In the planetary star system Ecryon, sexual enslavement of women is a way of life. Terenth, heir to the Ecryon realm, attends an auction with his childhood friend, Jaxx, to acquire his very first slave without his father’s help. Terenth’s ownership of his chosen slave, Arcada, will ultimately prove rewarding and challenging to them both. This is a short (1900 word) introduction of how Terenth and Arcada first met and the circumstances of the very beginning of her ownership. Their story continues twelve years later in INTERPLANETARY SLAVE: Arcada of Ecryon. That full-length novel explores what occurs when Terenth becomes angry with Arcada and sends her to Earth to face unknown dangers. That novel contains explicit sexual passages and adult content, unlike this introduction.
