handled so roughly? Didn't Osiris realize just how hard it was to come willingly to his bed each and every night, to surrender himself and allow himself to be used sexually by his captor? Didn't Osiris know that each time he was made to willingly come to his bed he could feel his guilt and shame burrowing ever deeper within as he was reminded that again he was betraying the love of his life?

Of course Osiris didn't know any of that because all he saw in him was a servant. All he saw in him was a slave who was to obey without question. He saw someone he could draw immense pleasure from, someone he could control and someone he could use to his heart's content. He was Osiris' slave therefore he had little say in just what his master and owner chose to do with him. He was no longer free. He was a slave, a servant...property. He now belonged to another and had no free will of his own. The only rights he had were those his master deemed for him. Osiris controlled him now and he had to yield to his master always. A slave's duty is to surrender to their master and to always obey them...his duty was to do exactly that. He was a slave therefore he had no independence and no freedom of choice. He did as he was told and that was all. Any refusal would be met swiftly with punishment for such was now his fate and the fate of a slave was always his master's to decide, not his own.

Feeling helpless and defenseless as he came face to face with that cold truth he instantly drew his arms across his chest hugging himself so tightly trying to find comfort somewhere in this bitter, cruel existence. He was becoming discouraged for there seemed to be no hope in sight. He was still here, still with Osiris after two or was it three months? He didn't know. Hell he couldn't even remember how long he'd been here his life just seemed so endless to him. He had been captured a few months ago but those few months felt like a lifetime. He had been so sure that he would have been rescued by now. He placed all his hope in his friends and in Jack. If they couldn't access the Stargate then surely they would have procured a ship from the Tok'ra or the Asgard by now but if so then why was he still here? Why was he still trapped in this dark, cold prison? Why was he still chained to Osiris' side serving as his favored? If his friends had truly not given up then shouldn't they have been here by now? Shouldn't they have found him by now? Surely they didn't just...forget him.

He softly moaned as the coldness within the palace seemed to encompass him as a thought entered his mind that he did not dare believe. They wouldn't have given up on him would they? God they wouldn't abandon him here and leave him to suffer this ill fate for the rest of his days, would they? Oh please God let that not be the case. Please God I beg of you don't let them leave me here. PLEASE! God would Jack just leave him here? Would he just...give up? God no if his friends gave up then he would be forever chained to Osiris' side. He shook his head as that fear tried to seize him. To live the rest of his days as a servant and slave to Osiris was his ultimate fear. If they abandoned him to this fate then he would never be able to survive such an existence. He would lose himself and become...become nothing...a robot, a...no, no...NO! They would not do that to him! NO! Jack loved him and so did Sam and Teal'c they wouldn't leave him here alone. They wouldn't do that to him! They wouldn't! And if they did give up on him Jack would still come. Jack would come. He would. HE WOULD! He had to come...he had to...

He gasped jumping in surprise when he felt a tug on his arm. He tried to focus on whoever was touching him becoming aware that his cheeks felt moist...God tears, he had been crying. Why? Hadn't he forgotten just how to cry weeks ago? Hadn't Osiris managed to destroy his ability to cry for anyone including himself?

He shook his head forcing himself to focus on the one insistently tugging at his arm. As he focused on the angelic face of a little boy he forced a smile to his lips hearing the child asking, "Master Daniel are you okay? You look sad..."

He recognized the child as one of Osiris' other slaves. His mother and father were both servants to Osiris. They lived in the palace. He had spoken to the boy several times in the past telling him myths and stories when he requested. He could see the concern in the young boy's eyes for him and quickly responded, "Yes I'm all right, Layton, I'm all right. Why aren't you in bed with your mother and father?"

Layton glanced nervously at his feet as he kicked at an invisible stone on the palace floor before shyly answering, "Couldn't sleep..."

"Ah, yes I seem to be having trouble doing that myself."

The boy glanced up at him and cocked his head to the side before softly inquiring, "Are you sure you're okay, Master Daniel? You look really sad. Mamma has some cookies that might help ya."

He smiled at the boy nodding before answering, "Oh she does, does she?"

"Yep. Come on. Let's go."

Layton started to tug on his robe and Daniel hesitated. He turned to look behind him expecting to see Osiris standing there. He felt relieved when he didn't see him anywhere. He again focused on Layton before nodding and going with the child to his room in the palace.

As they entered the room he stopped when Layton's mother cast him a fearful gaze before seeing that her son was with him. She smiled feeling very relieved to see that he was back. She approached softly chiding, "Layton you know not to go wandering the palace alone, especially at night."

"Aw mamma no wolves got me. Master Daniel protected me. He wouldn't let 'em get me."

