He seeks out Master Falcon, the slave trader, to purchase the submissives he so craved. He doesn't see there is more to being a Master than just owning slaves. Master Falcon's price is quite high.

I knew something was wrong the moment we entered that woman’s house. Mistress Lilith… hell to me she looked like a spider trying to tempt us all to get caught in her web. The way she looked at my Master, it made me nervous and hot all at the same time. She wanted him. Sure I have seen enough men and women drool over my Master, but this was different. Especially when I looked up at him, he wanted her too. It’s been awhile since I seen that kind of hunger in my Master’s eyes. Mistress Angelique can feel it too. I can see how nervous she is. Good, let her sweat, she has the honor of being Master Dante’s lover, she should have to work for it. If this was the only thing that awaited me everything would be just fine. Mistress Lilith’s favorite submissive’s name is Romulus. Just hearing that name makes all the pain and guilt I have buried bubble to the surface. Romulus…my little brother…my greatest regret…my greatest joy…Romulus…it’s too much for me to take in. I tell Pmyself what are the odds that my brother is Lilith’s new submissive, yet, it is him. I honestly don’t know if I can get through this. My Master is right here for me, like he has always been. With his help I might just survive this. I just hope we both don’t get caught in Lilith’s web. -Apollo, Master Dante’s slave.

It took her a moment to gather the courage to ring the doorbell. After she had, it seemed like an eternity before the door opened. And there he was standing there before her. He smiled and reached out his hand and simply said, “Come with me, girl.” He knew what she wanted to ask before she could say the words. Master Drake couldn’t have told him she was coming because she didn’t tell him she was coming here. Yet, Master Mato was letting her know it would be alright with those four words and that warm smile of his. “Come with me, girl.” How could those four simple words change everything? Master Mato couldn’t believe Tao chose him over Master Drake. After all Drake was the paragon of Masterhood. Yet, there she was standing on his doorstep looking so vulnerable. She wanted to be his and he was going to do everything he could to deserve the honor of being her Master.
