"Yes, Master. Will we be a leaving soon?"

"Absolutely, Little Tiger," (her eyebrows rose, as she realized he knew).

Using my mind communications, I sent to her {"yes, Little Tiger, I know.... and approve}.

"We'll talk about this further later on, after supper." I said.
"AMY! Would you show JadeTiger to her stateroom, please?" She nodded with a smile, and took Jade by the hand.
Jade’s heart pounded as Amy took her hand and leads her away. Her mind was on the man she had called Master. Did Lord Chuck really know how she felt and what she was searching for deep inside herself? Jade had known this trip was going to be a turning point for her and that frightened her. She had decided to put all of her trust and faith in this man. She had known from the moment their minds had touched that he held the key to open all the doors inside her. She trembled as Amy open the door to the stateroom and ushered her inside. Beauty and grace she repeated in her mind then said a silent thank you to Ruby.

Amy showed her where everything was and Jade looked around the room. It was very nice and much bigger then she was use to for a sailing vessel.

”Thank you Amy. It was very kind of you to make me feel so at home”, Jade said with a smile.

“Your welcome” Amy replied.

Jade gave Amy another smile as she left the room. Jade removed her clothes placing them in a drawer. She was starting to feel at ease when she was naked now. She crawled onto the bed and snuggled a pillow close. This trip held so many unknowns for her and she fought the slight feeling of panicked rising inside her. Jade used her deep respect for Lord Chuck to drive away her doubts. She keep telling herself if she let him guide her and turned over control to him she would succeed in everything he asked of her. She did want to succeed and she did want him to be proud of her. But her lack of ability to turn over control still worried her. She only hoped that Lord Chuck would understand. These thoughts rambling around in her mind as she drifted off to sleep thinking of the man she now called master in her heart.