She again cast a gaze at the man her son brought back with him and nodded smiling in appreciation for his returning her son. She quickly bowed and lowered her gaze in respect as she apologized, "Master Daniel, I am sorry about Layton. He is a very curious child. I am sorry if he has disrupted your sleep."

Daniel shook his head no feeling the tears again threatening to spill when she addressed him as master and bowed to him. He tried to smile but felt the tears welling up so he quickly jerked his gaze away from her not wanting her to see that her formal address upset him immensely.

She responded to his sudden action by quieting her voice further and saying, "Master Daniel, I am truly sorry. I did not mean to offend. I will gladly accept punishment for..."

Daniel jerked his gaze back towards her speaking in a voice lined in shock and frustration, "What? No, no...No! Why the hell...why would I... NO!"

She kept her eyes lowered to the floor as she continued "I have offended you further, My Master..."

"NO! No please, please stop doing that!"

He approached her gently urging her to look up at him by pressing two fingers under her chin. He softened his voice further as he said, “Please...please stop."

"Stop what, My..."

"I am not your master. I am no one's master. Why do you treat me as if I am?"

"It is..."

"Expected...yeah I hear this from My'la all the time but I don't want you to address me as your master. I master no one, Ashton, no one. You know how I feel about formal titles. Please. I didn't come to your home to upset you. I came because your son invited me. He saw that I was upset and told me that you had made some cookies. I refused but he insisted I come so I...did. I wanted to make certain that he made it back here without running into any of the guards along the way. If my presence is upsetting to you then I'll leave."

He turned to focus on Layton offering him a warm smile as he lowered before the boy and said, "Thank you so much for inviting me into your home, Layton, but I fear that I must go now. I upset your mother and that was not what I wished to do..."

"But Master Daniel I want..."

"I have to go, Layton. Thank you, really, but I have to go. I won't make someone feel uncomfortable in their own home. I won't do that to your mom or your dad. I have to go. You get some sleep okay?"

"But..."

Daniel touched the boy's shoulder as he softly urged, "Get some sleep."

He then turned preparing to rise when the boy suddenly threw his arms about him and said, "I don't want you to go, Master Daniel... I want you to be happy again. I want you to smile...I don't like seein' you so sad."

Daniel smiled as he returned the hug and said, "I'm better now. Really. Thank you, Layton."

He broke the hug pulling free from the boy and preparing to rise when Layton reached out to touch his face and said, "You're returning to Lord Osiris?"

"Yes I have to."

"But you don't wanna. I can see you don't wanna. Did he hurt you Master Daniel? Did Lord Osiris make you sad?"

Daniel lowered his gaze to the floor and swallowed hard feeling both nervous and anxious as the child asked him the innocent question. He could also feel Ashton's eyes on him and felt very uncomfortable. As he gazed at Layton prepared to answer his question his mother interrupted, "He did hurt you. That is why you... Is that why you cry, Master Daniel? Does he hurt you when you are alone? Is our lord harming you when no one is around?"

"What? No, no I don't cry, I don't..."

She approached him placing a comforting hand on his shoulder as she softly answered, "Yes you do. I have seen you and Layton has seen you. Several of the others have also seen you. They say you do not cry often but that you sometimes appear so lonely and so lost. Many are worried for you Master Daniel. Our lord is happy now that you are here but you do not seem to be happy to be here. Why do you cry, Master Daniel? Why do you not smile or laugh as you should? What has our lord done to upset you so?"

"Noth...nothing. I'm fine. Look I really have to go now. He'll be looking for me. I have to..."

"Stay. Please will you stay for a few moments, Master Daniel? Layton has brought you here to cheer you up please let him do so. Stay."

He gazed at her in confusion, worry and concern as he replied, "But I make you uncomfortable, Ashton, and I don't want to do that. I need to go. You will feel so much better with me gone."

"I will feel so much better if you would accept the invitation that Layton has extended to you. What harm is there in accepting some of our cookies and sitting with us for a few moments, Master Daniel? Please. I insist. Come sit by the fire. Warm yourself and relax."

As he rose she approached him placing her arm across his shoulder to guide him to the fireplace. As her hand contacted his cold skin she quickly said, "You are cold, Master Daniel. You are very cold. Why did you not speak? Here I will get you a blanket."

"No, no really. I'm fine...I'm..."

"I will get you a blanket and you will sit before our fire with our son. Do not argue with me Master Daniel."

