A Master is not someone who merely revels in the benefits that he reaps from the power and control that he wields over his sub.
A Master is not just an automaton who emotionally doles out orders and watches with amusement as his minions perform his bidding.
A Master is not a person who only relishes the benefits that his superior status entitles him.
Certainly all of these characteristics could and often do exist within a Master. He may be demanding and at times selfish. He may genuinely enjoy and even be aroused by the power that he has over a sub. He may be able to expertly control his emotions, issuing his commands and enforcing his discipline with stone-faced determination.
But a true Master, is so invested in his sub that he is actually in a way a slave himself.
He is a slave
- to passion and commitment.
- to protecting his property.
