massage she was giving me, I could tell something wasn’t right with her, either.
    â€œOkay, little one, speak. I know something’s wrong because yourenergy has changed,” I commanded. “And don’t say ‘it’s nothing, Goddess,’ either, or you’ll put Me in a very bad mood. Considering I’m already going through it with My cycle, you might want to put some thought into your response.”
    sajira hesitated for a second before the emotions poured out of her. “It’s the same conversation we’ve been having for the past year, Goddess, but i didn’t want to burden You with it anymore. Ice is becoming more difficult by the month, especially now that shamise is living with us.”
    I exhaled. Ice had been becoming more difficult by the moment, and it seemed that no one could redirect his focus. He’d been especially disobedient and insubordinate toward Ramesses and me lately, to the point to where I had to break him down to his knees in front of his Mistress, Sinsual, to get him to calm down on the home front. His and Ramesses’s relationship had deteriorated to where he no longer even came over on their traditional Poker nights to hang with Jay and the rest of the crew.
    At the rate he was heading, he would find himself on the outside looking in if he wasn’t careful. Sin’s patience was at its limit, and she had privately confided in me that she was on the verge of releasing him if his behavior didn’t improve. He even insisted on being called by his slave name, lynx, almost full time now, with the only exception being when we were in our swingers’ circles, and he withdrew from that scene the moment Sin took him as her property.
    I knew Sin, and she didn’t take kindly to her submissives embarrassing her when they were not with her. tiger, her Alpha slave, understood that from the beginning, and even he was becoming disenchanted with lynx also. I secretly wondered if tiger were simply trying to figure out what he could get out of his interaction andtraining of his brother submissive, otherwise, he would have whispered in his Mistress’s ear months ago to find a way to release him.
    This entire situation began to wear on both of our girls, and while Ramesses and I offered to move them to our old house, sajira was insistent upon trying to work things out with her husband. shamise did not want to abandon her sister, as she had become accustomed to living with her, despite the negative energy resonating through the house. They even stopped having sex after sajira was collared last year, which seemed to concern sajira more than it did lynx. His only concern was pleasing his Mistress from then on, which was funny to me because his actions were definitely contrary to what pleased Sin.
    As long as lynx wasn’t verbally or physically abusive, Ramesses and I maintained our distance while keeping a close eye on his interactions whenever we were at NEBU or when we were at different functions in other parts of the city. In my heart, I’d hoped he came to his senses and realized he’s hurting his wife, but at the same time, there was no other way to really make him see unless sajira left him.
    The last thing either of us wanted to do was issue a directive, but enough was enough.
    â€œsajira, you know your Daddy and I love you, but there’s only so much we can take watching you go through this.” I turned around and caressed her cheek, making sure she maintained eye contact with me. “Compromise takes two people, baby girl, and he’s no longer willing to be the other party in this.”
    â€œGoddess, i know, but it’s so hard to let him go.” sajira fell to her knees, clutching my thigh as tears began to fall. “i still love him, but i also know he’s being a bit ridiculous also. i want to strangle him sometimes because i know this is not the man i married.”
    â€œSis, sometimes things run their