He hesitated but as she draped a warm blanket across his shoulders and guided him to the fire he found that he was too tired to complain or argue the point so he willingly sunk to the floor earning a soft scolding from her when he did not sit on the furniture. She instantly was at his side urging him to rise and have a seat on the furniture. He refused saying that the floor was just fine. She replied that a master's place is not on the floor but again he refused saying that he was comfortable where he sat. When she saw the determination in the man before her she gave up the argument choosing instead to fix a plate of cookies and drink up for the man.

When she brought the plate to him she smiled softly seeing that Daniel was now leaning against the couch and her son sat right beside him. Daniel was telling him a story and her son was smiling brightly. When she lowered the plate to Daniel she quietly asked, "What are you two doing?"

"Master Daniel's telling me a story, mamma. He tells the bestest stories, he really does."

Daniel smiled shyly as he lowered his gaze to the floor. She was a bit surprised that he seemed unable to accept a compliment. Why couldn't he accept a compliment? He seemed suddenly much younger then she believed him to be. When he attended his lord he always commanded attention and respect. He always kept his head up and his moves were graceful. He carried himself like their lord but now that she saw him up close she noticed that he was just a human being like the rest of them. He was a person that she feared she might have misjudged. She shook her head before saying, "He told you a story before?"

"Yep...he does...he'll come see us sometimes and show us things, tell us stories...reads...he's been teachin' us to read..."

Ashton jerked her head up in response to that comment and spoke uneasily, "A slave is not permitted to read or to learn to read..."

"Uh, yeah well...I... I don't... I really don't agree with that."

"You read?"

"Yes...I'm a teacher actually. I...yes."

"And Lord Osiris...he knows this about you?"

"Um, yes...yes he does."

"And he permits it?"

"Um...yeah...yes."

"I do not understand. Why would he keep a literate slave as his favored?"

"Um...don't know but...he does."

"I see... How long have you been teaching the children to read?"

"I don't... I don't know."

"What do you mean you do not know?"

Daniel lowered his gaze to the floor as he replied, "I don't know how long I've been...here. I am permitted to read and to visit the other servants but I don't know how long I've been here and...he doesn't tell me... I would guess two maybe three months, um since I arrived here... Well actually about a month later. The children they...they stayed away from me at first but when I started telling stories... They love it. They absolutely love it so I try to visit them when...when I can."

She watched him for the longest time saying nothing as he began to eat the cookies she provided. When he finished them he offered her a weak smile and thanked her for them. She returned his smile then took the plate and glass to the kitchen to be cleaned.

Daniel knew that he should return to Osiris but as he glanced at Layton noticing the boy was fast asleep he didn't have the heart to wake him so he stared into the fire recalling the many evenings he spent around the campfire with Jack, Sam and Teal'c. Soon his eyes also drifted shut and he too fell fast sleep.

When Ashton returned to see Daniel off she stopped shocked to see her son curled up against the man and the man deep asleep. She wondered if she should wake him but hesitated choosing to watch him instead. As she gazed at his youthful face she noticed just how young he appeared. He had a beautiful face and he was most handsome. No wonder their lord chose him to be his favored. She noticed that he kept his arm draped protectively around her child as he slept and that Layton trusted him enough to fall asleep in his arms. She smiled deciding not to wake him and if their lord came searching for him she would speak to his First Prime. In fact she should do so now.

She checked on her husband then on her guest and son before deciding to seek Zeenan out. When she found him he was gazing out of one of the palace windows looking very imposing. She tensed unsure of whether she was doing the right thing and for the briefest of moments was prepared to hightail it back to her home when he suddenly turned to focus on her. The moment his eyes clashed with hers she knew that there was no turning back so she hesitantly approached him hoping that he wouldn't become angry at finding a slave roaming the halls when they should be in bed. She watched him through hooded eyes tensing when he addressed her, "Why are you not in your home?"

There it was that question she just knew he was going to ask. She felt another extreme urge to run but held her ground forcing words passed her lips, "I...I... Forgive me, Master, I was... I was searching for you."

Zeenan cocked his head to the side and quirked up his eyebrows as he gazed upon the petite woman before him. She was a slave and yet she had approached him. Most of his lord's servants were too intimidated by him to approach him even in the light of day. He knew that there had to be some reason this woman sought him out at such a late hour of the night so he asked, "Why? What has happened that you would choose to seek me out so late in the night?"

"I...I... It is Master Daniel..."

When Zeenan's gaze grew darker looking almost menacing she quickly sputtered, "And...and Lord Osiris. I..."

"What about them?"

