Re: Slaves Don't Need Visas Ch. 01-03

Hi Lovethissite, Sorry to hear it didn’t work for you! The forum doesn’t allow me to embed a player here, so all I can do is link to the mp3. When I click on it, it plays in my browser. I’ve uploaded the same audio (Chapters 1 and 39) to AO3 with an embedded player: https://archiveofourown.org/works...

Re: Slaves Don't Need Visas Ch. 51-Epilogue

Hey Jarda, Thanks for your feedback! I get why you’re disappointed with the ending. I set out to write a darker tale where Melissa stays enslaved, mostly because I’ve always been drawn to stories like that myself and found the “freedom at the end” ones a bit flat. But putting myself into Melissa’s m...

Slaves Don't Need Visas Ch. 51-Epilogue

51. Epilogue Arbek Arbek stepped out of the Grabesh detention center, and the iron gates clanged shut behind him. The parole papers crinkled in his pocket, a reminder of the short sentence he had served for assaulting Markus. He still burned to free Melissa. The mental image of her collared neck st...

50. At the Farm Markus sat in the dim light of his hut. The air was heavy with the scent of salt and the distant hum of waves beyond Ngalawa Bay. His bags were packed, a single duffel resting by the door, ready for his permanent return to Switzerland. The chaos of Arbek’s assault still weighed on h...

49. Off to New Beginnings Markus sat on the edge of his bed in the rented hut, the morning sun slanting through the slatted window, casting harsh lines across his bruised face. His jaw throbbed where Arbek’s fist had landed, a dull ache that pulsed with every heartbeat, and a faint purple bruise bl...

48. The Milk Bar Shift Simba’s Milk Hut buzzed with the hum of Grabesian men. Their laughter echoed off the wooden walls as lanterns cast a warm glow overhead. Melissa moved swiftly between tables as her bare feet padded across the rough floorboards with a tray of empty glasses balanced in her hand...

Re: Slaves Don't Need Visas Ch. 42-44

I thought she would only stay a few weeks at most. That is a good point. I have been thinking about this and I have changed it now so it is not months that she stays there but only a few weeks. I basically got rid of the 'Over the next few months' bit in chapter 43 and updated other indicators of p...

47. Zahara’s Game Melissa stood near the wall, her bare feet shifting on the rough floor. Zahara stood by the door, arms crossed, her athletic body tense with energy. The room was quiet for a moment, then Zahara spoke, her voice firm and sharp. “Kneel,” she said. Melissa frowned, a spark of resista...

46. The Price of Milk Sunlight filtered through the mudhut’s slatted window, casting thin lines across the wooden table where Markus sat, shirt unbuttoned, hair damp from the morning’s heat.

45. The Bargain Melissa sank onto the bed in Markus’s hut Wednesday evening, her muscles aching from two grueling days of hauling trash for the council’s “character building” work.

Hi Belinda, I so enjoyed this installment. Even with my life long submissive leanings I think my reactions would be the same as Melissa's. I am in my mind living this with her and although might fight it as she is doing see myself slipping into the life totally as relying on someone else to bear the...

Re: Slaves Don't Need Visas Ch. 39-41