She lowered her gaze feeling suddenly very nervous and wondering if this hadn't been the stupidest idea she had ever had. She swallowed hard refusing to back down. She had come this far and needed to let someone know that Master Daniel was still in the palace. The last thing she wanted was for him to suffer yet another lashing for attempted escape when he resided within the palace just not where he was suppose to be at this moment in time. She raised her head focusing intently on Zeenan before continuing with her explanation, "Master Daniel was very upset earlier. He was walking the halls when my son...saw him and invited him to our home..."

She stopped half way through her explanation when she noticed the sudden concern and worry that quickly covered Zeenan's face. She felt herself relaxing further when he gently prodded, "Daniel was upset? What from? Did he say? Where is he?"

"Um...in, in my home. He is in my home...asleep but please Master do not..."

Zeenan cut her off as her revelation surprised him, "In your home...?"

"Yes, asleep."

"I see."

So it would seem that Daniel had managed to find more than one person he could talk to in this place. Good for him. He needed all the support he could get and he needed to socialize more than their lord was allowing. He could see that the woman was fearful and upset as well she should be for she had Osiris' favored in her home when he should be with his lord. He wondered what had sent Daniel to roam the palace as she had said and quickly questioned, "How is he?"

Ashton didn't know how to respond to that question for it was the last thing she expected Zeenan to say. She had waited on edge for his anger and rage, for his demands but the only response she received was a concerned how is he? What? As she continued to gaze at Zeenan she suddenly realized that he cared deeply for Master Daniel. She was amazed to see such concern and worry in him for a simple slave and hesitantly asked, "He...what?"

"How is Daniel?"

"He is...fine but..."

Zeenan smiled warmly before inclining his head and saying, "Thank you for opening your home to him."

Again she stared at him aghast. What was happening here? He was happy that a slave was not where he belonged? Why? She had to know so she inquired, "That is all? You are not angry or..."

"No I am not. I am, however, concerned. Daniel has not been happy here for a very long time and he would not have wandered these halls for no reason. Something had to have upset him. Something that occurred between him and our lord for Daniel would never leave his lord's side this late at night..."

"Wh...why?"

"Fear mainly..."

"So Lord Osiris does harm him?"

"He...threatens him to keep him subservient. Daniel is not sure of what his rights are. He is not used to serving another. He has been free for most of his life. He does not know what will happen if he disobeys his lord. As a precaution he remains in their bedchamber when his lord is asleep because he does not want to wake him or anger him. He would not have left unless something happened this evening to send him away... Daniel has no one to speak with about his situation. He...he is a very lonely young man. Thank you for listening to him and for opening your home to him."

She could only nod in response feeling her head swirling with the newest information Zeenan provided her regarding Master Daniel. She had no idea that he was so alone and that he was afraid to upset or anger his lord in any way. She suddenly began to understand just why many have commented on how sad he appears at times and many have mentioned seeing him crying or very upset. He must be a very lonely person if he has no one to talk to. She shook her head still awed by the information but quickly her mind returned to the point of this discussion, "You are not going to collect him?"

"No. If our lord requests that I bring Daniel to him then I will tell him that he is presently safe and will return in the morning. No I believe that Daniel needs this time to be away from his lord. He needs time to himself and that is something his lord often forgets to grant him. No allow him to rest and I will come collect him in the morning AFTER he has had a full night's rest."

"Uh thank...thank you Master..."

Again he inclined his head before responding, "You are most welcome. Please return to your home and rest. Daniel will be well and he will be safe at your home. I will come by in the morning to retrieve him and speak with him."

"Thank you, Master."

He nodded his head and watched her as she left his side to return to her home finding himself wondering again what sent Daniel fleeing his lord's side and certain that he already had a fair idea.

* * * * * *

Zeenan awoke early the next morning and reported to his lord. He told Osiris that Daniel was safe and that he would retrieve his servant for him. Osiris smiled in relief glad that Zeenan at least knew where Daniel ran the prior evening. He had to talk to his servant about the events that had transpired last night. Sarah had been caught up in the moment. She had no intention of hurting Daniel and had she known that he would react as he had she would have never taken their lovemaking quite that far. Now she was feeling extremely guilty and upset because she knew that she had somehow hurt Daniel and was unsure of how to apologize to him for her actions. He spent half the night consoling her until exhaustion won over sending her into a deep sleep. He had monitored her throughout the rest of the night finding that he was having difficulty sleeping himself and preparing to be there for her when she awoke again.

He focused on Zeenan, listening to his First Prime as the Jaffa implied that Daniel might need a bit more time to himself before he would return to his side. Osiris nodded understanding perfectly and told Zeenan not to bother his favored just yet. He said that Daniel would come to him when he was ready. Zeenan bowed before excusing himself and setting out to locate Daniel. He wanted to check on him to make certain that he was indeed all right and to offer to listen to him should Daniel need someone to talk to.

He quickly located the servant who approached him last evening about Daniel and knocked on her door. She opened the door and smiled at him. He nodded before softly questioning, "How is he this morning?"

"He is doing well, My Master."

"May I come in?"

"Please do."

She stepped aside allowing him entrance into her home. As he walked in he found himself looking about the room and liking what he saw. Before he could look any further he heard Daniel softly inquiring, "He sent you to retrieve me. Didn't he?"

"Daniel..."

Daniel smiled warmly at Zeenan greeting him and waving him over to where he now sat on Ashton's couch. He watched as his friend approached and lowered beside him gazing at him with concern. Daniel quickly reassured, "I'm fine, Zeenan. I was just a little bit upset last night and needed some time to myself."

"I am glad that you have found another place to come to when you are upset."

Daniel simply nodded before asking again, "He did send you to retrieve me..."

"No. No he did not..."

Daniel only continued to smile as he responded "I'll come with you now."

"Daniel, I have told our lord that you needed some...time to yourself. You do not have to run back to him... Tell me what has happened?"

"I...uh, nothing, nothing Zeenan," he answered while down casting his eyes to the floor.

Zeenan observed him noticing that Daniel was still upset about something that had happened and didn't seem too willing to discuss it but he had to try again, "Daniel, I have been told that you were crying, that you were very upset, please do not try to convince me that it is nothing."

He glanced nervously up at Zeenan saying, "I... Well you... It's...nothing... Look I got upset because... I..."

"He hurt you again did he not?"

Daniel jerked his head up gawking at Zeenan unable to speak. Zeenan merely nodded and said, "I suspected as much. He was aggressive with you again, was he not?"

Daniel blushed and turned his head away as he replied, "What? How...?"

"I do check on you, Daniel. I watch over you and I have seen what his aggressiveness does to you. He draws pleasure from causing you pain while you mate and you do not like it..."

"No I hate it..."

"But you yield to him. You allow him to take such liberties."

He cast an angry gaze Zeenan's way before answering, "Because I have no choice in the matter..."

Zeenan nodded seeing the anger and frustration in Daniel so apparent then continued, "Perhaps I should speak with our lord about this issue."

Daniel's eyes widened with alarm before he interrupted, "What? No, no you can't...you can't do that."

"Why can I not do that, young one?"

"Be...well because, Zeenan, you just can't...you can't do that."

Zeenan reached up and gently cupped Daniel's face before saying, "I can and I will. This has you very upset Daniel. You were so upset that you ran from your lord. This is an issue that must be dealt with. You cannot allow him to continue to hurt you so when it is obvious that you derive no pleasure from the acts."

Daniel shook his head before softly replying, "I'm...I'm learning to... I am. I'm accepting it."

"You should not have to accept it Daniel."

"I don't have a choice. I'm a slave remember?"

"You are entitled to speak your feelings aloud. You do not have to hurt for him, Daniel..."

Daniel lowered his gaze feeling ashamed and nervous. He knew that Zeenan was right. He should talk to Osiris about his feelings regarding the issue but he couldn't do that. He was a slave so if Osiris wanted to throw him down, beat him up then rape him he damn well could because he had no say. He did as his master commanded. He had no say.

Zeenan watched him as Daniel seemed to be considering their discussion and knew that he would have to do something about it. Daniel knew all too well what his status was in this palace. He knew his position all too well therefore he probably wouldn't say anything to Osiris unless it became too much for him to handle. Knowing Daniel Jackson the stubborn man would probably continue to accept the aggressive side of his lord and say nothing about the pain he endures during those acts. He saw Daniel several times bruised and clawed up from his lord's aggressive side and Daniel never said anything about it. He never complained about it instead he just accepted and continues to accept. He shouldn't have to do that. It wasn't right. If Daniel didn't draw as much pleasure out of the balance of pain and pleasure that Osiris seemed to enjoy in his intercourse then Daniel should not have to tolerate it at all. He would soon have to speak with his lord on this very issue.

When it was apparent to him that Daniel was not going to say anything else on the issue Zeenan prepared to excuse himself informing Daniel that he would come to retrieve him should Osiris request his attendance.

Daniel shook his head no and told Zeenan that he would come with him. Before he left he thanked Ashton and her son for their hospitality and their generosity. He also promised to stop by and visit more often. Ashton smiled before informing him that if he ever needed a place to go when he was upset or just wanted to talk that her home would always be open to him. He again thanked her and he and Zeenan headed towards his bedchamber. Once to his bedchamber they parted company and Zeenan left to give him privacy and inform his lord that Daniel was well and would be joining him shortly.
